What is CoH membership?
The Covenant of Hekate (CoH) is a diverse community of devotees who share a passion for the Goddess Hekate. In our work, we share a vision of the Goddess Hekate as “Soteira” that is Saviour or Cosmic World Soul. At the same time we maintain our unique diversity of visions and experiences of this multi-faceted Goddess. We acknowledge Hekate’s long and varied history, her many attributions and the many cultures she touched both ancient and modern. Our study and practice is rooted in history. Members however are not required to practice in a prescribed manner, other than what is set out in our Guidelines
Our approach might not suit everyone, so we ask that prospective members read the information presented here and on the rest of the website carefully before applying.
We accept membership applications from individuals who are at least 18 years old at the time of application, have an established relationship with Hekate and who are in sympathy with our goals, which are:
1. To establish an international society through which the history and mysteries of the Goddess Hekate, as the Cosmic World Soul, are studied, shared and experienced.
2. For each member to strive towards fulfilling their full potential in all that they are and all that they aspire towards becoming.
Devotion
The Covenant of Hekate is a very diverse network of devotees who have made a personal commitment to the Goddess Hekate. Some members practice within other established traditions or groups too, and many of our members also practice magic and divination - whereas, for others, their journey with Hekate is focussed entirely on the religious or spiritual aspects. All are welcome.
Members are asked to strive towards imbuing their lives with the 5-Virtues of Hekate. These Virtues were decided on through community discussion, debate, and consensus in 2013 within the Covenant of Hekate:
The Five Virtues
- Compassion
- Courage
- Temperance
- Justice
- Wisdom
