When one thinks of European royalty scandals, it is generally Prince Harry (dressing as a Nazi) or Ernst August Prinz von Hannover (caught urinating in public) that comes to mind. But as Norway is demonstrating these days, its royal family can hold their own in the headline-generating department.
To whit: Princess Märtha Louise, fourth in line to the Norwegian throne, has generated a storm of criticism in the Scandinavian country for her plan to start a school that will teach people how to communicate with angels. (..)
She has also been blasted by politicians, prominent journalists and TV pastor Jan Hanvold who accused her of blasphemy and said that Märtha was "an emissary from hell." (..)
Dubbed by the Norwegian press as the "angel school," the princess' institution, named "Astarte Education" after "one of the oldest goddesses in the Middle East," offers a three-year program on communicating with angels, healing and hands-on treatment. The courses are scheduled to begin on August 22, with a weekend session in September devoted to helping participants "get into contact with the angels" and teaching students "how to create 'everyday miracles' in your own life."
The course of study -- slogan: "Use angels and your own power to create miracles in your life" -- costs 12,000 Norwegian crowns (€1,504) per semester.
"Angels, or light beings, are encountered in all religions," the Web site claims. "In our courses you will have the possibility to learn how to discover your inner source of truth and renew the natural contact you have with the angels and the divine Universe. The result will depend on your own approach and openness."
But even as the establishment continues to lampoon the princess, a trained physiotherapist who claims she is clairvoyant, her courses are reportedly already full.
Furthermore, a recent survey conducted by the newspaper VG found that fully 40 percent of Norwegians believe that some humans possess supernatural powers and that communication with angels is not outside the realm of possibility. (..)
