More quotes by Starhawk
Any ritual is an opportunity for transformation.
Starhawk
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
At its essence, the message of the Occupations is simply this: ‘Here in the face of power we will sit and create a new society, in which you do count.’
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
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
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
Ritual and myth are like seed crystals of new patterns that can eventually reshape culture around them.
Starhawk
Any creative work that is truly alive is influenced by a thousand chance factors in its generation.
Starhawk
If we are to reclaim our culture, we cannot afford narrow definitions.
Starhawk

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
Earth Mother, you who are called by a thousand names. May all remember we are cells in your body and dance together.
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
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
What we name must answer to us we can shape it if not control it.
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
Sexuality is a sacrament.
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
[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.
