3 unusual facts about Coven Celeste


Coven Celeste

Since Heather Botting's initiation by Turner in 1966, the coven has remained matrilineal, with the Bottings' granddaughters Phaydra and Ariadne Gagnon inheriting the athame as high priestesses.

The seed of Coven Celeste was planted in the summer of 1966 when Heather Botting met her prospective husband's maternal grandmother, Lysbeth Turner (née Rendle) (1896-1968), the younger sister of Thomas Edward Rendle VC, the first British infantryman to receive the Victoria Cross in the First World War.

Heather Botting taught "Witchcraft and the Occult" at Red Deer College.
