A writer, activist, and witch, Starhawk is the author, most recently, of The Fifth Sacred Thing and Walking to Mercury. She lives in San Francisco.
Dreaming the Dark is [Starhawk's] best book; it offers myths of
fulfillment, rituals of healing, an unusual but perhaps ultimately
pragmatic cultural perspective, and a vision for survival and
growth. --The Bloomsbury Review
"This book is the story of a journey, its author's movement from a
place of despair to one of action. . . . It is ultimately a message
of hope and optimism, for Starhawk shares not only a vision but
tools for personal empowerment, the building of community, and the
transformation of culture. . . . A thought-provoking book that is a
pleasure to read." --Carol Haber, New Directions for Women
"Reading this book is in itself transformational. . . . You're sure
to come away from [Starhawk's] work richer, deeper, and more truly
informed." --Pam Pacelli, New Age
"These are recipes for real change, filled with humor and good
sense, protected with safeguards against the reassertion of our old
habits of using power and against the temptations to overload and
burnout." --Judith S. Harrow, Association for Humanistic Psychology
Newsletter
"A marvelously empowering and energizing book." --Aunt Edna's
