Term: western tradition
| DEFINITIONS |
Western Tradition: Also described as the Western Mystery Tradition or the Western Magickal Tradition.

Although groups such as The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, The Aurum Solis, and The Ordo Templi Orientis have many different practices and beliefs, they have many underlying similarities, making them all part of the Western Tradition.Donald Michael Kraig
