Simo Arshara
Art Books
I write very different books, and so I use different names — so each universe has its own space.
On one side there are stories, born from the pleasure of telling and imagining worlds.
On the other, notebooks and books made for those who like to explore themselves through writing,
symbols and a connection with nature.
As with everything I do, I never "decided to become an author".
It's just that when something takes hold of me, it inevitably becomes a project — and often a book too.
I can't help it.

Notebooks and journals for inner exploration
Books-as-tools born from the idea that writing can be a simple way to listen to yourself. Not to produce something, but to stop, observe and gather what you feel.
Totem Animal Notebooks
Let ancient wisdom guide your inner journey.
The Totem Animal Notebook collection is born from the encounter between Native American shamanic tradition and the contemporary practice of mindful journaling. Each notebook is dedicated to a spirit animal and its spiritual medicines, offering you a sacred space to explore insights, emotions, and transformations.
How does it work?
Each notebook opens with an introduction to the symbolic meaning of the totem animal: its qualities, its teachings and the message it brings to your life. This is followed by 160 lined pages for your free writing, and a final section offering practical ways to connect with your totem through meditation, dreams and observation of nature.
Who are they for?
For those seeking an ally on their path of personal growth. For those who practise meditation, shamanism or simply want a space for reflection guided by natural archetypes. For anyone who feels the call of a particular animal and wants to explore what it has to teach.
The collection includes:
Wolf · Bear · Eagle · Butterfly · Bison · Deer · Turtle · Snake · Owl · Puma · Raven · Fox
...and many more to come.
Each notebook measures 6x9 inches (15.24 x 22.86 cm), perfect for taking with you wherever you go.
You don't choose your totem. You recognise it when it appears.

Books of contemplation, symbol and meditative practice
This line was born from the meeting between my passion for symbols and the desire to create something you could simply hold in your hands and look at. Books made for slowing down, not for learning.
THIS IS NOT JUST A COLORING BOOK

OTHER WORKS
In 2013, together with Arkaura Margherita Lacqua, I wrote Verso Uno, a coming-of-age novel about inner searching, published by Verdechiaro Edizioni.
The book tells a symbolic journey of self-discovery — a narrative that weaves together experience, imagination and personal growth.
The book is available in the main online stores. For signed copies you can contact me directly.
