Miguel Conner is the host of Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio, a premiere occult podcast that brings ancient mysteries to a modern meaning, especially the forbidden wisdom of the Gnostics. For more than 10 years, he has interviewed some of the best and brightest in Gnostic and religious studies, as well as Western Esoterica and alternative history, including Bart Ehrman, Elaine Pagels, Karen King, Tim Freke, and many more. In 2006, Conner participated in an ayahuasca ceremony and changed  from being an open-minded Catholic to a full-blown Gnostic heretic, all mostly due to a vision of a forgotten Gnostic deity. He is the author of the critically acclaimed Voices of Gnosticism and Other Voices of Gnosticism (Bardic Press) and the post-apocalyptic vampire epic series, The Dark Instinct Trilogy (Warner Books/AB Press), as well as the fantasy novel, The Executioner’s Daughter (Solstice Publishing). His articles and fiction have appeared in such publications as The Gnostic Journal, The Heretic, Mindscape, Reality Sandwich, The Cimmerian Journal and many others. He has lectured/appeared at such events as The Golden Dawn, Mythicist Milwaukee, the Alan Eisenberg Show (AM 1400 WRJN), Magick Radio (AM 1680 Chicago), Runesoup, Skeptiko, Southern Belle Humanism and The Gnostic Countercultures Conference at Rice University.
