Does anyone use the term "eclectic pagan" anymore?

I mean I know it was a thing in the 90s but now it just seems to be a dated and nobody seems to use it anymore.

Never in all my life have I ever heard the words "eclectic" and "pagan" used in the same sentence.

But I have heard, and even used "eclectic" in lots of sentences.

And I have also heard, and even used "Pagan" in several sentences.

But I can say with a great deal of certainty, that I've neither heard, nor used "eclectic," and "pagan," in the same sentence.

Oh yes. Even know of a festival that still happens for them. Yet that is kind of played down for other reasons.

BTW there's a group on this site for eclectic paganism

The term doesn't necessarily apply to Wicca either. Druids are sometimes called eclectic. I know of a few of them. And Kemetism applies to Egyptian religion and is considered eclectic. I once knew one that followed the Kemetic path. Both are long after 2000.

Like 2012 for the last.

@ThomReidTheBlack believe me I know it better than you do. I have been all around the USA. 40 states worth of it.

I identify as an eclectic pagan, I don't follow any particular tradition. I build my own one from different elements that resonate with me. I also see myself as a neo-pagan.

Do you plan on worshiping the Sungoddess? That’s a unique phrase that I Imagine you would not find anywhere else.

It’s more about being part of a techno pagan society tiday.

@therighttothink50 techno pagan. Now that is a blast from the 90s.

@therighttothink50 Is that like the Techno Union? Should we br worried Techno Pagans will start a war ?
Paganism and Wicca are so 90s anyway. Atheism's how it's done now. Although I think that's due for a burnout soon as well
Never heard of it

@V00doo That ore "eclectic wiccan" was a thing back in 1997....partly because we were afraid to get flamed by Gardnarians. lol
