Clark County business accused of witchcraft, owner says it’s not true

WINCHESTER, Ky. (LEX 18) — A Clark County business that will celebrate its first anniversary in June got some unexpected backlash this month.

The Crystal Coven Mystic Cottage has been accused of practices that its owner says aren’t true.

Owner and operator Shannon Tipton says, “I have a multitude of stones, crystals, jewelry, incense, herbs, spices, teas…”

Crystal Coven Mystic Cottage has been in Winchester for a while.

Tipton explains, “All of the stones are meant for some type of energy protection, energy healing.”

Tipton says the past couple of weeks have been rough. It started when she got a heads-up from a customer about a message from local leaders.

She says, “They were trying to say I was a religion. I’m not a religion, I’m a business, I’m a metaphysical shop.”
