We’re about to turn ten years old!
On 14 February, 2014, Alley Valkyrie and Rhyd Wildermuth gave a presentation at a pagan conference. To prepare for it, they created a small photo-copied zine called A Pagan Anti-Capitalist Primer, and showed up with a stack of them to the assigned room.
They could barely get in, as the room was already full. Alley and Rhyd had to sit on a counter because there were no more chairs and the floor was full, and people crowded the hallway outside to listen.
That evening, after seeing so much interest, and asking why no one else was talking about the intersections of paganism and anti-capitalism, they decided to found Gods&Radicals on Beltane (1 May), 2014.
A lot has happened since then. We’ve now published 38 books, thousands of essays, and offered courses to hundreds of people.
And we’re about to get even bigger this year. We’ve already signed several authors for books in 2024, with two coming out over the next few months. We’ll also be expanding our course offerings, and will also be expanding into new genres of books, especially fiction!
In the following weeks, we’ll be announcing a lot of great things, including upcoming titles from Charlotte Hussey and Asa West, as well as book giveaways and special sales.
To begin the celebrations a bit early, all digital editions of our books are 40% off until 14 February, 2024! Go here to see the sale.
And as a reminder, our next course starts 10 March, 2024: Being Pagan, with Rhyd Wildermuth. As always, enrollment is sliding scale, and this might be the last opportunity to catch this particular course, as Rhyd Wildermuth is developing a new course for Autumn, 2024.
