Ceremonial magick, although often used and played up by charlatans, is normally used to attain a stronger connection with divinity and realize higher purposes and abilities. This encompasses many traditional rituals with a basis of Egyptian magick and often follows ceremonies found in the ancient Kabbalistic writings.

Deborean

A combination of Celtic and Native American traditions, most often Cherokee. Formed in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, the Carolinas and southwestern Virginia

Dianic

There are two separate types of the Dianic Craft that exist. One branch, founded in Texas by Morgan McFarland and Mark Roberts, worships the Goddess, but honors the Horned God as Her Beloved Consort. Covens include both women and men. This branch is sometimes called 'Old Dianic', and there are still covens of this tradition,many right here in my home state of Texas. The second type is frequently called "the Feminist Dianic" movement of the craft, this sect focuses on the Goddess & consists of women-only covens and groups. It was first brought to major attention in 1921 by Margaret Murray.

Druids

Modern Druidism, one of the Neo-pagan families of religion, includes Wicca, Asatru, Shamanism, & Witchcraft of the Norse, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman types. Contemporary Druidism is a reconstruction of the beliefs of the ancient Celtic priesthood. First known to exist in approximately 4,000 BCE, the ancient Druids, are believed to date back farther than any recorded history. Strong in their knowledge and wisdom, they concentrated on "The Belief in Supreme Power of the Universe, and the Belief of Immortality of the Soul, & kept all their knowledge "hidden" by "storing" it solely in their minds. No written documents were kept that we know of." Each one underwent a lengthy three phase scholastic, artisan, and spiritual training, which is mentioned in Romantic text to have been as long as 20 years.

The Gypsies, were one of the last active sustainers of Goddess-worship in Europe & many were ostracized for that reason among others. Most Europeans thought the gypsies hailed from Egypt, hence their name, "gypsy" was a shortened form of the word "Egyptians." Although kept hidden from non-gypsies, the people actually showed that they came from Hindu roots and held a strong belief in reincarnation and karma. A gypsy fortune teller or cartomancer was called a Vedacica, or reader of the Vedas. This comes from the Hindu beliefs.

The goddess of the gypsies was a trinity like so many others. Kali was her name & she was viewed as the same three sisters of Fate worshipped by many Pagans and Witches. It was said that she visited each newborn child in the form of three mystic ladies. & baptismal ceremonies included three offerings on the infant's bed, "one for each goddess of fate." The three divine Mothers were symbolized by a triangle, the Tantric Yogis' sacred Yoni Yantra, immemorial sigh of woman. The gypsy word for a fairy is rashani which actually means "priestess." One of the most common gypsy surnames was Faa: "Fay," or "Fairy." Gypsy lore was kept hidden for good reason for many centuries, as it was viewed as heresy by the Church, and even rumor or folk tales could turn into excuses for persecution. And whether we like it or not the prejudice against gypsies still exists today. During the times of Hitler, they were declared "subhumans," and along with Jews, Slavs and other "non-Aryans were slaughtered without conscience." Over 400,000 gypsies were killed in the German concentration camps. It may not be a "witch burning" but death this way is still murder.

Based on family traditions passed down from generation to generation. The traditions can be passed on to blood relatives or adopted offspring which have been raised within the family. They are generally trained by a family member and/or can trace their family history back to other Witches. Their beliefs are a mixture of many different things.
