This one-of-a-kind handmade rosary was inspired by The Morrigan and Kali Ma and the cycles of birth, death and rebirth.

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.

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.
