Lady's Well Pagan Grove

Formerly The Nashville Coven, the Lyndon coven is a coven of
the Gardnerian Tradition of Wica in the Lyndon area of Louisville,
Kentucky
. We are of dual lineage (Alexandrian and Gardnerian) ,
however have chosen to solely practice as a Traditional Gardnerian
coven. Our Pagan Grove, Lady's Well is designed to prepare a
candidate towards training for the Traditional Priesthood of the
Wica. .

We worship the Olds Gods: The Moon Goddess of the Wica
and Her Consort, the Horned God. We celebrate the cycles
of Their Lives through the 8 yearly Sabbats. We observe the time
honored practices of hierarchy and skyclad worship within the coven
and focus on doing the Work of our Gods. We actively meet for
Esbats, Sabbats, discussions and other events as well.

L
ady's Well is where all Dedicants for our coven begin regardless of prior training or
experience.  Our training program is academic, magickal and personal. A Dedicant is expected
to keep up with each aspect while also getting to know us and vice versa.  Each person who
requests to join the Grove should be honest about the amount of time they truly have to
give. Attendance is very important and is stressed as such. We expect a person to give as
much commitment to the Grove as the Grove will give to them.

If you are interested in contacting us, we ask that you take a moment to peek around our
website here to learn more about us and British Traditional Wica. A seeker who is interested
in our coven should email us.  You will then receive our
Grove Questionnaire via email.  No
meeting will take place until this is returned to us.

We actively train people for the Traditional Priesthood of the Wica.  If this is not your goal
and intention, please  visit the
Kentucky Witchvox Page to find another group that will be
more suited to your desires. You may find our listing on Witchvox
here.

Our Philosophy on Teaching can be summed up in these short paragraphs:

As Teachers
"Our duty of care is to the quality of ...Training, the fineness of ...Judgment in selecting
Proper Persons, and ... Ability to teach what you were taught, AS you were taught it, with as
few enhancements or personal frills as possible.
~ Rhys of Blackthorn Coven (From
Amber and Jet with permission)

As Students
"The initial payment of students needs to be the abandonment of the old ways, the turning
of the mind to new pursuits and the cultivation of new perspectives, and the willingness to
be led and to obey within the bonds of trust. Not cash. Cash is cheap compared to the real
price of learning the Craft of the Wise. It's learning to trust someone in a position of
authority and learning the discipline of how to follow, so that some day, you can lead."
(C) Adam ~ BTW Elder  (From
Amber and Jet with permission)

"The duty of the student is to understand the nature of Wiccan service to the Gods and to
the coven, and to honestly judge if that is what they want, and if yes, to listen intently and
with humility and gratitude that they are becoming part of a great family that stretches back
in time."
