In my practice, I keep prayer beads. It might be something I picked up in Sunday school, but I love rosaries and how they look and the importance placed upon them. I keep one set of mala beads that I’ve dedicated to processing and working through my anger and I wear it almost daily as a physical reminder to keep my temper in check.
A couple weeks ago, I purchased a set of prayer beads dedicated to Hades from an Etsy shop called Nearmagic, and they arrived today! I did my usual annointing/dedication ritual, this time with the added bonus of being able to call on my chosen God and offer them my praise and thanks. It was a really nice experience. When I first unboxed the beads, I’d thought they felt void of energy and hollow, like little heavy balls meant just for decoration.
After the ritual though, they feel full of energy and purpose, and I’d like to think that Hades stepped in to add some value to them. Looking at them now, I feel more connected and grounded in their presence. I can’t wait for the next full moon so I can set them out to charge and complete the process.
These are my new prayer beads, freshly anointed in lavender oil – an inside thing Hades and I share – and passed through the heat of His candles.
