Pronuncation: AH-jah [{Image src='Pronunciation/soundbut.gif' link='Wiki.jsp?page=Pronunciation/ajah.wav]
All Aes Sedai except the Amrylin Seat belong to an Ajah. Each follows a specific philosophy of the use of the [One Power] and the purposes of the Aes Sedai. There are seven official Ajahs, each designated by a color. The eighth, unofficial Ajah, is the [Black Ajah].
Each Ajah has its own organization and communications network including a spy network called the eyes-and-ears. Curiously, the head of each Ajah is a closely guarded secret within the Ajah and the Ajah head is typically not a [Sitter|../organizations/aes_sedai/sitters].

## [TEotW,Ch9] - Aes Sedai do not lie, but the truth they tell you is not always the truth you think it is.
## [TEotW,Ch7] - There is a saying that help from an Aes Sedai is worse than no help at all. Their gifts always have a hook in them. They are puppeteers who pull strings and make thrones and nations dance.
## [TEotW,Ch16] - Touching the [True Source] offers protection from the Shadow. Aes Sedai can also spread this protection to those in close proximity. It also allows them to sense the presence of [Shadowspawn].
## [TEotW,Ch21] - The Aes Sedai search for girls who can [channel|True Source] both to increase *their ranks and to save the girls from [channeling|True Source] sickness.

## [TGH,Ch4] - Four of the last five Amyrlin Seats were raised from the [Blue Ajah].
## [TGH,Ch5] - Only two Amyrlin Seats were ever removed from office, both of them from the [Red Ajah]. Both their replacements were raised from the [Blue Ajah]. There has not been an Amyrlin Seat from the [Red Ajah] since [Bonwhin|Bonwhin Meraighdin] during [Artur Hawkwing]'s reign.

## [LoC,Ch37] - In total, there are less than a thousand Aes Sedai.
## [LoC,Ch39] - [Siuan|Siuan Sanche] finally teaches [Egwene], [Elayne] and [Nynaeve] the trick of ignoring heat and cold. It has nothing to do with the [One Power] at all. It is just a matter of concentrating in a certain way.
## [LoC,Ch43] - Strength in the [One Power], then time in training, then age play roles in determining the pecking order among Aes Sedai.
