Tomorrow night I will be engaging in on of the most well documented of pagan traditions…

Converting to Catholicism

As such, I have made myself a single decade paracord penal rosary

Incorporated into it are the following…

1. The Icelandic Wolf Cross, also known as the Vargkors or the Fossi Cross (where is was discovered in 1910) that serves as a reminder of my roots, my path going forward, and as a version of Saint Peter’s cross, which is fitting as I’ve chosen him as my patron saint.

2. A wolf’s head in place of the Our Father bead. For out of all of gods creations, I love wolves the most. For though they are often misunderstood, viewed as evil, and dangers to the livestock tended by Shepards. They set an example of leading their families, caring for their young, and keeping balance in the environment where they reside (Ex. Yellowstone)

3. The Triskele. An ancient symbol, and one often associated with Pagan practice and history. But ultimately it is a symbol that represents trinity’s. Life-Death-Rebirth, Mind-Body-Spirit, Earth-Sea-Sky, Maiden-Mother-Crone. So why would it not also represent The Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

I am happy with the symbolism behind my choices. And I am looking forward to Baptism and Confirmation tomorrow night. There is a long history held by the Catholic Church. Both good and not so good. But they keep excellent records, and I am looking forward to learning more of their history and practices.
