Just a Quick Scrogg Moment
Ian is busy doing a little photo journalism in Cali, and I thought you would all appreciate this
Who Is Starhawk?
A friend recently announced that she was going to train with Starhawk, which left me feeling unsettled and uninformed. Did she meet an intergalactic superstar? Has she taken up with an ornithology cult? Does she have an imaginary friend with extraordinary abilities? Could this be a call sign like Maverick or Goose? These were questions needing answers. I searched the internet and found that Starhawk says it best herself:
“I’m Starhawk, author of many works celebrating the Goddess movement and Earth-based, feminist spirituality. I’m a peace, environmental and global justice activist and trainer, a permaculture designer and teacher, a Pagan and Witch.”
My friend is training to be an earth activist, and I really should have guessed. Don’t get me wrong, I am for Earth. It is my favorite planet. All things considered, it takes a special type of nihilist to be against it. Accordingly, commotion seems like an unnecessary approach to ecological activism. I work for a large steel recycler and in my observation, a stringent commitment to environmental practices is less ceremonial than it is dirty and hard work. And of the many ways to contribute to our planet’s health, how does building a wigwam with 20 of your fruitiest friends stack up? It looks like a lot of hilarious and wholesome fun, but net zero for the environment. On the other hand, I am not a witch so it is possible I am missing something.
Speaking of magical prowess and fictional powers, wouldn’t you rather train with this guy?
This is also Starhawk (né Stakar Vaughn Ogord, Giver of Light). Kudos to Tophat for the tip. He also suggested a battle for moniker supremacy: Pagan Feminist vs. Invulnerable Superhero. Any bets?
