Heather Denise Botting, née Harden, born 21 September 1948, is a professor of anthropology at the University of Victoria in British Columbia. The original high priestess of Coven Celeste, she is a founding elder of the Canadian Aquarian Tabernacle Church〔http://www.aquariantabernaclechurch.org/atc-affiliates-canada〕 and was the first recognized Wiccan chaplain in a public university.〔Douglas Todd, "University of Victoria chaplain marks solstice with pagan rituals," ''Vancouver Sun'', 16 December 2010, http://blogs.vancouversun.com/2010/12/16/pagans-celebrate-solstice-with-yule-rituals/〕
== Early life ==
Heather Harden was born in Newmarket, Ontario of mixed Assiniboine-Sioux and English-Canadian heritage; her paternal grandmother was a Quaker. She was brought up a Jehovah's Witness, living on a small farm on the outskirts of Newmarket, where her parents raised chickens, pigs and ponies. She was heavily involved in 4-H projects and showed the neighbor's Ayrshire cattle. At 14 she was involved in a near-fatal car accident, an experience which was to shape her future university research interests. At 15, she met her future husband, Gary Botting, at a cousin's wedding.〔Heather and Gary Botting, ''The Orwellian World of Jehovah's Witnesses'' (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1984), p. xx〕 Conforming to the instructions of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, the controlling corporation of Jehovah's Witnesses, at high school she opted for the "special commercial" (as opposed to academic) program.〔''The Orwellian World'', p. xx〕 Since their potential union suffered the disapprobation of their respective parents, Heather and Gary eloped in October, 1966—only to discover that nobody had noticed, and it became inconvenient to tell anyone. As a result, they got married a second time, this time publicly, on 1 April 1967 when they realized that "April Fool's Day" fell on a Saturday, thereby generating a self-perpetuating April Fool's joke.〔''The Orwellian World'', p. xxi〕〔Tihemme Gagnon, "Introduction" to ''Streaking! The Collected Poems of Gary Botting'', Miami: Strategic, 2014〕 Only then did Heather return to high school, intent on eventually enrolling in university.
