Hi,
Phyllis . I think it's *The Spiral Dance* by Starhawk -- not *The Sacred Dance*. Although I could be wrong, as I'm sure I don't have every book on the Wiccan movement in my personal collection. :) I picked up a 1979 first-edition of Starhawk's book back in the early 80s. I agree with you that Starhawk is definitely one of the people to recommend on the subject of neopaganism.
I never got around to reading
Margot Adler's *Drawing Down the Moon*. Interesting that this book was first published in the same year as Starhawk's. 1979 must've been a dawning year for the neopaganism movement in America.
