Sediacek: All have
witchcraft potential
by H. J. Cummins
Imagine the newly-found
powers of a deaf person who
suddenly discovers an ability to
hear.
Or the expanded potential
of an infant who discovers his
or her legs and uses them to
roll over.
Both of these are analogous
to the untapped potential for
witchcraft within everybody,
according to Jud Sediacek, a
fifth year senior at the
University and delver into the
''art and science of
witchcraft."
Basically, the geology
student explained, there is
power within everyone that,
once discovered and trained,
can be used however the
"power source" person wishes.
"If you need money, you
can use your power to get it; or
you can kill someone, give
peace to a troubled mind, heal
the sick, foretell the future, or
anything you like," Sediacek
said.
"It's all a type of
electromagnetic energy," she
continued, adding that studies
are now being done on it at the
University of Florida in
Orlando.
To exercise the power to
heal, Sediacek explained a
power source must first look at

a sick person, imagine ine
diseased tissue well, and then
electromagnetically rearrange
the tissue to be as the source
imagined it.
listimating that there are
enough "witches" and
"wizzards" on campus to
organize a coven (which takes
12 and a leader), Sediacek
said, "there is somebody from
every field around here."
She said she believes "magic
is magic" hut explained magic's
usual subdivisions include
white magic, black magic, the
Wicca Craft (Celtic for "The
Craft of Wisdom") and the
Satanic Church or "sex magic."
Sediacek said she considers
white magic "kitchen magic"
because it basically consists of
herb cures, and "household"
concoctions easily executed by
almost anyone.
Black magic, she said, has
traditionally been defined as
that which "society sees as not
quite acceptable."
Witches and wizzards of the
Wicca Craft, perform much like
those in white magic but differ
in that they have a mother
goddess, Diana the moon, and
consider themselves "very
much a religion," Sediacek
said.
The Satanic Church, or
"sex magic," she said, "seeks
to use sex forces, love, and lust
in order to generate enough
force to get spells to work."
These distinctions, and
some "psychic phenomena"
including astral projection,
meditation, and in-depth study
of witchcraft will be covered in
a Free University course,
"Magic and Witchcraft,"
according to the course
instructor, Bob Jones.
Jones, also a University
student, describes meditation
as finding your spirit, "which
has always existed and will
always exist," and using it to
explore "many different

in in ii i a
thought nlanes.'
This is done, he continued,
by meditating on a symbol,
then expanding its meaning
until you can associate it with
many other things.
Astral projection is much
like a dream of the future,
Jones said, except dreams
"may or may not be fantasy"
and "always come to you,"
while astral projection . is a
definite look into the future
and "you must go to the
vision."
Both Jones and Sediacek
said they, as power sources,
draw many spirits.
But Jones defined magic as
"the art and science of causing
change to occur in conformity
with the will," and Sediacek
complained that a more
empirical definition is now
possible and should be used.
"I like a nice hard
science," she said, adding she
believes sociology and
psychology "aren't that
empirical."
She contended that
"palmistry is statistics" and
just as valid as any theories in
the human sciences since, like
them, "there is a body of
knowledge behind it."
The two also differ in their
opinion of religion, Jones
seeing it as "a basic
misunderstanding, an
oversimplification that puts all
good at one extreme, a god,
and all bad at the other in a
devil."
Sediacek sees magic as very
close to Christianity in that
both of them "seek to
communicate with a higher
being."
"The Catholic Mass is
actually a magical ritual, calling
upon the Son of God, a great
magician, to come down and
meditate between you and the
mighty power, his father," she
said. "People want to talk to
people on the 'other side'
(dead) to ask the spirits what
they (the living) should do to
get happlily to the 'other
side'."
But Jones warned that
there are dangers in using
witchcraft. "Calling out the
powers in oneself can be
good," he said, "but you car,
really get burned if you don't
know what you're doing, or
you use your powers
unwisely."

ROTC department
extends enrollment
The period for adding a
freshman course in Army and
Air Force ROTC has been
extended through September
30, according to spokesmen for
those departments. Knrollment
in ROTC will enable the
student to be draft deferred,
they said.
Fnrollment in the beginning
Military Science and Aerospace
Science courses can be
accomplished with the use of a
standard UNL drop and add
form. The form must include
the signatures of a member of
the Military or Aerospace
Science faculty, the College
Dean and the student's Faculty
Advisor.
Maj. Richard C. Skaggs
noted that enrollment in the
Army ROTC' freshman and
sophomore courses incurs no
obligation. A cadet in the
advanced program receives a
subsistence allowance of $50
per month during I'.ie junior
and senior years.
Army ROTC graduates must
fulfull a combined active duty
and reserve obligation of six
years.
(ierald Nutting, Asst.
Professor of Aerospace Studies,
said the Air Force ROTC'
program is similar to that of
the Army. He indicated that
pending legislation would
increase the amount of
scholarship money and would
raise the allowance from $50
to $100, although the
allowance period would be cut
from 1 2 to 1 0 months.
Capt. Herschel A. I'ahl,
chairman of the department of
Naval Science indicated that
Navy ROTC has not extended
the course add period.
He said the same rules
which apply to the rest of the
University apply to the Dept.
of Naval Science. He said,
however, students can apply
for the program next fall, when
they will be screened.
I'alil said normal procedure
is for the student to get into
the program at the beginning
of his freshman year. A few
enroll at the start of the
sophomore year if they are
enrolled in a five-year program
in the University.
The Navy program differs
from the Army and Air Force
ROTC programs in that in
necessitates the student
spending four years in the
program.
