The City Is a Labyrinth: A Walking Guide for Urban Animists

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.
