Ashley Y could we discuss the category issue? I think that Starhawk's work shouldn't be restricted to just Wicca. Her contributions effect the larger category of Paganism in my opinion. - FSVallare —Preceding undated comment added 08:55, 16 July 2004.
She doesn't live in San Francisco anymore. She lives on a farm in capitalist Marin. So much for her "ideals". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.180.100.79 ( talk • contribs) 01:23, 30 October 2005
Note on edit of 9/2/06: Source for addition of Starhawk's mother's middle name Claire is the Minnesota Birth Index, File 1951-MN-035927. (Existing information on DOB, name, and father's name are also verified by this file.) - Zinning 23:30, 2006 Sep 2 [EDT]
== Witchcraft vs. Wicca ==
I hope I didn't step on anybody's toes by changing the link for "Witch" from Wicca to Witchcraft, but I think that this change better reflects Starhawk's position. While she once identified as a Wiccan (as someone else mentioned above) that is no longer the case, as far as I know. Many, if not most, people involved in Reclaiming identify as Witches but not as Wiccans. If someone disagrees with this...let's talk about it! Thanks, romarin talk ] 19:21, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I've added an impact section that talks about the impact her works have had. mainly about her popularisation of the nine million witches figure, but also one line about how "The Spiral dance" was arguably the inspiration behind the neo-pagan movement. Feel free to add to this. It would require, I think, a review of the book, it's main themes and the popular impact that the book has had, specifically with reference to neo-paganism and wicca. the paragraph I've written (about her popularisation of the incorrect figure of nine million witches killed during the witch hunt) can be considered as one small part of this. It is for others to write the rest. Steve3742 12:52, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
"The Spiral dance" was arguably the inspiration behind the neo-pagan movement?? The Neopagan movement started in the early 1900s, at the latest. Its "counter-culture" revival started in the late 1950s. A 1979 book, no matter how influential, can hardly be considered the "inspiration" of that, unless you give up on the arrow of time and the notion of causality altogether. I am certainly willing to recognize that this author was influential within the "feminist Wicca" subculture and that her book may have inspiered the "Goddess movement", but to equate this with "Neopaganism", or even call her a "theorist of Paganism" is clearly misguided. I do believe that this author contributed to the public perception of "modern pagans" as feminists throwing about "fakelore" and bashing Christianity for the "burning times", at least in the United States, but this is clearly a popular misconception held by people who know nothing about the topic, and certainly not something to be perpetuated by Wikipedia. -- dab (𒁳) 12:17, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
well i dont like her so ill refrain from editing this article but YOUTUBE not utube —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.174.39.48 ( talk) 03:42, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
I was just wondering if this article should refer to her a "theorist of Paganism." Has she published scientific theories related to paganism? Koonboi ( talk) 07:19, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, and has been for the 8 years this article has existed; the page was moved recently without discussion. More than 70% of Google Web results are to her; only 15% to the two video games, and only 10% to comic. 99% of the GoogleBooks results are to her. Extremely prolific and well-known author and activist. ALL of the "What Links Here" for the term or the dab -- well over 100 -- are referring to her.

*Against move and have reverted the change as there was no consensus to make it. The discussion here needs to run its course before any change is made. There will be some mess to clean up which I will do my best to do. Please don't revert back - await consensus before anyone moves this page again.

Turn to disambiguation page, and move this to [[Starhawk {author)]] due to the upcoming game, which is now the dominant returned result on a Google search and the game being a far wider and well known entity than the author worldwide, due to it being the sequel to a critically acclaimed and multimillion copies selling game. -- 2.221.193.78 ( talk) 17:32, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
Practically nothing in this article is properly sourced. This needs to be rectified. Deletion of all non-sourced material would likely make this article a stub, so any editors familiar with the subject should work to get sources in. Please let me know if I'm wrong here.

Does this article mention when her name was changed to Starhawk? I assume this happened before she published her books but when? Even the year would be good. 184.146.160.203 ( talk) 21:48, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
