Rosaries, as well as being used for Christian Worship, are also used in many folk magic traditions for a variety of charms. Rosary beads are one of the latest iterations of prayer beads- a type of religious tool seen across many religions across the globe. Within the UK, you see them used for protection charms, saining charms, meditation, self love work, cleansing and prayer. They are used for their counting patterns, as a physical tool and as a form of divine communication.
The cross featured is inspired by the one standing on the Island of Iona where the book was first drawn. The antique look beads reflect the subtle colours found within the book itself.
The first Irish rosary beads were made using simple stones or animal horns, but these are made from hand crafted Connemara Marble.
