Mystic Star Coven is a practicing, teaching and training Coven in Louisville, Kentucky.We were founded in 2005, by our High Priest, and practiced together until 2008. In 2008, we went on hiatus due to various life issues among the Membership. In early 2014, the High Priest re-opened Mystic Star for it’s second incarnation. In 2026 our High Priest left his mortal body and we continue his legacy in his memory.Mystic Star practices what we call, “Feycraft Wicca.”Feycraft is an amalgamation of two different Traditions, and was begun in the 1980’s by the High Priest’s Initiator. Our High Priest learned Feycraft from his Initiator throughout the first half of the 1990’s.Today, Mystic Star boasts a good amount of training material and exercises for Dedicants (newcomers to the Coven) that is specifically relevant to Feycraft Wicca.Our vision is to reignite humanity’s relationship with the Land, and we work towards that through our mission, which is to obliterate the status quo of yesteryear’s infighting, prejudice, and immaturity that was part and parcel of the then-current Pagan community. We do this by producing happy, well-adjusted Members of Feycraft Wicca who are consistently progressing in their Craft, and who go out into the community and work with compassion in whatever field or endeavor they’re involved in.MSC is an incorporated non-profit in the state of Kentucky. We have been recognized as a tax-exempt non-profit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. (Please note that, while we are recognized by the IRS as a church, we do not operate like a Christian church operates because we aren’t Christian – we do have Membership requirements and an application process. We don’t do “drop-ins” or rituals open to the public – at least not yet.)

We do not keep a male/female ratio in our Coven. There is no need. Our Tradition emphasizes the ecstatic link with the Divine, the feeling of Oneness with Spirit/Universe. A good Witch can work with any energy, regardless of how that energy may be perceived. Likewise, we do not require a High Priest and High Priestess. Coven Leaders can be a single person or a couple of any gender identity.While we view The Rede as good advice (the word "rede" is literally defined as "advice"), we do not hold to it as a hard and fast law. We follow a Warrior's Ethic.

It doesn't happen as often as we'd like, but sometimes, Mystic Star Coven will have a Pagan Dinner Out, a field trip of some kind, or perhaps meet up in the park for a picnic or potluck. In that case, it's good to be in the know if you want to come out and meet us!Fill in the information below and hit "Subscribe." Don't forget to check the checkbox. You won't receive an email confirmation, but a new tab or window will up to confirm that you've been added to our list.Thanks for joining us!

Our vision is to help humanity reignite it's relationship to the Land. Our desire is that humanity renew it's right place working alongside, and in conjuction with, Nature instead of treating it like an unlimited resource to be exploited for profit. We believe our Animal, Plant and Mineral Kin deserve better. By extension, so do we. There are some problems in life that can only be fixed by a right relationship with the Land.

What makes the accomplishment of the Vision difficult is division (de-visioning) - humans losing sight of our relationship to one another, forgetting that we are intertwined and that we're really all One. By producing well-adjusted, growth-minded Witches, the Feycraft Tradition, and Mystic Star Coven, aim to abolish the infighting and prejudices ("You're not a REAL WICCAN!") of the Pagans of yesteryear. It's time we all come together and realize what needs to be done - especially in today's political climate.

As a result of our viewpoints and the way we express our Spirituality, it should be noted that Mystic Star Coven does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender or gender identity, sex, sexual preference or orientation, social or financial status. We also don't discriminate based on age, provided that you're 21 years of age or older (of legal age for the consumption of alcohol).

