Leather, hardcover and Books of Shadows
Leather notebooks with embossed motif, metal lock and cream-coloured handmade paper form the premium end of the range – with a used look and an antique character that gives them serious presence as ritual objects in their own right. Motifs include pentagram, Tree of Life, Baphomet, dragons, Green Man and Spirit Board. The Large Book of Shadows holds around 200 pages, the Small around 170 sheets. For a more accessible entry point there are hardcover notebooks with embossed cover and ribbon bookmark in motifs such as Grimoire, Demon Skull, Wicca Book of Shadows, Tree of Life, Call of Cthulhu and Witch Cat.
Among the accessories sit wand-style ballpoint pens in cold-cast resin with genuine crystal tips in four executions – black obsidian, rose quartz, green aventurine and aura quartz – each supplied in a gift box. Alongside these come a book box in gothic design and a book-shaped trinket box in Ouija style crafted in MDF. Further gothic notebooks for the writing desk are available under Gothic Notebooks.
Frequently asked questions about magical books and notebooks
What's the difference between handmade paper and standard paper?
Handmade paper – or paper resembling handmade stock – has a rough, uneven surface and a lightly yellowed tone. It gives notebooks an antique, craft-led character that pairs naturally with gothic and Wicca aesthetics. The leather notebooks in this category are filled with handmade paper.
Do the leather notebooks have lined or blank pages?
The leather notebooks with handmade paper come with blank, unlined pages – suited to free writing, sketches, ritual notes or drawings. Page count varies by model between around 100 and 200 pages.
How do the leather notebooks differ from each other?
The leather notebooks differ in size, motif and page count. Compact models hold around 100 pages, large ones up to 200. Some come with a metal lock, others with just a wrap closure. The embossed cover motif – pentagram, Tree of Life, dragon, Baphomet or Spirit Board – is the most significant differentiator when choosing.
