Do you own a rosary or set of prayer beads?
Did you buy it, or make it yourself?
Is there a set prayer for it? Did you write a prayer, or do you say something different each time?
Did you create it for a particular deity/ies? or is it more of a meditative aid?
Discuss! ^_^

I love prayer beads, but don't currently have any that I actually use. I have made some to sell, but then couldn't get the vendor's license to work out (still waiting on a response after 3 months -.-) so they're just sitting around.
I really want a set for myself, but I haven't decided what to use it for yet and don't want to charge ahead with it until I make up my mind. The one's I've already made now strike me as relying too much on the traditional Catholic and Anglican formats, and I want to do something distinctive for my own that speaks more to my own spirituality. I just haven't come up with anything yet. :-/

You couldn't sell them on ebay or etsy? Quote: I really want a set for myself, but I haven't decided what to use it for yet and don't want to charge ahead with it until I make up my mind.

Sanguina Cruenta zatarrah I love prayer beads, but don't currently have any that I actually use.

You couldn't sell them on ebay or etsy? Selling them on Etsy is the plan, actually! But even doing that requires a delivery vendor's license in this area (it varies by state and that might not be the case everywhere), and that's where I'm stuck. I've been told the process is a lot easier in person and in other states, so I'll try again after I graduate and get back to my home state.

I have two sets of prayer beads - well one now actually. My original set met with an unfortunate accident and the string broke. I'm intending to fix it. I made both sets myself. I'm not big on using things others made for spiritual perposes - especially when it comes to prayer. It just feels more right to pray to my gods with the beads I've strung myself. It's more....personal I guess.
My first set (the currently broken one) has a specific set of prayers that I say every day. I wrote the prayers myself as well.
The second set is more flexible and I use those when I sort of pray randomly, or for a specific perpose outside my general prayers. I use the second set alot.
And I have a tendency to wear my prayer beads because I'm in college and I like to say my prayers while I'm walking to class, and such. It's calming. Not to mention the beads are really pretty.
Neither set's really directed at a particular diety, but more at all my gods as a whole. Although the set I use for my regular prayers is more directed to the goddesses I worship. I have this tendency to address my goddesses as a single divine mother unit. smile

There's a certain set of self-written prayers that I say while using them. The beads are color coded according to the prayers so there's a different one I say for each color-set. I could pm you the exact prayers if you want.

Most of the ones I've seen have only one or two colors. whee Do you have a picture of them, by any chance? ^-^ And yeah, I'd love to read the prayers! I've always found prayers really pretty, even when I'm not as familiar with the religion they come from. <3
