I have long received notebooks and journals as presents from both family and friends. I absolutely love notebooks with richly designed covers; there's something magical about their artistry that captures both my heart and imagination. This list brings together all of the notebooks I have fallen in love with: some I currently own, and others are on my wish-list to purchase very soon. I hope you enjoy browsing some of these stunning designs.

I've spent years exploring thought-provoking books on both philosophy and religion. During this time, I've particularly loved diving into eastern texts that allow a deep exploration of philosophical ideas: whether these are beautifully composed Hindu works such as Ramayana, or iconic Chinese classics such as the Tao Te Ching. Here in this list you will find a plethora of interesting and inspiring works that have truly changed the way I view life.

I have always loved searching for bookmarks with stunning, intricate designs. I read a lot, so I always find myself in need of a bookmark or two. Nowadays, the number of beautiful designs is huge, so unfortunately I am rarely able to buy all the bookmarks I set my heart on. Therefore, in this list I am collecting all the bookmarks I really like in the hopes I can purchase them in the not-too-distant future.

For many years now I have loved reading the early psychoanalysts: most particularly, Freud & Jung. On my journey exploring Jungian psychology, I've found (and read) some interesting, slightly lesser-known books. I have placed in this list plenty of niche Jungian works that even those who have explored Jung may not have read. Included are biographies, essays and esoteric works all surrounding the Jungian world.

During my time at university, I became very interested in the world of Arthurian literature (that is, the myths of King Arthur, Merlin, and his chivalric knights). I researched and read many of the main works; I found myself utterly charmed by the beauty, richness, humour, and symbolism found in these medieval stories. I have included in this list the essential reading; the books below will lead you into the charming and magical world of Arthurian myth. PLEASE NOTE: some of these works will only be of interest to scholars, others to the general reader.

For a long time I have adored reading stories from both mythology and folklore: whether its famous Greek heroes like Heracles or Theseus, or intriguing folkloric beings like fairies, giants, werewolves, and wizards, I have always found myself completely entranced by the magic, symbolism, and high imaginal beauty of these tales. Here in this list you will find many of my mythology and folklore recommendations.
