Urban Magick: A Guide For The City Witch
Chapter 1: What is Urban Magick?
Urban magick has three aspects: working with the spirit of a given city, tapping the energy generated by a city for your own use, and using energy you generate to benefit the city spirit and your neighbors. Aside from believing in the metaphysical, urban magick has no religious framework, and the practice of it at this point is mostly through practitioners that work magick solitary or with one partner.
In some ways, it is a forgotten ancient practice, and in others a version of magick for modern pioneers. If you happen to be Wiccan, or Christian, or Druid (for example), you can work with city magick while still honoring your tradition. If you happen to see yourself as aligned with nature, that doesn’t preclude you from city magick; nature lives in the city just as much as it does outside of it.
Each city has its own energy and spirits. I have traveled enough to know that they differ greatly from one another, but they also exist and come about in similar ways.
