'''Hedge Magic''' is a derogatory term used by [[magi]] to describe magic used by the many practitioners of magic in [[Mythic Europe]] that don't adhere to Bonisagus' magic theory. As such, it is similar in content to non-[[Hermetic]] magic, but 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".

In [[ArM5]], hedge magic is usually practiced by [[The Gift|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 [[House Ex Miscellenea|Ex Miscellenea]] chapter of [[Houses of Hermes: Societates]].
