Why should Pagans care about Capitalism? This Primer, written by Alley Valkyrie and Rhyd Wildermuth, explains what Capitalism is, what it isn't, and why anyone who loves the earth and the spirits should fight it. An expanded edition of the photocopied zine distributed at the presentation which started Gods&Radicals, A Pagan Anti-Capitalist Primer is an essential introduction, accessible to anyone regardless of their previous knowledge. Includes a glossary of terms and suggestions for further reading.

"Eternal Summer is founded on the death of Winter...and for thousands of years we have been stealing fuel for our fire from the underworld: the bones and breath of dead worlds." A Beautiful Resistance:The Fire Is Here is the second journal of Gods&amp;Radicals. Edited by awenydd and poet Lorna Smithers and foreworded by UK anarchist and animist Emma Restall Orr, The Fire is Here continues the forest-edged fury and spirit-soaked rebellion of Everything We Already Are. Themed upon the murder of Winter at the hands of our technological gluttony, the 28 writers, poets, and artists of this issue dance around the ancient flames of Beltane to summon into being the world we know is possible

A Beautiful Resistance: The Fire is Here

A revolt led by a faerie queen... Factories destroyed by elves... Slave revolts led by a god of ecstasy... Landlords poisoned by witches.... Uprisings initiated by a goddess of ame... Fantastic myths... or a blueprint for revolution? Pagan Anarchism is a history and a manifesto for magicians, witches, rebels, and heretics seeking to fight capitalism and authority with the help of the spirits, the land, and the dead.

With your freedom, what would you make of this world? Gods&Radicals Press is pleased to announce our newest release: Circling the Star, by Anthony Rella. 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. -T. Thorn Coyle Featuring illustrations from Alley Valkyrie, cover art from Li Pallas, and a foreword from T. Thorn Coyle, Circling the Star is due for release on 14 February, 2018, the 3-year anniversary of the birth of the beautiful resistance that is Gods&Radicals.

The tea-soaked and rain-drenched musings of a nomadic punk bard. Encounters with the gods, the dead, and the spirits of forest and stream. Musings for the dreaming rebel in the leaf-strewn tavern, the urban poet following the course of buried rivers beneath her feet, and all those who await the return of the gods and the uprising of the trees. Your Face Is A Forest is a collection of essays, poetry, and travel journals from Rhyd Wildermuth. This is the second edition of Your Face Is a Forest, now published by Gods&Radicals Press

Your Face Is A Forest

"The Empire under which we all suffer, under which we are all ruled, was born upon the factory floor and upon the witch's stake. But in the char of those burnings and the soot from those smokestacks we can see its impending death..." Beauty stolen in a tavern of a Scottish port. A dead Cathar's caress as a man waits for bootsteps that will drag him away. Rain-drenched grief over iron bridges. Plastic fairies littering an ancient stone circle. Sex amongst bones and the howls of the Hunter. A new collection of essays, mystic prose, and poems from Gods&Radicals co-founder Rhyd Wildermuth, including the expanded and previously un-released text of his speech, "Witches In a Crumbling Empire." Witches In A Crumbling Empire weaves together love, resistance, and magic into a ritual not to hold up the pillars of Empire as they fall, but to dance as they collapse

Witches In A Crumbling Empire

Much more than traditions and customs are lost when an animist culture is suppressed or destroyed. Into the abyss of forgetting goes also an entire way of seeing humans, animals, gods, and the rest of nature, as well as the relationships these things constantly forge with each other.These were also the worldviews of ancient Pagan cultures before the dominance of writing and monotheism supplanted them. 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.Well-researched and erudite, yet written in an engaging and accessible manner, True To The Earth offers back to us what we have lost, and gives us fertile soil from which a new earth-centered political understanding can arise.

"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.
