The Necromancer’s Prayer Cord
This prayer cord was crafted specifically with the necromancer in mind, over a week of meditations to the death divine and in devotionals. While Fra. Solaris Liari works specifically with the death demonic himself, he believes that this cord could aid in connecting with any of the death divine and the cthonic currents in a magician's work.
MOSS AGATE was chosen for the main prayer stones, numbering 9 as in demonolatry tradition, for its deep connection with the earth, with the transformation of new beginnings, and the deep calm seated within the stone. It is soothing in times of grief, stabilizing in times of great change, and embodies many of the death divine in those regards.
LABRADORITE is featured as both the smaller stone accompaniment, the carved skull at the end of the cord, and the end bead at the top of the cord just before the finger loop. Labradorite is associated with the Magician, the practitioner at work, manifestation through will. Part amplifier, part focus, all strength. The skull in labradorite, specifically, calls as a reminder to our work with Death, the reverence and inner-strength needed to walk this path with the cthonic divine and the dearly departed both.
OX BONE beads, carved similarly to the skull (not skulls themselves) dot between the labradorite and the moss agate, a firm connection to death, decay, and gentle repose. The use of bone in this cord was essential to Fra. Solaris, for cementing its place as a necromancer's tool rather than just a general prayer cord.
Each bead is hand knotted to a waxed brown hemp cord, with each end braided to keep the skull and loop secure.
The cord comes in a black velvet bag for safe keeping, and will be anointed with a necromantic oleum crafted by Fra. Solaris Liari.
