Divinatory Essays on Illness and Narrative
What does it mean to truly live with the awareness of death?
Interruption is a beautiful, unflinching, and relentlessly hopeful collection of linked essays from Cameron Steele, a writer who survived three breast cancer diagnoses in three years as a new mother, a scholar of illness narratives, and a working astrologer and tarot reader.
Drawing on ancient and modern occult texts, psychoanalysis, contemporary memoirs and literature, and her own client sessions, Interruption explores motherhood, illness, love, spirituality, and capitalism, without ever settling for the too-easy answer of despair. More than a cancer memoir, it’s an illuminating and life-affirming love song to family, nature, the self, and the world we share together.
Written by a prize-winning poet, essayist, and former investigative journalist, and born from her Substack newsletter “Interruptions” (a current bestseller, ranked among the platform’s top 100 literature newsletters), Interruption: Divinatory Essays on Illness and Narrative expands Cameron Steele’s original dispatches into a compelling meditation on what it means not just to survive, but also to truly live.

An Ariel Moravec Occult Mystery, #2
Occult detective Ariel Moravec investigates the theft of a mysterious grimoire.
Ariel Moravec has started her training as an apprentice mage and amateur sleuth, under the tutelage of her grandfather, Dr. Moravec. Her days are spent garbling herbs at Aunt Clarice’s hoodoo shop and working through the foundations of French occult literature.
But her studies are interrupted by the disappearance of a book that might well be a powerful work of black magic. Assisting her grandfather on the case, Ariel finds herself drawn into the tangled history of Adocentyn.
Legend has it that the town is home to the hidden treasure of a long dead pirate. As Ariel begins her own hunt for the treasure, she discovers that she is not the only person searching. Could the treasure be related to the lost book of magic, or a masked prowler roaming the hushed streets of the old city?
The threads of the case unravel and intensify, and Ariel finds herself racing against malevolent forces that will stop at nothing to find the treasure first…
The Evolution of a Trauma Therapist
“It is not what we believe that matters, It is how we respond to the call to growth, to greater compassion and encompassing love.”
In this beautiful memoir, renowned trauma therapist Dr. Alison Miller recounts her long and wending life journey towards an undeniable and humane wisdom. From her youthful struggle to find herself as a woman who didn’t fit what people thought women should be, to her eye-opening experiences as a student in India, through her survival of domestic abuse at a time few openly acknowledged it, and into her professional life as a therapist for abuse victims, Miller weaves a beautiful narrative of a spiritually-curious life grounded in compassion for others and for herself.
Sometimes startling, sometimes heart-wrenching, but relentlessly kind and inspiring, On My Way to Wisdom is a remarkable autobiography that will feel as beautiful as a fairy-tale and as true as your own life.
“A hard-to-shake techno-paranoid fever dream about the collapse of truth, trust, and sanity in the digital age.”
— Kirkus Reviews
Dr. Leila Elfassi is the new director of the emergency psychiatry ward at Manhattan Central Hospital. But just as she takes the position, a strangely contagious mental disorder starts to shake the world. Violent rage, extreme paranoia, and sudden group-think are spreading as fast as viral internet memes, and researchers studying the cause of disorder find their work sabotaged — or even end up dead.
And then, Leila learns a terrifying truth about the plague from an anomalous archeological find in the ruins of Jericho that the scientific community refused to hear: this has happened before.
Equal parts spy, medical, and historical thriller, The Walls of Jericho is a relentless, fast-paced, and incisive look at modern technology and the human condition.
A Guide to Re-Enchant Your Life
“To be pagan is to be connected to the land in a way that stands outside of the concerns of the urban and of Empire.”
In a world of uncertainty, political upheaval, climate change, and endless consumerism, in alienated societies bereft of meaning, connection to nature and community, what does it mean to be Pagan?
From druid, theorist, and writer Rhyd Wildermuth comes this updated and expanded edition of Being Pagan. Exploring the meaning of pagan connection — to time, to land, to body, to nature, and to Other — through history, personal experiences, and myth, Wildermuth offers simple yet profound guidance for anyone searching for a deeper way to live.
Including new chapters on magic, the gods, and history, this new edition releases 21 June, 2026.
An Ariel Moravec Occult Mystery, #4
Returning to Adocentyn after an unpleasant Christmas with her parents, 18-year-old Ariel Moravec is eager to study more magic with her adept grandfather. But she barely has time to arrive before she's investigating her newest mystery: a haunting even professional ghost hunters couldn't solve.
One of the old mansions south of Coopers Bay is haunted by the ghost of an old woman with a cane, who is only seen by moonlight. Behind that shadowy figure is a mystery a tangled web of grief and passion that began with a 1931 gangland massacre and set cascading consequences in motion down to the present.
The further Ariel investigates, the outline of a forgotten tragedy begins to surface, centered in the old mansion and the uncanny numbers of crows that haunt it day and night...
The House of the Crows is the much-awaited fourth volume in John Michael Greer’s popular Ariel Moravec Occult Mystery series.
New editions of previous titles in this series that match the artistic style of this edition — in hardcover and paperback — will be announced in May of 2026.

