be the same. A mage witch and a shamanic witch, although both witches,
see magic very differently. Same for a wuxing mage and an islamic mage
- very different outlook on magic.

here isn't coming across correctly... Organizations have a collective
"belief" structure that binds them together... so your analogy isn't
*quite* correct. Now the Islamic Mage and the Wuxing Mage, *that* I
can't comment on...

Oops...my mistake. When I said view of magic, I was not referring to a
belief system. I mean how they see magic as working. A wiccan mage and
a wiccan shaman will have the same beliefs and may even view magic in
the same way (to an extent). They will, however, have big differences
going back to how mages see magic working and how shamans see magic
working. That's the big diff in that instance.
I mean, I agree with Gyro (I think it was) in that I'd like to have
different traditions being able to cast ritual spells together (hell, I
might even allow that in my games), but that isn't how it works in the
system.
There are inconsistencies with regards to traditions all over the
place, but for the purposes of ritual magic and other things that
differentiate on traditions (magic groups, for example), I think the
intention is as I described it previously.
Btw, Gyro, do you really think the back-to-nature Celtic Druid shamans
and the scumbag English Druid Mages who helped make England what it is
in SR days have more than a passing similarity in their world views and
how they view magic?
