about learning how to detect the currents of life energy or “chi” within and
without and learning simple ways to master them and swim through them as well
as about becoming more effective in magick by using energy more effectively. In
Asian martial arts and medicine there is an old adage: "Chi follows
I" (energy follows intent). This book is about developing a feel for the
energy and developing the intent required to master it. Here is the photo of me from the front cover.</span><br />

I'll be at Convocation (<a href="http://www.convocation.org/">www.convocation.org</a>) teaching from 18-22 February, 2015. Hope to see some of you there.<br />
<br />
I'm happy to announce that in December I got accepted into the faculty of Amber K's <a href="http://www.ardantane.org/">Ardantane School of Magick</a>. I'm looking forward to teaching courses in their syllabus.<br />
<br />
We've got the Motherhouse finished up here in Sandy Hook with three guest rooms so I'm looking forward to doing some teaching here.<br />
<br />
In December I also was elected president of the Sunshine Coast Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. I serve on their national Publications and Communications Committees and I just finished writing a Small Observatories Handbook for them. Readers are checking it over for me now and I hope that it will be published by the RASC later this year. I'm also producing a weekly astronomy show for the Sunshine Coast Centre on Coast Cable called Night Lights. Our first season was very successful and I'm beginning the process of putting together the second season now. Below is a photo of me up on the roof of the observatory we are building in Sechelt, which we hope to have open at the end of May 2015.

My friend and fellow author Diane Morrison has a new book
coming out: The Witch’s Eight Paths of Power</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“In Gerald Gardner's Book of Shadows he writes about
something he calls The Eightfold Way, a list of eight different methods of
performing magick. Using this Eightfold Way as a structural model, Lady Sable
Aradia has created a series of courses designed to teach the contemporary
seeker about the mechanics and techniques of her revised eight paths: intent
trance the craft intoxicants dance and sacred movement blood and breath the
Scourge and the Great Rite With the help of exercises, meditations and
practical magick, any serious student of witchcraft will be able to master
these eight paths to improve their skills, the effectiveness of their magic and
truly live a powerful and magickal life. From spellwork to sex magick to flying
ointments, this extensive workshop-in-a book will bring you back to the basics
to master the advanced art of witchcraft.”</div>

<br />
<br />
Here is the back cover information for Witch Hunts:<br />
<br />
Kerr Cuhulain shares decades of research into the myths and misinformation about paganism in its various forms, which have created problems for pagans trying to worship in public. This work is a valuable resource for groups engaging in public rituals as well as for law enforcement and government agencies working with alternative religious groups. It is a must read for people wanting to educate their families about their pagan beliefs or speak to the press about their spirituality.<br />
<br />
Kerr, an expert on hate crime, exposes the lies, fantasies, and motives of individuals responsible for the "Satanic Panic" of the 80s and 90s, and covers a few "handbooks" that were published by government agencies during this time that disseminated misinformation based on urban legends. Kerr presents accurate information on Wicca and other Pagan beliefs, focusing on the positive aspects of who Pagans are and what their real beliefs and practices are.<br />

<br />
Reviews: "A powerful tool to prevent misunderstandings and misinformation about the esoteric art. I loved the rich details Kerr includes in this work, while keeping it accessible to a new reader. Each time I look through it I learn something new." Christopher Penczak, Author, Teacher, and Co Founder of the Temple of Witchcraft, a 501c non profit.<br />
<br />
"A no nonsense book at what Witchcraft is and is not. This book should be in the library of every law enforcement practitioner, social worker, and anyone who is curious about our religion. Kerr exposes the supposed "Satanic Child Molestation" myths, and helps those just "coming out of the Broom Closet" avoid the mistakes that he has made. As someone who has also "been there" and "done that", this book is a must read." Puck Shadowdrake, author of Magickal Manners: A Guide to Magickal Etiquette.<br />

I am now waiting for author copies of my new book The Wizard: The Story of the First Pagan Cop to go Public About His Pagan Beliefs.Kerr Cuhulainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15194313206751515637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422048633986935466.post-8402687388559036612014-06-24T07:31:00.000-07:002014-07-23T10:18:06.999-07:00The Wizard<div class="MsoNormal">
In 1977 I was sworn in as a peace officer in
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. When I eventually came out about my Wiccan beliefs, being the first Wiccan cop to do so, I spent the next three
decades of my law enforcement career battling prejudice, gossip, threats,
being accused of bizarre acts, being under surveillance, surviving repeated
investigations by the police called the “Wicca File”, ending up a detective and
an expert in hate crimes against minority religions. This is my story, which I originally wrote in 2004, about a year before I retired. Now that I've been retired almost a year I've revised it and put it out there for you to see. It will soon be available from Dark Moon Press.</div>

