The day they got lost in an unfamiliar forest and he miraculously found a way out again, was the day she realized that he almost always operated this way. He'd so often take the magical path when there was a choice. Look at a map? Oh, heeelll no! Use some gadget like a GPS? Not bloody likely Bubb. He nearly always preferred to find his way out of a jam instinctively, by feeling where his spirit wanted to go.
She recalled stories about people using sticks to find water. She'd always thought that the people sounded like charlatans but now she supposed it was really that the sticks were props. To have something in one's hands to hold onto, almost to disguise the lack of security while merely following one's instinct. When she worked this puzzle out in the forest, she stopped resisting his approach. She followed him with a light heart instead.
She poked herself for being a slow learner because it was a long time she'd watched him find routes "blindly" like this, and yet she had never trusted this method herself. Why didn't she realize what he was doing before now?! Clearly, he much preferred to find his way out of just about any dark, lost, situation by following his nose towards the scent, his ears towards the pulse, and his eyes towards the light!!
Previously, it had seemed mysterious or lucky to her because he could always manage to find a good route by using this method, but lost in the trees, she realized it was more than luck. It was something he knew he could do well. He was consciously choosing to follow the vibrating trail of the supernatural like a detective follows a trail of clues.

You're probably right, the string of words just didn't quite make sense to me!
