Spiral Dance?
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.

Mea culpa, mea culpa. It is *The Spiral Dance* by Starhawk. I shoulda known since it is one of my textbooks.
As for neopaganism, it was around since the early part of the '70s, but mostly underground. I guess that 1979 was theyear it became "acceptable". I'll try to find a copy of the interview I have with one of Starhawk's teachers. He's been considered eccentric even among neopagans.

Cool deal! :) One thing I especially enjoyed in Starhawk's book, was her description of the "Taking Back the Night" ceremony held in San Francisco .
Isn't it interesting that so much of what is considered "New Age" today seems to have sprung out of San Francisco ? I mean, there was the hippy movement, and of course Anton LaVey was a San Franciscan. I sometimes wonder if San Francisco might be America's equivalent of Glastonbury -- which I found to be the New Age Mecca of England when I visited there.
I'll bet there's a ley line connecting both towns, or something. ;)
