Coven of the Grove and the Solitary Mystics

The Coven of the Grove and the Solitary Mystics is a volunteer-led pagan and spiritual group based in Los Angeles and Southern California.

The organization is dedicated to the practice of witchcraft and occult education through various grassroots activities. 

Key characteristics of the group include:

• Public Activities: They host free "reading Circles" at Pan Pacific Park in Los Angeles, which have expanded to include events across Southern California.
• Education: The group is known for its popular, free-to-attend classes on Thoth Tarot and other occult subjects.
• Ritual Practice: The "Coven" and "Core Circle" meet regularly for Esbats (lunar rituals) and both greater and lesser Sabbats (pagan holidays).
• Structure: While the "Coven" represents a committed core group, the "Solitary Mystics" portion of the name reflects their inclusivity toward individual practitioners (solitaries) and newcomers who may not be part of a formal coven structure. 

The group maintains an online presence through platforms like Instagram and Facebook to coordinate their book clubs and spiritual meetings.

The Grove and The Coven Network (also referred to as The Grove Coven Network) is an online resource and community hub for Neo-Pagan organizations and individuals in Los Angeles and Southern California. 

As of January 2026, the network serves several key functions:

• Organizing Hub: It provides platforms for cross-over promotions between likeminded spiritual, nature-oriented, and queer-friendly organizations, such as the Pan Pacific Pagans and Radical Faeries.
• Resource Center: The network hosts online resources for local practitioners and maintains communication channels via Instagram and WhatsApp to coordinate events and share insights with organizers both locally and from out of state.
• Affiliated Groups: It is closely associated with the Coven of the Grove and the Solitary Mystics, which has historically held popular free Thoth Tarot and occult classes, as well as ritual circles for Esbats and Sabbats at Pan Pacific Park. 

The network emphasizes values of shared growth, seasonal celebrations, and connection with the cycles of nature, often operating in a "loose though tight-knit" manner to welcome newcomers into the local occult and pagan scenes.
