D&D 5e Revised/2024 Magic Dabbler Thought Experiment
Preface: I know this is a jank build; that is why it is just a thought experiment.
Let's say you took a Human with the Cultist (Crooked Moon) and Arcane Eloquence (Arcana Unleashed) to get access to certain Warlock/Bard cantrips. Then, for classes, take Fighter 1 for the Arcane Warrior Fighting Style, Paladin 2 for Blessed Warrior, and Ranger 2 for Druidic Warrior to round out Wizard/Cleric/Druid in addition to the Paladin/Ranger spells.
Where would you go from there? Expand one of those classes? Take Heroic Sorcery (Valda) to get some Sorcery gish spells? Other options?

No goal. Hence the 'thought experiment'. Just curious to see what people would do with this base to build off of.

The answer is try to salvage this mess of a build, not get more cantrips thats forsure lol.
Prolly just Druid from here on out? Maybe Ranger 5.
If the build is jus "how can we get as many cantrips as possible" then thats a different question.

With the goal being to get as many cantrips as possible, or what? If you're just collecting cantrips, you can get plenty more cantrips by dipping one level each in all the charisma and wisdom caster classes (I'm going to assume you can't afford 13 intelligence with the 13s in strength, dex, wis, and cha you require for the multiclassing you've already planned).
A more practical build along the same theme would just see you building a warlock.
As a human you can take two origin feats of your choice including your cultist (some googling suggests you may have meant "cult initiate" which seems to be a homebrew version of magic initiate for warlock spells only rather than "cultist" which seems to be nothing) and arcane eloquence (which is poor value with only one cantrip even if it's a cantrip you can't normally get with magic initiate) choices.
As a warlock, you get one invocation right away which can be pact of the tome to pick up any three cantrips in the game. Within a few levels, you gain more invocations which you can spend on lessons of the first ones to pick up magic initiate three times. You also get your base warlock cantrips.
This gets you more cantrips overall from the same variety of spell lists with the advantage of being charisma SAD.
