Hey, I'm at UT!!!

But there's so many obscure "Informal Classes" here, nobody really takes them seriously. Hence the use of the word "informal."

And the fact that Wicca is one of the "fastest growing religions" is irrelevant. If they recruit 7 more members, then they've grown 100%.

Stupid, but funny.

I'm waiting for astrology...for science-oriented witches.

I would also consider cosmetology (isn't that what Carl Sagan majored in).

I imagine it would be a good class to pick up women in.

Do they have "informal" classes on Christianity, or Judaism?

I knew a couple of really hot Wiccan girls in college. If nothing else, girls in this class will tend to be sexually adventurous.

Whadda joke. A made-up religion that can't decide what it believes.

"Wicca doesn't believe in Satan"
"But I thought you said Wiccans could practice Wicca anyway they want"
"That's true"
"In that case, couldn't a Wiccan choose to believe in Satan"
"Wicca doesn't believe in Satan"
"But I thought you said Wiccans could practice Wicca anyway they want"
"That's true"
"In that case, couldn't a Wiccan choose to believe in Satan"

ad infinitum
