OPS has been informed by Meta / Facebook that this FB page is being closed due to copyright infringement. We were not aware of any infringement nor would the accusers respond to specific queries. We suspect religious persecution but have no means to confirm it. Sr Staff have been discussing the possibility of an OPS100 course starting Sept 2025. If you are curious pm me.

OPS 200 will be offered online this year, via Zoom. This 9-week course builds on the skills learned in OPS 100 and provides a foundation for ongoing study and practice. Classes will be Wednesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30, starting November 25th, and continuing to January 20th. The online version will emphasize theory, with some practice through guided meditations. Material that can only be taught face to face is excluded. Topics covered include tools, elements, astral travel, spell casting, divination, and ritual. If you are interested, please sign up at https://paganschola.org/index.php/our-courses/our-courses/1-all/15-intermediate-circle-skills-online. Please note that successful completion of OPS 100 is a prerequisite.

Coming Up This Fall:
OPS-130: Making Talismans, Pt I (Online Edition). Yes, David has adapted his popular Spellweaving/Talismans course to online learning. While we can indeed show you how to design talismans and work out their correspondences by remote learning, we cannot show you how to make the underlying magic come alive. Consequently an ability to consecrate and charge things, as taught in OPS-100 for instance, is an absolute requirement for the course since we cannot meet in person.
If you already know how to exorcise and charge things, feel free to ask for an exception to the OPS-100 prereq.

See https://paganschola.org/index.php/our-courses/our-courses/1-all/16-talismans-online-part-1 for more about the course, including its registration page.

In-person classes are suspended until next year at the earliest. Our Winter & Spring terms remain on hold until we get a green light from Ontario, Ottawa Public Health and the various sites where our classes are normally held. As long as those sites remain closed, we cannot meet in person. Meanwhile, we're looking at a couple of on-line classes to tide y'all over.

OPS continues to monitor the situation and will continue to keep all parties up to date on our plans via the website and our pages. Our hearts go out to you in these challenging times — stay safe and stay well. 😷
