The Beckoning by Deborah Bell

About this Substack
This is a Substack about stories. The art and craft of them. The deeper meaning behind myths, legends and folklore. And the way that stories shape us. Sometimes, I’ll share stories from my own life.

About the Writer
I’m a wandering Scottish writer. I felt a beckoning to live a nomadic life for a while and I followed it. Now I travel across Britain and beyond, from the Scottish Highlands to the south coast of England, from villages to cities, and from old vicarages to remote farmhouses. Sometimes, I’ll collect folktales from the places I visit then share them with you, exploring their deeper meaning and what they can teach us.
