Notes: Paperback also available, fiction. Widely criticized and supported in various pagan forums, largely because it is perceived as being too politically correct. Personally, I think that the term ‘politically correct’ which began as nothing more than a short form for "respecting other cultures when they tell you that something is insulting to them" has been overused and devalued by folks who have no intention of respecting the diversity of life. The keyword is respect.
Personally, I like the book. Not as well written as some fantasy authors but this is Starhawk's first work of fiction. There is much about the society that develops in San Francisco that I dream of for this world -all cultures and religions existing and cooperating, side by side,respecting all.

Notes: Both are introduction to Dianic Wicce type books with different emphases. I find her books somewhat simplistic at times but very handy as an outline for ritual work. A lot of women I know swear by her books but I prefer the next author.

Notes: Shekhinh's book is set up as a workbook, with exercises that make you think about what you've read, projects to do, and contains lots of references to other sources. It’s still an intro type book to Dianic Wicce but more for those who already have a sense of committment to the Craft.
Both Dianne Stein and Shekhinah Mountainwater use examples of group rituals but either can be modified for solitary work.

notes: great herbal reference book with some essays at the back on making our lives whole, spiritually and physically. Not specifically pagan, but shares many of the same ideas.

notes: The publisher thinks this is fiction but it contains many deep truths.

notes: humour, anything illustrated by the fabulous Alison Bechdel is worth it! the other authors describe themselves as a Witch and a Linquist.

notes: well, you’ve probably heard of Starhawk...this is one of my favourites!

notes: I’ve just started this one but I’m really excited by the possibilities. Diane Mariechild is definetely Dianic.

notes: sigh......the world considers this fiction too. It contains many deep truths and Susan Griffen is by far the best writer I’ve ever read. Her prose nearly sings itself off the page with it’s intense beauty. In content, this is more about feminis m and the environment. It is not specifically wiccan, but I think it distills the essence of what I take to be Dianic Wicce.

notes: An interesting pagan/feminist retelling of the story of Christ. If you’ve moved away from a christian religion but still feel some ties, this book is a good bridge between christian and pagan/wiccan beliefs. This simple story helped me say good bye to christianity even though I didn’t know at the time where my spiritual search was leading me.

Both are introductory type books to ‘women’s spirituality’ for people who are searching. Lots of holidays, celebration ideas, and ritual suggestions! I’ve heard her say that both books aren’t as ‘in depth’ as she might like because they were published with a major mainstream publisher. Z is a dynamic women with strong opinions, very feminist and womyn-centred.

Z’s first book, and it’s not quite an intro! This book is about Dianic Wicce (as different from Women’s Spirituality) and it is fairly comprehensive, going to greater depth than any of her books since.
