Reviews

Scholars in gender studies, anthropology, religious studies, and other fields will gain valuable insight from Kristy Coleman 's detailed analysis of the Circle of Aradia Dianic Wiccans, its complex dynamics, and its beliefs. Her careful ethnography clearly explains Luce Irigaray 's challenging concept of the feminine divine. She reveals not only the woman-empowering, anti-patriarchal process of rituals such as Beltane, but the tension and transformation in the organization itself.--Dorothy D. Wills
