Starhawk Quotes

Systems don’t change easily. Systems try to maintain themselves, and seek equilibrium. To change a system, you need to shake it up, disrupt the equilibrium. That often requires conflict Picture Quote #1

For great as the powers of destruction may be, greater still, are the powers of healing Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

To live with integrity in an unjust society we must work for justice. To walk with integrity through a landscape strewn with beer cans, we must stop and pick them up Picture Quote #1

The healing of our relationship with place begins with the preservation of the natural environment. We cannot go to the wild for renewal if no wilderness is left Picture Quote #1

What affects one thing affects, in some way, all things: All is interwoven into the continuous fabric of being. Its warp and weft are energy, which is the essence of magic Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Spirituality leaps where science cannot yet follow, because science must always test and measure, and much of reality and human experience is immeasurable Picture Quote #1

The test of a true myth is that each time you return to it, new insights and interpretations arise Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Any creative work that is truly alive is influenced by a thousand chance factors in its generation Picture Quote #1

Beware of organizations that proclaim their devotion to the light without embracing, bowing to the dark; for when they idealize half the world they must devalue the rest Picture Quote #1

Fear doesn’t go away but you walk toward fear naked and the gate opens Picture Quote #1

Solidarity is based on the principle that we are willing to put ourselves at risk to protect each other Picture Quote #1

Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you Picture Quote #1

Only those who must bear the consequences of a decision have the right to make it Picture Quote #1

Unless I have enough personal power to keep commitments in my daily life, I will be unable to wield magical power. To work magic, I need a basic belief in my ability to do things and cause things to happen. That belief is generated and sustained by my daily actions Picture Quote #1

To work magic is to weave the unseen forces into form; to soar beyond sight; to explore the uncharted dream realm of the hidden reality; to infuse life with color, motion and strange scents that intoxicate; to leap beyond imagination into that space between the worlds where fantasy becomes real; to be at once animal and God. Magic is... the ultimate adventure Picture Quote #1

Somewhere a circle of hands will open to receive us, eyes will light up as we enter, voices will celebrate with us whenever we come into our own power Picture Quote #1

A society that could heal the dismembered world would recognize the inherent value of each person and of the plant, animal and elemental life that makes up the earth’s living body; it would offer real protection, encourage free expression, and reestablish an ecological balance to be biologically and economically sustainable. Its underlying metaphor would be mystery, the sense of wonder at all that is beyond us and around us, at the forces that sustain our lives and the intricate complexity and beauty of their dance Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My spirituality has always been linked to my feminism. Feminism is about challenging unequal power structures Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Magic has often been thought of us the art of making dreams come true; the art of realizing visions. Yet before we can bring birth to the vision we have to see it Picture Quote #1

Totally captivating. Starhawk has created a magic land to which we can return at will for the kind of exotic romance and adventure we all crave. Her celebration of the richness of cultural diversity heralds the possibility of a mutually enhancing multicultural community. Here, too, is a vision of the paradigm shift that is essential for our very survival as a species on this planet Picture Quote #1
