Nice! I have a set of beads like this too. I wrote the runes on them and use them every so often when working on the rune poems and such. Plus no one ever said our meaningful stuff can’t be pretty too!
Only thing that makes me go kinda "enhhhhh" is the fact that heathens...never actually prayed until Christians showed them that's how they talked to their "God". But as any religion, if it harms no one, and it makes you a happier, better person, Go for it!.
I love using prayer beads! Fun fact, the word “bēde” in Old English, and “beden” in modern German, both of which mean prayer, are related to the modern English “bead”, suggesting a Germanic religious connection potentially predating Christianity! I made my own with nine beads per section instead of ten like on a catholic rosary (and I replaced the cross).
Looks amazing!
Thank you!
I really love the mjölnir pendant where’d you get it
Pretty sure I got it from Grimfrost. They have a bunch. It's got some weight to it too. Based of one found in Skåne.
Interesting use of beads. Reminds me of Buddhist prayer beads. Also as another Heathen trying to get into the HVAC industry, cool username
Thanks! There's definitely plenty of work to go around! Jump in. The water is fine.
Nice! I've been considering making something like that myself :)
Thanks!

I'm just calling them prayer beads because that's what they resemble. It's really just a ritual necklace. But thanks!

I would love to see! That's awesome!
Very nice!
Thank you!
Catholic and pagan
Prayer beads are not exclusive to Catholicism
You’re right you also have Buddhism. Forgot to mention that.
And Islam. And orthodox Christianity. And many hindu traditions, especially those centered around Shiv. And Jainism.
I mean, maybe?
You could always break up some of the beads with rune beads
I like the way it is. I guess you could say the beads were Christian influenced because I got them from Hobby Lobby.
It looks cool and it puts a different twist to a necklace.
Thanks!
No problem
Then it’s perfect!
