REFORMED DRUIDS OF BRYN MAWR BRIDGE PROTOGROVE

CITY: Alexandria

TRADITION OR SPIRITUAL PATH: Druidry/Ecclectic

CONTACT NAME: Taid-i-Rowan

EMAIL: druidudeofhillbayou"at"proton.me

WEBSITE: https://rdobmb.neocities.org/

UPDATED: 3/20/2025

 

Membership in the Bryn Mawr protogrove is 18+, but anyone can attend public rites, and ANYONE can be a Druid in the Reform tradition if they agree with the following tenets: The object of the search for spiritual truth, which is a universal and a never-ending search, may be found through the Earth-Mother, which is Nature, but this is one way among many. And great is the importance, which is of a spiritual importance, of Nature, which is the Earth-Mother, for it is one of the objects of creation, and with it we do live, even as we struggle through life do we come face-to-face with it.

BATON ROUGE

 

DENHAM SPRINGS HEATHENS

CITY: Baton Rouge

TRADITION OR SPIRITUAL PATH: Norse Paganism/Heathenism

CONTACT NAME: Ianthe Davis

EMAIL: anniedav0301@yahoo.com

UPDATED: 3/24/2025

 

A new (as of 2025) group/coven/community for Norse Pagans/Heathens free of Nazis, alt-right, racism, homophobia, and bigotry in general. The goal is to create a community that is informed, respectful, and connected. I am an anthropologist on top of being a Norse Pagan, so I try to find historical and cultural basis in my practice, both religiously and magic (seidr) wise! I would love to create a community and group that celebrates the religion and learns from each other respectfully and honors the gods.

THE CROSSROADS COVINE

CITY: Baton Rouge

TRADITION OR SPIRITUAL PATH: The Transliminal Craft; British Traditional Witchcraft; Wica

CONTACT NAME: Rowan Nymphaea Ka

EMAIL: queeringtheliminal@gmail.com

UPDATED: 1/21/2026

 

We are opening our doors for the first time to both local and international Seekers for training and study in the emergent Esoteric Witchcraft Tradition of The Transliminal Craft.

Located in the otherworldly swamplands of South Louisiana, The Crossroads Covine is a new Coven led by Rowan Nymphaea Ka (they/them) 2* High Priestex of The Wica, Torchbearer of Hekate, Esoteric Educator of the Mystery Teachings, and descendent of a Cajun ancestral lineage of over 300 years in Acadiana. We are anchored in and receive our Power primarily from 2 Lineages of British Traditional Craft - namely Gardnerian Wicca (LI Line) and the queer-centric New York Wica Tradition of Eddie Buczynski (aka Lord Gwydion) - as well as the dream temple and mystery school Las Piramides del Ka on Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, with robust influence and inspiration from the Currents of Hermetic Qabalah, Oracle Arts, Graeco-Egyptian Magic and Sabbatic Witchcraft/Crooked Path Sorcery as reified by Andrew Chumbley through such groundbreaking manuscripts as Azoetia and The Dragon Book of Essex. During Samhain 2024, Rowan was Elevated to the 2nd Degree of The Wica as a High Priestex & Witch, successfully receiving the Passing of Power which was verified by omens and phenomena experienced by 3 Initiates of the Craft of the Wise. This Elevation and subsequent acceptance into the nocturnal Witches Sabbath positions Rowan to autonomously lead a Training Coven while they pursue their 3rd Degree Elevation.

Our Covine operates at the Crossroads of The Wica, Sabbatic Craft and the Primal Current of Hekate, with a strong emphasis on the Queer Spirit Mysteries, Dreamweaving and Liminal Intelligences - each being the original and innovative expressions of the Mystery Teachings from Rowan’s unique journey of scholarly-level studies, occult attainments and inherent gifts. Training and 1st Degree Initiation will take place primarily within the milieu of the NY Wica Tradition, a near-exact recension of Gardnerian Wicca except with a radical acceptance of all genders and sexual orientations within Circle, even while celebrating the oft’ taboo same-sex Initiations, which are by the day becoming more and more common once again. Upon successfully completing the Year-and-a-Day training, Seekers will be invited to request Initiation - which will only be conducted via in-person ritual attendance and participation. Distance training will be offered for the right candidates, however all Initiations, Elevations and annual Coven Gatherings will be mandatory to attend in-person (likely once or twice a year, with a Coven Cornucopia fund to support travel expenses for those in need of financial assistance).

