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.

January 2026 Full Moon Ceremonies (FREE EVENT, READ DESCRIPTION)
The Prism and Pendulum, 156 W Grand Ave, Escondido, CA, USDue 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. In the event that this event fills up, any who are not RSVP'd through The Prism and Pendulum's system will have to be turned away. Seats fill up fast, don't miss out on this event! There are two times for this event, one at 6:00 and one at 7:30. Please only sign up for one session.
Our Full Moon Ceremonies are immersive, intentional gatherings designed to help you pause, reflect, and realign with the rhythm of the lunar cycle.
The ceremony begins with a discussion exploring the energetic, astrological, and symbolic themes of that specific full moon. Following this, open our circle, creating a protected and intentional space where participants can arrive fully and leave the outside world behind. A guided meditation follows, helping you attune to the energy of the full moon while centering your mind and body.
From there, we move into two hands-on ritual activities, which may include journaling, spellwork, sigil creation, candle work, or symbolic release practices. These activities are always aligned with the themes of the current full moon and are accessible to both beginners and experienced practitioners.
Full Moon Ceremonies are not performances or passive events; they are participatory, grounding, and intentionally paced. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of focus, emotional release, and a deeper connection to both yourself and the lunar cycle.
While this event is free, the facilitator greatly appreciates energy-exchange donations of any value, via cash, Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal.
Please arrive 10 minutes early. It is recommended to bring with you a journal and pen.1 attendee
