The Fifth Sacred Thing

I was first introduced to Starhawk in Matthew Fox's "Original Blessing", a book about Creation Spirituality. She had written several books on the topic as well on Goddess worship. This is her first work of fiction. It encapsulates a lot of the spirituality she espouses in the context of a future utopian society fighting against a dystopian power trying to overtake it. It took a long while for me to get into the book, but I found myself drawn in by the world building and eventually became very engaged with it. It won the Lambda Literary Award in 1994.
