Joshua's Mage Resource | Character Creation | Traditions

Once, this Tradition consisted of many smaller mystick houses, micro-Traditions grouped together by a common ideology, honor code and magickal approach. To the Hermetics, magick, or 'the Art', was a quantifiable field of study, like science or grammer, with set rules of theorems and logics. With enough study and dedication, reality could be mastered through knowledge and skill.

The Order of Hermes loathes the Technocracy for it's role in the Order's "fall", and they carry the fight to all fronts. Through intellectual appeal, political and social control, and the New Age press, the Order hopes to undermine the Technocratic paradigm and bring the Wheel of Fortune back their way. Sadly, this effort has been undercut by the Tradition's insistence upon detailed ritual, secrecy and dedicated study. Few modern mystics have the time or patience to master the Hermetic Arts.

The Order of Hermes Tradition sphere is Forces, some of their common foci are: circles and sigil, languages and numbers, gems and jewelry, elaborate rituals, pentacles, formulae, ritual objects.
