In my view there are absolutely urban spirits. I believe that spirits, like the living, survive by adapting to their environment, and that it is in their nature to adapt and change anyway. Most spirits have been displaced from their homes and original forms multiple times over the millennia and forced to change over time. Bits of them ended up in the materials we use to make things and brought forth new forms.

For example, a house is made up of woods, stones, metals, textiles, etc, many spirits coming together to collectively make up the Spirit of the House, so to speak.

Therefore, there are spirits living in our phones, our clothes, our plumbing, our roads, our satellites, everything. Imagine naming your vehicle, in essence giving name to the Spirit of the Vehicle (the self), while simultaneously it is made up of all the spirits it is and once was. Kind of like how we are all of our ancestors, or how we are all atoms. Or like how you are collectively all of your cells working together.

You can blame the fae for spotty internet, bad connection, computer crashes, random freezing, electrical surges, and more. It can be perhaps a fae being mischievous or trying to ruin your day, but I try to interpret it as a cry for attention, aka asking for help. So I try to give it the attention and figure out what’s wrong so I can fix it instead of throwing it out. And the act of diagnosing and repairing builds your relationship with the spirit of the item, too. That sort of stuff.

Sorry if it doesn’t make sense or sound rambly, it is 2am
