"Septima"- most commonly means ''seventh'', derived from Latin.
It can refer to the seventh child, the seventh month of birth, seventh chord in music etc.
A vintage book turned junk journal.
I spotted this one at a local second hand bookstore near me and for some reason was attracted to the bland vintage colours. Not usually my thing.
I had in mind to use this one as my prototype in figuring out and learning how to turn a hard cover book into a journal but it seemed to go on the back burner as I made 5 more before this one.
I had seen this idea many times on YouTube but I didn't have any spare hard cover books on hand - until I started noticing them in op shops and the old book store/exchange near me. Now they jump out at me all the time.
It wasn't until I had completed this project that it dawned on me what ''Septima'' might actually refer to. Sure, it was the girls name in this book but 'septima/septimus' actually has other meanings/etymology.
Once I looked up ''septima'' I realised it must be a cosmic connection that this book put itself in my pathway to be purchased.
You see...
I'm born in the 7th month.
My mother is the 7th child of 11 children (yes that is correct).
My date of birth includes 3x sevens aka 777.
7 is also divine number (they all are) but 7 is THE divine number - for me anyway.
😇
And for those that know me - I'm what you would call an autodidact - a self learner. One that constantly seeks truth, wisdom, knowledge and information to better the self. Aka a school girl/student of life and all it's wisdom.
A fun fact of me - when I'm making junk journals in my multiverse room at home - you'll find me listening to all sorts of interesting podcasts, YouTube video's on cosmology, spirituality, mysticism, consciousness, wisdom, health, healing and more. I have a whole page dedicated to the interests and sources of my knowledge seeking over on my other website.
So it appears that maybe this book isn't just a book - it's a clue, a piece of the puzzle on the path of my divine soul journey.
