description: Patricia Telesco's Urban Pagan took the first steps toward unifying a philosophical ideal with the conditions of modern life. Now she presents a neopagan's complete guide to maintaining a powerful connection with nature, even when sacred groves and wild rivers are far away. Offering meditations, rituals, and guided visualizations, she suggests how the noise and hectic pace of the city can be countered with simple gestures, such as lighting a candle at dawn to create moments of peace, thanks, and renewal. Both an introduction and a valuable refresher, Shaman in a 9 to 5 World adapts a vast array of ancient shamanic traditions to city life, including fasting, drumming, praying, creating sacred spaces, interpreting omens and signs, and even shapeshifting and divination. Covering everything from tools and supplies to power animals, totems, amulets, fetishes, and the elements, this book provides step-by-step guidance for healers of the human tribe.
