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
Where there's fear, there is power.

Ritual and myth are like seed crystals of new patterns that can eventually reshape culture around them.
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
Any ritual is an opportunity for transformation.
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
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
