The Elemental Rosarium

Chanelling and embodying the powers of the four Cardinal Elements, the Elemental Rosarium is a collection of ensouled devotional beads that represent a conclave of reified occult knowledge and an assembly of incarnated natural forces.

Each of the four rosaries offered herein is uniquely constructed with highly potent materials, utilizing meaningful and powerful cultic symbolism based on a mixture of traditional folklore and personal inspiration. Every set of beads serves as a Venerative Idol dedicated to one of the four cardinal elements, and every piece was, likewise, empowered by the very Genius of its given element under highly specialized ritual specifications.

All products measure approximately 19.5 inches / 49.5 centimeters long, and they include:

The Rosary of Holy Flame:

This set of hand-cafted devotional beads was constructed under the auspices of Noontide, wherein the rosary was passed through the holy flames of Candle, Hearth, and Balefire. It was made with materials that are individually and synergistically linked to the spirit of flame, including Lava Stone beads, Red Obsidian counter beads, and Carnelian bracket beads. The endpiece pendants are a stainless steel rendering of the Alchemical Symbol for Fire and a Flint stone—oldest among the human tools of ignition.

Whether drawing down the Fires of Heaven, calling up the Fires of Earth, or stoking the very Cunning Fire, these beads will serve as a faithful implement in the hands of one who venerates the flames.

The Rosary of Sacred Winds:

This set of hand-cafted devotional beads was constructed under the auspices of Windswept Peak, wherein the rosary was suffused with the sacred winds of Breath, Bellows, and Breeze. It was made with materials that are individually and synergistically linked to the spirit of air, including Czech Glasswork beads filled with air bubbles, scavenged Raven Bone counter beads, and Howlite bracket beads. The endpiece pendants are a stainless steel rendering of the Alchemical Symbol for Air and a Dandelion Seed—humble traveler of the wind—which was encapsulated in resin, before I outfitted it with silver wire.

Whether observing augury, calling up the wind, or working with divinities of the weather and sky, these beads will serve as a faithful implement in the hands of one who venerates the air.

The Rosary of Blessed Waters:

This set of handcrafted devotional beads was constructed under the auspices of Rain, wherein the rosary was lustrated with the blessed waters of Spring, River, and Sea. It was made with materials that are individually and synergistically linked to the spirit of water, including fluvial Shell Pearl beads, Salmon Bone counter beads, and Aquatine Calcite bracket beads. The endpiece pendants are a stainless steel rendering of the Alchemical Symbol for Water, and a Seahshell—naturally punctured over untold years by force of the ocean current. These particular components represent a multiplicity of water sources invoked, with the shell pearl coming from rivers, the seashell coming from the ocean, and the Salmon being a fish that traverses between those two realms.

Whether calling on the virtues of hallowed water, entreating the spirits ot local waterways, or working with oceanic divinities, these beads will serve as a faithful implement in the hands of one who venerates the waters.

The Rosary of Hallowed Earth:

This set of hand-cafted devotional beads was constructed under the auspices of Cave Covering, wherein the rosary was dusted with hallowed earth gathered from Mountain, Burrow, and Crossroads. It was made with materials that are individually and synergistically linked to the spirit of earth, including Granite beads, Lodestone counter beads, and Marble bracket beads. The endpiece pendants are a stainless steel rendering of the Alchemical Symbol for Earth and a simple Clay Talisman—shaped from the living earth and worked by hands that will one day return to that very same ground.

Whether calling on the virtues of stones, communing with telluric spirits, or working with earthen mediums like soil and ceramics, these beads will serve as a faithful implement in the hands of one who venerates the terrain.

Symbolism Of The Elements @monthly-challenge | Day Thirteen: “Earth”

[hathorneheiress]

The Hawthornes as elements.

I was going to try and do the 4 natural elements but decided to expand slightly. ( I know, it's stupid)

Nash: Earth. Is it any surprise that the oldest, and most easy-going Hawthorne brother goes best with earth? People with this personality tend to be grounded, dependable, and practical. They strive for peace and harmony. On a negative note, they can give too much to others and maybe craves sweets more then they should. Nash, even though he wasn't always around, he was there for his brothers. He has more knowledge of the reality of how the world works. (Especially with the glass ballerina when he understood what the old man was saying) In TIG we can see him trying to keep the peace with brothers, especially between Jameson and Grayson. His savor complex is sometimes a blessing, but it can also be a curse. It's not cannon, but I think we can all agree Nash has a weakness for sweets.

Grayson: Ice. (I was going to go with water, but doing more research ice fits him better) This element is known for being cold, unfeeling, and logical. What better element then for cold, uninviting, Grayson Hawthorne himself? As solid as it seems, ice can crack at some point. Which we know Grayson, as strong as he may appear, has a breaking point. (As seen in the beginning of TFG and sometimes during TBH) Ice personalities are also very creative. Though not really cannon, Grayson most likely is the most artsy, if you will, out of all the brothers. His love of photography and classy style seems to hint at that. And I whole heartily believe Grayson is an exceptional painter as well. On the negative side it should come to no surprise that having very little to no emotions and being secretive and uninviting also fits Grayson as well. Honestly, if I mentioned Grayson's name most people would imagine an unsmiling, cold looking young man who hardly shows emotions with blond hair and icy blue eyes. Or is that just me? (P.S. Grayson is sooo Elsa coded. You can't convince me otherwise)

Jameson: Air. Witty, intelligent, thoughtful, caring, free spirited. Though inconsistent and selfish. Sounds right up Jameson's alley, if you know what I mean. He's witty and good natured. And just like air, he is very energetic and loves to be always moving. I mean, when is the air not moving? Just like Jameson: always in motion. When we first meet Jameson he was all about riddles and games. Trying to hide his grief. But throughout the series we see a more caring and thoughtful side to him. His love for his brothers and Avery. Though hard to see Jameson was thoughtful. (Trying to distract Grayson from meeting his father. Giving Avery a break by going on the rooftop.) Jameson isn't afraid to talk to new people and is very independent. As with air personalities, Jameson has a hard time committing to things and doesn't like to settle down. Always looking for something new, which can have negative outlooks. His recklessness could be considered selfish since he's only thinking of himself and not how others feel.

Xander: Electricity/lightning. Known for being kind, caring, and filled with energy it should come to no shock (See what I did there) that this element fits Xander Hawthorne the best. Electricity is not only energetic, but also unpredictable. Just like Xander. In TIG we found out that he was the mastermind. Carrying out the old man's plan. He is also extremely energetic. Xander is not one to sit idle, he always needs to be keeping himself busy. I think Xander is also a hard worker. On the downside his mischievousness sometimes gets the better of him and his impulsiveness. (Like blowing something up to only loose an eyebrow) This personality also loves music, which I think Xander loves as well. Though his style tends toward classical pop and rock.

Well, that's it. I hope you liked it. I do plan to do Avery and maybe Libby but I really wanted to post it tonight for you all.

(Sorry, it isn't that great)

[whumpster-dumpster]

Whumper 'accidentally' locks whumpee out in the cold, in clothes not meant for winter. Good news, they allow whumpee back in after some time. Bad news, instead of letting whumpee warm themselves or rest, they force whumpee to do chores as 'thanks for letting them back in'

Yeah, Whumpee, get those chores done! Staying busy will keep your blood moving for sure!
