Museic 101 ?

[Erincelt]

In the process of rewriting the texts of our Tradition, someone came up with the idea of a Museicism-specific rendition of a Wicca 101 class. Part of the concept, is we could have the class and the introductory 'book' follow the same format, with the 'book' expanding the material further, and maybe exploring some tangents which the class does not.

So... lucky me, as usual, gets to make this happen. Good thing I have no life, huh? ;) I've been trying to figure out a way to arrange the topics in a way that keeps them roughly in order of the importance we place on them... so this is my initial agenda:

-- Introduction/Disclaimer/What to expect/What is expected
-- Q&A, 3 questions
-- History of Wicca, and of the Tradition
-- God and Goddess
-- Core Tenets: Rede, LoR, Resp, etc
-- The Muse
-- The Nine Sisters
-- Great Work
-- Death and Afterlife
-- Ritual: Reason, Framework
-- Sabbats
-- Esbats
-- Elements: Purpose, Definitions
-- Regarding other Traditions
-- Regarding other faiths
-- Reality of magic
-- Q&A, cards passed forward

Notice there's barely any mention of magic until the very end, which is nothing but an explanation of what we believe magic is. Museic practice puts no emphasis whatsoever on magic, but rather all on religion. If an individual chooses -- as I have -- to be a Magician as well as Museic Wiccan, fine. But they will be studying magic on their own.

Well... comments, suggestions, questions, whatevers?? :)
And if anyone has any hard-earned lessons from giving these 101-type classes before, I'd be much appreciative if you'd share them.

Your school allows you to teach religion in class?

[Erincelt]

Mm.. sorta. :) The city's public high school has a "Philosophy" course which does a couple of sections on religion. I loved that class.

But I wasn't thinking just schools.. actually I was thinking of borrowing the Wesleyan College's auditorium and making it public-access. I love Ky Wesleyan for their open-mindedness.. I hate them for their rediculously high tuition costs.. ;)

This is slight off-topic, but.. eh, whatever. :) I've currently left out the section of afterlife in this rundown, as there's some discussion going on right now in regard to that.

But...
Museic Temple of Owensboro : Tradition (http://www.kydance.net/~invironz/museic/tradition.php)

So... any suggestions as to wording and whatnot? Any questions you think are worth addressing in this that I haven't? I'll eventually be replacing this with a slightly more formatted version, but I did manage to type this out in just a couple of minutes, so I figure its pretty good for now. :D
