Kenn Payne

A Pagan Witch of more than 25 years experience, Kenn Payne fell in love with the myths and legends of antiquity at a very young age, particularly those of Ancient Greece. He coveted his mother’s own copy of The Mythic Tarot by Juliet Sharman-Burke & Liz Greene, and eventually it was passed to him as he started exploring Paganism and Witchcraft as a teenager. He has since developed a deep interest and skill in reading Tarot, Runes and Oracle as well as explored varying Pagan Paths including Wicca, Druidry, Asatru and Hellenic Reconstructionism. Kenn's devotion to the Goddess Hekate began almost fifteen years ago, and he has immersed himself in learning as much about her as possible, eventually becoming a founding member, and eventual Torchbearer, and Keybearer for the Covenant of Hekate. He created and acted as the original editor of the Covenant’s ezine, Askei Kataskei. The Oracle of the Hekatean Path is Kenn’s first fully published work, conceived after many years exploration of Hekate’s Mysteries, brought to life by talented artist and friend, Chris Butler. Previously, Kenn has contributed to several anthology titles. For Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Bearing Torches: A Devotional Anthology for Hekate, Unbound: A Devotional Anthology for Artemis (2009), and Out of Arcadia: A Devotional Anthology for Pan (2011). For Moon Books, Paganism 101: An Introduction to Paganism by 101 Pagans (2014), and Naming the God (2022). Kenn currently lives in the Midlands, United Kingdom with his 3 cats, Merlin, Obsidian and Luna. He enjoys good coffee and fine wine, visiting museums, reading, arts & crafts, horror films, ancient history, and listening to an eclectic range of music.
