Our Courses
Since 2019, Ritona Books has offered courses on Paganism, Witchcraft, Political Theory, and regenerative practices as part of our mission to make knowledge accessible and affordable to all who desire it.
We now offer these courses in a self-guided format to make them even more accessible.
Each course is designed and taught by one of our many authors, and makes use of videos, texts, guided practices, reflection questions, and curated further reading lists.
