Christmas Gift Ideas for Everyday Heroes

Folklife Magazine Volume 5 is available now on loremnotipsum.com. In light of salt’s ubiquitous yet understated presence and influence, Volume 5 of Folklife is devoted to this mighty mineral. Salt for buoyancy, for health, for preservation, and for the recollections and tastes of childhood—a feature of this land we tend to overlook as fundamental to survival.

Folklife Magazine Volume 4 is here. We hear stories from those who are mothers, who have mothers, who changed as mothers, who wove traditions as mothers, and who used not much more than matchsticks, as mothers. We journey to the later years of life with memory of mothers and their passing, and we find our mother in the world around us. Mother, here, now, always. As we recognize how we have been sustained and nurtured, perhaps we can be inspired to practice a reverence for our essential mother, the earth, in this pandemic world . . . for she is what will bring us back to life. (And chock-full of so much more. We think you're going to love it.)
