Selkie Tapestry A5 Notebook

Selkie Tapestry A5 Notebook

Selkie. Selkies or Selkie folk meaning "Seal Folk" are mythological beings capable of therianthropy, changing from seal to human form by shedding their skin. This piece is highly inspired by the movie ''Song of the Sea''. Many of the folk-tales on selkie folk have been collected from the Northern Isles (Orkney and Shetland). The folk-tales frequently revolve around female selkies being coerced into relationships with humans by someone stealing and hiding their sealskin. A typical folk-tale is that of a man who steals a female selkie's skin, finds her on the sea shore, and compels her to become his wife. But the wife will spend her time in captivity longing for the sea, her true home, and will often be seen gazing longingly at the ocean. She may bear several children by her human husband, but once she discovers her skin, she will immediately return to the sea and abandon the children she loved. Sometimes, one of her children discovers or knows the whereabouts of the skin. Although in some children's story versions, the selkie revisits her family on land once a year, in the typical folktale she is never seen again by them. Sometimes the human will not know that their lover is a selkie, and wakes to find them returned to their seal form. In one version, the selkie wife was never seen again (at least in human form) by the family, but the children would witness a large seal approach them and "greet" them plaintively. This piece was inspired by a poem titled Selkie by the amazingly talented Elizabeth Knight ( Instagram: @elizabethknight_ ) "She calls out over her shoulder as she returns to the sea, "I will not spend my days a muse; I am not silver to be shaped, nor clay to be reduced. Sprout gills if you wish to hold me, or wander the shores and weep; no part of me was yours to bury and no part of me you'll keep."

Creator Review
This is such a fun notebook. When using it, if I find the need to ground myself or am searching for inspiration as to what to write, I can reference the root chakra or throat chakra (respectively) illustrations for sample exercises to access those energies. I plan to gift one of these notebooks to my favorite yoga teacher in gratitude for her beautiful spirit and practices. I love how durable the softcover journals are. There's no concern that the cover will break off from the binding. I also love that Zazzle allows for certain customizations, such as changing the color of the spiral or the paper inside the notebook. I'm a big fan of the sketch paper because it allows for writing and doodling but appreciate that I can get college or wide ruled paper instead, depending on the purpose for which I'm using the notebook.

The product quality in my opinion is fantastic! It seems to be made with durable, long lasting materials, put into an incredible design. I would recommend this to anyone, and we'll be purchasing a few more soon for the upcoming holiday to give out as gifts. Absolutely 100% satisfied with the incredible printing, and images on this! I uploaded the images myself for the back of this and I was expecting one of them to be blurry yeah, but when I received it it was above and beyond more beautiful than I could have ever expected. Thank you so very much for an amazing printing job!
