How to Make Pagan Prayer Beads

In many magical traditions and religious paths, the use of beads can be a meditative and magical exercise. Why not assemble a set of beads that holds meaning to you.

Wow all of those are so beautiful :) I just may have to have a crack at that! Is it okay to use hemp string? I also have crystals but how do I tell if they are real they were on a necklace when I got them and one I actually got in the pendant section of a craft store called Michael's.

I used hemp line on my one set because I wanted to keep it as natural as possible. I liked it. As for the crystals I'm not really sure.

My second set, a Moon Goddess set.

This is my witches ladder:) It can be hung in the home for protection or also used as prayer beads. Its very old though, it was my grandmothers but the best thing about it is that you can unbraid the yarn to add or take away beads. I've only added. Its magickal to me because even though I have added beads to it, the yarn used is the one my grandmother bought 50 years ago!!!! Thanks for letting me share:)

Thx for this. I make jewelry for family for the holidays but I never thought to make anything for myself. This will be the first thing I make for myself. Haha

I really really like this.

I've made a couple of sets, but they aren't much like anything I've read about. I just kinda...followed my gut. Amethyst and quartz with a Goddess bead and a Tree of Life pendant.

They probably aren't real, however that shouldn't really matter. You put your energy into the ladder/prayer beads when you make it, and it wouldn't matter if you had paper beads, plastic pony beads, or the most expensive diamonds on there.
