so this woman Starhawk is at the WISE hall in Vancouver tonight and tomorrow,
in the same week as the Dali Lama.
I'm not sure what I think about her system.
Reclaiming Wicca, which she is a part of, is extremely anti-male, at least up here in B.C.
I spoken with men who attended one of their camps here and they basically got scowled at and derogated constantly through the weekend.
Personally I find any wiccan path that forms hierarchies according to sexuality disturbing.
Dianics are almost as bad as orthodox christians, from a discrimination point of view.
IMHO. Anyway...
I can't say whether I'm for or against what she's spreading, I do know that her written works and documentary appearances have helped a lot of people understand the Great Hatred, or The Burning Times as she's coined it. Many people have found nature based Paths or various reconstructed pagan concepts that work for them by being exposed to her.
There are possibly some historical inaccuracies, which have hurt some of the validity or believability of the work. Perhaps a bit to much emotionalism over research. Overall, I think she's helped a lot of people though, those small things aside.
If you can afford, maybe you'll see for yourself.
I'm broke, so I won't be seeing it.
