Saturn Pocket Prayer Beads: Roman God of Agriculture, Abundance, Wealth, Time, Father of the Gods

This set of Saturn prayer beads consists of twelve beads, representing the Dii consentes, the twelve great gods worshipped in Rome (there were, of course, far more than twelve Roman gods, but the Dii consentes comprised a traditional grouping); it is joined by a string of three more beads, a reminder of the Capitoline triad, the three supreme deities of Rome. A pendant represents the god: an hourglass, signifying Saturn's association with time itself.

It is made with 10mm deep blue Czech fire-polished glass 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 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 Saturn, 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.
