 Nun - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Technically, a convent is the home of a community of sisters – or, indeed, of priests and brothers, though this term is rarely used in the U.S. The term "monastery" is usually used by communities within the Benedictine family, and convent (when referring to a cloister) of certain other orders.

 Wicca - duno.com reference
Wicca as a religion is primarily concerned with the priestess or priest's relationship to the Goddess and God.
Some Wiccans hold the Goddess to be pre-eminent, since she contains and conceives all (Gaea or Mother Earth is one of her more commonly revered aspects); the God, commonly described as the Horned God or the Divine Child, is the spark of life and inspiration within her, simultaneously her lover and her child.
Covens are autonomous, and are generally headed by a High Priest and a High Priestess working in partnership, being a couple who have each been through their first, second and third degrees of initiation.

One of the few positions that remained reserved to patricians at this time was the office of Rex Sacrorum, king of sacred rites, who was theoretically the highest ranking priest, responsible for carrying on the religious duties of the early kings of Rome.
In practice, his authority was superseded by that of the Pontifex Maximus, who was not necessarily a Patrician.
