The antidote to climate change is community.
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
The Goddess does not rule the world She is the world. Manifest in each of us, She can be known internally by every individual, in all her magnificent diversity.
Starhawk
Earth Mother, you who are called by a thousand names. May all remember we are cells in your body and dance together.
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.

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
The test of a true myth is that each time you return to it, new insights and interpretations arise.

Spirituality leaps where science cannot yet follow, because science must always test and measure, and much of reality and human experience is immeasurable.
Starhawk
Patriarchy values the hard over the soft the tough over the tender punishment, vengeance, and vindictiveness over compassion, negotiation, and reconciliation. The 'hard' qualities are linked to power, success, and masculinity - and exalted. The 'soft' qualities are identified with weakness, powerlessness, and femininity - and denigrated.
Starhawk
Through the Goddess, we can discover our strength, enlighten our minds, own our bodies, and celebrate our emotions.
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
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
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
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
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.
