 Ocean's Meeting with Starhawk
Starhawk came to town and was doing a presentation to be followed by a ritual.
Starhawk is a very strong proponent of sign language and interpreters - in fact, I remember at this presentation that she was up on a small platform stage in front of the audience.
During the ritual, Starhawk began to lead the chant - "the earth, the water, the fire, and the air...return, return return." My interpreter began to sign the chant, using the signs "land, waves, burn, wind..again, again, again." It was pretty simple signing.

On the contrary, Starhawk emphasizes that Wicca is for everyone and is clear about her position: that a female-only model of the universe would prove to be as constricting and oppressive, to women and men, as the patriarchal model has been.

 Book Review by Harold Wood: THE SPIRAL DANCE by Starhawk
Although Starhawk advocates a "magic" of sorts, it is a magic to influence human minds in a conscious manner, not necessarily a calling of supernatural forces out of hiding to make magical changes in the non-supernatural world.
Although Starhawk's obvious commitment to finding a genuinely intelligent alternative to patriarchal religion is laudable, she falls short in identifying a religious framework with truly vital relevance to the problems of the modern world.
Finally, Starhawk's idea of casting "spells" as magic to "bind in energy", "attract love", etc. seem to me dangerously close to such superstitions as what we fear might happen when a fl cat crosses in front of you, or the number 13 turns up.
