Founded by Scarlet in 1995, Montreal's own school of neo-Pagan study has undergone several incarnations. Today, after more than 10 years of evolution, Scarlet and her team of educators and facilitators are proud to present Crescent Moon School of Magic & Paganism as a subsidiary of Crescent Moon Spiritual Learning Centre..

Crescent Moon offers a broad program in studying cultures and pantheons, history of religions, and cultural magical techniques, all subjects which are of interest and value to the modern neo-Pagan practitioner. The goal of Crescent Moon School is to introduce people to a variety of magical paths and neo-Pagan religions. It does not teach a specific path, but rather aims at helping each student discover their own path and potential.

Currently, Crescent Moon offers a concise 4-level program. Level 1 is offered twice a year in September and February, and lasts approximately 18 weeks. Level 2 and 3 are offered once per year and last 25 weeks. Level 4 involves specialization, and thus is negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

The original vision of Crescent Moon School involved 9 levels with extended specialized programs. The school hopes to offer these in the future as it grows.
