Grey School of Wizardry
The Grey School of Wizardry is a school specializing in occult magic, operating primarily online and as a non-profit educational institution in the State of California. It was founded by present headmaster Oberon Zell-Ravenheart, a founder of the Church of All Worlds. The school was reported to be "the first wizard school to be officially recognized as an academic establishment."〔Myash, Jeff, (March 2, 2011), ("This spells trouble! Real-life Dumbledore opens world's first wizard school" ), ''MailOnline'', Retrieved October 13, 2013.〕 It is a secular institution, not a religious one, and is not affiliated with any religion or religious organization. Over 450 classes are offered in 16 magical departments. Graduates are certified as “Journeyman Wizards”, using the traditional title ''journeyman'' signifying one who has completed an apprenticeship.

Before the school opened, the Grey Council was established in 2002 by Oberon Zell-Ravenheart as an advisory group to determine the curriculum.〔(Oberon Zell ), The Church of All Worlds. Retrieved on November 27, 2013.〕 The Grey Council was composed of some two dozen authors, mystics, magicians and leaders of neopagan communities around the world, including Raymond Buckland, Raven Grimassi, Patricia Telesco, Frederic Lamond, Morning Glory Zell-Ravenheart, Donald Michael Kraig, Katlyn Breene, Robert Lee "Skip" Ellison, Jesse Wolf Hardin, Nicki Scully, Sam Webster, Trina Robbins, Ronald Hutton, Amber K, Ellen Evert Hopman, Luc Sala and Jeff McBride.〔Cusack, Carole M. (2010) “The Church of All Worlds and Pagan Ecotheology: Uncertain Boundaries and Unlimited Possibilities,” (''DISKUS'' ), Vol 11.〕〔(Grey School of Wizardry: Grey Council Membership )〕 The Grey Council worked through 2003 to produce a textbook—a grimoire—for the school, the ''Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard'' (2004). This was followed by the ''Companion for the Apprentice Wizard'' in 2006.〔("About the School: The Grey School of Wizardry". Retrieved on November 27, 2013. )〕
The Grey School of Wizardry first opened on the pagan holiday of Lughnasadh on August 1, 2004. In 2011 it reported 735 students.〔 The school's motto is: ''Omnia vivunt, omnia inter se conexa'' (“Everything is alive; everything is interconnected” — Cicero). It is a nonprofit educational institute for children 11–17 years of age, and also for adults of any age.〔Fleischmann, Tom (Winter, 2009), "On Alticorns," ''Indiana Review'', 31(2).〕 The name of the school may derive from the colors associated with the wizards in the J. R. Tolkien classic, ''Lord of the Rings'' and, in particular, with the appendix to the name of the protagonist Gandalf (the Grey).〔Cusack, Carole M. (2010) ''Invented Religions: Imagination, Fiction and Faith'' (Farnham, Surrey: Ashgate), 73-79.〕 It was incorporated as a non-profit educational institution in California on March 14, 2004,〔Cusack, Carole M (2009) "Science Fiction as Scripture: Robert A. Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land and the Church of All Worlds," ''Literature and Aesthetics: The Journal of the Sydney Society of Literature and Aesthetics'', 19(2).〕 and received a 501(c)(3) tax exemption from the Internal Revenue Service on September 27, 2007.〔Knowles, George (November 29, 2009), "Oberon & Morning Glory Zell-Ravenheart," ("Controverscial.com" ), Retrieved November 16, 2013.〕