Gathering together to work in conjunction and compassion with the local environmental ecosystem to preserve, renew and revere Nature as Deity (also called “animism”) has been part and parcel of what Mystic Star Coven and the Feycraft Tradition have worked towards since our inception. As such, we have adopted the following "statement of faith" as our Spiritual Guiding Principles:

I. Wildness
To live in nature and in tune with nature, both as it exists freely and as it is planted or created for the purposes of sustainable agriculture/permaculture; Animal People, Plant People and Mineral People, and some Human People, are in tune with Nature as Deity in this way now.II. Faerie
Relating to arts and crafts as expressions of humanity’s truly spontaneous, genius of creation; when humanity applies arts, crafts and symbolic vocabulary to seasonal celebrations, we get a combination of spontaneity and structure that celebrates Nature as Deity and helps humanity reignite its connection to the Land.III. Magic
That which is possible beyond causality as we know it and what Carl Jung has called “a casual synchronicity;” magic, spellcraft, prayer and energy work are included here; the inner and outer natures of each human being coalesces and allows the full spectrum of Love to become more real and more Alive.IV. Divinity
Meaning a multitude of divine aspects rather than the single god-father image of monotheistic religions.V. Polytheism and Pantheism
The Great Ancient Providence exploded out into 6 deities of different ages, both one and yet separate from each other, with the Major Deities being the Universe, the many worlds in the Universe and the intertwining of Spirit with Matter.VI. Paradise
A sanctuary where people can live a simpler, but sustainable (and restorative) way of life, intended to replace the violent civilization of the commonplace world with the peaceful, loving, community experience of living in Nature and in tune with Nature, expressing ourselves in the same Divine Ways that She expresses Herself.VII. Queendom of Trees
Living by and among the great trees; reforestation and preservation of existing trees is of prime importance.VIII. Community is Freedom to Love
Fulfillment and enjoyment without fear of judgment or retribution; sanctuaries where we live in tune with Nature become wellsprings of the energy of Love and Creativity; sex is not just for reproduction, but also for enjoyment, and not restricting ourselves to a single pattern of relationship allows us to psychologically break free of most of modern society’s indoctrination; creativity, love and sexual ecstasy are not restricted to heteronormativity.IX. Education for Wildness and Love
Re-educating humanity to reclaim its heritage of living in tune with Nature as Deity will take an unprecedented reorientation of education; the promise of passion, compassion and reigniting ones connection to Nature as Deity can only happen if all adults are allowed to participate fully in a community of educated sexuality, wherein all forms of sensuality are dignified and nothing except cruelty and emotional sterility are censured; in this way, only that which is detrimental from modern society will slough itself off into the garbage.

Many people write to us about what we expect from Dedicants (students) and incoming Members of the Coven. The following is a brief list of what we mostly consider to be the kind of person suited for the Work of Feycraft.Mostly Animist. Or willing to get there. Prospective Initiates must be willing to set aside the usual beliefs of western culture. As a basic foundation of our Faith, we are animists. This is essential to the effective practice of Feycraft Wicca. Spirits, deities, etc, are not psychological constructs to help you feel better. It takes work to fully accept this as truth because our western culture has taught us that everything is a figment of our imaginations. The Spirits, Deities and Ancestors are literal Spirit Beings.Highly committed. Prospective Initiates must be willing to make Coven activities a high priority. It takes time and commitment to make it through the Core Classes, and then when that’s over, you still have to participate in regular Coven life. We become a chosen family. Participation by every individual is of high importance. This isn’t a free-for-all where you can come and go as you please – everyone’s presence is important to the flow of ritual and the cohesion of the egregore.Not fake. Prospective Initiates must be real people. You must be willing to drop the societal masks. We are not prone to being “fake” with one another. While we recognize that a facade is sometimes necessary to properly exist in modern western society, we cast that facade aside when we are with one another.Somewhat stable. Prospective Initiates should have their mundane lives in somewhat decent shape, or at least pursuing that as a goal. You don’t have to be independently wealthy or plan to stay at your current job forever. You should be doing your best for you, for now. None of us are perfect people, but we try to be reasonably stable, so have some form of income (preferably steady/regular), pay your bills as best you can, and have reliable transportation to and from meetings. As long as you have made peace with where you’re at and refuse to become stagnant, this should not be a difficult requirement to meet. Poverty and spirituality do not make good bedfellows (in other words: you don’t have to be financially poor to be spiritual, like some religions teach).Hopefully enjoys camping. Prospective Initiates should realize, before even applying, that we camp. At least twice throughout the year (and occasionally more) the Coven goes on a camping excursion. These are not optional. On these camping trips, you may have to live without the internet and your devices for a few days. We attend the Beltaine festival at Our Haven Nature Sanctuary every year, and we use this as our Annual Spiritual Retreat – its a wonderful way to help Members bond on a spiritual and emotional level. There are showers; we set up our own bathroom nearby for just the Coven; they sometimes have food on the grounds, but we stay self-sufficient; there is spotty data signal and sometimes the Wi-Fi at the Pavilion drops off so there’s no way to reach someone back home. Our other big camping excursion (when we have the opportunity to do it) is a frivolous ritual celebration of goofballery and chocolate.We're WOKE, and you should be, too. Prospective Initiates should realize that we have a zero tolerance policy against bullying, harassment, hate speech, racism, misogyny, misandry, and any sort of activity or speech that appears to be anti-LGBTQIA+. We will not tolerate it. Black lives matter, women’s rights are human rights (including the right to quality medical care, which, yes, includes termination of a non-viable or unwanted fetus), no human is illegal, science is real, love is love, representation matters, and kindness is everything.

