Ernest Journal is a lifestyle magazine for those with a sense of wonder, covering adventure, slow living and curious ideas.
What grabbed us about this issue...
Issue 3 ranges widely and the Fair Isle jumper piece is the place to start. We enjoyed how tracing a familiar object back to its cultural roots reveals more than you expect. The Victorian diableries feature is also worth seeking out. Stereoview photographs of devils and demons as popular entertainment is a more revealing window into the Victorian imagination than most history writing manages. Iceland’s Huldufólk gives the issue its most quietly unsettling moment. The hidden people of Icelandic folklore are treated with the seriousness they deserve.
Who’s Ernest Journal for?
Ernest Journal is one for when you want to feel genuinely curious about the world. Each issue gathers ideas from folklore, design, adventure and slow living without any single thread dominating. You can tell this is made by people who find the world endlessly interesting. This would suit you if you’re drawn to reading that sends you down unexpected paths. Think of it as a cabinet of curiosities in magazine form. It’s one to reach for when you want to learn something you didn’t know you wanted to know.