Nine months ago I came to a decision that serving the
community as a peace officer and a police dispatcher for 36 years was enough. We
staged our house and sold it a few months later. Six months ago I finally
retired from law enforcement and a few weeks later I moved to Sandy Hook on the
Sunshine Coast. It is a beautiful quiet place that has definitely allowed me
healing. I’ve taken what time I could from unpacking and setting up house to do
just that. There were a lot of things to do: Finishing an enormous basement
room, renovating bathrooms and kitchen, reclaiming a yard neglected for about
two years by the previous owner due to illness and other issues. </div>

I had a simple hobby telescope as a kid and I’d always
wanted to get back into amateur astronomy. A few days after the house sold I
purchased a brand new Schmidt Cassegrain reflector telescope and joined the Sunshine
Coast chapter of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. Last month I became their
media director and part of the observatory committee. Our RASC chapter is
building an observatory at the Sechelt airport and I’ve participated in work
crews to see this happen.</div>

Back in 2005 I retired from the Vancouver Police Department
to become a civilian police dispatcher for VPD at ECOMM for Southwestern BC.
The plan was for me to work a few years to pay off the mortgage and then retire
completely from law enforcement in order to pursue my writing full time. Then
the economy went pear shaped, prices went up, the number of shifts went down,
and my finish line started to slide further into the distance. Stress was
taking its toll on me and I started to reassess what I was doing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At the end of April 2013 I made a decision: Sell the house,
move to a cheaper house in Sechelt, BC, and retire as soon as possible. I know
that I startled a lot of people with the sudden news of my impending retirement
and move. My wife and I succeeded in achieving this, with me retiring in July
2013 and moving to the new home at the beginning of August. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This was a big readjustment, and for months I’ve been
packing, staging, unpacking, renovating, and otherwise establishing a new life
for myself. Retiring was the best decision I’ve made in a while: I’ve
experienced much needed healing. Unfortunately, due to the aforementioned
necessities of re-establishing our home, I’ve not been able to spend any time
writing. I’d accepted this as part of the plan before I started packing. It’s
taken a bit longer than I’d hoped (as is often the case in life), but I’m now
about to get going on that writing. I never viewed this change as a retirement.
Rather, I saw it as a change in profession to full time writer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
So stay tuned. I’ve got the third book in my sword and
sorcery Purification Trilogy nearly done and hope to have it out in November,
and I’m already forming the ideas for a new paranormal romance trilogy. </div>

Dear Friends:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It has been a very stressful month for many within the Order
of Scáthach and the Pagan community. People dealing with loss of family, with
loss of jobs, with illness. It was a very poignant Yule this year, with people
supporting one another. I’ve seen some sterling examples of how to deal with
these stresses. One of our members cleaned out her mother’s kitchen after her
passing and brought the food in to distribute to less fortunate within our
ranks, thereby turning tragedy into triumph. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m now completed Ailchú’s Prophecy, the second book book of

