[1] Founded Circle of the Great Oak Coven in The American Tradition of the Craft with High Priestess Mireth in Hawkins, Texas, later in Big Sandy and Tyler, Texas (East Texas area). Downline Third Degree initiates include Branwen (later of the Georgian Tradition) and Morhdrona—the last High Priestess of Great Oak (later of the Gardnerian and New York WICA Traditions). Some Great Oak members joined their worship with solitaires in Bedford, Texas, and the name of the new practice in the DFW area became the American Tradition of the Goddess (a different Wiccan tradition). This webpage was created in honor of the Donjon of Moonrose and The American Tradition of the Craft.
