− | The Line of Mary Wood traces itself back to the 19th century mage of that name from California, who started the magical school by instructing her children in magic. Today, the “family” is still under the control of Mary’s blood relations, although talented outsiders comprise most of the membership. Although Christian theology plays a role in the line’s study of magic, they have not required members to be Christian since 1946.
