"A driving thirst for Knowledge is the forerunner of Wisdom. Knowledge is a state that all life possesses. Wisdom is the reward of the Spirit, gained in the search for Knowledge."  "Robert Cochrane"  Coven Ashesh-Hekat is a Celtic/Eclectic Coven with it's roots in the 1734 Tradition. The Coven was founded on April 12, 1986 by four Initiates of three 1734 Covens. It is composed of a very diverse group of people.  Initiates of the Coven spring from a variety of backgrounds, ranging from Ceremonial Magick to Feminist Thealogy. All share a mutual interest in study, research and personal growth. Main topics of research include (but are not limited to) Celtic Custom, Folklore and Mythology, the History of the Craft in the US and Britain and the growth and development of the 1734 Tradition in the US.   Coven Ashesh-Hekat practices a three degree system, celebrates Moons and Festivals and is devoted to the Ethic: "An' It Harm None, Do What Ye Will". The group is active in the Southern California Community and several of its members have served the Covenant of the Goddess as Officers, both on a Local and National level. There are currently eleven members.
