The Spiral Dance

Starhawk's 1979 book on goddess-centered witchcraft blends ritual, magic, feminist spirituality and ecological concern. Drawing on the Feri tradition and her own practice, it offers exercises, rituals, chants and theological reflection, and it became a founding text of the Reclaiming tradition. The book helped shape feminist and environmentalist currents within modern paganism and is important for understanding how witchcraft became linked with political and ecological activism in the late twentieth century.
