Goddess Ker Botanical Rosary
Goddess Ker Botanical Rosary
This one-of-a-kind rosary embodies the energy of Ker - Cornish Mother goddess of the grain, fertility and nurturing. She is the name sake of Kernow/Cornwall and her symbols include grain/wheat, corn, gold, the earth + perpetual pregnancy. Her message is “You are eternally loved.”
The necklace is made of 137 beads:
46 daffodil and gorse beads
24 yellow rose beads
46 yellow jade beads for joy, peace and self-confidence
23 bumblebee jasper beads for adventure, fertility and creative inspiration
Process:
The flower beads are lovingly made using a slow, intentional process. The roses were used in circle and ceremony and the daffodils and gorse were grown and harvested here on the ancient Celtic lands of Kernow (Cornwall, UK) - the spiritual home of goddess Ker. Roses are associated with heart opening, love and the divine feminine. Daffodils are associated with rebirth, new beginnings and hope. Gorse is associated with optimism, vitality and a connection to the sun’s energy.
The flower petals were blended with sacred water from St Keyne Well, my local sacred water source, before cleansing the pulp using gentle heat.
Once cooled, I drained the clay of liquid and used this dye to colour altar cloths. I smoothed out the clay and allowed it to sit for a few days, before rolling it out into beads and then baking them.
This rosary is infused with love, ritual and ceremony - and the divine feminine spirit of the land in the UK.
The rosary can be worn, placed in an altar and/or used for prayer/intention setting.
Please do not get the rosary wet as it is made from all natural materials.
Each rosary comes with a complimentary goddess card and crystal.
**The word rosary refers to the garlands that were traditionally woven from roses and offered to the Virgin Mary in the springtime. But long before Mary, those same garlands were made as offerings to other goddesses by many other names. Roses were offered to Venus, the Roman goddess of love and fertility, whose emblem was also a circle with a cross pendant. Before that, they were offered to Isis, the Great Mother of the ancient Mediterranean world. The rosary is an enduring, multi-cultural symbol of the divine feminine and our own connection to the divinity within us.
