DescriptionFeaturing narrative, chants, songs, and rituals, Dreaming the Dark (100,000 copies sold) brilliantly combines the world of magic and spirituality with the world of political and social change.The ancient religion of the Goddess offers a transforming power that could heal the spiritual and political split between individual and society.In Dreaming the Dark, Starhawk, the witch, brings her mystic gifts to the burning social concerns of the day. The world and everything in it is alive and filled with energy, she tells us. Through understanding this energy, we can create immanence, or power from within, to replace a tradition of power over others that has only led to the societal breakdown, exploitation of nature and the denial of our deepest, richest sexuality.Dreaming the Dark is Starhawk’s best book; it offers myths of fulfillment, rituals of healing, an unusual but perhaps ultimately pragmatic cultural perspective, & a vision for survival & growth. –The Bloomsbury Reviewvintage occult – 1987
