The initial group of people in Keepers had worked with and/or attended workshops and rituals from a broad range of traditions including: Gardnerian and Alexandrian Wicca, Witchcraft of the Keepers of the Ancient Mysteries (KAM) style, the Sabian Society, Sun Bear’s teachings, Patricia Hayes’ teachings, Masonry, and the Golden Dawn system as described by Regardie.
