Spirit Beads

From the beginning of time, humans have collected treasures that held meaning, whether carried, placed at their altars or shaped, strung together and worn. These were their stories of belief and devotion. Necklaces, talismans and amulets were an ever present spiritual connections to their universe. The earliest beads are simple but the very act of fashioning them, imbuing purpose, is a meditation, a prayer. The word bead comes from Anglo Saxon bidden, to pray and bede, prayer. Our instinctive reaction to the sacred intent of a string of beads connects us to our own sacredness… in that moment the symbolism begins to tell our own story of belief and devotion.

Spirit Beads bring ancient ritual to our modern lives, guiding us to a quiet place of focus and intention, the place of meditation and prayer, no matter your practice.
