IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT, July 3, 2020:
Dear Eclectic Community,
As we navigate the current times together, we want you to be assured that here at Eclectic Traditions (ET) your health and wellbeing is our primary goal.
Due to the Corona Virus (COVID-19) still prevalent in 2020 and we are barley half way through the year with major up ticks in cases, ALL ET rituals will be online only, until further notice. These online rituals will be in the form of live Facebook feeds, Zoom, or other video platforms based on the who is actually leading the ritual. This means only the physical gatherings are cancelled until further notice, however we at ET would like for you to join us online to celebrate or to even watch it later when the timing is right for you. (Only Zoom videos will not be able to be viewed later for personal at a later time to protect attendees privacy.)
Thank you for your understanding, trust, and continued support.
Many blessings!
From the entire Eclectic Traditions Board

Seasonal Community Celebrations
For followers of nature-based spiritual paths the dynamics of the changing seasons and the interplay between darkness and light, and the natural world are fundamental. This cycle is an expression of deeper truths, and by making a conscious choice to be active participants in the natural ebb and flow of the year, pagans can find harmony with things on all levels: natural, personal, and the divine.
Community rituals are open to the whole pagan and pagan friendly community to celebrate the seasons.

Our community rituals are brought to you by the community!!! Thank you all for your generous donations at our celebrations!!! Our community group is able to continue through donations. Donations make it possible to have a safe place for celebrating and making memorable experiences.
We generally ask for a five dollar donation, but every big and little bit helps. There are also other ways of helping the group out so please see the "helping Out" tab of this website.

2020 Community Celebrations
First Harvest
When: Friday, July 31
Where: Facebook Live Ritual at the ET Public Page (look below for the link to the Facebook page)
Time: 7pm Central Time Zone
Leading: Chol Roman, ET Co-Founder, Lead Coordinator, & Executive Director - Eclectic
Notes: Here and now, at the First Harvest, it is the first of the harvest seasons before the chill and death of winter. The First Harvest is a time to be thankful for the bounty all around us, despite the current times of stress and struggle of 2020. The First Harvest can also be seen as a check point, to check in on where we are at on the plants we should be harvesting from, or rather the goals and plans we have implemented and worked on since Imbolc and Spring Equinox. Are we reaping what we sowed at the beginning of the year? Have we forgotten to be thankful for what we have? Have we deterred from the path, be that from outside or inside chaos that has slowed our progress?
No road to success is without its rough patches and a few roller coasters rides… however no matter what, sometimes things just don’t go as planned and we may begin to get stagnant, bogged down or constant tragedies happen. Almost like the universe is saying something. Maybe we need to re-plan and look at what is not working anymore, and also remember to not let the tragedies and upheavals leave us forgetting what it means to be grateful.
This is a reaping time. Time to take the scythe and lay the corn, wheat, barley, and other grains to the ground. Time to cut away the decay from the good, to be thankful for what has been given, and share of it with others as well.
Metaphorically, these are the energies we will be working with this coming First Harvest.
