It is very interest when you find the
history of these beads to predate Christianity. But then in reality
all things do. But in the modern day when one thinks of prayer beads
you may think of Buddhist or Hindu Prayer Beads. Or perhaps more of
the christian version the rosary. All of these beads consist of a
preset number of beads. All in one color or sets of colors
(rosaries). Pagan Prayer Beads with take you through the history and
give you examples of what a pagan prayer bead can consist of.
Pagan Prayer Beads takes you through
the designing, creating and finishing of your beads. There are
discussions of the correct materials to use. All the different
potential beads that you can create. Plus how to finish them to be
wearable beads or to have them as a continues round of beads.
After all the technical information of
creating your beads. There are chapters that they give you patterns
to get you started on creating your own. Later in the chapters there
are rituals, meditations and prayer given to get you started on using
your beads. They even give a suggested ritual on concentrating of
your beads.
Pagan Prayer Beads is a book for anyone
who loves working with there hands. An wish to take there faith to a
new level. With all the possibilities and uses for prayer beads you
can have one around your neck as jewelry, one around your wrist, one
in your purse or pocket. All for different reasons and purposes. So
if you lit to work with beads I suggest you get you self a copy. It
will give you much to ponder and create even if you don't work with
beads this book will get you started.
