Description
In 1966, in the Appalachian Mountains of Northeast Georgia, A teacher and his students founded a quarterly magazine that they named Foxfire, after a phosphorescent lichen. In 1972, several articles from the magazine were published in book form and the acclaimed Foxfire series was born. Some thirty years later, the books continue to teach a philosophy of simplicity in living that is truly enduring in its appeal. Much more than "how to" books, the Foxfire series is a publishing phenomenon and a way of life, teaching creative self-sufficiency, the art of natural remedies, home crafts, and other country folkways, fascinating to everyone interested in rediscovering the virtues of simple living.
Description
This seventh volume celebrates the spiritual heritage of Appalachia, and includes sections on baptisms, foot washing, and the songs and rituals of a variety of organized religions in the region-from Baptists to Methodists to Pentecostals to Presbyterians-as well as a variety of the kind of spirited firsthand narrative accounts from Appalachian community members that exemplify the Foxfire style.
