The Eclectic Grove: A Journey Through Diverse Pagan Paths
Mission Statement
At the heart of the Eclectic Grove lies a passionate commitment to celebrating the rich tapestry of pagan traditions. Our mission is threefold:
-
Craft Exploration: We delve into the ancient and modern practices of witchcraft, magic, and ritual. From candle spells to crystal grids, from herbology to divination, our circle encourages hands-on exploration. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or a curious seeker, there's always something new to learn.
-
Spiritualism Unveiled: The Eclectic Grove embraces the mystical and the metaphysical. We honor the interconnectedness of all beings, the cycles of nature, and the unseen realms. Our gatherings include meditation, trance work, and communion with spirits, gods, and ancestors. We seek to deepen our spiritual connections while respecting individual paths.
-
Empowerment and Inclusivity: We recognize that paganism is as diverse as the changing seasons. Our circle welcomes practitioners from various traditions—Wicca, Druidry, Heathenry, Hellenism, and more. We celebrate gender fluidity, sexual orientation, and cultural backgrounds. Each member brings a unique perspective, and together, we empower one another to embrace authenticity and personal growth.
Gathering Under the Moon
Our circle meets during the phases of the moon, honoring the waxing, full, and waning energies. Our rituals blend tradition with innovation. We might invoke ancient deities one night and create modern sigils the next. Our altar holds symbols from different pantheons, reflecting the interconnected web of existence.
Wheel of the Year
Throughout the seasons, we celebrate the eight Sabbats—Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lammas, Mabon, Samhain, and Yule. Each turn of the Wheel invites us to explore different aspects of life, death, and rebirth. Whether we dance around a bonfire or share stories over warm cider, we honor the Earth's cycles.
Open Arms, Open Minds
The Eclectic Grove invites seekers of all backgrounds. Whether you're drawn to the Norse runes, the Egyptian mysteries, or the Celtic knots, you'll find a place here. Our elders share wisdom, our novices ask questions, and our solitaries find community. We believe that diversity strengthens our magic.
Join Us
If you seek a circle that celebrates the wild, the wise, and the wonder-filled, come sit with us. Bring your tarot deck, your drum, your poetry, and your open heart. The Eclectic Grove awaits—a sanctuary where the old ways meet the new, and where every soul finds its own sacred path.
May the elements guide us, and may our intentions weave magic.

- Fortune Telling (with Lenormand Oracle) SeminarThe Prism and Pendulum, Escondido, CA
Due to the size of our space, seating is LIMITED. Therefore, it is REQUIRED THAT YOU RSVP for this event at the following link: https://www.theprismandpendulum.com/calendar-scheduling.

This seminar, Fortune Telling with the Lenormand Oracle, will be led by Lindsi (professional diviner with over 7 years of experience). If you've ever felt that tarot is too symbolic, too open-ended, or simply too nuanced for straightforward questions, Lenormand might be exactly what you're looking for!
The Lenormand Oracle is a 36-card deck that follows a standardized structure, similar to tarot, but is far more direct and practical. Unlike tarot, which often requires deep symbolic interpretation, Lenormand cards speak in clear, almost sentence-like combinations when the reader knows what to look for. Each card carries an inherently positive, negative, or neutral meaning, making it especially effective for "fortune telling" and gaining clarity around future events.
Some of the topics included in this seminar are as follows:
- The Origins and Structure of Lenormand: Learn where the "French Tarot" originated, how its evolved, and why so many modern readers are turning to it over traditional tarot
- Lenormand vs. Tarot: Understand the core differences in symbolism, interpretation, and structure, and why Lenormand is often easier and more reliable than tarot for making predictions
- Using Lenormand Spreads: Learn techniques for reading foundational spreads that help you track unfolding events in your life, and see how different areas of your life may be energetically interacting
- Real-Life Applications: From love to career to decision-making, you’ll see how this no-nonsense system can provide real-world answers quickly and clearly
If you’ve ever wanted to try card divination but have been overwhelmed with the complexities of tarot, this class will introduce you to a more user friendly, accessible alternative!
While this seminar is free, donations are encouraged and appreciated! We'd prefer not to put a financial paywall between those who are seeking guidance and the information we have to share, but donations make it possible for us to continue our work. Cash donations are preferred!
Please arrive 5–10 minutes early if possible. You are welcome to bring your own Lenormand deck if you would like to reference it during the seminar. For those just starting out, there are Lenormand decks available for purchase in our shop. A journal and pen are also encouraged if you prefer to take notes.
