Ellen Cannon Reed (21 March 1943 - 7 October 2003) was the most widely known priestess of the Isian Tradition of Witchcraft. She lived in Southern California and wrote widely (most famously the book The Witches' Qabalah). She was also the founder of the Internet Relay Chat Channel #witchcraft on Undernet.org network. She was married to Christopher Reed, with whom she did not have any children. Ellen and her husband Chris ran an annual Pagan gathering called "Pacific Circle" every summer for over 20 years at the Bandido Group Campground, Angeles National Forest in the hills high above Los Angeles; later it was moved to Gold Creek Ranch in Sunland, California. She had begun work on a companion volume to Pagansong, but it unfortunately remained incomplete at the time of her death. She died on October 7, 2003 from leukemia.