Coven Council of MSC has a full-fledged, step-by-step process that we go through every time we take Applicants for Dedicant Status. We only take new Dedicants in years ending in odd numbers, provided the space is available. You can read all about that in the Membership Policies section of the MSC Policies Handbook under "How We Operate."Once your application has been reviewed, you’ll be sent an email with either (a) an invite to the Meet And Greet at a public place of our choosing, or (b) a notice that your application was not accepted. If, and only if, you attend one of the two Meet And Greets, we’ll consider you for Core Classes (i.e., Dedicant status).After the Meet And Greet, Coven Council will meet to discuss your application, how the Meet And Greet went, and how we perceived your energies. We have 14 business days after the second Meet And Greet to review and discuss applications. Once we’ve done that, we’ll send you an email with either (a) a notification that you’ve been accepted into the Coven as a Dedicant, with information about when and where to attend Orientation, or (b) a notification that we are not a good fit for you at this time.We do not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, gender or gender identity, sexual orientaiton or preference, financial status, or social status. We do ask that you be 21 years of age or older, as Ritual and some social gatherings include alcohol.

Please don’t email us asking questions like, Where do I stand otn this list? or What’s my status? or When will I know if I’m accepted? Any email asking those questions will be ignored. When you sign up for the Waiting List, you’re not signing up for membership, you’re signing up to be notified that you can apply.This is a waiting list for you to be notified when the Application becomes available. You are one of hundreds of people who are waiting to fill out an application to join us. At last count (which was the end of January, 2025), there were over 290 people waiting to fill out the application. So, we can’t answer questions of that nature. You’ll have to fill out the application when it’s made available and await a response from Coven Council. We simply don't have time to respond to every email we get asking these questions.You have to go through the same Application Process (above) that everyone else does, and that means that FIRST, you have to be on the Waiting List. You can get on the Waiting List below.

We desire to serve more than to be served - “if service is beneath you, leadership is beyond you.”

