A native of Texas, I fell in love with Tennessee in the early 1990's. My children & grandchildren have all been raised here amongst the stunning natural beauty of the forests, mountains & waterfalls.
After returning to Texas in 2014 to care for my mother, my husband John and I, married in 2017, would talk of Tennessee often. In 2023, we had the opportunity to permanently relocate and we made the jump!
We are both semi-retired now, working part-time but busier than ever building our homestead, diversifying our income and making an honest attempt to put every square inch of this place to work.
Our home, Folklore, is a homestead in the mystical Appalachian foothills of Celina, Tennessee. Guided by the ancestors of this special place, you will find us connecting to spirit, cultivating produce, pressure canning, building furniture & decor from reclaimed wood, handcrafting skin balms, perfume & cologne oil as well as candles.
Things to note about living here: The mountains create their own weather. Wildlife are curious & will bring you messages. The land will tell you what to grow. You will see animals that you cannot explain. The wind will talk to you & call your name. You will see lights where there are none. The foggy mist has a life of its own & may pass your window on a 100-degree day. The river stones have their own special properties. Collect with intent & in the direction that the water flows.
Lean in & let spirit fill your sails,
Karen
'An amazingly wide-ranging book, showing that the world's religious texts can be a force for good today' John Barton, author of A History of the Bible
In our increasingly secular world, holy texts are at best seen as irrelevant, and at worst as an excuse to incite violence, hatred and division. The Quran, the Torah and the Bible are often employed selectively to underwrite arbitrary and subjective views. They are believed to be divinely ordained; they are claimed to contain eternal truths.
But as Karen Armstrong, a world authority on religious affairs, shows in this fascinating journey through millennia of history, this narrow reading of scripture is a relatively recent phenomenon. Armstrong argues that only by rediscovering an open engagement with their holy texts will the world’s religions be able to curtail arrogance and intolerance. And if scripture is used to engage with the world in more meaningful and compassionate ways, we will find that it still has a great deal to teach us.
‘Magisterial… A dazzling accomplishment’ New York Times
‘Glorious… Armstrong is the most articulate and generous-hearted exegete of religion writing in English at the present time’ A.N. Wilson, New Statesman
