The Urban Primitive: Raven Kaldera and Tannin Schwartzstein (Llewellyn Worldwide, 2002)

The Urban Primitive is a new and different kind of book for the city pagan by Raven Kaldera and Tannin Schwartzstein. While not the first "Urban Paganism" book, it is the first one that covers a spectrum of city dwellers wide enough to embrace both the Prisoner of Dilbertland and the Gutter Punk. Not all of our people can afford to buy candles and incense, or have large private rooms where they can cast circles. If you're homeless and Pagan in an urban area, this is the magic book you want in your pocket. This book emphasizes practical, low-cost and low-planning magick that can be done at any time and place with whatever is on hand. The magical tools and implements suggested are not costly chalices and athames, but trash you can pick up off the street, dig out of your pocket, or pull out of a trash can.
