In this classic book Starhawk unites the world of nature worship and magic with the world of political organization and social activism. She intertwines the erotic with the political, and modern humanistic psychology with the ancient religion of the Goddess, to offer a transforming power that can heal the spiritual and political split between the individual and society. Dreaming the Dark traces a path from despair in the face of cultural cruelty and the threat of global catastrophe, to inspiration, empowerment and action. Starhawk is a witch, writer, teacher, counsellor and political activist. 'Persons of all genders, religions, and politics interested in healing self or planet would do well to avail themselves of this extraordinary text.'