“..neither a manifesto for violence nor a hymn to despair.”
Though generally opposing militarism, anarchists nevertheless frequently find themselves taking up arms and militarizing their movements. From the formal anarchist military columns in Spain, the trained resistance units in France, and the collective arming of men and even women in Oaxaca and Rojava, anarchists seem to have quite a habit of going to war.
In Anti-Militarists At War, Christopher Scott Thompson (author of Pagan Anarchism) treats the complicated relationship between anarchism and militarism (as well as the treacherous alliances with capitalist states that anarchists have often made) with a critical yet sympathetic touch, and with an eye to the most important question facing anarchists today: what can be done when the world marches to war?

Ernie is done with magic. She doesn’t want to touch the stuff again … especially not after what happened to Elias. Better to live out the rest of her sorry life as a middle-aged woman in a drab apartment, downing pints in a nearby pub.
But now, a familiar dog’s shown up with a warning. The Mage-Killer is back and is forging a weapon that will make all the elements submit to him.
Only Ernie can stop him — if she can get her magic back. Though to do that, she’ll need to confront her own guilt over Elias’s death so she can defeat his murderer once and for all.
Ernie and the Mage-Killer is a witty and thrilling urban fantasy, woven together with the perfect mix of cozy and profound.

An Ariel Moravec Occult Mystery
Book Three in the Ariel Moravec Series
Occult detective Ariel Moravec investigates an ancient artefact and a disappearing dog...
When Ariel Moravec and her grandfather are called to investigate the provenance of an ancient relic at the Heydonian Museum, it hardly has the makings of a thrilling or dangerous case.
But mysterious happenings are afoot across town; there have been sightings of a shadowy dog that disappears when photographed, and as she goes about her business, Ariel has the distinct feeling that she is being followed.
Drawn deeper into the case, Ariel can't help but wonder what relation these happenings have to Leonora Blake, Dr Moravec's deceased tutor of magic, who penned the mysterious novel 'The Carnelian Moon'.
As it approaches full moon, Ariel and her grandfather race against unknown forces to unveil the conspiracy surrounding the relic before it disappears forever...

Pagan Political Theology
RITONA is pleased to announce an updated edition of one of our most popular titles: True To The Earth: Pagan Political Theology.
Originally released in 2018, True to the Earth is the first English work to offer a robust explanation of the power of pagan cosmologies and their relevance for modern environmental, political, and social crises.
This updated edition includes a foreword from Sarah Lyons and a new introduction from the author.
Organic pluralism, an embrace of multiple, conflicting truths, and a deep understanding of the interconnection between humans and the natural world: all were core values of oral and animist cultures. As global climate change and the collapse of Empire throw the earth and our modern societies into crisis, these core values are what humanity and the nature it destroys desperately need again.
In True To The Earth: Pagan Political Theology, author and professor of philosophy Kadmus weaves a narrative from the lore of Celtic, Greek, Norse, and indigenous traditions to show us how we once saw the world and how we can see it again. He unveils the modern assumptions which blind us from seeing the past and what we've lost, challenges the core foundations of literal, universalist thinking, and shakes us free from the unseen bonds monotheism has placed upon our understanding of ourselves and the world.

