The Power of Intercessory Prayer: A Simple Way to Lift Others to God

Prayer is a powerful tool—one we often overlook in the busyness of our lives. For a young mother with two kids, struggling to keep the house in order, maintain friendships, and still find a way to pray, the challenges are real. Yet the Bible shows us that even in our busiest, most stressful moments, intercessory prayer can be transformative. It takes us out of our own worries and helps us focus…

The Power of Intercessory Prayer: A Simple Way to Lift Others to God

[that-one-grey-witch]

I started working with prayer beads for the first time yesterday

So i figured id make a post with my experience so far, because i struggled to find a source on ways to use them rather than just the usual 'find something and pray about it a lot.' But in this vein it is very eclectic and based on my own beliefs rather than a specific path.

I have found that i use them kind of like reminders.

I string the beads myself, picking out specific beads to represent specific aspects im looking for. I start out with an intent, thought, or feeling im trying to evoke (ie i used my clear beads to both invoke clarity of the mind and listen to myself when im trying to make a decision i dont feel is clear). From there i use color associations: these are my personal ones:

Red- passion, fire, warmth, inspiration, flame, pride, humanity

Orange-sunlight, warning, molten lava, destruction

Yellow- Hope, happiness, sweetness, striving for better, knowledge

Green- nature, growth, peace, stillness, expansiveness, life cycles

Blue-cool, calm, peaceful, tranquility, beauty, fierce protectiveness, isolation, the individual

Purple- calm, gentle, guidance, deception, royalty, magic, willpower

Pink- soft, warmth, gentleness, strength, ferocity, togetherness

If youre able to, making the beads out of clay can add another personal touch, allowing you to make them with symbols, sigils, or other carvings. Making them out of wood, crystals, or other similar materials can carry over the original materials properties into your work as well.

Most importantly, they are for you so your associations and making them sacred to y o u is the goal. Not anyone else or their associations.

Stringing the beads with color associations, material associations, and numerical associations can make very very powerful magic. I tend to view it similar to a witches ladder, or working with the energy or spirits of the crystals in a more day to day life that i dont personally get with sticking the crystals in my pocket (i tend to forget they're there and dont thank them or they go through the wash.) This to me is a way of keeping both my magic and my entities close to me still and allowing myself to remember my spellwork rather than just setting and forgetting like five minutes later.

You could also view it as a portable altar if youre using them to pray or otherwise wanna use them as an offering (if you deem everything inside them a sacred space you could use it as a cast circle or a portable place to do formal offerings if you get out in the woods a lot). If you will be way from your own altar and you want to bring something rather inconspicuous with you, you could use them for that too. :)

The book A String & A Prayer by Elenor Wiley and Maggie Oman Shannon has some good general information HOWEVER they do appropriate from closed cultures so keep that in mind if you attempt to read it.

Best of luck and let me know if you use them and how it goes 👀

One of the two rosary style prayer beads I ordered arrived today, with this one made by Skal of Casa de Cadejo. As you can probably tell, it’s themed around Eve and the Garden of Eden. The beads are carved wooden apples, fig wood, rose scented beads, and antiqued snake vertebrae... the last being a material it has in common with the other rosary. The medal can be unclipped and moved around as a counter. The inclusion of nine beads for the now misnamed Decade (Novennial?) sets, rather than ten, is intentional.

A few other elements went into this project and its creation that I won’t be going into depth about here, but I can say that I’m incredibly pleased with the result and relieved to have it here with me after some postal service shenanigans.

I’ve always adored rosaries and prayer beads, so I’m very glad to have ones I can dedicate to a specific spirit or purpose. I suspect this may be the start of a collection...

I ordered prayer beads for Thor from The keybearers gate on Etsy. This sticker came from an unrelated order from Ada Marie jewelry on the same day.
