The aunts do know Jeff's deal; Misha does not, and has not known the whole time, but the quality of Jeff that drew Misha in... well.
I think there are no men in the circle because these women, in particular, have no reason to TRUST men. Especially not with the degree of secrecy involved in their circles. But yes, as they age, it does have a lot to do with keeping the elder status they feel they've EARNED. Their line is all male this generation; Misha is the lesser of all evils, and they NEED someone to step up and be in his position. And so he did, and because of the situation with Legion (and worse) Misha wasn't just a witch or a seer; he ended up an Oracle.
I do love the aunts, though, and I deeply want to write little stories about them and their trials and such.
