A real life school for apprentice wizards? In California?!?! California owns
http://www.greyschool.com/


Meet Silverthorn. A Field Warden of the Grey Council.



Silverthorn is a graduate of East Carolina University with a BA in English Literature. He focused his studies on folklore, science fiction/fantasy, Shakespeare, and early English literature. In the last few years, he has been teaching himself web design and programming. He joined the Wardens of the Grey Council as a Field Warden in November 2013. He currently resides in Greensboro, NC.

Fascinated by the mysterious and arcane from a young age, Silverthorn began walking a wizardly path in 1998. Without a formal teacher, he sought out arcane knowledge where he could find it, gaining particular skill in energy work, tarot, mythology, and Fae lore.

In mundane life, Silverthorn works in customer service for an information technology company. His hobbies include reading (obviously!), computer and tabletop gaming, writing very short stories that will probably never become the larger stories he wants them to be, and tormenting his young apprentice with that most dreaded of questions: “Why?”

Oh, put that thing away, Samurai. We all know what's going to happen. You'll swing your sword, I'll fly away, and probably say something like, "I'll be back, Samurai!" And then I'll flutter over the horizon and we probably won't see each for... about a week. And then we'll do the same thing again.

They have a grimoire and everything. poo poo must be real. The tuition is very modest as well! For less than a hundred dollars a year, you can send your child to a school that will result in a degree worth more than one from the University of Phoenix!
