“As there are several distinct kinds of Teutonic magick, so too are there several distinct kinds of Teutonic magicians.

The other two kinds of magicians in the narrower sense—those who seek not only to maintain or restore the sacred order of the universe but also to make changes in it in accordance with their own wills—are the practitioners of galster and seidhr ("say-ther").
