As the seasons change, our Autumn Equinox Reading Matrix is here.
Which one calls to you this season?
The Founding Myths of Architecture - Artifice Press
Like an ancient rune, this book grounds you in the roots of design. It asks: what old stories are you still building on, and which myths must you leave behind?
The Story of Parliament - St James's House
A weighty tome of governance and voice. It reminds you that structures of power are as much about ritual as law. For the equinox, it whispers: where do you lend your voice?
The Commonwealth at 75 - St James's House
This book shows history as a patchwork quilt of nations. As the seasons turn, it invites you to reflect: how does your own identity fit into a larger tapestry?
Transformative Avant-Garde and Other Writings - Black Dog Press
Rebellion in red covers. This is the card of disruption: challenging old patterns and seeking new visions. At equinox, it asks you: what would you dare to unmake, in order to transform?
Punk Orientalism: The Art of Rebellion - Black Dog Press
The wild card of the spread. Subversive, questioning, never polite. It brings energy and upheaval, reminding you that balance doesn’t always mean calm. Sometimes balance is found in the clash.
See Yourself Sensing: Redefining Human Perception - Black Dog Press
A mirror turned back on you. This book lives in the liminal space between body and technology. On the cusp of autumn, it asks: what are you really perceiving, and what lies beyond your senses?
Thinking is Making: Objects in Space - Black Dog Press
Hands to clay, mind to form. This is the maker’s card, reminding you that knowledge is born in the doing. For the equinox: what will you shape, now that the light begins to wane?
Cocoon House - Artifice Press
The hermit’s shelter. A space of warmth, transformation, retreat. Like the cocoon itself, it signals growth through stillness. This autumn: where will you rest, so you can emerge renewed?
Food for Thought Truck - Artifice Press
The feast card — playful, nourishing, communal. It reminds you that ideas, like meals, are best when shared. At the turning of the season, who will you gather around your table?