Mystic Star Coven hereby decrees, and declares that these Principles are part of the root of our practice as a Coven of Feycraft Wicca, and agrees to uphold them as part of our Faith. Some may call these ideas “Doctrine.”Ours is an oathbound, initiatory, mystery tradition. We have vetted lineage from two different Traditions, which are, together, the foundation of Feycraft as taught in the 1980’s and 1990’s.Feycraft Wicca is a mystery tradition and can only be entered into by means of a Traditional Initiation performed by a Third Degree Priest or Priestess.Autonomy is important to us as a Tradition, so we do not recognize a central authority on Feycraft Wicca. However, there is a core lore (or a core set of teachings, and beliefs) that is taught, and passed on in order for a Coven to be a Feycraft Coven. This is how we know whether a group claiming to be Feycraft Tradition really is, or isn’t.We will not divulge the names of our Initiators or the names of our Students to anyone outside of Feycraft. This applies to both legal identities, and Craft identities. Anyone, Student or otherwise, may reveal their own legal or Craft identity if they choose to do so.We are oathed to defend, protect, and preserve our Craft siblings/family, as well as the Tradition itself.Feycraft is experiential. The Tradition can be taught in a limited fashion, but the Mysteries must be experienced, as they cannot be expressed in word.Our liturgy, and the lore specific thereto, are not intended for mass consumption – nor should it be, because some may consider it “dangerous.” Only Initiates can teach the tradition and only Third Degrees may Initiate others. However, we do not claim to be “the only one right way,” as Wicca, and Paganism have a varied, and diverse set of beliefs, and practices. We honor all positive paths to the Divine.We prefer to work in small groups called “Covens.” Direct contact between Teacher, and Student are essential, and requisite to passing on the Tradition. It cannot be taught online, nor can anyone be Initiated online. The Internet is a tool for communication, but definitely not a tool for Initiation.When we teach Feycraft, we do so intending that our Students will Initiate. (But there is no guarantee that every Student will gain Initiation.)We do not proselytize. Coercing or baiting or forcing people into our Faith is strictly prohibited. Individual Covens may advertise that they are taking on new Students, but no one is cajoled into becoming a part of Feycraft.We do not charge in money or goods for teaching Feycraft, or for Initiation into Feycraft. We do have a “pool” from which to pull for Coven expenses, which is funded by offerings/donations given by Coven Members. However, Membership in Coven is not based on whether one is able to contribute to this pool.Commercial services (like reading the Tarot for friends, family or clients) are not within the purview of our Faith – meaning: though related in some ways to the practice of our Faith, these services do not (and are not intended to) lead to Initiation into the Tradition; thus, these do not fall under the rule of not charging in money or goods.In short: we don’t tell, we don’t sell, we don’t coerce, and we don’t teach, train or Initiate those who would; but if you’re sincere, and sincerely ready, we will teach you (in person) and bring you into the Old Faith.But know, too, that those who are not ready, or not willing, to do the Work, soon find other things with which to engage their time, and energy. This can even sometimes apply to those who have already been a part of Feycraft for some time. Readiness and willingness are dynamic, and may change over time.

East | Air | The WandPillar: Internal Truth and Ethical ChoiceThe East is the beginning, the place of sunrise. It represents the mind, knowledge, decisions, discernment, and knowledge. It is the Wand of Intent. In the Warrior’s Ethic of Feycraft, Air represents clarity, which is required to make choices from an ethical standpoint. We choose an internal ethical code over rigid, externally-imposed morality in someone's rule book. Decisions are usually "gray" in the real world and rarely easy; sometimes, we have to choose the least harmful path among multiple options, knowing that any action has a consequence. We use the Wand to navigate the winds of choice with discernment, and accept that sovereignty means the decision, and whatever consequence it carries, is ours alone.

South | Fire | The AthamePillar: Absolute Accountability and the SwordThe South is power at it's peak; it's high noon. It represents passion, desire, and purification. Fire doesn' apologize for the heat it carries, it simply is. The pillar of Absolute Accountability means that, when we draw the blade of our will to make a change in the world, we own it completely. We don't say things like, "everything happens for a reason" (even if it does). We don't have the option to hide behind "It's God's will," or the idea of "destiny," or "my Spirit Guides ..." to escape the consequences of our actions. Like the Athame, we are tempered by the fires of our experiences, standing by our results with honor, regardless of the outcome. This is also the place of shadow-integration, as the light of the fire casts the shadow; a warrior doesn't suppress the "darker" side, but harnesses it; it's the recognition that controlled anger is fuel for justice. It sets a boundary, and it's the part of us that knows that if that boundary is crossed, the fire bites back.

