The Circle of Eight

A Close, year-long journey through the Wheel of the Year

The Circle of Eight - A year long journey through the wheel of the year

The Circle of Eight is an intimate, year‑long spiritual journey for those seeking a deeper connection to the Wheel of the Year, the eight Sabbats, and their own seasonal practice. This closed circle is limited to eight souls, mirroring the eight festivals we honour — creating a sacred, supportive community for beginners and experienced seekers alike.

Across the year, we gather for in‑person meetings, each one held before a Sabbat. Together we explore seasonal spirituality, ritual crafting, altar‑building, and the gentle rhythm of earth‑based practice. You’ll learn how to honour each Sabbat in a grounded, accessible way, building confidence in your own path while connecting with like‑minded people.

At every gathering, you’ll craft and collect items for your altar — candles, symbols, charms, and seasonal tools — creating a meaningful, personal practice that grows as the year turns. By Yule, you’ll have a complete altar and a handcrafted wooden box to hold your sacred items.

We begin at Imbolc, welcoming the returning light and preparing your space and your spirit for the year ahead. Whether you’re new to witchcraft, exploring paganism, or simply longing for a deeper connection to nature and the seasons, this circle offers guidance, community, and a clear, supportive path.

This is a closed spiritual circle, ideal for those in Whimple, Exeter, Cullompton, Honiton, Ottery St Mary and the surrounding areas who are seeking seasonal workshops, community, and Wheel of the Year ceremonies.

Eight Sabbats. Eight gatherings. Eight souls. One sacred journey.

  • Yes! This is for you if you’re newly discovering a different path, or if you’ve already started but want guidance and companionship. You’ll be supported step‑by‑step, with encouragement to find your own rhythm.

  • The circle meets in person for 8 Sabbats across the year, but the energy exchange is spread evenly over 12 months to make it easier financially. This way, your place is held for the whole year without the burden of a large upfront cost.

  • Life happens! If you miss a meet, you’ll still receive your altar items and guidance for that Sabbat, so you can continue your journey at home. The circle remains closed and your place is always held.

  • No—the circle opens at Imbolc and closes once we begin. This ensures everyone journeys together from start to finish, building trust and continuity.

  • : Each gathering adds items to your altar space and deepens your knowledge of the Sabbats. You’ll begin with a starter kit (altar cloth, candles, journal) and end with a handcrafted wooden Tree of Life box to hold your sacred tools.

  • Only 8. Once the circle is full, doors close until next year.

  • There are 8 Sabbats in the Wheel of the Year, and this circle mirrors that rhythm. Limiting the group to 8 creates intimacy, depth, and a sense of sacred symmetry.
