Leather Journal - Tree of Life Yggdrasil, 18x14 cm

Symbolism of Life and Connection

The design of this journal is filled with powerful symbols that resonate with nature-based spirituality and ancient myths.

The Tree of Life (Yggdrasil)

The dominant motif on the front cover represents the ash tree Yggdrasil from Norse mythology, which grows through and connects all nine worlds. Its roots symbolise the past and wisdom, its trunk the present and strength, and its branches the future and growth. It is an archetypal symbol of interconnection, life, strength, and the eternal cycle.

Celtic Knots and Triquetra

The tree is framed by ornamental borders. Woven into both the upper arch and the lower band is the Triquetra symbol. This ancient Celtic knot, with no beginning and no end, represents trinity (e.g., earth-sea-sky; life-death-rebirth; body-mind-soul) and eternity.

Decorated Back and Spine

The quality craftsmanship is also evident in the details. The back cover is blind-embossed with a repeating geometric pattern. The spine features a visible and decorative cross-stitch binding in red thread, which securely holds the paper signatures together.

Paper for Your Thoughts

The journal contains 120 sheets (240 pages) of high-quality, unbleached, and lightly textured paper. It has been handmade, and its quality ensures it is suitable for a variety of media. You can confidently write on it with a fountain pen or ink, as well as draw with pencil or charcoal, with no risk of bleed-through. It is the perfect place for your notes, sketches, poems, or perhaps a herbarium.