A Guide to Re-Enchant Your Life
“To be pagan is to be connected to the land in a way that stands outside of—and often in opposition to—the concerns of the urban and of Empire. Even though the official histories of humanity always focus on them, empires and the cities they form are mere temporary interruptions to a more organic and mostly unwritten history of human life.
It is a history of relationship to land, of connection to it, of life lived in relative harmony with the nature of which humans are but one small part. It is not just a history, however, but a still-living reality for much of the world, and one we can still connect to and become part of.”
In a world of uncertainty, political upheaval, climate change, and endless consumerism, in alienated societies bereft of meaning and connection to nature or community, what does it mean to be Pagan?
From druid, theorist, and writer Rhyd Wildermuth comes Being Pagan, a guide to re-enchant your world. Exploring the meaning of pagan connection—to time, to land, to body, to nature, and to Other—through history, personal experiences, and myth, Wildermuth offers simple yet profound guidance for anyone searching for a deeper way to live.

Divinatory Essays on Illness and Narrative
What does it mean to truly live with the awareness of death?
Interruption is a beautiful, unflinching, and relentlessly hopeful collection of linked essays from Cameron Steele, a writer who survived three breast cancer diagnoses in three years as a new mother, a scholar of illness narratives, and a working astrologer and tarot reader.
Drawing on ancient and modern occult texts, psychoanalysis, contemporary memoirs and literature, and her own client sessions, Interruption explores motherhood, illness, love, spirituality, and capitalism, without ever settling for the too-easy answer of despair. More than a cancer memoir, it’s an illuminating and life-affirming love song to family, nature, the self, and the world we share together.
Written by a prize-winning poet, essayist, and former investigative journalist, and born from her Substack newsletter “Interruptions” (a current bestseller, ranked among the platform’s top 100 literature newsletters), Interruption: Divinatory Essays on Illness and Narrative expands Cameron Steele’s original dispatches into a compelling meditation on what it means not just to survive, but also to truly live.

The Best of the Archdruid Report
Thanks to our reliance — and addiction — to petroleum, industrial civilization is collapsing. But rather than the sudden mass calamity imagined by Hollywood films and prophets of doom, it’s a “long descent,” a series of systemic catastrophes which we can no longer prevent.
What can we do in such a time? With wit, kindness, and an astounding understanding of history and political forces, John Michael Greer suggests, “collapse now, and avoid the rush.”
Collapse Now and Avoid the Rush collects thirty one of Greer’s best essays from the wildly popular Archdruid Report, each even more timely than when they were first written and selected to give readers a practical understanding of humanity’s situation and what can be really done.
Available both as hardcover (digital cloth with dust jacket) and softcover (perfectbound), each printed on a heavier, archival-quality paper.

How does capitalism work (and why isn’t it working)? How do the rich use race and gender strife to divide and control the poor? What was life like before Capitalism, and what might it be like after? And what’s the relationship between Marx’s ideas about alienation and the Pagan desire to re-enchant the world?
All That Is Sacred Is Profaned is the text from Rhyd Wildermuth’s popular introductory course on Marxism, now available in print. Written for those without privileged academic experience and those too busy trying to survive to read economic theory, this book uses real-world examples to explain how capitalism operates, why it came about, and how it might be stopped.
All That Is Sacred Is Profaned isn’t just an economic or political text. Instead, Pagan and druid Rhyd Wildermuth teases out the intersections between Marx’s ideas and the core worldviews of animism and Paganism: the magical transformation of the world through labor, the inspirited nature of the things we humans create and trade, and the sacred aspects of the world crushed beneath the demands of profit.
All That Is Sacred Is Profaned in arranged in five sections:
Chapter One: What Capitalism is (and isn’t), and how it has come to control the way we see the world and each other
Chapter Two: How Capitalism works (and doesn’t), and why owners are always at odds with the people who work for them.
Chapter Three: Why Capitalism replaced feudalism and other forms of society, and how our modern image of the past is shaped by capitalism, not by history.
Chapter Four: How Colonialism and Slavery relate to Capitalism, and how racism and sexism developed as management strategies to keep the poor divided
Chapter Five: Why Capitalism cannot continue forever, how its internal contradictions are destroying nature and humanity, and how we might use Marx’s ideas to survive our current crises.
In addition, All That Is Sacred Is Profaned includes study questions, a glossary, and additional material for those who wish to learn more.

