  • That phrasing refers to a very broad set of movements and individuals. The usual core beliefs are:

    • Legislation in their jurisdiction and the government’s authority to enforce it is in some way defective.
    • People in their jurisdiction can opt out of laws and government, and live only under “natural law”.
    • People have to perform a set of legal procedures (spells, effectively) in order to achieve that.

    Exactly why and how law/government authority is defective, how they understand natural law, what the spells are that they have to cast - all of these are extremely variable both between jurisdictions and between individuals.
    Primarily it’s a set of grifters charging money for courses and materials to learn about these beliefs from whoever they can convince. Sometimes, as in Germany, it’s a group of neo-Nazis plotting to reinstate the Kaiser.
