City Witchery by Lisa Marie Basile

City Witchery by Lisa Marie Basile

City Witchery is a fun, practical guide to adapting and developing your magical practices to city life.

"Living in urban spaces can be problematic for witches, who often rely on nature, privacy, and a lack of prying eyes from those around themBut in a city or urban area, that’s not always possible. In City Witchery, Lisa Marie Basile explores how the city can be an asset to a witch’s practice, rather than a limitation."

"Not just for city-dwellers, City Witchery is great for anyone who shares spaces with others, who doesn’t have a lot of privacy, or who needs help making spells and personal rituals more accessible. Filled with exercises and resources, along with beautiful illustrations, this book explores heightening intuition, tapping into magical energy, methods for connecting with land and history, suggestions for establishing magical environments, ways to embrace a particular city or area, self-care tips, and travel suggestions. Great for newbies and experienced witches alike, I found this book a quick but engrossing read, and really enjoyed all of the suggestions for ways to explore and experience cities in new ways." * Autostraddle *
“Caught up in the hustle and bustle of city life? Check out Lisa Marie Basile’s City Witchery, which will help you carve your own path to spiritual satisfaction, even in the middle of a concrete jungle.” * Bustle *
"City Witchery is the book for all Wiccans looking to practice magic as city dwellers. This handy guide helps users to practice the craft effectively in places where otherworldly resources and space are normally limited." * Manhattan Book Review *
