Hedge Magic
Hedge Magic is a derogatory term used by magi for the many forms of non-Hermetic magic practiced in Mythic Europe. As such, it usually refers to petty and weak magical folk traditions. A magus likely to scoff at a skinchanger's magic, calling her a hedge wizard, but is unlikely to refer to the ancient and long-lost magic of Solomon as "hedge magic".
A practitioner of hedge magic is called a hedge wizard. or hedge magician. He or she is never referred to as a magus -- that term is reserved for members of the Order of Hermes.
In ArM5, hedge magic is usually practiced by Gifted practitioners that have not been trained in Hermetic ways, whether they are members of the Order or not. Their magic usually relies on one or more Supernatural Abilities. Such magic is discussed in the Ex Miscellanea chapter of Houses of Hermes: Societates.
