I would recommend this book highly to anyone interested in the Occult Arts then Starhawk's unique approach to Goddess worship is almost poetic. She recounts experiences with her San Francisco coven that shed a very creative and pure light on Wicca. Most of the books that are available to the curious or those studying the Craft are chock full of correspondence charts, numerology, astrology, herbalism (all very excellent fields and thorough resources on any of them are indespensible); mostly left-brained cut and dried facts that leave no room for interpretation or expansion. The Spiral Dance, however, is a much more meditative work, allowing the reader to create a world within themselves that will allow true Magick to flourish. If you are tired of books that are all spin-offs of the same novice theory and practice and you feel ready to delve into more intermediate realms of the spiritual, this book is for you.
