The way everyone first read - or was told to read - Starhawk's Spiral Dance in the 80s when seeking Witchcraft books, well, this is the book everyone I know suggests today. It's ALWAYS one of the main books used in my WC apprenticeships. The part about quantum physics is great at explaining magic; I like that the energy of the Universe is Divine Love and not neutral as other books say; the reasons for getting rid of the scare tactics of the 3 fold law are amazing (getting rid of all poorly understood Eastern faith concepts would be even better for anyone, Witch or not); and it sure is nice to have a Witch writer who is a high powered lawyer and into rock concerts! Not all of us go to ren fairs and work at goth comic book stores or live on communes and practice Reiki!
