Magic is the craft of shaping, the craft of the wise, exhilarating, dangerous - the ultimate adventure. The power of magic should not be underestimated. It works, often in ways that are unexpected and difficult to control.

More quotes by Starhawk
Sexuality is a sacrament.
Starhawk
In a culture where profit has become the true God, self-sacrifice can seem incomprehensible rather than noble.
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
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
Earth Mother, you who are called by a thousand names. May all remember we are cells in your body and dance together.
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 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
Where there's fear, there is power.
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
Panic is not an effective long-term organizing strategy.
Starhawk
Love is the glue that holds the world together.
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
Ritual and myth are like seed crystals of new patterns that can eventually reshape culture around them.
Starhawk
The test of a true myth is that each time you return to it, new insights and interpretations arise.
Starhawk
Love for life in all its forms is the basic ethic of Witchcraft.
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
Now, on the longest day, light triumphs, and yet begins the decline into dark. We turn the Wheel for we have planted the seeds of our own changes, and to grow we must accept even the passing of the sun Set Sail See with clear eyes See how we shine!
Starhawk
Solidarity is based on the principle that we are willing to put ourselves at risk to protect each other.
Starhawk
We cannot change the world alone. To heal ourselves, to restore the earth to life, to create the situations in which freedom can flourish, we must work together in groups.
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.
