Our Courses

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.

Course FAQ

  • As long as you need!

    We recommend you devote one week per chapter, but we've designed all our courses to be flexible. Take your time with each lesson, and only proceed to the next one when you feel ready.

    And you can take the course over and over whenever you like!

  • Once you enroll in a course, you have full and permanent access to all course chapters and lessons. This includes videos, course text downloads, practical work, and curated supplemental reading lists.

  • No. After feedback from participants and instructors over the years, we no longer include live discussions or separate chat servers for our courses.

    We've heard these were too difficult for everyone to schedule into their busy lives, especially with so many different time zones represented.

  • Absolutely! Each course has one or more public lessons which can be viewed before purchasing enrollment. Find these by scrolling down the course lesson page -- the ones without a lock symbol are public!

  • Thanks so much for your support! You can email us at distro@abeautifulresistance.com. Please include the name you signed up with and the course you'd like to take as part of your benefit.
