I have no problems with the Exeter MA (though I can see where Chris is coming from with his comments). I think that what this exchange demonstrates is that whilst there are a number of suitable PhD supervisors in the general area, that there is a dearth of Masters level courses with a broad focus on magic. This was brought home just this afternoon by a student of mine asking if there was a suitable taught Masters where she could explore contemporary magic and neo-shamanism.
