Wiccan lottery winner to open real life Hogwarts wizard school
Wiccan ‘high priest’ Bunky Barlett who won $49 million dollars is planning to open a school for witches - a real life Hogwarts. Bunky who quit his day job, a bookkeeping service after winning the lottery.
I’m not really sure how you become a high priest in the Wiccan church - I’m pretty sure that it involves at a least dozen box tops and a self addressed stamp though.
He told the Associated Press that his school will teach not just about Wicca but also about multiple spiritual traditions, as well as offering training in practical skills like financial management.
Bartlett has already contributed to a Special Olympics event, to Mystickal Voyage, a New Age shop where he currently teaches, and to a Stonehenge preservation group in England.
The following video is from The Associated Press, broadcast on October 30, 2007.
Bartlett had not decided if he will accept his winnings as an annuity or choose the lump sum cash option. The jackpot could get larger once ticket sales are tallied, Roogow said, but the lump sum payment would be at least $48.7 million, or about $32 million after taxes.

According to preliminary calculations, each ticket would be worth about $82 million if the prize were taken in 26 annual payments.
Bartlett said the money won’t change him, although he plans to invest in Mystickal Voyage. “I’m going to live my life like I have been,” he said.
The odds that any ticket would match all five numbers - 8, 18, 22, 40 and 44 - and the Mega Ball number - 11 - were one in 176 million.
Bartlett does look like he should be wearing comfortable shoes, voting democratic and running a bed and breakfast somewhere. His wife Denise swears he is a man so we will take him for is word though.
If having your kids be anywhere near this creepy looking guy doesn’t give you pause, the fact that he’s running a school for witches should rule out most responsible parents from attending his school. Although most school districts are overrun by illegal aliens whose parents don’t speak English will be oblivious to his hair brained Wicca subject matter and will confuse him for a kindly old woman so he should have a pretty full class.
They mythical and majestic Hogwarts School of Wizardry.
They newly opened Hogwart’s School of Magic, off I-17 two blocks from Costco. Your kids might be in for a real life dose of reality when real life doesn’t live up to fantasy. Oh well, welcome to the adult world - it will prepare them for marriage and all the impending disappointments to be experienced growing up.
On the plus side hell may or may not exist so your children’s eternal souls are only possibly damned.

WTF
jerome aronson you’re an ignorant narrow minded asshole. what you said about Elwood Bartlett is completly inappropriate a plebian like you has no right to judge anyone so go fuck yourself.
Wow such language from a witch, now where do you get off saying that I can’t make fun of anyone? I will judge anyone I please with or without your permission, and there is nothing you or your merry little band of dungeons and dragons nerds can do about it.
The judges have spoken…
Now I know you are probably a very high level wizard in everquest or whatever lame wizard crap you are into so please don’t cast a spell on me or make a voodoo doll of me. Although that would be somewhat entertaining if you took pictures and shared them - so please do so.
I have not yet begun to be inappropriate!
VILLAGER #1: If… she… weighs… the same as a duck,… she’s made of wood.
BEDEVERE: And therefore?
VILLAGER #2: A witch!
Is it just me or does “Bunky” Barlett bear more than just a passing resemblance to Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars (nerd reference for the all the wizards in the house)…
(a) Both Have same diet
(b) Same person, used in film without cool makeup
(c) Evil wizardry turned his face like that - kinda like the star wars emperor dude
(d) Only distant relatives, same cousin on his mom’s side
(e) Separated at birth
You be the judge
UPDATE: Dane has decreed that we are no longer allowed to judge people anymore….
Well.
May I start by saying I am a Wiccan. Do you know this religion? Do you know the facts behind it? Do you know that Wiccans and Pagans alike are a more peaceful religion than any other? What about the fact that no real satanist has ever been more violent than the Catholic/Christian family? Witchcaft of anytype is not “evil.” Very few of us call ourselves “witches” and/or “wizards.” The phrase “Real-life hogwarts” did not imply flying on broom sticks (or anything else for that matter), saying words that are unreal, difficult to pronounce or spell, or anything of the sort. They imply that they are going to teach things that are out of public eye but require honest dedication. We know that there is something different in the world than a “God” that will punish us if we don’t stick to a straight line. Why would someone that loved you and created you want to punish you? Why is that people of any sort wish us to disappear? We wish many of you would disappear. Any real Wiccan does not harm people… Sorry about not making you a voodoo doll… However if you search google you can make your own… not that it will work but, I myself would enjoy the pictures as well. And as far as it goes to become a Wiccan priest(ess) no box tops included nor pre-stamped envelopes. I must take a moment here to apologize for ruining so many of your thoughts. You made yourself look like an ass by insulting something and people that you know nothing about. I must say I enjoyed the laugh. Thank-You.
Witch!
