Inspiring to the last

While going through the everyday hum-drum of life, this book can make you change your perspective. It helps you feel your "inner Witch" while doing your everyday things. Improves concentration levels, helps to guide you through new experiences and as always...gives us knowledge. What more can a Witch want?

What a wonderful book!

Let's face it: many of us in the modern world have a hard time telling which direction north is, let alone finding enough sacred space to cast a circle in the city without your neighbors calling the cops to report you as a satanic worshiper. This is a lovely, down-to-earth guide for those of us who wish to live in touch with ourselves and the natural world while living in the 9-to-5 "mundane" city.This isn't a guide to "how to ignore reality and technology around you." This is a guide to how to find magic, both old and new. My favorites are using a television screen (turned off) as a scrying mirror and zapping magickal ingrediants in the microwave to charge them with power.Paganism grows and changes with the people who celebrate it. This book is an excellent and entertaining guide to that growth. Blessed be!

Amazing Information

Practical, informative, imaginative, and economical, this book is what every urban magicker needs to read.

Nature Religion For A Man-Made World

Urban Pagan is filled with valuable exercises which challenge and encourage you to try to see the magic and the mystery in the world around you, even if that world is the mundane world of 9-5 jobs and asphalt playgrounds. For a person just starting out on the Pagan Path, it is a wonderful source of new and different ways of looking at the normal things that shape and make up our lives.

Great 101 Guide

For urban pagans who aren't sure how to build a spiritual life in the concrete jungle, this book will help you a lot. Simple, pragmatic, and fun.
