About

The need for writing and reading literacy followed the invention of writing by the Sumerians c. 3500-3000 BCE as a means of long-distance communication in trade. The goddess Nissaba was considered by her followers to be the written word, language, literacy, communication and learning. Schools and sanctuaries, existing across Mesopotamia from c. 2000 BCE to c. 1750 BCE, were established in her name with attached libraries and scribal houses. Somewhere around 1690 BCE the Nissaba School of Sorcery was founded to educate magical folk in the arts of both writing and magic in honor of the goddess Nissaba.

Today, the Nissaba School of Sorcery is preparing to embrace 21st-century technology with an enlightened effort to develop the digital literacy skills needed in today's modern digital world.
