#Hellenic prayer beads

[a-creature-as-bright-as-the-sun]

I wrote up these prayers for some prayer beads! These are the twelve olympians + Hestia, and some gods that I personally wanted to honor as well. Feel free to pick 'n' choose and modify these how you want, but I thought that I'd would share thems as a community resource, regardless! ^-^

Prayers with the "hails" and gods' names in greek letters (and transliterated) under the cut!

I am SO incredibly pleased with the prayer beads that I made for Apollo, and he really likes them too ☀️

[pitayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I made some prayer beads for Lord Apollon

Someone tell me why Golden Sun Charms are SO HARD TO FIND AT CRAFT STORES AAAAAAAAA

I used Citrine beads and I think Carnelian.

I haven’t been really praying or anything, and I’ve been in a slump, but once I get more candles (LED), I can probably get back into it.

My Zeus prayer beads are now up on my shop! More in stock soon! I’m so proud of them, they look so pretty

I finally got some prayer beads!

I’m able to wear them around my wrist since they came with a little clasp which is cool

So I love the idea of prayer beads but whenever I want to use them I don't have the motivation to to GET them but I just had a genius idea

I'm gonna make prayer BRACELETS instead so I can just wear them as a devotional thing and if I wanna use them as prayer beads they're right there already, plus I like beaded bracelets anyways!

Now I just have to figure out how I wanna format them 🤔

today i made prayer beads out of salt dough and embroidery thread!

i still don’t know how exactly i’ll use them, for now they’re just a focus. I’ll definitely get around to writing some actual prayers to use it with tho!!

Okay this is kinda of a follow-up question for the poll, but if you make prayer beads in a/the rosary style with a pendant on the end, where do you get them? Wherever I look, they are...at least 20 bucks, and usually more. Do you just buy those expensive ones? Is that why pagan prayer beads are so expensive?

[allthesunlightwecansee]

I’m really pleased with how my prayer beads for Artemis turned out! I associate Artemis with blues, greens, and other moonlight/earth tones, so I focused on using blues for this set of beads. I’m so glad she liked them too! 🌙💙

My Hermes pocket prayer beads are restocked! Unfortunately I am completely out of carnelian until my bead supplier restocks, so this is all my stock for now. Thanks so much for the support!

Starting on a replacement set of Hermes prayer beads. I've got my tortoise charm, a hare charm, a Route 66 charm, a set of wings, a butterfly, and a dragonfly. I'm using dyed river shell, dyed jade, turquoise, and dyed howlite beads with copper separators.
