Seven Chakra Stone Embossed Diary | Blue, 10 x 7 in

Blue leather at 10 by 7 inches, with seven stones set down the cover in the chakra order, root to crown. It is a large journal but not an unwieldy one, and the stones give it something to do on a shelf when it is closed.

The seven-chakra scheme as it is used in the West comes largely from the twentieth century, built on older tantric material by way of Theosophy and Sir John Woodroffe. The rainbow color order is later still, out of mid-century Western color healing rather than out of India. Knowing that takes nothing away from a cover that reads clearly across a room.

What You Are Getting

10 by 7 inches. Leather in blue with a rustic finish, seven stones set into the cover, and unlined pages throughout. Handmade, so the texture and the exact stone colors vary piece to piece.

Good to Know

Leather is a hide, so every cover takes the grain and the dye differently and no two are the same. Marks and creases are not faults in a journal like this; they are the reason it looks the way it does in a year. A brass clasp stiffens for the first few weeks and then settles.

Use It For

Manifestation and affirmation work, yoga or reiki notes, or plain daily reflection. Unlined pages suit anyone who mixes writing with drawing, tables or diagrams, which most practice journals end up doing.

Pair It With

Something to write with: the Quill Pen and Stand in Sparkling Gray or Lavender Gold. To close a page or a letter, Wicca Sealing Wax. The Hocus Pocus Book of Spells is the 13 inch version if you want more room. More in journals.
