Year Seven of Ancient Studies takes us once again across an ocean - this time the Pacific, to Asia and Oceania. Our studies will focus on familiar civilizations such as the Japanese, Chinese, Indian, and Australian Aborigine, as well as the lesser known - but equally fascinating - cultures of the Maori and Rapa Nui. These civilizations all have a history interwoven with magical practice and beliefs, and will round out our discussions on the major civilizations of the planet.