Father in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I repent of all involvement in voodoo, obeah, witchcraft, sorcery, divination, or conjuration that I or any of my family members have been involved in the past. Forgive me Lord when I have innocently or ignorantly gone to or carried someone else to a root worker. I command all spirits to be weakened and bound and I cast them out in the Name of Jesus. I cut off their power over me and my family line in the heavenlies and on the earth. I cast out every demon who has been summoned to curse us to come out of me now in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I command all soul destroying demons to be bound and ask the Lord to restore my soul to its proper place in the Name of Jesus. I break the curses of candle burning to dead saints, rosary prayers and statute or idol worshipping of voodoo. In the Name of Jesus I break curses of the tongue coming against me from those who are bound by voodoo or witchcraft.
DEMONS TO CAST OUT: (This is not an all inclusive list.)
In the Name of Jesus I cast out
African, Haitian and Black Voodoo and Witchcraft; spirits of infirmity that has entered because of the effects of voodoo or witchcraft. I renounce and turn against all household gods and command these demons to come out of me and my family. I command all voodoo soul destroying demons to be bound in the name of Jesus and to come out. Spirits of death and false gifts by voodoo and witchcraft, I cast you out in Jesus’ Name. Demons of candle burning, rosary prayers and idol worship come out now in Jesus’ Name. I command all hidden demons to come out of me in the Name of Jesus
Please contact your local Christian police officer or Pastor if you witness anything listed below. We ask that you try your best to subdue any godless creatures engaged in such activities until professional help arrives. Members of the community are asked to keep 10 yards of Captain’s Rope, a case of duct tape and a loaded shotgun within running distance throughout the entire month October as we declare, “Open Season on Wicca.”
1. A Gathering of Pale-Skinned Obese People in Baggy Clothes with Multiple Tattoos and/or Facial Piercings: In addition, a solitary or lonely looking overweight individual who meets the above description should also raise immediate concern!
2. Renaissance Festivals: These fairs or “festivals” are slyly marketed to mainstream sinners, but our Occult experts have found that they are nothing more than Wiccan recruitment centers.
3. Overweight People Climbing Trees: Wiccans practice tree climbing in our region due to the fact that we hold nightly hunting parties where the only way a Wiccan can escape the Lord’s wrath is by climbing a tree (which we usually light on fire anyway).
4. Skateboarding with Baggy Pants and Loose Sneakers: Skateboarding is a gateway sin which cunning Wiccan Den Mothers of the Night use to introduce their children to the Occult.
5. Motorcycle Gangs: It is common knowledge that gangs like, “The Hell’s Angels,” have been getting paid top dollar since the early 1970’s to kidnap attractive young ladies who are sold as sex-slaves to Wiccan High Priests.
6. Liberal Political Propaganda Stickers on Automobiles: Liberals like to claim “tolerance,” so that even Wiccans are welcomed by the succor of their twisted politics. The truth is, Jesus is not tolerant. And True Christians™ shouldn’t be either! Jesus is going to burn people in Hell if they don’t believe in Him. If He was tolerant, He’d let everyone into Heaven, which of course - is NOT the case!
7. A Person or Persons Owning an Unusual Number of Felines: Witches never change. They love cats. But did you know that modern Wiccans cook cats with garlic and drink them in a stew? They also sacrifice cats and other animals with padded feet to their Dark Master, Satan. Be on the lookout for folks with too many cats!
8. Role Playing Video Games Like World of Warcraft: Our Christian children have been sharing Jesus with sinners in the World of Warcraft for the last few years! The shocking statistics are that over 75% of people who play role playing video games are Wiccans! Help Jesus save a soul before they get in the game!
9. Overzealousness in Regard to Halloween: The Devil’s Birthday is October 31st, and Wiccans prepare for the celebration throughout the entire month of October. They live to server their master, Lucifer, but will lie through their teeth about it, saying they don’t even believe in Satan and that he has nothing to do with Wicca. Don’t believe a word of this nonsense! As our Creation Scientists are fond of saying, “One doesn’t have to believe that human blood is red, to see that it is so!
10. Defecating or Urinating in Public - Especially Near a House of Christian Worship: Wiccans are sneaky, but we’ve caught up with them! We know how they mark their territory during the month of October. Two years ago in Alabama, a coven of enormously overweight Wiccans managed to poop out a giant pentagram over two square miles in just three days! The church they marked in the center of the Devil’s star was smacked down by Satan and went up in flames on Halloween night! Don’t let this happen in your community! Report these people to the authorities!