Dear Friends:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
More than 4 decades ago I started down this spiritual path.
In the Lower Mainland in those days the Pagan community was invisible:
Virtually unseen. Truly "occult". Did you know that the word
"occult" means "hidden"? There was no internet. Contacts
were made from obscure notices left on book store cork boards. There were few
books available. People gathered in secret, in darkness, looking over their
shoulders, fearful of how those in the community would perceive them due to the
massive amount of misinformation in circulation. Wicca and other Pagan
religions were recognized by no level of government. Pagans gathered in secret
circles, put up magickal walls to fence out negativity, called on the guardians
of the quarters to protect and shield them, called on their deities to aid
them, all of them turning away from the light.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the early 90s I travelled to the Memphis, Tennessee, area
to help a group of less than 2 dozen struggling Pagans establish themselves as
a legal religious entity in a hostile environment. In one public talk in
Jonesboro, Arkansas, I required 2 bodyguards, body armor, and he entire police
department in the front row to survive. The next morning an 18 year old named
Charles Taylor asked my advice on becoming a police officer in Tennessee. He
was already public about his Wiccan beliefs. At my talk at the Memphis Police
Academy I was approached surreptitiously by 2 officers who whispered to me that
they were Wiccan and all but ran away. Like a flower, trying to turn their
faces to the light.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A few months later I travelled to Heartland Festival outside
Leavenworth, Kansas. Again, a small group of people struggling to establish
themselves, having signed the mortgage for 136 acres, hoping to create a Pagan
sanctuary, fearful of the reaction of the local populace. 80 percent of the
people that showed up for that festival called themselves Pagan because they
drank until they fell face down. The organizers hoped for something better.
Trying to turn their faces to the light.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A year ago I was invited to Lackland Air Force Base in Texas
to conduct an Armoring ritual such as the one our Order is presenting later
today. 400 men and women in uniform attended that ritual. All of them turning
their faces to the sun.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Three months ago I returned to Memphis. I was picked up at
the airport by Charles Taylor. Remember the 18 year old that wanted to be a
cop? He was now Captain Taylor, a proud Pagan cop. He took me to meet the group
that I remembered from decades earlier. They'd grown to 250 people, 3 generations,
many of them legal clergy from 8 established Wiccan churches recognized right
to the Supreme Court level. Several attendees were active Pagan military
proudly wearing their religion on their dog tags. Every single person there
turning their faces to the sun.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Two weeks later I returned to Heartland Festival. The
original group had grown to 650 people, 3 generations, many of them legal Pagan
clergy, many of them proud Pagans who had defended their country in the armed
services. Their mortgage on their land at Gaia Retreat Center is now paid off,
as of this month. Not a drunk in sight. You couldn't point your finger at a
single person including children and say they weren't full committed to this
spiritual path, all of them turning their faces to the sun.</div>

I’ve just become a volunteer Wiccan chaplain for Providence
Health Care in Vancouver (St. Paul’s, St. Vincent’s, and Mount St. Joseph’s

The first two books (Dark Water and Dark Fire) of my Dark
Man paranormal romance trilogy are out both as e books (Smashwords.com) and
print on demand books (Amazon Createspace): I’ve written them under the
pseudonym Carrie Bryce. I’m about 49,000 words into the third book which I hope
will be out this summer. You can check it out at my <a href="http://carriebrycewriting.wordpress.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Carrie Bryce blog</span></a>. Once
that’s done I’ll turn my attention to finishing the second book of my
Purification Trilogy, a sword and sorcery trilogy which I’ve written under my
mundane name, C. A. Ennis. The first book is Fionúir’s Mural and the second
will be Eluned’s Apprentice. You can check it out at my <a href="http://caennis.wordpress.com/"><span style="color: blue;">C. A. Ennis Fantasy Blog</span></a>. </div>

since the 17th century. Their ancestor Katherine defeated an unwanted suitor
and the sorcerer that was his accomplice, in doing so trapping the demon the

tragedy finally brings these 3 women together to fulfill their ancestor's
prophecy that her descendants would one day defeat the Dark Man. But fate has
brought them face to face with descendants of both their ancestor's suitor and
his sorcerer, and the final battle for domination looms. They must decipher the
meaning of the prophecy and use it to survive. In Taming the Tides Bea
discovers her gift and her place in the prophecy with the help of her
grandmother, aunt and cousin. It is about Bea learning to use her power to free
herself from her family’s designs and the Dark Man. She must succeed to protect

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
As I mentioned in my previous Sabbat update, I tried to send
out Sabbat greetings as I’ve been doing for years using my Telus e mail
account, but for the last few months it hasn’t allowed me to do this. I keep
getting messages telling me “too many recipients per hour.” After working fine
for years, now Telus tech support is telling me that even though nothing has
changed in their system, I can now only send mail to 10 people at a time. So
I’m posting my Imbolc greetings here.<o:p> </o:p></div>

Just a reminder to anyone interested in studying with us in
the Order of Scáthach: We’ve changed our mentoring system so people who want to
study with us can check out our mentors on line at our training blog and choose
one to work with. We’re also doing Skype conference calls twice monthly for our
on line students to improve their learning experience: I’ll be hosting one
session and Lady Devenir will be hosting the other. I’ve had some fabulous
Skype sessions with on line students so far. Of course, if you're living here

