Circle of the Serpent

Who are the Serpents?
Circle of the Serpent is a Wiccan coven established in 1999. We are a part of the American Tradition of the Goddess, also known as AmTrad, which began in Bedford, Texas, in the mid 1980’s. We teach earth magic and live our craft in thought, word, and deed. We honor the Triple Goddess (Maiden, Mother, Crone) and the Triple God (Hunter, Father, Sage). We follow the cycles of nature and celebrate them throughout the wheel of the year. We explore the myths and stories of many cultures throughout the world as well as assist our members in their individual spiritual growth. Our coven is a connection with the deities and the other members of the circle, a ministerial training ground and a place of growing for the souls who join us.
The High Priestess is Gaelen Ananat. She circled out of the mother coven, Circle of the Moon in 1999. A little bit about the High Priestess: She has been walking the Wiccan path since 1991. She wandered the path quite a while before finding home in Amtrad and in the McFarland Dianic traditions. She is an active High Priestess in these two traditions as well as an initiate in the Isian and a Celtic tradition. She is an Aquarian with Cancer rising who loves good conversations and loves to nurture things, so challenging her initiates’ minds is one of her favorite hobbies.
The covenstead is located in Haltom City, Texas. This coven is an active part of the Texas Local Council of The Covenant of the Goddess. Along with the celebration of the sabbats, as well as the new and the full moons, female initiates explore the female mysteries, which are better known to us as Blood Moons. Our male initiates explore the male mysteries or Stag Moons. The serpents are also active with different local events each year. We do a large, but private, Mabon event and Amy Martin’s Winter Solstice where we are the Kitchen Witch crew. Although we are active in the local community, initiates of the coven can easily maintain the level of privacy needed in their lives.
If you choose to be a part of a coven, be sure to ask a lot of questions first. Be sure to visit the “Seekers’ Bill of Rights”. To be part of a coven is to be part of not just a spiritual, but a very real family. You are also in a priest/ess training ground where one learns to teach and become a minister of this faith as well as a consciousness raising and intellectually stimulating and challenging group, just to name a few things that a coven is to its initiates. Gaelen takes a few students, who are seeking entry into this teaching coven, each June. Classes are held on Sundays and are typically every two weeks. Students are able to attend the coven's full moons and sabbats after attending the Ethics and Etiquette class.
