The Academy of Mystic Arts
The "Academy for Mystic Arts" which sponsored this ad seems no longer to exist, although there are other, newer organizations with that name. The original Academy has left very few traces behind on the internet, although one lead seems to point to a connection with the famed astrologer named Zolar.
I love the testimony at the end about how relations with the boyfriend have improved. Well, of course they have--you put a zombie spell on him!

You need to read that bit about the boy friend a bit better, Paul. Seems like it's BS! And, anyhow, a black AND white cat, no hat, broom or cauldron?

Expat47--what do you want, for a mail-order witch license?!?

Paul, truth in zapping!

I believe this ad may have appeared in George Romeros film Season of the Witch.

Paul T--a much more likely explanation!
Posted by Paul on 10/27 at 08:42 AM
RevJSH--that's a cool connection!
Posted by Paul on 10/27 at 08:42 AM
Paul- Yeah, but a very bad film, even for a Romero buff like me.

This destroys all my myths about witches. She's hot. Where's her wart and her crooked nose? Where's the straggly, grey hair? And she has a beautiful pussy...I'm talking about the cat!

Oh no, all my secrets have been revealed!

It isn't the ageless teachings of the Rosicrucians, and doesn't Dr. Fate have an adjunct professorship there?

"I like you to know that I got a job the next day after I wrote you." -- presumably not as a proofreader.

Become a "witch" and learn "mysteries", "use" ESP and self-"healing". Your "money" will be "refunded" if you aren't "satisfied" in any way.

Note the initials on the last testimonial . . . B.S. Of course we know what that stands for . . .

I forgot to say, the cat is turned magically into a hunk of a man, who says, "Now aren't you sorry you had me fixed?"

Coat Hanger: I noticed you are from Witch-ita. Most appropriate.

This sounds an awful like Bedknobs and Broomsticks correspondence witchcraft course.
