Folkroots

Folkroots is a regular nonfiction column appearing in Realms of Fantasy that deals with folklore, myth, and related topics.  The column appeared with the very first issue of the magazine back in October 1994 and proved to be one of its most popular features.  The founding editor of this column was Terri Windling, who also handled writing many of the articles herself over the years. Terri continued providing authorial material and editorial guidance for this column until the October 2008 issue before moving on, a run of fourteen years.  Her handpicked editorial successors were Ari Berk & Kristen McDermott, both of whom had contributed a number of articles to Folkroots in the past.

While we can’t post the articles here without the permission of the authors, Terri has collected many of the Folkroots articles published in RoF while she was the editor.  You can find them on the Journal of Mythic Arts website by following the provided link.
