“The sun’s light is a prayer, and a reminder of the divine that is always with us.”
- William Blake
Born of a quiet morning walk and an unexpected, radiant sign from the universe, the Golden Ray Storyteller is a journal of light, presence, and trust.
Bound in thick and glove-like olive natural leather and filled with luminous handmade papers touched with gold, this Storyteller is an invitation to step into the light - to remember that you are never alone and loved beyond measure. Just like the sun’s rays that kiss the treetops and warm the earth, this journal offers a place to receive, reflect, and carry your light forward.
Whether you're using it for prayers, poems, dreams, or daily moments of gratitude, the Golden Ray is here to illumine your journey - one page at a time.
Let this be your space of blessing, brilliance, and becoming.

Handmade and Decorative Paper
The Golden Ray Storyteller features a beautiful array of handmade Indian cotton rag paper touched with golden tones. Complementing this are various handmade lokta papers in olive, chartreuse, antique gold, khaki and ivory.
Beautiful handmade lokta paper from Nepal is one of the primary papers used in Hypatia Storytellers. Lokta is produced using bark from the daphne shrub, a cousin to the laurel and the rhododendron. Lokta is very eco-friendly, as the plant regenerates quickly and is one of the few under-utilized plant resources in the world.
Each lokta sheet is made by hand and celebrates its “wabi sabi” beauty. Delightful to write, paint, and glue on, it is incredibly strong and flexible. All of the handmade pages of the Hypatia Storytellers can also be used, in addition to the archival plain page soft white paper in between each decorative sheet!
Natural Raw Leather
Golden Ray Storyteller is bound into thick, glove-like natural olive leather.
Natural leather develops a rich patina over time and may darken, soften, and develop color variations.
Each scratch, scuff, and crease tells a story, adding depth and personality to the leather’s surface.
When desired or needed, “Leather CPR” (easily purchased through Amazon) can be massaged into the leather to restore its moisture and erase scratches.
Customer Review
Barbara K. fell in love with the Golden Ray Storyteller and used it for her Zentangle study and morning affirmations! In case you’ve never heard of it, Zentangle is a meditative art form created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, a mindful practice that encourages the creative state of flow, focus and reflection.
“Hi Cynthia – I started working on the beautiful Golden Ray Storyteller I bought from you last week. I really love it! This is a Zentangle drawing that I made. I started studying Zentangle this summer, and the Hypatia book I bought has all these beautiful golden pages that I can draw on alongside my morning affirmations. Thank you for creating such a beautiful book.” – Barbara K
