“We cry and croon and cackle our asses off. We work on healing ourselves and holding one another’s hearts with softness, so we can fight more ferociously against insecurity and injustice.”

Mission Statement
Our Path is Lunar, its Beguiling, its Elemental, Primal, Folkloric, Mystical
& Hauntingly Beautiful..
“Our path” will be dedicated to reclaiming the power of All Lunar phases, her energy Emanates in Us All, through all past times and days old, across all paths, traditions and beliefs. This path will be to embody and live our deepest truth. We’ll be working with the dark lunar phase, it’s sure to reveal Mystical Knowledge and Bewitching Enchantments. 🖤
It’s the path of Liminality, we’ll work betwixt and between.
this will guide us through introspection, and transitions. Both the Dark and the Light, integrate new blueprints that serve the Witches we are or continue to shape-shift into.
It’s the path to sovereignty; the awakening of our self healing and gifts, inspiring creativity, and to moving towards sacred unity in this world and your highest purpose. 🖤
Dark Lunar Tradition will be paired with a European American Tradition, it will encompass a set of cultural practices and/or beliefs that are associated with the moon and are characterized by a darker or more mysterious nature. This could include rituals, ceremonies, customs or workings that are performed during specific phases of the lunar cycle, often with a focus on the night or darkness but not limited too. These traditions may vary across different cultures and can involve various elements such as astrology, magick, folklore, Deities, Land Spirits, other wordly Beings or spirituality.
Overall, dark lunar tradition encompasses a range of practices that explore the mystical and enigmatic aspects of the moon.
For Dark Lunar Court, we will honor and incorporate European and/or American Folkloric traditions/paths or any other Folk Magick from any country that may resonate with ones’ ancestry or Path’s Calling.
but we must remember to always approach with honor, reverence & Respect.
Dark Lunar Tradition
A few things of great importance...
A Safe Space
Our Circle/Coven Ethics promotes inclusivity and diversity, we strive to create an inclusive and welcoming safe space for individuals of various cultures, backgrounds, beliefs, and identities.
Discrimination, prejudice, and bigotry are strongly condemned, and efforts will be made to ensure all members feel respected, valued and safe.
- Our Circle/Coven practices egalitarianism, everyone’s voice matters and everyone gets a vote. We decide on everything fairly.
rotating leadership if others feel inclined to do so.
- if a fit, Members aka Seekers are Accepted twice a year, September & April.
reason being is that we restart the curriculum basics leading out with Apotropaic Magick aka Defensive Magick and Improving PSYCHIC ABILITIES.
This year we’ll start accepting new seekers April 2025.
for this September it will be all about fellowshipping, getting to know one another & Energy Matching.
- you can jump in at any time for the Calendar events
The Witches Pyramid Per Eliphas Lévi.
TO KNOW, To be a magician, one must know one’s craft and study. We must be dedicated to seeking wisdom and truth in our lives.
TO DARE, Magick is often uncomfortable, to be a Witch is to dare to be different. To walk in the footsteps of Goddesses/Gods and expose yourself to things greater than ourselves, it takes courage.
TO WILL, Our will is what manifests change, and if we don’t utilize our will we won’t get the results we are looking for in our magickal work.
TO KEEP SILENT, A Witch should not “out” another Witch unless they have permission to do so. On the other, sometimes we must remain silent in order to listen, gain insight and knowledge.

Q & A
1) Q. What is our Coven Flavor?
A. it’s very folkloric, ROMANTIC cottage witchcore, laced w/Natural Magick, Ominous Witchery, its liminal, elemental, venusian, thematic, & melodic, its nocturnal, Poetic, unruly at times, and very dark ACADEMIA.
2) Q. Are there any membership fees?
A. No, there are not but you will be responsible for contributing a few bucks for supplies you’ll be using at craft nights, participating in potlucks, funds for Fellowship meetups, entry fees possibly for Circle/Coven Field trips etc.
What’s the Main Magickal Focus of the Circle/Coven?
A. Self-Development Magick
3) Q. What is our Coven Path?
A. Dark Lunar Path (See mission Statement)
4) Q. What is Our Coven Tradition?
a. Dark Lunar Tradition that is paired with European American Traditional Witchcraft (Folk Magick)
5) Q. Can Members follow other traditions, paths & work with other Deities outside of
our Circle/Coven?
A. Absolutely, It’s very needed and encouraged to have your own practice outside of the circle/Coven.
6) Q. Do I need to know how to do a ritual or how to practice witchcraft?
A. Not necessarily, We’ll be happy to guide you in areas you need help in but you do need “to know” that you’re a Magical being, that your a witch or a Magickal practitioner & what practices/spell work you’re comfortable with and not comfortable with.
7) Q. Will it be an Academic Coven?
a. Yes and no, we’re not exclusively a teaching Coven. There is always something to teach and learn from one another. My HP always used to say “she will forever be a perpetual student‘. From my experience we are always evolving and going down the spiral path, we will most definitely evolve & Learn together.
7) a. (cont.)
We’ll inspire, encourage and support one another.
The guidance, experience and knowledge gained will grow your abilities and deepen your practice. Take what resonates and leave the rest behind.
Do your own research, experiment, and use your intuition any time you're diving into new information or new books.
Witchy education and lore seeking is driven by the Seeker. You must show UP for yourself and be the driving force for witchy education. Here’s one of those times WHERE “To know” APPLIES FROM THE wITCHES pYRAMID.
Q. Do you provide a curriculum and/or workshops?
Yes, we provide both
Q. wHAT DO YOUR Coven Politics ENCOMPASS?
Our Coven practices egalitarianism, everyone’s voice matters and everyone gets a vote. We decide on everything fairly.

In the simplest terms I’m a Chaos Folk Witch, that works within the crossroads. I consider myself an Occultist, pertaining to the academic sphere.
My main magickal focus is Folk Magick, that is heavily laced with European American Traditional Witchcraft.
Ancestral Veneration, Omen Craft, Vulture Core, Nocturnal Magick, Necromantic Arts, Time Period Magick, Victorian Witchcraft, Archetypal Magick, Fairycraft, Glamour Magick, Venusian Magick, Water Witchcraft, Spellcraft, Potions & Elixirs, Planetary Magick, Chaos Theory and the Lunar Realms is what my Magickal Framework looks like.
I do like to incorporate a little ceremonial magick during the Sabbats & other Witch/Pagan Observances that are important to me from time to time.
I’m a big believer in “See a need, fill a Need” that was my inspiration for starting a “European American Traditional Witchcraft Path”.
