Mother Mary Botanical Rosary: "Speak Your Truth"
Mother Mary Botanical Rosary: "Speak Your Truth"
This one-of-a-kind handmade rosary was inpired by Our Lady, Mother Mary.
This rosary contains 107 beads of two types: hand prepared beads made from roses and sodalite crystals (throat/voice activator).
The rosary can be worn, placed in an altar and/or used for prayer/intention setting.
The rose beads are lovingly made using a slow, intentional process. First, I choose the flowers, or they are given to me out of love, 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 Glastonbury’s Chalice Well and a number of sacred water sources close to me in Cornwall, including Menacuddle Well, St Brevita’s Well and St Keyne’s Well.
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.