We are radically queer-centric, recovery friendly (in any expression), and trauma-informed, welcoming all who have felt exiled and unwelcomed in “traditional” (rather, conventional) spiritual communities or esoteric traditions. We celebrate diversity of age, race, gender, ethnicity, nationality, health (physical, mental and emotional) and socio-economic status, being quintessential to the vision that we have of a thriving community of shared revelation and religio-magical transformation.

Training for Initiation is offered free of charge, however a small sliding-scale donation will be accepted for supplies, materials and virtual community/educational platforms - totaling approximately $22-$33 per month, with any extra resources going into the Coven Cornucopia to be redistributed as needed.

TRADITION OR SPIRITUAL PATH: Eclectic Wiccan

CONTACT NAME: Annette Breaux

EMAIL: keepersofthehearth@gmail.com

 

I found the goddess in 2001 and have never looked back. My sister and I founded our coven, Keepers of the Hearth in 2007 as a way to connect since we live in different states. Since then we have had members come and go. We celebrate sabbats and esbats. I am a legal "reverend" and can perform legal handfastings and any other life altering events-marriages, divorce, birth, death, womanhood, etc. We are an eclectic wiccan coven. Our members all have different paths but we find common ground to work with. My personal path is mostly Egyptian influenced with some Greek influences as well. The patron of our coven is Hestia, Goddess of the Hearth and we believe in the practice of family, whether that family is blood related or heart chosen (those you choose to be your family!), We welcome new members or those just curious about the Wiccan Path.

BAYING WOLF CIRCLE

TRADITION OR SPIRITUAL PATH: Explorative Wicca

CONTACT NAME: Wolf Evermonte

EMAIL: lud_wolf08848@protonmail.com

UPDATED: 2/19/2025

 

The world has kept you distracted; endless noise, glowing screens, and a way of life that promises comfort but leaves you unfulfilled. You've been told to accept the ordinary, to lower your gaze, to silence the quiet voice inside you that longs for something more. But that spark within you hasn’t faded. 

What if you could rise beyond the mundane? What if you could step outside the illusions of time and space, sharpen your perception, and uncover the hidden forces that shape reality? Imagine not just contemplating the mysteries of existence, but experiencing them. 

We gather for every Esbat and Sabbat, aligning with the natural cycles of energy and discovery. Together, we explore the unseen, refine our awareness, and seek the truth that lies beyond the everyday world. 

For those seeking, please email with your name (or how you prefer to be addressed) and a short summary about yourself as well as what's drawn you to Wicca and the esoteric. Once we establish a dialogue we would be happy to meet with you and discuss further involvement with our coven. Some may not understand this path. But for those who feel the call, the journey is waiting. The moment is now. Cast off distraction, seek understanding, and live the life your soul was meant to live. Step into the wind. Rise. Be free.

UPDATED: 8/22/2024

​

Greetings and Merry Meet! Coven of the Vermillion Lily is a British Traditional Witchcraft coven lineaged in Alexandrian Witchcraft, a branch of the Craft created by Alex and Maxine Sanders in the 1960's. We are lineaged through the Dutch Line by way of Greencraft, which made it's way to the United States in the 1990's.

We celebrate the Sabbats, the Esbats, worship our Gods, and strive to understand the mysteries of the universe through the lens of our rich and deep tradition of Craft, crafted by Alex, Maxine, and our elders, and share in these mysteries both together and within the wider network of craft initiates.

We are an inclusive coven, meaning race, gender, sexual orientation, etc, are not a factor in how we train or screen seekers. We also do not tolerate sexual harassment or harassment of any kind within the coven. Seekers are expected to be willing to study various topics, possibly read books and discuss the contents with the High Priestess and High Priest, conduct exercises and report findings, and more.

Seekers will train for roughly a year and a day before being accepted for initiation though this isn't set in stone. Patience, hard work, and the willingness to learn are important qualities for a Seeker to have during the seeker process.

We are looking for seekers who are a minimum age of 25. Initiatory Craft is difficult, life-changing work, and requires a lot of personal time and dedication to be successful. If you are interested please feel free to send an email to us, describing who you are, why you're seeking initiation, your own practice, and any other details you feel might be relevant.