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
I tried to send out Sabbat greetings as I’ve been doing for
years using my Telus e mail account, but for the last two months it hasn’t
allowed me to do this. I keep getting messages telling me “too many recipients
per hour.” After working fine for years, now Telus tech support is telling me
that even though nothing has changed in their system, I can now only send mail
to 10 people at a time. So I’m posting my Yule greetings here.<o:p> </o:p></div>

We’ve got a new steel roof going on to replace the old asphalt

My old friend and fellow author Dr. Shelley Rabinovitch, who
teaches at the university of Ottawa, was here for our Yule ritual last night.
Actually there were two Yules: One was a relatively standard Yule which
included a Wiccaning for the many children that arrived in the lives of knights
of the Order this past year, and the other was a ritual focussing on the
Microcosm: Awakening the Light Within. You can check them out on the rituals
page at the Order of Scáthach training blog: <a href="http://dunscathach.wordpress.com/rituals/"><span style="color: blue;">http://dunscathach.wordpress.com/rituals/</span></a><o:p> </o:p></div>

<o:p> </o:p>This has been a very productive writing year for me:<o:p> </o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
The first print run of my book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pagan Religions: A Manual for Diversity Training</i>, the updated
version of my original book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Law
Enforcement Guide to Wicca</i>,<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>has
sold out and the publisher has announced a reprint. It is available for sale
at: <a href="http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Pagan-Religions-Manual-Diversity-Training-Kerr-Cuhulain/9780971005068-item.html?cookieCheck=1"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Pagan-Religions-Manual-Diversity-Training-Kerr-Cuhulain/9780971005068-item.html?cookieCheck=1</span></a><o:p> </o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
I’ve just released a new book of self empowerment: <a href="https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/94453"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: blue;">How To Be Glorious: Day By Day Empowerment</span></i></a>. This book is the
next step in the the cycle begun with my earlier Llewellyn books on Warrior
philosophy<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">, Wiccan Warrior,</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Full Contact Magick</i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Magickal Self Defense</i>, and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Modern Knighthood</i>. The tremendous
interest in the daily affirmations that I post on Twitter, Facebook, Google+,
got me thinking about a book for the general public on self empowerment and
personal power and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">How to be Glorious</i>
is the result. It’s about taking charge of your life instead of letting your
life take charge of you. It’s available as an e book from Smashwords and as a
print on demand book from Amazon.com.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
My new book <a href="http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/34975"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: blue;">Modern Knighthood: Unleashing Your Inner Power to Master Yourself and
the World</span></i></a> has been out on Smashwords.com since December as an e book,
but now it is out as a print on demand book at Amazon.com.<o:p> </o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
The other book, which is published under my mundane name,
Charles Ennis, is <a href="http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/36267"><span style="color: blue;">Ancient
Recipes for Modern Kitchens.</span></a> This is a collection of ancient recipes
adapted for the modern kitchen, organized into the 8 Sabbat seasons and presented
with a brief description of their history. The oldest recipe in there is over
6,000 years old. If you’re looking for recipes for your Esbat or Sabbat, this
is the book for you. This is a Smashwords e book and a print on demand book
from Amazon.<o:p> </o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
And on the subject of cooking, I’ve got a new recipe blog
now too: <a href="http://cauldronandchalice.wordpress.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Cauldron and

Just a reminder to anyone interested in studying with us in
the Order of Scáthach: We’ve changed our mentoring system so people who want to
study with us can check out our mentors on line at our training blog and choose
one to work with. We’re also doing Skype conference calls twice monthly for our
on line students to improve their learning experience: I’ll be hosting one
session and Lady Devenir will be hosting the other. Of course, if you're living
here in British Columbia or in one of the other locations that we have
preceptories, you can train with us face to face. The Preceptories in the Lower
Mainland include:<o:p> </o:p></div>

We’ve been taping lessons to put on the training blog and
this led us to create our own YouTube channel. All of the lessons of the Order
of Scathach’s training cycle have been uploaded as mini video lessons now: You
can visit them through the links on our training blog or go direct to our new
YouTube Channel, “Order of Scathach Videos: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/goibhniu13?feature=mhum"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.youtube.com/user/goibhniu13?feature=mhum</span></a>