Deepening Your Relationship With Nature, Spirits, and Humankind
“Kinship, to me, means striving to truly understand the many beings around us — human, plant, animal, and spirit — and building community with all of them.
Not just the ones we feel an immediate affinity with. Not just the ones who are nice to us. All of them. Because they’re part of our communities already, whether we like it or not.”
From Asa West, the author of the wildly-popular Five Principles of Green Witchcraft, comes her exciting second release with RITONA: The Witch’s Kin: Deepening Your Relationship With Nature, Spirit, and Humankind.
In this book, Asa West offers a profoundly radical — yet deeply intuitive — framework for relating to all the others around us. Drawing from the deep wells of animist, scientific, and magical traditions, as well as her own deeply kind insights into human and other-than-human relations, The Witch’s Kin offers practical advice for being in the world with others.

Gods&Radicals Press is pleased to offer two of our most-viewed practical essays, updated and expanded in print form.
Solidarity Networks (viewed over 20,000 times online) presents a concrete guide for organizing with others for mutual solidarity and safety. What Solidarity Networks are, what they are not, and step-by-step instructions on how to form one with your friends are all explained in clear language.
Emergency Survival (read over 15,000 times online) is an expanded and updated guide written by an emergency service planner and instructor with 15 years experience, lays out in plain language the basic skills needed for preparing for crisis situations.
Unlike many guides for survival, however, both essays together focus not on individualism but on mutual aid and solidarity. Rather than the loner apocalyptic fantasies mass media feeds us, these comprise “A Practical Guide For Surviving The Collapse of Empire With Others.”

Ecospirituality & the Mythic
In ancient myths from throughout the world, the appearance of a white deer presages a warning, leads humans to crucial crossroads, and points us to a gate to better understanding our our relationship to the world. Also, throughout history and in science, the white deer has been a sign of imbalance, impending peril, and also profound moments of opening and transformation.
In The White Deer: Ecospirituality and the Mythic, Melinda Reidinger chases the white deer down mythic paths and startling (and sometimes shocking) tracks. From the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand to the blue blood of horseshoe crabs, “monstrous” ladies and fallen knights to Magyar star-myths and desert forests, The White Deer speaks to a relationship with the living world we’ve forgotten but can learn to find again.
Deeply researched and densely rich with details from science, history, myth, and dream, and written with a warmly engaging voice, Melinda Reidinger’s opus also features the haunting interior illustration work of James Hutton and a foreword by Gordon White.

Gods&Radicals was started after Alley Valkyrie & Rhyd Wildermuth gave a presentation about Capitalism and Paganism at a conference. The room was packed, people spilled outside, and both Alley and Rhyd found themselves sitting on a counter ledge so more people could fit.
A Pagan Anti-Capitalist Primer is the zine they handed out, and Gods&Radicals now offers an expanded, professionally-printed version.

A Guide to Re-Enchant Your Life
“To be pagan is to be connected to the land in a way that stands outside of—and often in opposition to—the concerns of the urban and of Empire. Even though the official histories of humanity always focus on them, empires and the cities they form are mere temporary interruptions to a more organic and mostly unwritten history of human life.
It is a history of relationship to land, of connection to it, of life lived in relative harmony with the nature of which humans are but one small part. It is not just a history, however, but a still-living reality for much of the world, and one we can still connect to and become part of.”
In a world of uncertainty, political upheaval, climate change, and endless consumerism, in alienated societies bereft of meaning and connection to nature or community, what does it mean to be Pagan?
From druid, theorist, and writer Rhyd Wildermuth comes Being Pagan, a guide to re-enchant your world. Exploring the meaning of pagan connection—to time, to land, to body, to nature, and to Other—through history, personal experiences, and myth, Wildermuth offers simple yet profound guidance for anyone searching for a deeper way to live.
(This is for the print edition. For the digital edition, see this link.)
Our best-selling and most global title…
From poet, anarchist, and pagan Christopher Scott Thompson, Pagan Anarchism explores the history of anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist movements and discovers alongside them a fierce Pagan rebellion against the State.
Witchpunks, rebels, magicians, and revolutionaries will find this book both a compelling history and an inspiring manifesto.

In a world of uncertainty, political upheaval, climate change, and endless consumerism, in alienated societies bereft of meaning, connection to nature and community, what does it mean to be Pagan?

