Washington Post,
I am so grateful to see the writings and views of Starhawk on this website.

She is an important voice in America today.I believe she is a spokeswoman for so many women and men who feel strongly about the sacredness of the Earth, the plight of our world and the horrific state of the political landscape as well.

Many thanks for printing the wisdom of Starhawk and for your open minded policy.

Sincerely,
Clare Shields
Lafayette, California

Starhawk, I am grateful for all the work you are doing to promote environmental awareness and spiritually reclaiming our Mother Earth. I don't know if you are aware of the upcoming event in Ontario, Canada, October 4,5,6,7 called "The Awakening" (www.theawakening.ca), one of the biggest gatherings in North American history of natives and environmental activists. I know you will be coming home from Sicily and on your way to California in the weeks before and after this date, but we were wondering if you would be interested in participating in this event. We believe it would garner more attention from members of the pagan community as well as eco/environmentalists if you were able to attend. Should you have the time, please peruse the above-mentioned website on the chance you could lend your spirit to this great cause. Thank you for your time, blessed be...
