More quotes by Starhawk
Magic has always been an element of Witchcraft, but in the Craft its techniques were practiced within a context of community and connection.
Starhawk
Any ritual is an opportunity for transformation.
Starhawk
Magic is another word that makes people uneasy, so I use it deliberately, because words they are comfortable with, the words that sound acceptable, rational, scientific, and intellectually sound, are comfortable precisely because they are the language of estrangement.
Starhawk
Now, on the longest day, light triumphs, and yet begins the decline into dark. We turn the Wheel for we have planted the seeds of our own changes, and to grow we must accept even the passing of the sun Set Sail See with clear eyes See how we shine!
Starhawk
[On 9/11:] ... those towers represented human triumph over nature. Larger than life, built to be unburnable, they were the Titanic of our day. For them to burn and fall so quickly means that the whole superstructure we depend upon to mitigate nature and assure our comfort and safety could fall.
Starhawk
All began in love, all seeks to return in love. Love is the law, the teacher of wisdom, and the great revealer of mysteries.
Starhawk
We cannot change the world alone. To heal ourselves, to restore the earth to life, to create the situations in which freedom can flourish, we must work together in groups.
Starhawk
Where there's fear, there is power.
Starhawk
The antidote to climate change is community.
Starhawk
Ritual and myth are like seed crystals of new patterns that can eventually reshape culture around them.
Starhawk
The terrain of the mysteries is the ordinary. To seek out mystery, we don't have to go anywhere. We must simply change our preception, our description, our consciousness of where we are.
Starhawk
Panic is not an effective long-term organizing strategy.
Starhawk
Only by transforming our own economy to one of peace can we make possible economic democracy in the Third World or our own country. The present economy generates wars to protect its profits and its short-term interests, while squandering the future. Unless we transform the economy, we cannot end war.
Starhawk
Unless I have enough personal power to keep commitments in my daily life, I will be unable to wield magical power. To work magic, I need a basic belief in my ability to do things and cause things to happen. That belief is generated and sustained by my daily actions.
Starhawk
The Goddess is not separate from the world – She IS the world, and all things in it: moon, sun, earth, star, stone, seed, flowing river, wind, wave, leaf and branch, bud and blossom, fang and claw, woman and man.
Starhawk
Beware of organizations that proclaim their devotion to the light without embracing, bowing to the dark for when they idealize half the world they must devalue the rest.
Starhawk
If we are to reclaim our culture, we cannot afford narrow definitions.
Starhawk
A spiritual organization with a hierarchical structure can convey only the consciousness of estrangement, regardless of what teachings or deep inspirations are at its root.The structure itself reinforces the idea that some people are inherently more worthy than others.
Starhawk
Love for life in all its forms is the basic ethic of Witchcraft.
Starhawk
I am a witch, by which I mean that I am somebody who believes that the earth is sacred, and that women and women's bodies are one expression of that sacred being.
