About The CEC
Welcome To Our Fellowship
And welcome to our new website. This new site will ultimately carry a great deal of information about The Church, its Circles and events, information about the services we provide and our clergy, a collection of forums where you can ask questions and get answers from like minded people and much more.
Obviously the site is still in its infancy and as is very much under development. But it's being added to nearly every day, so please keep checking back frequently.
If you have any ideas or suggestions on how we can do things better, please drop us a note in the 'suggestions box' forum
Esbats and Full Moon Rituals for Beginners
In five days, on October 26, the Hunter's Moon rises full over the Hudson Valley, just ahead of Samhain. If you have been meaning to start working with the moon, there is no better time. This article is for beginners: what an Esbat is, how the phases of the moon are used in practice, a simple full moon ritual you can do on your own and how to keep it safe.
The Wheel of the Year: Sabbats Explained
Blessed Mabon, everyone! Tonight the sun crosses the equator, day and night stand nearly equal, and the year tips toward its dark half. It feels like a good moment to step back and look at the whole Wheel of the Year: the eight Sabbats witches celebrate, what each one means and how we mark them at the Church of The Eternal Circle.
The CEC Forums Are Open Again
Blessed Ostara, everyone! On the day the light and the dark stand in balance and the year turns toward growth, we are very happy to say that the CEC Forums are back up, open and alive again.
Witches Tea Party Fundraiser
Our friends at The Awareness Shop are very kindly hosting an ongoing weekly event to benefit The Church of The Eternal Circle.
The Witches Tea Party, as it's affectionally called, is a wonderful way to develop your psychic abilities by joining in a group divination in a friendly, non-judgemental setting - both in person and online.
