Demeter Pocket Prayer Beads in Unakite: Greek Goddess of Grain, the Harvest, the Seasons, and the Afterlife

Description

This set of Demeter pocket prayer beads in unakite consists of twelve beads, representing the Greek dodecatheon of twelve gods; there are many more than twelve Greek gods, but most cities had their own group of twelve. Joining the string is a pendant, a symbol representing the goddess: the four seasons, which are under Demeter's power. It is made with 10mm unakite gemstone beads, separated by silver-toned metal spacer beads, and glass seed beads to provide a comfortable transition from one bead to the next and to make the piece supple and easy to handle. The string itself is approximately 11" (28cm) in circumference and is designed to be used in prayer and meditation, to decorate an altar or shrine, and/or to adorn a statue. The small size makes it easy to keep on hand in a drawer, a purse, or a pocket. The beads come with a prayer to Demeter, written specifically to be used with this prayer bead design, and with a cotton muslin bag for storage. You can, of course, use the beads with any prayers, or for any god or gods, that you choose or that resonate with you.
