 Ken
Biles started the journey on his Path, Samhain of 1987, soon after
being introduced to Witchcraft by books loaned to him by a roommate.
After finding out that his first teacher was less than ethical, he
continued his education in Witchcraft through books.
Living
in
Denver, he was introduced to a large
Pagan Community that was quite open, and happy to include newcomers
into their activities (One of the few good things that first teacher
did). As a Solitaire Witch, Ken stayed on the sidelines of the
Community for several years, until a friend asked a favor of him.
Thus
began his
direct involvement in the Denver
Community.
Over the
next
twelve years, he was a member of
staff for Dragonfest, the local Pagan festival. During that time, he
worked his way from running Safety, to coordinating a group of
departments, until in 1998 he was Co-Director of the festival, where it
was his job to run the entire retreat.
In 1999,
members of the festival elected him to a
five year term on the Board of Directors. During his term on the board,
Dragonfest applied for, and received its 501(C)-3 tax free status. In
his last year on the board, he was elected President of the board.
In the
early
90’s, Ken was a major contributor to
one of the first Internet eZines, called The Denver Pentagram. While he
never had a regular column, his articles on Witchcraft and its
social-political ramifications could be found in the Zine most months.
After
The
Denver Pentagram closed shop, Ken
started co-hosting an Internet radio show under his Craft name, Greyhart.
The show was called “Full Circle”, and ran on WPBN (Witchcraft Pagan
Broadcast Network). As an Internet based show, Full Circle had a
world-wide audience, and was eventually syndicated in California. The
show was the very first Pagan show ever, and ran for ten years. By the
time the show ended, it was getting over 6 million hits a month, from
all across the planet.

 While he has been mostly solitaire, Ken has
worked with many Covens over the years. While he has associated himself
with various covens, he has never actually joined any, with two
exceptions. Dragon Heart Coven, he co-founded in the early 1990's, and
Fellowship of The Warrior Mage in 2005, of which he is a founding
member.
Recently
Ken
has been working on giving back to
the Community that has given him so much. He has been active in the
Front Range Pagan Pride Committee, and now runs this informational
website on Witchcraft.
 Ken is also co-author
of the book Invoking The Egyptian Gods, along
with well known artist and author, Judith
Page.
This book is a definitive guide to invoking and working with the
Egyptian Gods, known to the Egyptians as Netaru.
