Starhawk, born Miriam Simos, is a prominent American author, activist, and self-described “thea-logian” who has profoundly influenced modern Paganism, particularly the Reclaiming tradition of Witchcraft. Her work intricately weaves together spirituality, social justice, and ecological awareness.
As a bisexual woman, Starhawk’s identity is deeply integrated into her theological framework. She champions an immanent divinity, often expressed as the Goddess, which embraces diversity and celebrates all forms of love and being. Her bisexuality informs her inclusive approach to spirituality, challenging rigid binaries and advocating for a fluid, interconnected understanding of self and cosmos.
Through seminal works like The Spiral Dance and her activism in environmental and anti-nuclear movements, Starhawk has been a leading voice in ecofeminist spirituality and permaculture. Her contributions emphasize embodied wisdom, direct action, and the sacredness of the Earth, making her a vital figure in contemporary spiritual and political discourse.
