More quotes by 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
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
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 creative work that is truly alive is influenced by a thousand chance factors in its generation.
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
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
Through the Goddess, we can discover our strength, enlighten our minds, own our bodies, and celebrate our emotions.
Starhawk
Any ritual is an opportunity for transformation. To do a ritual, you must be willing to be transformed in some way. The inner willingness is what makes the ritual come alive and have power. If you aren't willing to be changed by the ritual, don't do it.
Starhawk
Despair breeds fundamentalism, fanaticism, and terrorism. A world of truly shared abundance would be a safer world.
Starhawk
Spirituality promotes passivity when the domain of spirit is defined as outside the world. When this world is the terrain of spirit, we ourselves become actors in the story, and this world becomes the realm in which the sacred must be honored and freedom created.
Starhawk
Love for life in all its forms is the basic ethic of Witchcraft.
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
The word Witch carries so many negative connotations that many people wonder why we use the word at all. Yet to reclaim the word Witch is to reclaim our right, as women, to be powerful as men, to know the feminine within as divine.
Starhawk
Ritual and myth are like seed crystals of new patterns that can eventually reshape culture around them.
Starhawk
The antidote to climate change is community.
Starhawk
Witchcraft offers the model of a religion of poetry, not theology. It presents metaphors, not doctrines, and leaves open the possibility of reconciliation of science and religion, of many ways of knowing.
Starhawk
Love is the glue that holds the world together.
Starhawk
What we name must answer to us we can shape it if not control it.
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
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.
