There is no exhaustive list of the traditions within the House, and likely there never would be. Practically any hedge tradition can find a comfortable place within this variety. [[HoHS]] does, however, provide eight of the larger traditions, as well as right less-detailed (and presumably smaller) traditions. It further provides examples of converting the machanics to serve other traditions. The mentioned major traditions are:
* The [[Columbae]], masters of [[Wards|warding]] from Wales.
* The [[Donatores Requietis Aeternae]], a young tradition of magi with religous background and connections, mainly in the [[Normandy Tribunal]].
* The [[Cult of Orpheus]], a [[Mystery Cult]] within House Ex Miscellanea that draws on the ancient mysteries of [[Orpheus]] (although more on his deep connection to his beloved Eurydice than on his music).
* [[Pharmacopoeians]] are master herbalists and healers, employing [[Mythic Herbalism]].
* The [[Line of Pralix|Lineage of Pralix]], a tradition focused on the integration of exotic magi into the [[Order of Hermes]]. Note that it seems unlikely that this is truly one of the largest traditions within the House.
* [[Rustic Magi]] are folk-magicians that usually reside in rural communities. Note that there are "...few Rusticiani in the Order.. ", yet they are counted amongst the largest traditions of the House. 
* [[Hermetic Sahirs]] are Islamic wizards of Iberia.
* The [[Seirenes]] are magae that continue a form of lyrical magic that dates back to the sirens of legend.

In addition, the following (probably minor) traditions are mentioned:
* [[Beast Masters]], feral magicians that summon and control wild beasts. 
* [[Damhadh-Duidsan]], a lineage related to [Damhan-Allaidh]], the Gaelic archnemesis of the [[Order of Hermes|Order]], and detailed more in [[Realms of Power: The Infernal]].
* [[Hermetic Haruspexes]], diviners and seers (relying on [[Divination and Augury]] from [[The Mysteries Revised Editon]].
* [[Karaites]], a heretical Jewish sect whose magi utilize several [[Virtues and Flaws]] from [[Realms of Power: The Divine]].
* [[Malocchi]], an Italian tradition utilizing [[Entrancement]].
* [[Scinfolk]], [[Gifted Companion|Gifted Companions]] acting as herb-wives and faerie-doctors through the use of the [[Fertility]] virtue. Although common in [[Mythic Europe]], such hedge wizards may be rare in the Order.
* [[Tempestaria]], a tradition of Germanic weather-witches.
* [[Witches of Thessaly]], the former tradition of [[Trianoma]], it is related to the Infernally-tainted [[Daughters of Erichto]] as described in [[Realms of Power: The Infernal]].
* [[Koldun]], shamanic Slavic sorceres who have abandoned their role as ''volkhvy'' (pagan priests); these were extensively described in [[The Dragon and the Bear]] (the [[Fourth Edition]] sourcebook).
* [[Trollsynir]], Giant-descended wizards of Scandinavia and Iceland.
* The [[Corrguineach]], Irish wizards with great powers over elemental spirits.
* Breton bards with great powers of enchanting music.
* Roman necromancers that terrorize the locals.
