Following Paul Holman’s strange and elusive Sussex Coils & Loops into folklore, ritual, hidden presences and the personal meanings that gather around particular places.

One of the book's most compelling themes is that meaning cannot simply be adopted from someone else's life. Advice, traditions, and beliefs may all be valuable, but eventually each of us must discover what genuinely carries significance within our own experience.

A personal reflection on how astrology and depth psychology meet within the shared language of symbolism, offering new ways to understand psyche, relationship, and meaning.

At these points, it is not always a lack of options that troubles us, but a deeper uncertainty about which path, if any, truly belongs to us. Traveller there is no path. The path is made by walking. These lines from a poem by Antonio Machado are often encountered at moments when we

The First Encounter I discovered the work of Carl Jung during my mid-to-late teens, when I plucked this text from a shelf in a local bookshop. Having no idea at the time who this man was, or about psychoanalysis, I imagine I was attracted by the title.

Cecil Collins is an artist I have a great appreciation for. This book documents the thoughts and reflections of many of those who knew him, whether as a collector, curator, student of his unique teaching methods, or through other connections.
