Tapio Prayer Bead Bracelet in Green Agate: Finnish God of the Forest

Regular price $30.00 Sale

This Tapio prayer bead bracelet in green agate consists of thirteen beads; at the end of the string is a pendant a symbol of the god: the leaf-covered face of a man. Tapio is in truth a forest god--his beard is of lichen, his eyebrows of moss.

This piece is a smaller, lighter, more easily wearable version of my pocket prayer beads and comes with the same prayer.

The bracelet is made from 8mm green agate 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 lightweight, supple and easy to handle. It is approximately 7.5 inches (19cm) long with a 2-inch (5cm) chain to adjust for size and fit; it adjusts from 7.5-9.5 inches (19-23cm) in length and fits most 7.5-9.5" wrists (but can be made for other wrist sizes as well--please contact me for more information on customization!).

The bracelet is designed to be worn and used in prayer or meditation, but may also be used to decorate an altar or shrine, or to adorn a statue. 

The beads come with a prayer to Tapio, 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.
