The City is a Labyrinth a Walking Guide for Urban Animists

$8.00

The city is alive with spirits—from those found in remaining natural areas to those who are unique to the realm of concrete and steel. But how can we connect with these spirits, and build a powerful, meaningful localized practice in an urban environment? Polytheist, animist, and spirit-worker Sarah Kate Istra Winter suggests a radically simple approach: walking. Inspired by the field of psychogeography and informed by her many years as a spiritually-minded pedestrian, she examines the ways in which walking can be a devotional and magical act.

Explore the numinous places of the city and the wights who dwell there with this pocket-sized guide, perfect for taking along on your journeys.

Review:
I loved this book so much that I physically had to stop myself from re-reading it immediately after finishing the last page. Super quick read, in a petite, easy-to-carry form. There's something kind of charming and magical about the fact that this book *isn't* available digitally. The cover is matte and has that soft feel to it while seeming sturdy. The writing is organized well and flows nicely. And gd, am I inspired to go for a walk now! (Though it's a bit too late for that...) I'm also tempted to buy this for a friend or two.
