A lecture by Starhawk (witch, peace activist, and ecofeminist).

For over forty years, Starhawk has been a key figure in movements cultivating engaged approaches to magic and ecofeminism. While her work is situated outside the mainstream of academic discourse, it often speaks directly to the conceptual framings of secular modernity and public life. In this talk, Starhawk brings her work and experience to bear on a crucial topic in these times: the difference between magic and “magical thinking”—the rampant denial, conspiracy theories, and general irrationality swamping society today.
