The twentieth anniversary edition of The Spiral Dance celebrates the crucial role the book has played in the revival of goddess worship in the religious forefront. This bestselling classic is both an unparalleled reference work on the practices and philosophies of witchcraft and a guide to the life-affirming paths through which readers can connect with the goddess to deepen their sense of pride, develop their inner strength, and integrate spirit, body, and soul. Starhawk's brilliant, comprehensive overview of the growth, suppression, and modern resurgence of Wicca as a goddess-worshiping religion has left a lasting impression on feminist spiritual consciousness. In a new introduction, Starhawk reveals how goddess religion and the practice of rituals have adapted and evolved over the past twenty years, reflecting on how these changes have influenced and enriched her original ideas. In a constantly changing world, this invaluable spiritual handbook is more relevant than ever.