And now I feel so mature as I sit and read this blasphemy. I love how narrow minded creatures like you are over something that they fear. Bask in your righteous lies… Err, light of jesus chrisp…Christ. Sorry, bad typing problems. Anyway, Fear honesty and difference and remain hidden to the ways of the world. Where is you wonderful Lord when the world is being bombed and shot? Where is he when people are dying of plaques of rampant disease? Where is this almighty creator of sorts when the human race suffers? And, who the hell (pardon the expression), are you to persecute those who think for themselves or, unlike you in a general sense, think at all? I love and enjoy life without the fear of a hellish afterlife that your religion promises you should you slip out of line? In a closing arguement… I am not as childish as you, I think for myself, and I enjoy myself and the people around me… Even the ones as stupid as you.
E-mail me! I’d love to hear your lies spilling from your mouth. I love to get a laugh everday!
P.S. I enjoyed you posts! Especially that one with the ten reasons to hunt wiccans… Nice.

Might I first just say that I am not a Wiccan, I am a Catholic. So I should say that I believe everything that this Jerome dude is saying. I should say that, but I can’t because I don’t believe that he is right in any way, shape, or form. Catholics have been some of the most destructive people on the planet. One rarely ever hears anyhting derogetory about the Wiccan religion. And if you, Jerome, are a true Catholic, you would know not to persecute people for what they believe in. You can try to change them, but it does not in any way mean that they will or have to change. You have to leave it at that and leave it alone. One of the rights we have in America is freedom of religion. If you don’t like that than move. Do you believe in the saying WWJD (What Would Jesus Do)? I doubt he would be this cruel to a person for what they believe in. In the Middle Ages, random people were burned just because they had a birthmark that looked funny and were accused of being witches. Do you know who burned these “witches”? Catholics, Jerome. Who asked for your opinion on the Wiccan religion anyways? Have you had any experience with it? I think not.
Catholic? Isn’t that just a Jew that forgot to listen to Jesus Christ when he asked for not having organized religion? Oh wait, before you tell me about how Jesus was all about being Christian or Catholic, remember that he was a Jew and asked his pack of 12 to go and speak about his teachings. He destroyed the Jewish temple and got crucified by the romans for blasphemy, so Jesus might not be the fully happy religious follower.
As for WWJD, I have posted a couple articles about WWJB (first here and secondly here.)
Now onto the Wiccans. As a general set of people, they are not any worse than Muslims, Scientologists, Satanists, etc…
I’m always into reading books (or at least looking at the pictures) and noticed that there was a book about Satanism and Witchcraft which seems like an odd pairing, at first.
As for the people that burned witches from the colonies in the early 1600s’, those weren’t Wiccans. No theology can be found about Wiccans prior to the 1920’s. Gerald Gardner who was worried about the religion disappearing wrote a couple books in the 1950’s. The books helped to form the basis of Wicca’s growth from the 1960’s.
As for the Salem trials, there was a court of people with varying religions. Nice that you have to bring up the witch trials, I enjoy not being the only ignorant one in a conversation. Why not mention the German concentration camps? I’m sure that Wiccans didn’t sweat much over that instance. How many Wiccans were put to death in the concentration camps? Amazingly, the same number were killed in the concentration camps as the witch trials. Zero.
Stupid religious talk, where are the chest squishies?
this nigga is fat
[...] I took advantage and sold my IWM calls, making enough profit to half-way forget the last IWM trade that hurt. Overall I would have probably been better having just ignored the market all day instead of watching AAPL surge even higher, further from where I want it to go. I made a Christmas wish, next time I’ll speak to the spell casting Wiccas. [...]
I am wiccan and how do you enroll in this school?
iam a believer i do believe in wizardry i want to become 1
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ADOUT YOU HUYS AND YOUR SCHOOL IF YOU COULD EMAIL AT jdoglizno@yahoo.com.!
i want to know more thank adout the schools.
I think it is a great idea,because i think if children wan’t 2 go to this school than it should be the children’s desicion not the parents desicion.
pandora, I can see from your spelling and grammar that you were either homeschooled by hippies or your parents were never informed that the educational system is there to help everyone (even if they are following a cult).
Maybe it should be the desicion of the entire coven to decide what should happen with other people’s children. Like the
Salem witch trialsgood ole days, when people were allowed to decide thing among the masses instead of going to court to prove that your aunt is actually just insane and not capable of magical powers.I am Wiccan, Not a Witch but Wiccan. I believe in The male and Female in all things, reincarnation, nirvana, Magick, and Natures beauty. I was raised United Methodist, My father is a youth minister. We have spoken any times about the similarities between our two paths, and if you took the time to open your eyes and see the truth instead of what you think you’ll see you would find we are not that different at all. And by the way I am a High priestess and I did not have to send in any box tops. All that is required is 3 years and 3 days of intense study, leadership, and worship. your post offended me greatly but I am a firm supporter in the first amendment, So write on. I hope you will find the piece within your self that is so obviously lacking, Blessed Be To you and yours. You will be in my prayers to the moter and Lord.
