[Abstract] Starhawk (Miriam Simos) is the author of The Spiral Dance: A Rebirth of the Ancient Religion
of the Great Goddess (1979) and The Earth Path: Grounding your Spirit in the Rhythms of
Nature (2004). This MA thesis examines Starhawk’s theories within the framework of
ecofeminism and evaluates her contributions to the genre of spiritual ecofeminist essays. It
aims to assess the distinctiveness of her writings within the broader field of ecofeminist
literature, drawing upon the insights of critics such as Maria Mies, Vandana Shiva, Greta
Gaard, Carol P. Christ, and Ariel Salleh, among other contributors.
Employing a comprehensive methodology that combines literary analysis, feminist
theory, and interdisciplinary research, this study explores the intricate connections between
feminism, spirituality, and environmentalism in Starhawk’s works. This MA thesis is
structured into two main parts, each serving a distinct purpose. The first part focuses on
essential definitions and aspects related to the development of the thesis, while the second is
dedicated to the analysis of Starhawk’s works, exploring concepts such as the witch, the
Goddess1
and rituals. Through a critical examination of Starhawk’s writings, this section delves
into the profound connections between feminist spirituality, ecological consciousness, and the
socially-engaged themes in her works.
Through this comprehensive analysis, the research paper reaches intriguing
conclusions. It highlights the unique and valuable insights offered by Starhawk’s spiritual
ecofeminist essays, emphasizing the interplay between feminism, spirituality, and
environmentalism. Furthermore, her works serve as a compelling call to action, urging
individuals to embrace the intrinsic sanctity of all living beings and actively work towards a
world characterized by coexistence and sustainability.
