The Morrigan/Kali Ma Botanical Rosary: Cycles of Life
The Morrigan/Kali Ma Botanical Rosary: Cycles of Life
This one-of-a-kind handmade rosary was inpired by The Morrigan and Kali Ma and the cycles of birth, death and rebirth.
This rosary contains beads of five types: hand prepared beads made from magnolia, camellia and daffodil flowers, high quality obsidian crystals, and three skull beads form Bali. The beads are arranged in three groups: Birth, Death, Rebirth.
The rosary can be worn, placed in an altar and/or used for prayer/intention setting.
The flower beads are lovingly made using a slow, intentional process. First, I choose the flowers (in this case from my garden in Cornwall) and I set them in one of my altars and they become part of my sacred space.
I go on pilgrimages to collect sacred well water - for these beads I used water from LadyWell outside of Ashburton in Devon.
When the flowers are ready, I blend the petals with the well water, before purifying the pulp using gentle heat.
Once cooled, I drain the clay of liquid multiple times and save the dye for paint. I smooth out the clay and allow it to sit for up to a week, before rolling it out into beads and then baking them.
Each rosary takes over two weeks to make and is infused with love, ritual and ceremony - and the divine feminine spirit of the land in the UK.
Each rosary comes with a hand-dyed altar cloth, prayer card and crystal.
