This is the story of a journey, its authors movement from a place of despair to one of action. It is meant to start the reader on a similar path from the numbness and hopelessness often felt in the face of racist and sexist violence, poverty and unemployment, chemical spills, and the threat of nuclear annihilation to an internal sense of strength and knowledge. It is ultimately a message of hope and optimism, for Starhawk shares not only of vision but tools for personal empowerment, building a community, and the transformation of culture.

Provides us with well-tested tools for trying to change our reality. Starhawk's example serves to show us that we are NOT powerless. ( )

I don't believe the magic stuff, of course, but I like her sincerity with her politics, and I found her religious faith touching rather than repulsive (except for the magic parts). ( )

A very interesting book, and relevant to our times. A discussion of how magic and spirituality can come together with activism and politics. ( )
