Mother Earth Botanical Rosary
Mother Earth Botanical Rosary
This one-of-a-kind rosary embodies the energy of the Earth Mother who goes by many names across time, place and culture: Gaia, Pachamama, Danu, Asherah, Ker, Mut, Tiamet, Devi, Atabey, Yemoja, Izanami, Cybele, Nuwa, Tara, Ninth, Asase Yaa. She has many symbols: water, earth, soil, sky, trees, mountains, hills. Her message is “You are deeply connected to the earth and all of nature.”
The necklace is made of 97 beads:
13 rose clay beads
18 rose quartz jade beads for love, compassion and heart healing
22 handmade air clay beads painted with rose botanical dye
44 ruby in zoisite beads for happiness, appreciation, abundance, vitality, growth, emotional healing and opening the heart to love.
The rose beads are lovingly made using a slow, intentional process. The roses were used in circle and ceremony in March 2025. Roses are associated with heart opening, love, healing and the divine feminine. The rose has the highest vibration frequency of any flower at 320MHz. Roses are portals to the heart chakra, a symbol for the feminine aspect of the heart and have a strong association with Venus, Aphrodite and Mother Mary.
The rose 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 and paint the handmade air clay beads in this necklace. I smoothed out the rose 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.