On November 6 the Order of Scathach conducted the service for the South Fraser Unitarian Congregation in Surrey. It was very well received. We were subsequently invited to participate in the formation of a Surrey Interfaith Council at a meeting at the Surrey Central Library on November 16. I attended with Lady Janus and it was a very productive meeting.Kerr Cuhulainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15194313206751515637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422048633986935466.post-60657986299416742872011-11-20T07:29:00.001-08:002011-11-20T07:30:52.563-08:00My new book, How to Be Glorious, just came out in print on demand version on Amazon:<br />

I had a fabulous time at the Sacred Well Congregation’s
convention in San Antonio, Texas, on the weekend of October 13 – 16 teaching
classes and conducting an Armoring ritual. I also gave a class and conducted an
Armoring ritual for over 300 young men and women in basic training for the USAF
at Lackland Air Force Base. As a result of this weekend I’ve agreed to help the
Sacred Well Congregation sponsor a Preceptory of the Order of Scathach in that
area, so if any of you are in that area and would like to be part of it, please
let me know. You can check out SWC at <a href="http://swciic.sacredwell.org/"><span style="color: blue;">http://swciic.sacredwell.org/</span></a><o:p> </o:p></div>

I’ve just released a new book of self empowerment: <a href="https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/94453"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: blue;">How To Be Glorious: Day By Day Empowerment</span></i></a>. This book is the
next step in the the cycle begun with my earlier Llewellyn books on Warrior
philosophy<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">, Wiccan Warrior,</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Full Contact Magick</i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Magickal Self Defense</i>, and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Modern Knighthood</i>. The tremendous
interest in the daily affirmations that I post on Twitter, Facebook, Google+,
got me thinking about a book for the general public on self empowerment and
personal power and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">How to be Glorious</i>
is the result. It’s about taking charge of your life instead of letting your
life take charge of you. It’s available as an e book from Smashwords and will
be available very soon as a print on demand book from Amazon.com.<o:p> </o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
My new book <a href="http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/34975"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: blue;">Modern Knighthood: Unleashing Your Inner Power to Master Yourself and
the World</span></i></a> has been out on Smashwords.com since December as an e book,
but now it is out as a print on demand book at Amazon.com.<o:p> </o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
The other book, which is published under my mundane name,
Charles Ennis, is <a href="http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/36267"><span style="color: blue;">Ancient
Recipes for Modern Kitchens.</span></a> This is a collection of ancient recipes
adapted for the modern kitchen, organized into the 8 Sabbat seasons and
presented with a brief description of their history. The oldest recipe in there
is over 6,000 years old. If you’re looking for recipes for your Esbat or
Sabbat, this is the book for you. This is a Smashwords e book.<o:p> </o:p></div>

Just a reminder to anyone interested in studying with us in
the Order of Scáthach: We’ve changed our mentoring system so people who want to
study with us can check out our mentors on line at our training blog and choose
one to work with. We’re also doing Skype conference calls twice monthly for our
on line students to improve their learning experience: I’ll be hosting one
session and Lady Devenir will be hosting the other. Of course, if you're living
here in British Columbia or in one of the other locations that we have
preceptories, you can train with us face to face. The Preceptories in the Lower
Mainland include:<o:p> </o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Here’s a challenge for my many friends: The knights of my Order all compose an “I Am” statement, a single sentence that summarizes their power, their self image. When several knights recite them in sequence, they become the "Song of Scathach" (check out more about this on our training blog <a href="http://dunscathach.wordpress.com/rituals/">rituals page</a>). My “I Am” is: “I am the sudden silence of the midnight forest.” What’s your’s?</div>Kerr Cuhulainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15194313206751515637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422048633986935466.post-34483057952527646562011-07-05T16:30:00.001-07:002011-07-05T16:30:43.075-07:00Kerr Comes to InFest in Ottawa<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKEXLQ94dXqSpBVIlbHFEXgC3C6ii7eY25mFYtbMEFU6Cq-w7HOAfYvYT1Li_r_RORwtYJKkXPQz_uqxU5-FCosRFNRlw3N_JPJFgYI8e8qIp9mYd0qslYeiGZadRfmtRWMc8piUtzsy8/s1600/Kerr+Cuhulain+069.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKEXLQ94dXqSpBVIlbHFEXgC3C6ii7eY25mFYtbMEFU6Cq-w7HOAfYvYT1Li_r_RORwtYJKkXPQz_uqxU5-FCosRFNRlw3N_JPJFgYI8e8qIp9mYd0qslYeiGZadRfmtRWMc8piUtzsy8/s320/Kerr+Cuhulain+069.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
