Happy New Year, Tolkien Poppers!

I hope that you have been conquering your resolutions and easing back into a sense of normality.

To curb the adjustment, I give to you an interview with Kaitlyn Facista of Tea with Tolkien! We talk about her upcoming book Into the Heart of the Middle-earth: Exploring Faith and Fellowship in J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, which releases on February 20th!

Along with some insights into her book, Kaitlyn gives us the 411 into her own Tolkien journey, how she created Tea with Tolkien, and some of her spiritual Tolkien takes. If you are deeply connected to The Lord of the Rings, whether your spiritual, religious, or none of the above, then you will enjoy this book and this conversation.

He’s collaborated with (Re)thinking Faith and has an amazing line of art and original designs that have a pop culture and philosophy vibe that I freaking love. You can see how he really captured my love for punk and Tolkien with his style. So, if you want to supportTolkien Pop! or Tillich Today, go get yourself some merch!
