Leather Journal Triple Moon - Two Moons, Turquoise Stone Diary

Leather Journal Triple Moon - Two Moons, Turquoise Stone Diary

Leather with Patina and Powerful Symbolism

The journal's cover is made from genuine cowhide leather in an interesting grey-green or grey-brown colour, whose patina lends it an authentic, aged look. In the centre of the front cover sits a striking turquoise-coloured stone, set within a circle of braided leather. Flanking this central element are two embossed crescent Moons, facing outwards. The entire composition strongly resembles the Triple Moon symbol – the waxing Moon (Maiden), the Full Moon (Mother – symbolised here by the stone), and the waning Moon (Crone). It's a potent symbol of divine feminine power, the cycles of life, magic, and intuition. The turquoise stone itself is often associated with protection, healing, and wisdom. The edges of the cover are adorned with an embossed ornamental border. (The original text also mentions a spiral triskelion, which might not be immediately obvious, but its symbolism of trinity – cycles, progress – fits well with the overall theme).

Unique Handmade Paper like an Ancient Grimoire

Inside, you'll find 200 pages (100 sheets) of utterly unique, handmade paper. Thanks to traditional production using pure cotton, the paper has a texture reminiscent of jute and canvas and the appearance of old parchment. The paper is acid-free, ensuring your entries last, and features naturally uneven, torn (deckle) edges. It's plain (unlined) and ideal for writing with a ballpoint pen or pencil, or for drawing with crayons or acrylic paints. Please be aware that ink or watercolours might bleed on this specific type of paper.

Authentic Hand Binding and Period Clasp

The inner paper block (composed of five booklets) is hand-stitched to the leather cover, ensuring durability. Decorative cross-stitching is visible on the spine. Although the pages cannot be easily replaced, if you wish, you can carefully unpick the old stitching and sew in new booklets. For secure closure, there's a robust metal clasp made of patinated brass in a hook style.

Practical Dimensions

Measuring approximately 17.8 cm high by 12.7 cm wide (roughly 7 x 5 inches) and about 3.5 cm thick, with a weight of around 393 grams, the journal feels pleasant in the hand and is easily portable.

This leather journal is ideal as your personal Book of Shadows, a diary for recording dreams, rituals, magical recipes, or simply as a beautiful place for your innermost thoughts. It's an artifact imbued with soul, rich in symbolism and craftsmanship. A lovely gift for anyone attuned to the magic of the Moon and nature.
