Blurb:
It's a Jungle Out There

You consider yourself a Pagan, or a Magician, or a Witch, because you know there's more to this world than meets the mundane eye. You believe that magic can influence events in your own life and in the world around you.
But you don't live on some pastoral, isolated farm, living off the land, generating your own electricity and pumping your own water. No, you live in the urban jungle. You learned early on that money really doesn't grow on trees, and you don't have wads of extra cash to spend on elaborate ritual tools, custom spell ingredients, and stylish ritual attire. So what a modern urban Pagan to do? Learn how to live a magical life in the concrete jungle.
Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or you've never cast a spell before, this in-your-face guide to commando-style magic is for every urban primitive.

I really really like this book.
Registered after years on my Permanent Collection shelf, so I can loan it out to linguistkris (and get a JE in return). ;)

A very generous loan from anathema-device. I found it hard to put this book down once I attempted to have more than a cursory look at it, so I am very much looking forward to settling down for a good cover-to-cover session.

Even if one isn't a practicing expert witch, this book is well worth reading. A fun and creative approach to magic and religion, The Urban Primitive is a good reminder that nothing is set in stone and matters of belief and spirituality can and do change according to one's circumstances in life. While some of the content just didn't ring true to me, the beauty of it is that it doesn't have to, and that the authors don't expect as much, as long as they can give the reader's intuition a good nudge and encourage us to be perceptive towards our respective surroundings.
