More quotes by Starhawk
Community means strength that joins our strength to do the work that needs to be done. Arms to hold us when we falter. A circle of healing. A circle of friends. Someplace where we can be free.
Starhawk
Love is the glue that holds the world together.
Starhawk
In the Craft the Goddess is not omnipotent. The cosmos is interesting rather than perfect, and everything is not part of some greater plan, nor is all necessarily under control.
Starhawk
Each being is sacred - meaning that each has inherent value that cannot be ranked in a hierarchy or compared to the value of another being.
Starhawk
The long sleep of Mother Goddess is ended. May She awaken in each of our hearts - Merry meet, merry part, and blessed be.
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
Ritual affirms the common patterns, the values, the shared joys, risks, sorrows, and changes that bind a community together. Ritual links together our ancestors and descendants, those who went before with those will come after us.
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
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
If we are to reclaim our culture, we cannot afford narrow definitions.
Starhawk
Our goal is not to get out of the world or to get out of life, but to integrate it, to celebrate it, to embrace it fully, and to embrace all the different cycles within it.
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
Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.
Starhawk
On some deep cosmic level, we are all one, and within us we each contain the potential for good and for destruction, for compassion and hate, for generosity and greed.
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
Despair breeds fundamentalism, fanaticism, and terrorism. A world of truly shared abundance would be a safer world.
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.
Starhawk
Solidarity is based on the principle that we are willing to put ourselves at risk to protect each other.
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
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.