West | Water | The CupPillar: Self-Sovereignty and PreservationThe West is the place of dusk, intuition, emotion. It's represented by the Cup of Life, the chalice. It reminds us that we cannot pour from an empty cup. Self-sovereignty is the act of guarding our own wellspring. To be of use to the Coven or the community, we must prioritize our own well-being, ensuring our emotional and spiritual depths are replenished. This is not "self-care," in the vein of pampering and bed-rotting, this strategic self-maintenance so that we can be of service. A warrior who is drained is a liability. We drink first from our own cup so that our service to others comes from a place of love, energy and compassion, not a desperate sacrifice.

North | Earth | The PentaclePillar: The Duty of CompetenceThe North is the place of night, the Mountain that rises high into the night sky, the Earth. It's tool is the Penctalce, the anchor where the spiritual meets the physical. This is the place of Manifested Power: being a force, not a victim. It is our duty to be competent across all parts of our being: emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. We train with our daily practice so that we are capable of actually winning whatever battles we choose to fight (which we choose wisely, in the place of Air). The Pentacle reminds us that "meaning well" is not enough; we must have the grounding and the skill to make our will a physical reality in the world. This is the place of skill; there's an old adage that says, "It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war." Meaning: we choose to remain peaceful, but we are capable of fierce battle should the gates of our garden be attacked.

What is the Feycraft Tradition and how does it differ from other forms of Wicca?Feycraft is a nature-centric path that emphasizes our relationship to the Land. While we celebrate the typical eight Sabbats, Feycraft focuses primarily on the spiritual, ecstatic oneness with the Divine (Spirit/Universe/Source) through Nature and our relationship with the Land. While it shares some roots with traditional Wicca, it focuses more on a Warrior's Ethic rather than the Rede.

Is Mystic Star Coven a traditional Gardnerian or Alexandrian coven?No. Mystic Star Coven practices the Feycraft Tradition, which is an animal of it's own.

What is the significance of the 9 Principles of the Wild Faith in your practice?The 9 Principles of the Wild Faith is a set of general guidelines - a "statement of faith," if you will - that we strive to embody in our daily lives as best as posssible. The goal is to develop a deep, eco-spirituality that brings us back into right relationship with the Land, as opposed to believing that we have power over Nature to exploit for profit.

Do I have to be 21 to join the Coven or attend events?To become a Member of the Coven, we ask that you be 21 years of age or older because we use alcohol in a ritual setting, as well as at social gatherings of the Coven. As a guest at a public or open event where MSC is in charge, you are not required to be 21 years of age or older. However, in such a case, we require guests to refrain from consuming alcohol if they are not of legal age to do so.

Is the Coven LGBTQIA+ affirmative?MOST DEFINITELY. As stated elsewhere on the site, we're WOKE, and you should be, too! It is a curious fact that those drawn to the current of power behind Feycraft, and thus to the Tradition itself, quite often are part of the Queer community. If there are heterosexual or sexually "vanilla" folx taking part in Feycraft, it's a virtual guarantee that they're also woke and are staunch allies to the community.

What does the waiting list process look like for prospective Dedicants (students)?You can join the Waiting List at any time on our Application / Waiting List page. However, once you sign up for that, you won't receive any emails from us until we're able to take on new Dedicants. That means it could be next year (any year ending in an odd number), or a few years down the line. There are people who sign up to the Waiting List, forget about it, and then when we notify them that the Application is available, they immediately unsubscribe. Usually, this is because they've moved too far away, or they've found another group since signing up, or circumstances have otherwise changed for them. That's fine, no judgement from us. Just know that, depending on whether space is available (our Coven chamber/temple isn't very big), we may or may not open Applications for new Dedicants in any given year.

How often does the Coven meet for ritual and study?Members of the Coven meet on the first and third Sundays of every week for ritual, study, business meetings of Coven Council, etc. We have a fairly well-laid-out schedule that we re-vamp yearly during the first business meeting of the year. When there are new Dedicants in the Coven taking Core Classes, the whole Coven participates as a refresher on "the basics." Also, having the more seasoned members of Coven present allows for more perspective on questions the Dedicant may have about the practices and Work of Feycraft.

