The Prayer of St Ephraim the Syrian.
Ritualized prayer with the use of beads pre-dates Christianity. While it is most commonly associated with the catholic rosary, many cultures and religions use meditative beads. Buddhist prayer beads (mala) are used to count the number of times a mantra is recited, Muslim prayer beads (tasbih) are used to repeat praises to god. Similarly, worry beads (komboloi) are carried and used to pass time among Greek and Cypriot culture. While these are not used in a religious context, the beads are handled in a very specific manner, over and over again, leading to their ritualistic use. Wiccans and other pagans also use prayer beads, often associated with the seasons and goddess worship. • All prayer beads have a specific number of beads, are constructed in a specific way, and each are handled in a specific manner. Ultimately the goal of these beads is to aid in meditation, focus and concentration. It is a common human trait to want to compartmentalize and organize one’s thoughts and prayers in this manner. While it works for some, it may not work for others; that is the beauty of individuality. • I prefer using beads myself. I am a visual person; I like making lists and organizing my thoughts accordingly. To have something tangible that I can envision each prayer and spell with helps me tremendously. • I have created these particular beads to aid in my intuitive practice. Your intuition is innate and always present, it’s just a matter of whether or not we excersice it. Our intuition is like a muscle, the more we use it, the stronger it becomes. • Intuition prayer beads Amethyst • Hematite • Sodalite • Bloodstone • Labradorite Now available on my etsy shop 👁 • • • #thebalkanwitch #thebalkanwitchshop #prayerbeads #paganprayerbeads #witchesladder #knotmagick #knotmagic #magick #etsy #evileye #magickmarch #mala #malabeads #prayerrope #rosary #begleri #tespih #tasbih #worrybeads #komboloi #intuition #witchblr #neopagan #witchesofinstagram #pagansofinstagram #amethyst #hematite #sodalite #bloodstone #labradorite https://www.instagram.com/p/BuzXS-uHcre/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dzpll1htg9mx
Christ is Risen! We had a wonderful Pascha picnic at my parish. Lots of laughs, cigars, and my parents even came! #pascha #easter #orthodox #prayerrope #cigar #easternorthodox https://www.instagram.com/p/COa6hYQJECe/?igshid=84z4he82wnrg
Not bad for my first go around. They weren’t kidding when they told me the komboskini was hard to learn. I think there is something to be said for all those Monks who do this every day. Also there is something calming about the knot. Just saying this is the first time besides during laundry that I have felt spiritually content outside of church. 🥰 #Κομποσκοίνι #prayerrope #orthodoxchristian #orthodox #contentment (at Ogden, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAEhrA5AJy-/?igshid=h1fr8lk6zz9g
