Primitive Magical Interest
#1
So Chris  is a member of the muggle organization HERMETIC ORDER OF THE GOLDEN DAWN and travels to London's Fleet street regularly, somewhat out of interest, but also to get a laugh out of muggles trying to do magic. She is a 'Practicus' of the order.  She thinks the muggle version is pretty ridiculous but she has a genteel interest in 'primitive' magic. 

Primitivism was a fashionable upperclass interest in the late 19th-early 20th century - as evidenced by groups like the Golden Dawn.  It was usually taken to be the sort of magical practice of the classical world, early celtic magical practice or non-English magical practice.

I want to let Chris explore this in the magical world - but in the sort of genteel colonial way that was apparently fashionable at the time. 

So what I would love are :

Hedge Witches/Wizards - proper 'primitive' practitioners

Other UC/Upper MC people with a similar interest to be part of a group like the Golden Dawn but actually magical and genteelly exploring primitive magic.

Alfred knows some tribal magic and would be highkey offended by any condescending attempts by comfortable rich folks to learn about it.

Also I've decided Oz has an interest in the occult (or will whenever I get around to doing something about it) so there actually could be some overlapping interests here... which ... Oz and Chris agreeing on anything is a bit strange, so I guess I'll just leave it at that.

I can see this as an academic rabbit hole that Anthea may find herself going down if she hasn't already. As her main field of interest is Experimental Charms the learning as much as she can about the how of magic is defineately something she loses herself in - so I can see her studying magics from different cultures, the past etc. as to understand aids in creation.
