Hedge Magic
The roots of hedge magic are uncertain; it might be the oldest kind of magic, taught directly by spirits, fairies or gods, or it might be a debased form or some other magic tradition. Most likely, it is a mixture of these forms, developed into something quite separate. It is generally considered chaotic and primitive, and often persecuted by the forces of "progress". Hedge magicians are often called witches, which is right or wrong depending on what you think of witches. Some hedge magic is sorcery fueled by superstition; the superstition on the sorcerer, and the superstition of people in the world. In this form it is an unlearned, unrefined type of magic, that can survive great amounts of persecution simply because it requires little formal education. There also exists a more refined form of hedge magic, a form of nature worship that refuses to bargain with the forces of "progress" or technology. Some hedge magicians turn to the powers of chaos - the forcers arrayed the forces of oppression and civilization - and become infernalists. This turns the hate of your enemies into your source of power, but in turn fuels their bigotry even further. Examples and ReferencesClassic horror B-movies, like The Warlock. Pop-culture Wicca.
