Hekate (Hecate) Pocket Prayer Beads in Snowflake Obsidian: Greek Goddess of Magic and Witchcraft

Regular price $36.00 Sale

This set of Hekate (Hecate) pocket prayer beads in snowflake obsidian consists of twelve beads, representing the Greek dodecatheon of twelve gods; there are many more than twelve Greek gods, but most cities had their own group of twelve. Joining the string is a pendant, a symbol representing the goddess: the key. Hekate is often depicted holding a key, as is fitting for both her role as a psychopomp who travels to the underworld, and her role as guardian of the entryway to the home.

It is made with 10mm black and white snowflake obsidian beads, separated by gunmetal-black metal spacer beads, and glass seed beads to provide a comfortable transition from one bead to the next and to make the piece lightweight, supple, and easy to handle. The string itself is approximately 11" (28cm) in circumference and is designed to be used in prayer and meditation, to decorate an altar or shrine, and/or to adorn a statue. The small size makes it easy to keep on hand in a drawer, a purse, or a pocket.

The beads come with a prayer to Hekate, written specifically to be used with this prayer bead design, and with a cotton muslin bag for storage.

You can, of course, use the beads with any prayers, or for any god or gods, that you choose or that resonate with you.
