Review
"Urban witches will love this." — Publisher's Weekly
"
City Witchery is a beautiful read and a must-own for anyone doing magic in a city. Basile perfectly covers her bases with valuable witchery — whether you're moving, traveling, or simply trying to connect with spirit where you are. I especially loved the pieces on researching and connecting to what the land your city is on has been throughout time. Basile's work is always gorgeous & effective, and you'll want to add
City Witchery to your urban bookshelf immediately." —
Cassandra Snow, author of Queering The Tarot and Queering Your Craft
"Lisa Marie Basile has created accessible, magical, and creative ways for us city witches to relate to our surroundings. City Witchery is expansive and addresses the concept of home in practical and metaphoric ways. This is a welcome addition to anyone who'd like a book in their library that highlights our relationships to place and to the energy that swirls around us and in us." —
Sarah Faith Gottesdiener, author of The Moon Book: Lunar Magic to Change Your Life
"I'm a city person all the way - and I also love magic. Unfortunately, many of the witchcraft books I've read over the years center on nature-oriented practices. Which means there wasn't a whole lot for those of us who don't live close to big nature - or who prefer the hum of urban life. City Witchery by Lisa Marie Basile is the book I've been waiting for. The practices allow city dwellers like myself to connect with our spiritual lives in a profound yet pragmatic way. This beautifully illustrated work will help you see the magic around you, even if your feet are firmly planted on cement and the only thing touching the heavens are the skyscrapers. A gorgeous, useful book for every witchy city person." — Theresa Reed, author of Tarot: No Questions Asked - Mastering the Art of Intuitive Reading
"As enchanting as it is kind,
City Witchery re-frames cities as archetypes to explore rather than the suffocating entanglement of high-rises and traffic we may have reduced them to in pandemic times. Lisa Marie Basile reminds us, through accessible and inspiring rituals, that magic can be found anywhere." —