Are there fees or dues associated with Membership or classes?The short answer is, "No." We do not charge for anything we do that is meant to lead to Initiation into Feycraft. However, because of the expenses that we incur (web hosting, web domain, ritual supplies, annual state filing fee to maintain our incorporated status, etc.), we do request a monthly donation of $10 to cover them. Our High Priest used to cover these expenses, but as a legally recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit, it is up to us to cover these expenses as a group now.

What are the differences between closed, open, and public Ritual?As Mystic Star defines it, a "closed" ritual is only for Coven members; no outside individuals are allowed to attend. Open ritual, on the other hand, is a ritual where we may invite specific guests. These may be spouses, adult children, or very trusted friends of Members. Public ritual is different in that it is open to the public to attend. This kind of ritual would be advertised in places like the Louisville Pagans Facebook group and the general Pagan community would be invited to attend. Closed ritual for the Coven has a specific format and specific actions that we don't share with anyone outside the Coven, so it looks different from what we might do at an Open or Public ritual.

Does the Coven offer online training, or is it in-person only?One of our principles states that we believe the internet is a great tool for communication, but not so great for training and initiation. Within Feycraft, the energy currents are transferred through regular contact with an in-person group who has an established egregore. So while you may be able to absorb the information when presented online, and you may be able to practice the exercises and rituals by yourself, the energy transference and the relationship you build with the egregore can't be done online. So for Feycraft, specifically, we do not train online.

What is the role of the Coven Council and the Board of Directors?We call our Board of Directors, "Coven Council," so they're the same entity. Coven Council runs the day-to-day business of the Coven, such as making the annual schedule, determining who will lead what Sabbat ritual, reviewing policies annually to make sure they still fit our culture, making adjustments to policies as necessary, approving expenditures, etc. In addition, Coven Council determines by democratic consensus what candidates for Dedicant status seem to be a good fit for the Coven, as well as ensuring that criteria are met for moving onto First, Second and Third degrees.

How are my donations/offerings used?Donations from the public, as well as Offerings of Members, are used to fund outreach in the local Pagan community and to pay for our expenses (such as listed above under "Are there fees or dues ..."). We hope to one day take enough in donations to be able to contribute to other non-profit organizations in the Pagan and LGBTQIA+ communities.

What is the Coven's stance on spiritual advice and mental health?MSC believes that spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health are intimately linked, even dependent upon one another. However, we are not licensed financial, mental, or medical health professionals. The Coven provides guidance on the practice of Feycraft and spiritual development. Magic is a way to empower the spirit and align with nature - it is not a replacement for real medical or psychiatric treatment. Additionally, while finances can be affected by magic and spirituality, they are also not a replacement for professional financial services. We actively encourage Members to seek out professionals in the appropriate field when these kinds of needs arise. We are a place of spiritual growth, but we are not a clinical environment. Also, if someone is experiencing a mental health crisis, we immediately refer them to specialized professional services. Confidentiality is very important to us, so while we hold space for spiritual and personal sharing, we reserve the right to contact the appropriate authorities if we believe a person is at imminent risk of harming themselves or others.

How do I know if I am ready to pursue formal study with MSC in the Feycraft Tradition?Readiness for Feycraft is a very personal decision. There have been many who have thought they were ready and, once brought on as Dedicant, have either disappeared without even a goodbye, or have manipulated their way into being ousted so they wouldn't feel like "the bad guy." I say this in every Meet and Greet: Feycraft will rip you apart and put you back together; it absolutely will change you, or you will find some reason to leave. Feycraft takes no prisoners. Most of the people who find MSC are people who are ready for a change, sometimes a very big change, even if they don't realize it yet. Most have defected from the rigidity of monotheistic religions. You must be ready to build a consistent, daily practice. There are no pre-requisites for applying, but it wouldn't hurt to take a look at our Recommended Reading page to see if any of the material resonates with you. A lot of what is there is material that has been read, studied and/or practiced by current Members. You may also want to check out What We Look for in Dedicants - it'll tell you what most people who come to Feycraft and MSC are like.
