Description

Goddess of Falling Stars & Nighttime Divinations - Asteria - Pagan Prayer Beads - Altar Beads - Handmade
Condition is New.
This set of pagan prayer/altar beads is dedicated to Asteria, "g
oddess of falling stars and perhaps of nighttime divinations such as dreamwork and astrology. She was the mother of Hekate, goddess of witchcraft, by the Titan Perses.
After the fall of the Titans, Zeus chased Asteria across the sky but she escaped him by transforming herself into a quail and leaping into the sea to became the island of Delos. Her sister Leto later gave birth to Apollon on the isle. She is probably the same as Brizo, an obscure Delian goddess who delivered prophetic dreams." (Quote/information obtained at theoi.com)
Hand-strung on black waxed linen cord, the beads in this set include Hematite for grounding, dissolving negativity, and enhancing confidence; Lapis Lazuli for revealing inner truths, clarity and objectivity; and Hawk’s Eye/Blue Tiger’s Eye for illuminating issues that have been difficult to look at, protection, and reducing anxiety.
Charms are made from silver alloy metals, and include a charm depicting various planets backed by a charm representing the Sun; a large crescent Moon charm; two Star charms of different sizes; a charm representing the Feminine; and little round silver spacer beads, representing the Moon.
At 14” long, this set of prayer beads is slightly shorter than my typical bead lengths (of 15”-17”).
Included with the beads is a silver organza bag for safekeeping.
With a few exceptions, supplies are purchased from U.S. suppliers, and I’m always looking for ethically sourced and environmentally conscious product.
In 2018, I felt the call to begin creating pagan prayer beads for altar practice, grounding and centering, meditation work, assistance with spirit work, working with deity, or similar spiritual practices. I have been inspired by quite a few prayer bead creators, but my work is completely my own, with bead combinations and spell jar contents chosen intuitively. I tend not to make prayer beads for specific deities (with a few exceptions, on occasion, or when requested by a customer), but usually prefer to keep them general, such as Goddess of the Sea, Dark Forest Witch, etc., or with particular animals in mind (owl, wolf, etc.), or to create beads associated with characteristics of Tarot Card archetypes (The Sun, The Star, The Hermit, The Queen of Pentacles, etc.). However, this may change over time. Of course, you can use any of my beads to work with a specific deity as you feel called.
