Publisher Description
Nature's miraculous energy - the same energy that turns the ocean's tides - is all around us. What if you could bring that energy more fully into your life? To hear the voice of trees, and know the radiant power of the stars? The great power of transformation in nature - in Wicca what is called "The Goddess" - can help you make transitions in your own life, connect more deeply with your own inner power, and bring healing to yourself, your community, and the world around us. In
The Beginner's Guide to Wicca, Starhawk invites you to look at life from the perspective of this earth-based tradition that draws from wisdom and nature. Take a journey around the magic circle of the elements, the seasons, the moon, and the cycles of birth, growth, death, and rebirth that are the essence of this ancient tradition.

excellent intro to earth spirituality
Here is a quote from this audiobook that I think speaks to the "fluffy bunny" comment above. "There are also many peoples in the world and each of those many peoples has their own expression, their own interaction, their own understanding of those forces. If we can honor that, and if we can understand that no one has the one right, true, and only way--and no one has the complete line on truth and that everybody has their own perception, their own conception, of the great mysteries--than we can have a greater level of tolerance and respect for each other. And those differences can enrich our understandings, rather than seem like threats to us."

Love Starhawk...she is amazing. This audio book really gave some wonderful info from a beautiful soul who writes wonderfully. This book is great to listen to before bed with the meditation session and choosing your sacred space. Reccomend for wiccan beginner.
Bad Wicca
Starhawk is characteristic of the fluffy bunny "wiccan" authors who have distorted an incredible religious system into politically correct palpable mush for the masses by injecing feminist and neo-hippy ideals into an otherwise respectable religion. Even in the preview listed here you will note when she says that Wicca is about "worshipping the goddess". I beg to differ. Wicca is a religious system that accesses the divine through both the male and female aspects, or god and goddess, if you will. It is about polaraities and balance, not the feminist rubbish persons like Starhawk have corrupted it with, all but excluding the god in practicality. Do yourself a favor and skip this garbage, and study to find those few balanced Wiccan authors out there. This one is typical pop-pagan crap.
