More quotes by 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
The antidote to climate change is community.
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
If we are to reclaim our culture, we cannot afford narrow definitions.
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
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
To Witches, the cosmos is the living body of the Goddess, in whose being we all partake, who encompasses us and is immanent within us. We call her Goddess not to narrowly define her gender, but as a continual reminder that what we value is life brought into the world ... She has infinite names and guises, many of them male.
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
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
She changes everything she touches. And everything she touches changes.
Starhawk
Through the Goddess, we can discover our strength, enlighten our minds, own our bodies, and celebrate our emotions.
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
Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.
