"What lies in the cauldron now you have done away with the knowledge of wise women? Split the witches in half? Killed the giants? Driven to the seas the most ancient of boars? You are on the wrong quest, looking for the wrong grail, the cure-all that does not exist." 
Gods&Radicals is pleased to re-release the print edition of Lorna Smithers' second collection of mystical and mythic poetry and prose, The Broken Cauldron. 
At the centre of ancient British mythology stands the cauldron; a symbol of inspiration, wisdom, rebirth, the womb of Ceridwen, Old Mother Universe. What happens when it lies shattered, the universe fragmented, the world out of kilter? 
First published in 2018, Gods&Radicals Press is thrilled to bring The Broken Cauldron back into print through our imprint Ritona. Read Rhyd Wildermuth's review of The Broken Cauldron

Gods&Radicals Press is thrilled to announce that we are re-releasing Gatherer of Souls, by Lorna Smithers. Originally printed in 2018 and out of print, this collection of prose and poems by awenydd Lorna Smithers lures the reader into the mist-veiled forests of time to meet Gwyn Ap Nudd.'"Chasing the chaser into his myths, hunting with the hunter into the place from which dreams and reality are both born, Lorna leads the reader into the wet caverns below the coal mines, across the ice fields long-since melted into sea, into a time long before witch-blood and wolf-blood could ever be stolen to build Empire.As with her other books (Enchanting the Shadowlands and The Broken Cauldron), Gatherer of Souls seems at first to be an innocuous collection of prose and poems. Part of Lorna's particular magic (and her path as an awenydd), however, is to lull the reader into a serene sense of wonder and familiarity before moving the earth beneath their feet. Like walking through a forest shrouded in mist, her narrative voice feels safe, close, quiet, but veils from your sight until it is time the unearthly truths she wants to show you."-Rhyd Wildermuth

Gatherer of Souls

"From here, I can taste the falling waters In 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

"The Book of Onei is not The Book," my father once said. I remember him still, walking beside me on that sunless beach-but was it before he had died, or after? "The Book of Onei is only a guide, a book of riddles that don't always lead to any answers, a book of truths within lies. I have been to Onei many times, but I have never been to any of the cities or nations mentioned in the Book of Onei, nor have I seen their ruins, nor met their citizens. As far as I can tell they do not exist, and most likely they never existed-not even in Onei." "Then what is the Book of Onei?" I asked him. "Is it just a fraud?" "The Book of Onei is both a key and a lock," he said. His face was haunted, as if he always listened and always waited-perhaps for a footfall. "Those stories mean something, but I do not know what. The Book of Onei hints at something, but I am afraid to ask." From Christopher Scott Thompson (author of Pagan Anarchism and If In Ruins We Must Live) comes The Book of Onei, an antinomian dream grimoire. The Book of Onei is a rare work of myth that is simultaneously fantasy and a ritual guide to your own dreaming.
