The University of Notre Dame is selling tarot cards that can be used for divinatory purposes and witchcraft guides that teach readers magic spells. The products are being sold in its bookstore, which is newly under the management of Barnes & Noble.

The tarot cards and witchcraft guides sold by Notre Dame include Beginner’s Guide to Tarot; The Black Arts: A Concise History of Witchcraft Demonology, Astrology, Alchemy, and Other Mystical Practices Throughout the Ages; Mood Magick: Wellness Spells and Rituals to Find Balance in an Uncertain World; and Witchcraft Therapy: Your Guide to Banishing Bulls**t and Invoking Your Inner Power.

When the university’s Catholic student newspaper inquired with the bookstore about why these products were being sold, its trade operations manager, Colleen Jones, retorted: “Don’t we teach all religions?”

She continued, “We are an academic university that looks at things from every side so that students can know the whole picture to try to make a conscious decision. Some of the books that we teach are also some of the books that might be offensive, but you have to expose people to things to let them know about them.”

Not everyone was sold on that explanation.