A Primer For Everyone
Ritona is pleased to announce the publication of the latest book by druid, theorist, and author Rhyd Wildermuth.
A People’s Guide To Tarot: A Primer for Everyone is exactly what it claims to be. Rather than the dense and obscure language of most guides to magic and divination, A People’s Guide to Tarot shows how the skill of reading cards — and the mindset that comes with it — is available to everyone.
A People’s Guide To Tarot includes clear and broadly-accessible explanations of card meanings, tips for learning how to ask the right questions, and multiple ways of understanding the relationships between the cards and the reader.

Pagan Political Theology
RITONA is pleased to announce an updated edition of one of our most popular titles: True To The Earth: Pagan Political Theology.
Originally released in 2018, True to the Earth is the first English work to offer a robust explanation of the power of pagan cosmologies and their relevance for modern environmental, political, and social crises.
This updated edition includes a foreword from Sarah Lyons and a new introduction from the author.
Organic pluralism, an embrace of multiple, conflicting truths, and a deep understanding of the interconnection between humans and the natural world: all were core values of oral and animist cultures. As global climate change and the collapse of Empire throw the earth and our modern societies into crisis, these core values are what humanity and the nature it destroys desperately need again.
In True To The Earth: Pagan Political Theology, author and professor of philosophy Kadmus weaves a narrative from the lore of Celtic, Greek, Norse, and indigenous traditions to show us how we once saw the world and how we can see it again. He unveils the modern assumptions which blind us from seeing the past and what we've lost, challenges the core foundations of literal, universalist thinking, and shakes us free from the unseen bonds monotheism has placed upon our understanding of ourselves and the world.

Deepening Your Relationship With Nature, Spirits, and Humankind
“Kinship, to me, means striving to truly understand the many beings around us — human, plant, animal, and spirit — and building community with all of them.
Not just the ones we feel an immediate affinity with. Not just the ones who are nice to us. All of them. Because they’re part of our communities already, whether we like it or not.”
From Asa West, the author of the wildly-popular Five Principles of Green Witchcraft, comes her exciting second release with RITONA: The Witch’s Kin: Deepening Your Relationship With Nature, Spirit, and Humankind.
In this book, Asa West offers a profoundly radical — yet deeply intuitive — framework for relating to all the others around us.

RITONA Press is thrilled to announce Courting The Wild Queen, by poet, herbalist, and mystic Seán Pádraig O'Donoghue.
“Just as a god might be the mind that arises from a forest, a river, a planet or a cluster of galaxies, so too each person’s consciousness is a collective consciousness born of the matter and energy that make up our beings.”
Courting The Wild Queen is a deeply poetic exploration of the ancient and modern world through the mythic and the ecological. Mycelium networks spreading their tangled threads of meaning beneath the forest floor reveal to the reader our own tapestries of meaning, while the ancient lore of Irish Kings and Queens of Land unveil the lost—but recoverable—centres of human existence.

With your freedom, what would you make of this world?
Circling the Star is a practical journey into the esoteric wisdom of the Iron Pentacle for activists, witches, rebels, and mystics seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and of the world they wish to transform.
Circling the Star offers the seeker a spiritual philosophy which will empower their resistance to capital and Empire. Weaving together psychology, Egyptian polytheism, queer and occult theory, Kabbalah, intersectional feminism, and Feri witchcraft, witch and therapist Anthony Rella offers us a powerful manual for personal and political liberation.
Those already familiar with the workings of the Iron Pentacle but seeking a more engaged witchcraft will find Circling the Star invaluable. Those new to these workings will find Circling the Star an ideal introduction. And the many of us wary of mass-market glossy ‘magic’ texts and white-light spiritual bypassing will find Circling the Star an exhilarating glimpse of what engaged, radical witchcraft can be again.
Drawing on his years of magical practice and spiritual study, Tony blends his own devotional practice with his training in psychotherapy. The result is a deep understanding, coupled with a dash of poetry. He calls on us to open to states of wonder. To plumb our depths. To be strengthened and renewed.
These tools can change you, too, if you let them.

