Any action, like any act of magic, is in some sense an act of faith ... I've seen the desert bloom, the flower that emerges from the barest hint of water, and I know the power of life will rise, stubborn and persistent to be renewed. May our actions be the wind that brings the rain.
Starhawk
Magic is the craft of shaping, the craft of the wise, exhilarating, dangerous - the ultimate adventure. The power of magic should not be underestimated. It works, often in ways that are unexpected and difficult to control.

Creations, whether they are children, poems, or organizations, take on a life of their own.
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
Despair breeds fundamentalism, fanaticism, and terrorism. A world of truly shared abundance would be a safer world.
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.
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
Ritual and myth are like seed crystals of new patterns that can eventually reshape culture around them.
Starhawk
At this moment in history, we are called to act as if we truly believe that liberty and justice for all is a desirable thing.
Starhawk
There are two kinds of power. One is power over, which is always destructive, and the other is power from within, which is a transcendent and creative power.
