| - | I rely deeply on a knowledge of hermetic traditions, axioms, and theories. But not just that- the knowledge that those of other crafts have transmitted over thousands and thousands of years. Dances of druids, the formulae of the Unified Magic Theory, herbal willwork from the southern American witch, mathematical formulae of Pythagoras, and the black mass of the 19th century. I study them closely and endeavor to understand the threads of reality they pluck and pull. | + | I rely deeply on a knowledge of hermetic traditions, axioms, and theories.

| But not everyone shares this view. The schools of thought are numerous and there are many who view it as a science, or endeavor to build a structure for magic that all easily understood and shared by the awakened mass. I’ve met hermetic practitioners who believe the key to understanding the rules to reality is found in math. Some who believe we find all the answers in God. Some traditions are even shared between our kind and the shamanic way, though, their understanding of how and what they do may be very different. | But not everyone shares this view.

| - | Similar to Hermetic Druidism, the Teutonic Hermetic school leans heavily on Norse and Germanic mysticism enough to be classified as a seperate paradigm. They hold the theory of eternal ice, a cosmic force that is the natural opposite of mana. Something that encapsulates the Gaiasphere. They have some relationship to The Order of Thule, though I admit this is not an area I am well educated in. | + | Similar to Hermetic Druidism, the Teutonic Hermetic school leans heavily on Norse and Germanic mysticism enough to be classified as a seperate paradigm.
