From Pensicola-The Rev. Becca Stevens bills herself as a seller of “snake oils,” a term usually associated with people selling fraudulent or unproven health potions and serums.
But Stevens, an Episcopal priest, wants to reclaim the term.
“It’s about taking back an old term that has a bad rap,” Stevens said from her home in Nashville, Tenn. “But we’re making oils and using them with a story to bring about healing.”
Stevens is the founder of Magdalene and Thistle Farms, Nashville programs that help women recover from violence, prostitution, addiction and life on the streets.
She will speak about the programs at 8 p.m. Tuesday at Christ Episcopal Church, where she will also sign and sell copies of her recent book “Snake Oil: The Art of Healing and Truth-Telling.”
