What we’re about
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.

Hello Beautiful Souls! ✨We are excited to invite you to our New Moon Cacao Circle Tuesday, October 21st from 6:30-8pm @theprismandpendulum in Escondido. This New Moon in Libra brings fresh and creative energy into our lives, especially our relationships. This is a cycle in which balancing our close personal relationships becomes an urgent desire. Negotiations may be especially effective, as we are inclined to assert our needs in ways that don’t offend others. However, we do need a fresh start. Shooting too high or too far won’t help us achieve our goals sooner.
We will use our breath and embark on an internal meditation journey. Space is limited. Register on The Prism & Pendulum website to reserve spot. This is a donation based event with a suggested donation of $25. All donations appreciated . Jen accepts Venmo @Jennifer-Hawkins-77 and cash.
