5.0 out of 5 stars Witchcraft from a spiritual and community-based stance, 21 Jun 2001
By Mrs. Rebecca Jane Holton "Rebecca Holton" (West Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Spiral Dance: A Rebirth of the Ancient Religion of the Great Goddess (Paperback)
This is an excellent book. It is very condensed and Starhawk crams so much in. It is very coven based, but I didn't find this a problem, even as a confirmed solitary. Starhawk is a very visual person which fitted in with me very well. Most of her exercises are visually based. For a beginner I would recommend reading this book and another less concentrated one at the same time. I found that I sometimes had to take breaks from it for a day just to let my thoughts gel and settle. If you are a tentative beginner then some of the exercises in this book may feel rather like throwing yourself off a cliff. They are worth it though, despite having to screw your courage up into a ball before beginning them. On the subject of eco-feminism, I personally think this is as relevant now as it was when the book was written so I liked her tone of voice. 5 stars! - oh yes, this is a fab book!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Goddess is alive and kicking, 1 Jun 1998
By A Customer
If you know anything about Wicca, you probably know that the way a lot of people begin on this religious path is by reading The Spiral Dance. Most seekers are told to read it - and for good reason. In this book, Starhawk recognizes the God and Goddess and gives a complete description of the way witches worship. It is my opinion that it is impossible to go away from this book unchanged. Even if you do not accept her teachings or the God and Goddess, you will find that you can never look at the seasonal changes and moon phases the same way again. This is because she does a wonderful job of showing the seeker the Wiccan world view. Starhawk's prose and poetry brings the spirits of nature to life and inspires the seeker to call out to them as well as the moon, the sun, the earth and everything in it as we reclaim our Father and Mother of pagan heritage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 10 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Spiral Dance: A Rebirth of the Ancient Religion of the Great Goddess (Paperback)
This is an incredible book. It goes into far more depth than most books on the subject and beginners may find it a bit tricky to read. It is however, one of the best books I've ever read. It made me see the world in a different way.
