Mut Prayer Bead Necklace in Purple Tiger Eye: Egyptian Mother Goddess, Goddess of the Heavens, Queen of Gods

This set of Mut prayer beads is a long loop of 42 beads, joined by an additional bead and a pendant representing the goddess wearing her characteristic vulture crown.

It is made with 6mm purple tiger eye gemstone beads, separated by silver-toned metal spacer beads and glass seed beads to provide a comfortable transition from one bead to the next and to make the piece supple and easy to handle. Carnelian was a stone used in ancient Egypt for jewelry and other items.

The beads are approximately 26.5" (67.3cm) in length. They are designed to be used in prayer and contemplation, but can also decorate an altar or shrine, or adorn a statue if desired. With 42 beads on the loop, they are intended to be useful as well for meditation on the Negative Confessions or Declarations of Innocence, an enumeration of the principles of ma'at (truth and order) included in many Egyptian Books of the Dead. 

The beads can also be worn slipped over the head as a necklace. If you plan to wear it, please make sure a 26.5" (67.3) loop will fit easily over your head, as this piece has no clasp.

The beads come with a prayer to the goddess and 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.
