COVINGTON
SOUTHERN LOUISIANA WITCHES AND PAGANS
CITY: Covington
TRADITION OR SPIRITUAL PATH: Eclectic
CONTACT NAME: Dixie
WEBSITE: FACEBOOK
A place for people in Southern Louisiana who identify with a path like (but not limited to) paganism, wicca, witchcraft etc.
We interact daily through a private Facebook group. Posts and discussion are only able to be seen by other group members, because your privacy is important to us. Seekers welcome and encouraged to join!
We discuss topics such as astrology, herbs, deities, questions, talk about what books we're reading, discuss moon phases, share spells and tools, and just chat! This is a safe space to let your thoughts and ideas flow. We don't have a formal in-person meet up, but many members know each other from places such as Gryphon's Nest, Pagan Pride Day, and the various events, shops, and circles nearby. We also use this group as a tool to spread awareness about local pagan events and celebrations.
We'd love to hear from you and grow our local community!

The Acadiana Spiritual Association (ASA) is a group of individuals who practice alternative spiritualities which ascribe to common values and goals for the betterment of themselves and their local religious, social, political, familial, and work communities. Acadiana Spiritual Association defines alternative spirituality as inclusive of reconstruction of classical polytheistic religions, neo-pagan paths, new age movements, magical systems, syncretic religions, eastern philosophies, and indigenous or tribal traditions. The Acadiana Spiritual Association embraces and celebrates diversity and inclusiveness of all minority faiths within the Acadiana community; we endeavor to raise awareness of Acadiana's diverse spiritual beliefs.
Acadiana Spiritual Association is a non-profit multi-religious organization which conducts workshops, seminars, and charity events. ASA hosts Sharing Circle, D.I.V.E.R.S.I.T.Y. Night Social, the Brew Review, and Triviae Theologia. Along with reoccurring events, such as quarterly workshops, yearly retreats, and an annual picnic, we also have several community service projects, such as an annual fundraiser benefiting cancer victims and an annual cemetery clean-up day. We also travel to attend regional spiritual conventions. One day we hope to host a multi-religious spiritual convention in Lafayette, Louisiana as well as expand our community service projects. We build community through shared experiences and positive social interactions.
KEEPERS OF THE HEARTH
CITY: Lafayette
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.
LAKE CHARLES
PAGANS OF THE LAKE
CITY: Lake Charles
TRADITION OR SPIRITUAL PATH: Eclectic Pagan/Wicca
CONTACT NAME: Chase
EMAIL: chaseewing1@gmail.com
UPDATED: 6/10/2021
Pagans of the Lake is a eclectic pagan/wiccan group based out of Southwest Louisiana. Our main goal is fellowship and community. We will hold gatherings that are completely based on learning from each other and about each other. There will be no specific ritual or practice, we shall let the goddess decide what specific worship the group needs.
Our main goal will be in the community. We will be meeting once per month. Sometimes we will be cleaning up beaches and parks, volunteering, giving care packages to the homeless, and much more. We will do this only to spread love and light to others and the natural/cosmic worlds.
We will not be covering ourselves with propaganda for the group, but only the unity of humankind. Although, if asked, we will proudly identify ourselves as the Pagans of the Lake. I pour my love and light into you

UPDATED: 8/1/2022
Taurë Alcarin is a coven practicing the Alexandrian tradition of Wicca. We descend from the Dutch/Greencraft line, and are one of only three covens from this branch within the US.
We remain open to inquiries, though only take new Seekers on a couple of times a year.
It is recommended that those not familiar with British Traditional Wicca read "Traditional Wicca: a Seekers Guide" by Thorn Mooney. This book is an outstanding primer for what British Traditional Wicca is like, what the Seeker process is like, why one might be interested in British Traditional Wicca, and what one might do should British Traditional Wicca turn out to not be for them.
