About

Born October 27, 1943 in Dumas, Texas and died November 11, 2002 in Fort Worth, Texas, Pattalee was part of two Traditions in the region. Known as Lady Phoenix, she was an original initiate of the Isian tradition, which began in 1974, when a coven called the Star of the Gold Cross was formed by Margo Dana, a Wiccan High Priestess, and Robert Sy, a ceremonial magician who claimed training in The Foundation, a lodge in Houston. She was also a McFarland Dianic High Priestess, second circle out of Morgan McFarland through Carolyn. Although she passed both traditions on, her heart always belonged to Isis.

She started two retail stores in the Dallas/Fort Worth area; Flight of the Phoenix and Caravan. She founded "The Cauldron Council" for the Dallas/Fort Worth area Wiccan Elders. She was also one of the founders of CMA, the Council of the Magickal Arts. She founded Rountree, and through Rountree produced countless events, organizations, and benefits including: Celebration of Womanhood, Celebration of Summer, Celebration of Manhood, The Dallas Witches Ball, the Pen & Quill writers organization, the Annual Leadership Conference, Walk Softly For Mother Earth - an organization to raise funds for a land sanctuary to be used by Wiccans, and The Walk-A-Thon to benefit the Women's Shelter.--Adapted from the Find-A-Grave Memorial
