Order of the Mystai

The Order of the Mystai is a sisterhood united by a common love of the Lunar Mysteries. For almost two decades, we have shared love, laughter, and a deep spiritual connection both in person and through the aether. Our group includes the Order of Priestesses as well as Sisters in Goddess whose light and love are part of our circles. We realized early on that while earthly seasons vary—leaving some sisters in the blistering heat of summer while others are nose-deep in parkas—the Moon, She Who Shines For All, remains identical for all Her daughters.

Almost twenty years ago, the Mystai Order was founded by our mother coven, the Dream a New Dream Coven, because we realized that we had stepped onto a new Path in our work, pushing past the boundaries of our decades within traditional Goddess-oriented frameworks.
Since that transformational moment, our sisterhood has steadily morphed and matured. While our original mother coven has since ceased to be, the living current it birthed did not fade. Instead, it evolved into the international sisterhood we carry forward today.

Hekate Rising Annual Retreat

August 2027

Join us at Sacred Waters in Mishawaka, Indiana for this magickal weekend of Sisterhood and discovery as we explore the Mysteries of Hekate reborn for the 21st Century. The site is a private spiritual retreat center located on 4.3 acres of land in north central Indiana. This will be a weekend of deep inward Goddess journeying, sharing of Sisterhood, and experiencing the Mysteries of Hekate.

The number of spaces will be limited to keep the space intimate and allow for creation of a strong energy. Please be prepared for the fact that this is not a standard Goddess festival-type event, but is rather a very focused visioning and journeying in a space meant for sharing and discovering. What you bring to this in terms of your own mindspace will very much play a part in what you get out of it.

  • The Setting: We will have an indoor kitchen space for cooking meals as well as indoor and outdoor spaces in which to do our circles.

  • Shared Devotion: All women will be expected to share in the sacred work of preparing meals and cleaning up afterwards.

The Charge of Hekate
( T. Bebout 2011)
Hear Me, Seekers, this is My call unto you.
I am Nyktipolos, Wanderer in the Depths of Night.
I know the secrets of the Dark Moon and the secrets you hold in the silence of your soul.
I am Soteira, the World Soul. Pursuit of My Mysteries will lead you to places that will change your whole being.
I am Kleidouchos, Keeper of the Keys of the Universe. Unto me does Zeus Himself render honors.
I am Propylaia, Guardian of the Gates of Wisdom. I challenge all to look within themselves and see the truth that is there.
I am Brimo, Lady of the Tempests. I bring the storms that cleanse the world and the storms that shake your foundations.
I am Kourotrophos, Nurse of the Young. I am the Divine Midwife who guided and cared for Persephone in her time of need. Let none despair who call upon My name for succor!
I am Aidonaia, Mighty Queen of the Underworld. Death is my servant and my helpmeet; let none who seek My Ways fear death.
I am all these things and more. My ways are Mysteries which can be found in a moment of inspiration but will take a lifetime to understand.
I am stern yet kind, terrible yet loving, fearful yet tender. I suffer not fools and I accept no excuses. I demand responsibility and truth. I will show you the strength you hide from yourself, and I will bring it out for the World to see.
Seek me in the darkest night, in the face of the moon, in the pounding of the waves, in the shining ocean deeps, the roots of the Earth, and the warm soil. I am in all these places and more. I am Queen in All Realms and Lady of the Sacred Doorways. Invoke me in quiet places where three roads meet or where realms touch. Caves and seashores and mountaintops are my home.
Look in the mirror and seek me there. Look in your heart of hearts and call upon Me and lo, I am there.
