Our Online Course Platform is Now Live!
Self-guided courses from Alley Valkyrie, Asa West, and Rhyd Wildermuth now available
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.
The Following Courses are now Available:
Instructed by Alley Valkyrie, this six chapter course includes 12 high-quality videos, curated supplemental reading lists, and suggested practical work to help participants understand how we’ve become disconnected from land and how we can reconnect with it. Preview the course here.
Expanding upon his book, All That is Sacred is Profaned: A Pagan Guide to Marxism, this five chapter course by Rhyd Wildermuth looks at capitalism, what it is, how it works (and doesn’t), how it came about, how it changed the way we see ourselves and each other, and what can come instead. Includes five high-quality videos, curated supplemental reading lists, reflection questions, and a digital download of All That Is Sacred is Profaned. Preview the course here.
The return of the popular course based on the even more popular zine by Asa West, Five Principles of Green Witchcraft guides participants through videos, rituals, and reflection towards a closer connection to magic, spirits, and the natural world. Includes a digital download of the course text. Preview the course here.
More Information About Our Courses
Our courses are now designed to be more flexible for participants, and they can be done on your own time and schedule. There’s no time limit for course completion, either: participants gain immediate and permanent access to all chapters, lessons, videos, downloads, and all other material.
In August, we’ll release new editions of courses from Emma Kathryn (Becoming Wild), Anthony Rella (Circling the Star), and Rhyd Wildermuth (Being Pagan). New courses are already being designed for September and the rest of 2024.
