About the Author

Edain became a self-initiated Witch in 1981 and has been an active part of the Pagan community since her formal initiation into a large San Antonio coven in 1983.  Edain has researched alternative spiritualities since her teens, when she was first introduced to Kaballah, or Jewish mysticism.  Since that time, she has studied a variety of magickal paths including Celtic, Appalachian folk magick, and Curanderismo, a Mexican-American folk tradition.  Today, Edain is part of the Wittan Irish Pagan tradition, where she is a priestess of Brighid and an elder.  

An alumnus of the University of Texas with a BA in history, she is affiliated with several professional writer's organizations and occasionally presents workshops on magickal topics or works individually with students who wish to study Witchcraft.

This former woodwind player for the Lynchburg (VA) Symphony claims both the infamous feuding McCoy family of Kentucky and Sir Roger Williams, the seventeeth-century religious dissenter, as branches on her ethnically diverse family tree.  In her "real life," Edain works as a licensed stockbroker.

Edain is the author of fifteen books, including Bewitchments; Enchantments; and her most recent release, Ostara: Customs, Spells & Rituals for the Rites of Spring.

More About the Author

Edain McCoy has written more than twenty books on metaphysical and occult topics since she was first published in 1993. Her popular titles include Celtic Women's Spirituality, Astral Projection For Beginners, How to Do Automatic Writing, Karmic & Past Life Tarot, The Sabbats, Advanced Witchcraft, If You Want to Be a Witch (Llewellyn Worldwide), and The Healing Power of Faery (Adams Media).

An alumnus of the University of Texas with a B.A. in history, she is currently pursuing a Master of Fine Arts at Butler University. She is affiliated with several professional organizations including the Authors Guild and the American Translators Association. She is listed in the reference guides Contemporary Authors, Who's Who Among American Women, and Who's Who In America, and her articles have appeared in Fate, Circle, Enlightenments, and similar periodicals.

Edain held positions related to education including handscoring standardized testing, substitute teaching, music education, and private tutoring. She spent many years as a licensed stockbroker and financial advisor for several international investment firms before making the leap of faith into her first love--writing full time. In 2006 she was granted a Certificate in Paranormal Investigation from Flamel College, an online institute devoted to training leaders and scientists who study various aspects of the occult. This training assisted her and her expatriate friends in Argentina (visit them at www.TangoWithJudy.com) to investigate haunted sites that have been, and continue to be, denied to other investigators. In December 2008 she completed her studies to become a Reiki Master of the Usui-Rand linage, an intuitive healing art that is still opening new doors to both spirit and spirituality.

She often gives workshops on metaphysical and New Age topics, and has taught the art of guided mediation to many students eager to use this technique for spiritual exploration. Pagan festivals energize her spiritually because she says she learns something wonderful from every person she meets.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can do that!, June 16, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Do Automatic Writing (Llewellyn's How to) (Paperback)
This book is the ultimate for learning the divination oracle called automatic writing. Nothing worked for me until I tried McCoy's book, and I was not even half way through with it when I had the thrill of feeling my hands move and write without my conscious participation. This book offers everything needed - and much more - for learning this art. If you can't do it after reading this, then you can't do it

5.0 out of 5 stars A highly recommended book, June 6, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Do Automatic Writing (Llewellyn's How to) (Paperback)
This book is an awesome introduction to the subject. Automatic writing is the art of "contacting other intelligences through the use of a pen and paper while in an altered state of consciousness." This book answers many commonly asked questions about this divinatory art, while offering many different techniques to make it work for you. McCoy explains the power of the planets, planetary hours, and colours in the zodiac in her chapter on automatic writing and astrology.

In the next chapter, one of the most important in the book, the author explains proper methods of breathing, meditation,and the chakras. The next section deals with actually doing automatic writing. McCoy describes many different methods of attempting this art, and offers tips for the event that you don't succeed. Finally, she offers some basic interpretations of some common symbols used in automatic writing. A glossary rounds out the book.

All in all, this is a great introduction to a subject often referred to but rarely described. If you are interested in this easy yet accurate form of divination and communication, be sure to get this book as a starting point.
