The Wizard

by Kerr Cuhulain

In 1977 Kerr was sworn in as a young peace officer in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. When he eventually came out about his Wiccan beliefs, being the first Wiccan cop to do so, he spent the next three decades of his 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 respected expert in hate crimes against minority religions. This is his story.

About the author

I’ve been a Wiccan for 47 years and was involved in anti-defamation activism and hate crimes investigation for the Pagan community from 1986 to 2005. I am the author of the Law Enforcement Guide to Wicca, Witch Hunts, Wiccan Warrior, Full Contact Magick, Magickal Self Defense, Pagan Religions: A Handbook for Diversity Training, Modern Knighthood, How To Be Glorious, and Stand Like a Tree. I am the co author of a safety book for social workers and nurses: Safe Approach. I am also the author of Ancient Recipes for Modern Kitchens, a cookbook of ancient recipes. I’ve written a paranormal romance trilogy (as Carrie Bryce), the Dark Man Trilogy (Dark Water, Dark Fire, Dark Storm) as well as a swords and sorcery fantasy Purification Trilogy (as C. A. Ennis), which includes Fionúir’s Mural. Ailchu's Prophecy and Cathal's Seer.
I was the former Preceptor General of Officers of Avalon, an organization representing Neo-Pagan professionals in the emergency services (police, firefighters, emergency medical technicians). I retired from the Vancouver Police Department in November 2005 after serving 29 years with them. I went on to be a police dispatcher and trainer for ECOMM for Southwestern BC, finally retiring from law enforcement in 2013.
I am the founder of a Wiccan order of Knighthood called the Order of Paladins in Sechelt, British Columbia. The Order of Paladins embraces the Warrior philosophies, precepts and code of chivalry outlined in my books. I am on the faculty of the Ardantane School of Magick.
I am now the National Secretary of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada and author of their book Building a Small Observatory.
