Hand's "college novel" and a good one. I was pretty young in the 1970s, but Hand seems to capture the feel of the era pretty well. But the campus portions of the novel are actually the weakest, much better is the late-80s-ish later portions, where her magical young people have grown up into much more plausible middle-agers. Not that there is no magic, a revived goddess cult (a la The White Goddess) is planning on wresting control of our civilization from the boys club of sky-god worshipers, with much attendant blood sacrifice. One of the better novels I've read along these world-historical-conspiracy lines.
