| Summary: | This article attempts to chart some of the ways in which ideas of radical feminism, Goddess Spirituality, and feminist Witchcraftwhich originated in the United States during the late 1960s and the 1970s before taking root in Britainwere introduced to British Wiccans during the latter half of the 1970s and throughout the 1980s. Several UK-based radical feminists who combined their newfound political awareness with Goddess Spirituality acted as important conduits for the transference of these ideas. This will be shown through the use of a case study of the artist and Goddess Feminist Monica Sjöö (1938-2005). |
