My teacher said that to be a witch in New York, you need to cultivate a “zen” attitude towards using public spaces. We are always simultaneously tuning ourselves out of city noises and distractions, but tuning ourselves in to the magick around us at the same time. This is especially true when we do ritual in city parks — one of the main ways we connect with nature — and along the way, I have learned some things about the best way to work within these little urban oases.
