Is Flamel College accredited or a scam?

Question

Id love to study theories and courses in the supernatural and metaphysics. But unfortunately, that sort of thing is thin on the ground! (legitimate ones at least) Flamel College keeps popping up but I cant find anything about its accreditation, or anything to prove legitimacy. And the coursework seems of little substance. Each course is a book, some notes and a piece of paper at the end. Not like any college I know....

Does anyone know of any legitimate universities or organization that offer studies in magick, the paranormal, supernatural, metaphysics, demonology, etc.....?

Answer 1

Franklin Pierce College (fully accredited) in New Hampshire offers parapsychology as a specialization with a major in psychology (Bachelors degree).

The University of Edinburgh http://www.ed.ac.uk/ offers a PhD in Parapsychology and research is conducted via their Koestler Parapsychology Unit http://moebius.psy.ed.ac.uk/

The Rhine Research Center http://www.rhine.org offers a six week summer seminar in parapsychology research.

Unfortunately I know of nothing (accredited) that is offered online.

Answer 2

I believe "Flamel" is the shortened name. The real full name is "Flim-Flamel College".  And no, it is not accredited.

Answer 3

Try to find it an information about what you are interested in on the U.S. Department of Educations website

www.ed.gov    I think that is it.

Answer 4

No. Flamel College is not accredited. I have listed a few institutions that are however below for you in the sources section that offer introductory as well as graduate level studies in parapsychology.

Nearly all of the parapsychologists in the world do not have a degree in parapsychology and may have backgrounds in almost any science you can think of (though a large number have degrees in psychology and physics).  Good luck!

Answer 5

No honest school teaches this stuff.Because  it's not real.You'll find some odd-balls around wasting time and money.But their research never ever amounts to anything.Doing real magic is impossible.that's the truth.

Answer 6

A direct quote from the Flamel College web site:

New courses for the coming year include Advanced Paranormal Investigator Certification, Crytozoologist Certification, Tarot Consultant Certification, Transpersonal Psychology, Introduction to Alchemy, Complete Alchemy Laboratory with Experiments, Certification in Herbal Medicine, and a number of new online courses.

I can offer far better than this.  

My own courses include How to Leap Off Tall Buildings, Naming all the Cards in a Normal Pack of Cards, Predicting that It Might Rain Soon, and Moving Distant Objects with Your Mind and a Big Stick.  My graduate courses include Why Clairvoyance Doesn't Work in a Casino, and You Can Fool Some of the People All of the Time.

Email me for prices etc.  Enrolments can be taken any time.

Answer 7

Unless you happen to be one of those lucky folks, born with an enrollment to Hogwarts School for Wizards and Witches, I'll bet you'll never find even one!  I don't mean to dissapoint you but there has never been any valid verification for any of the subjects or courseworks offered by Flamel College or any other school professing to teach witchcraft, occultism, psychic development, metaphysics, etc.

  These mail-order schools are nothing more than scams, and your resident professor of the occult arts never turns out to be anything else than a warehouse full of such books which they are trying to move quickly.  Save your money!

  However don't be so quick to overlook colleges (which teach courses in science and math)--those are real courses which will help you in life--not as exciting as casting a spell, I know, but how many jobs ever list spells and hexes as a requirement for employment.  I feel like magic is best pursued for personal purposes and as such--you are your own best teacher, not some mail-order witchcraft instructor.

  Blessed be!