“Their world lies behind ours like a bright shadow of reality: the shadow does not reflect what 'we have built (or destroyed), but what could be.”
What’s it like to speak to a god? Or more importantly, how do you know you’re actually speaking to one and not a voice you made up in your head? Why try to speak to gods at all? And what do we actually do about what they’re saying?
With earthly prose and her often hilarious wit, Druid and writer Judith O’Grady offers answers to these questions, along with deeply profound insight into the implications of modern animism in an overly-industrialized (and dying) world. Greatly expanding upon her earlier work (God-Speaking), Judith recounts her own experiences and rituals—from cleaning trash along river-banks to awakening sleeping spirits in abandoned urban places. Gods-Speaking narrates a world full of meaning in a time where we’ve forgotten humans are not the only beings with something to say.
“If you’ve ever just wanted to know how to talk to gods and change the world, and you’d rather learn how to do it from a kind elderly Druid woman (rather than some dense and overwrought esotericist who’s like 25 years old and can’t tell the difference between a Birch and an Alder), I think this book will mean as much to you as it meant to me.”
-Rhyd Wildermuth, from the Foreword.

“This is the necromantic power of love, revealed to us at last by Dead Hermes. And by raising the ghosts of the past we are given visions of the future…”
In the nine missives which comprise The Dead Hermes Epistolary, trickster poet Slippery Elm leads the reader away from the pale world of dying meaning into the ever-living dream world of our forgotten past.
Whispers of wet forests, conspiracies of witches and indigenous elders, the erotic lyric of the troubadours, the arguments of Sephardic poets, Arabic mystic texts on agriculture, perfumed Andalusian gardens where kings bow before the power of beauty, the dead dancing with the living at a wedding: all these are the ghosts which lead us to the transgressive and liberating magic of Hermes Chthonios.
The Dead Hermes Epistolary is a work of deep poetic beauty and an act of soul retrieval for the revolutionary spirit, lost as it’s become in the pale half-light of the internet and Empire’s relentless war against meaning. Slippery Elm deftly awakens the knowledge hidden in places we’ve forgotten to look, all the while awakening in the reader the deep power of words and the profound magic in radical friendship.

Gods&Radicals Press is thrilled to re-publish Asa West’s popular booklet, Five Principles of Green Witchcraft.
In an era of climate change and late capitalism, when everything sacred is paved over or commodified, how do you attune yourself to the rhythms of nature? How do you listen for—and hear—the language of the land on which you live? How do you push your magical practice beyond rote rituals into true communion with the spirits around you?
This short book explores green witchcraft through the lens of five principles:
1. The Forest Speaks with One Voice (unity)
2. Twilight Precedes Starlight (liminality)
3. Witchcraft Lives in the Body (embodiment)
4. The Witch Always Pays Her Coin (reciprocity)
5. The Goddess Reveals Herself in Silence (silence)
Originally published as a wildly popular and sold-out zine, Gods&Radicals Press now offers Five Principles of Green Witchcraft by special arrangement with the author.

How AI, Philanthropy, and “Evergreen” Media Are Reshaping Intellectual Labor
The demonstration in Rio reveals not only ideological alignments, but also the workings of an ecosystem that connects global finance, intellectual production, and political mobilization.
It’s worth questioning the moral authority of predominantly Christian Nations like the USA that condemn repression by States of the Muslim world, while employing aggressive policing, surveillance, sexist norms or legislations, and coercive policies domestically or internationally.
If there is only one god with whom to make a covenant, and if He is the sole master of the universe, then the contract is signed under duress.
He only becomes a unique god by virtue of existing among other gods: His importance is affirmed when his worshippers no longer command a kingdom that controls a Temple, but instead need a god sturdy enough to survive without a home and rugged enough to secure his people’s independent existence without any government to support them.
Liberty-washing: the practice of selectively invoking the language of liberty, democratic restoration, or rule of law to legitimize coercive foreign action, while disregarding sovereignty, international legal constraints, or comparable liberties at home.
From Celticist, poet, and researcher Amanda Coleman White comes Hinterlands: sixty lush and myth-haunted poems evoking the otherworldly landscapes and dream-soaked visions of the hinterlands lingering just outside the reach of factories and highways, as well as Jung’s “hinterlands of man’s mind.”
“Inspired by the Romantics, by Celtic myth, by her own experiences, and by same visions seeping out through works like George MacDonald’s fairytales, Hinterlands is a startling poetic map into the Otherworld always around us.”
—Rhyd Wildermuth, from the foreword
