"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."

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.

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.

"From here, I can taste the falling watersIn the air."Gods&Radicals Press is thrilled to offer Baedd & Other Poems, our first poetry chapbook through our mystic and esoteric imprint, Ritona.From poet and writer Twm Gwynne (published in A Beautiful Resistance) comes a short collection of profound poetry inspired by raw life, deep nature, and the spirit in all things."Twm's subtle grasp of the profound power in simple words manifests in poems that startle and linger long after you've read them."-Rhyd Wildermuth

A Beautiful Resistance: After Empire explores the truths we are all beginning to understand, the whispers on the plague winds, the portents in the polluted sky, the omens in the failing harvests and the chthonic call in the rising seas. Everywhere we look we see it: Empire is ending.But no Empire ends politely nor quietly, nor do the torturous forms of their control merely disappear with them. Centuries of oppression, of discipline, of the shaping of our thoughts and dreams will not merely go away when the Capitols and Capital no longer exert their mythic power over our lives.A Beautiful Resistance: After Empire is a ritual work of re-imagining, a revel and a parade back into the wilds of our own dreaming, our own symbols, our own forms of connection and community decoupled and divorced from what Empire has made of us.A Beautiful Resistance: After Empire is edited by Rhyd Wildermuth with the brilliant design work of Casandra Johns and features the literary, poetic, fictive, and graphic work of 27 artists and writers, including:Christopher Scott Thompson · Mirna Wabi-Sabi · Emma Kathryn ·Peter Grey · Rune Kjær Rasmussen · TWM GWYNNE · Ulrich Gehmann · V. Crowe · Shane Burley · Kathleen Yearwood · Frank Seeburger · TaHlia Palmer · Sonali Roy · Peter Mark Adams · Finnchuill · Jane Skjoldli · Maddy Hag · Allyson Shaw · Lia Vé · Mason Parker · Ayling Zulema Dominguez · Laura Welsman · Slippery Elm · LAURIE RAE DIETRICH · Mel Hill · Bea Xu ·Z.

"A story like "I don't matter" seems persuasive when it's ricocheting off the interior of our skulls but makes no sense from the outside. The truth is, we matter. Our bodies are literally matter. Once we exist, our very existence is an influence upon the world. Having a body means I take up space, I consume resources that could go to others, I am participating in life and culture and relationships. If I am in a room, someone sees me, and my presence impacts them in a certain way. There is no opting out."From writer, witch, and licensed therapist Anthony Rella comes a collection of short essays on emotions, boundaries, disappointment, guilt, hope, shame, intimacy, and connection. Written with the warm voice of a caring and patient friend, these essays help guide the reader to their own center where they can find power, balance, and joy not despite difficult moments and emotions, but because of them.

In this time of economic, social, and environmental collapse, we cannot rely on governments or leaders to guide us through the chaos. Yet this is no reason for despair, because these crises open old doors we thought rusted shut and old paths we thought too overgrown to ever find again.Reclaiming Ourselves is a guide to those paths and a key to those doors. With her clear and welcoming writing, Emma Kathryn presents an accessible and insightful map to rediscovering what we have always been capable of: reclaiming our relationship to ourselves, to our bodies, to the land around us, to healing, to food, to community, and to spirituality. Easily adaptable for any circumstance, her practical advice and tips on becoming more secure in this difficult world and her discussions of the struggles many of us face in reconnecting to ourselves feel like the words of a kind friend reminding us we will be okay.Reclaiming Ourselves, by Emma Kathryn, is an ideal book for everyone seeking strength and connection to not only survive but thrive and be a light for others in these dark times.

Solidarity Networks & Emergency Survival is a practical guide--in plain and direct language--for organizers, activists, and individuals looking to build networks based on mutual aid and prepare for crisis situations.

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.
