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!

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.

Omnimancy is a magical order that is centered around the development of astral senses, to better understand and apply energetic magic for practical results. We heavily focus on refining our practices through research and experimentation to make results based magic more reliable and efficient.
The original group started in New Jersey in the early 90's (OmniCore) and is still actively growing today. An experiment in teaching online started over a decade ago (OmniCyber) has had students from all around the globe.
With a handful of us being based in Livingston Parish we're trying to establish a local meetup (OmniSwamp).
Our initial curriculum takes about a year and a half to two years of weekly meetings to move through. Taking a student from the very basics of energy work through much more advanced topics such as: Spiritual anatomy, Amplifiers, Healing, and Warding to name a few.
If this sounds up your alley, and your over 18. Send me an email about the application process.
We are not a religious order, however we are open to all faiths. We do not discriminate based on: race, age, gender, nationality or disability.

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.
