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\n"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 \n"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\n"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." — 
Cunning Folk Magazine\nFrom the Author \nCity Witchery is for you if you want to make your city experience more sacred — whether you live in a city, travel often, or are on the outskirts of a metropolis.\nThis book is ful

Through a series of intimately interwoven vignettes, Andalucia paints an engulfing dreamscape, at once lush and treacherous, both pale and aflame. The speaker in these poems has fallen in love with some sort of colorless and exotic hell. Disturbed by her “bad girl” past, laden with guilt and abuse, she revels in the sea, in the arms of centaurs, inside of tear jars. Like an antique travel diary turned mythic, Andalucia illuminates the simultaneous feelings of elation, delusion, and fear that go along with letting oneself get lost in one’s own land. "Drunk and dolorous, talkative and handsome, Lisa Marie Basile’s chapbook Andalucia is a perfect confection of decadence decorated with hounds and leopards. Sweet and old-fashioned like an exotic candy you can’t quite place, you will want to devour it. “You don’t need a sea to be happy / do you?” No, you just need to read Andalucia by Lisa Marie Basile." -- Kathleen Rooney, author of Oneiromance (an epithalamion)

Lisa Marie Basile's first full-length collection of poetry is the essence of summer-noir -- detailing vice, sexuality and grief through luscious poetics. Set in a Lynchian seaside town, Apocryphal is a holy, girly, neurotic text obsessed with its own secret, dark world. Apocryphal attempts at truth but is littered with false memories and untenable hopes. THE RUMPUS says, "I came to Lisa Marie Basile's Apocryphal eager to travel off the beaten paths--of genre, of narrative, of self-disclosure and self-discovery. I was never once disappointed."

Inside the Castle

Archetypes are real. Muses are real. Writers are the channels of these spirits &amp; if that sounds like witchcraft that's because it is. These stories gave me chills. Sylvia Plath &amp; Lana Del Rey course through the veins of these dark, sexy, mind-bending, fantastical, romantic, &amp; haunting tales. Authors from different genres came together in their love &amp; passion for these muses.
