Group Description:
Very excited to have found this site. Would love to add a listing for the Order of the Sacred Grove, a modern American witchcraft tradition in the East Bay area. We are looking forward to planning our next apprentice cycle. Some basic information is below but to learn more about us and, if interested, to submit an apprentice application, seekers can visit us at http://orderofthesacredgrove.org/menu.html
You can also email us at osgmentors@gmail.com. The Order of the Sacred Grove is dedicated to the practice of witchcraft and to the establishment of the Temple of the Goddess. We are open to all who seek training and initiation into the ways of the wise. We are devoted to the Goddess in all of Her forms. OSG consists of independent but cooperative covens or groves within the larger order. Each coven develops its own patron gods and may follow an independent, but harmonious magickal current. We believe that witchcraft must remain a living tradition, and although traditional structure is essential, we allow for a free expression of dynamic and fluid energy to express itself through a working group.
The Order offers training for those who wish to become priestesses and priests of the Goddess. We are an initiatory tradition and apprentices are taught by mentors within the Order. We are open to all genders, however, it must be recognized that this is a Goddess oriented group. We encourage freedom of thought and individual expression; "Do What Thou Wilt, An It Harm None." We strive to accommodate a wide range of beliefs and practices.
We currently have two groves, one in Berkeley, CA and one in Concord, CA and we are looking to form new groves in Martinez, CA and one a but farther away in the Folsom CA area.
We would be happy to answer any questions you might have here in this thread or you can email us at osgmentors@gmail.com. Blessed be.

Mission Statement
​
We are here to support and celebrate California’s diverse community. No matter if your beliefs are Atheist, Polytheist, somewhere in between or have none at all. We are also here to preserve and maintain the dignity and honor of being a Pagan, Witch, Healer, Heathen, Earth Child, all around accountable human beings and good stewards of Earth.
​
We believe that in a world where the technology that drives our society and the currency that circulates it can fail at any given moment, the Practices and teachings of our Ancestors are more important than ever and must be preserved. We value the beliefs, sacred or profane, of all Practitioners.
Although we focus on the root Paths of California Practice, all Paths are honored and respected amongst everyone in our Society as we expect the same in return. We provide a safe and welcoming community to celebrate and commune together free of judgment and political banter. We support our community in many ways, from supporting events to donating to our fund-raising partners and working with our vetted businesses.
​
California Black Hat Society™, or CaliforniaBHS™, or CaBHS™, respects the ways of our Ancestors and will continue teaching the traditions now and for generations to come.
