I made two sets, a normal size one and a kind of pocket/travel sized one companion set. Also one of the charms is an attached piece of sea glass which I've never done before so I'm quite proud of that!

Showing off my handmade prayer beads for Lady Artemis today :) I see a lot of posts around asking about how prayer beads can be used for worshipping the Greek Gods, so here’s the basics of mine!

My main set of prayer beads are these ones I made from wooden beads and wire. I made these a while ago so they’re not the best lmao

These are made so my prayers focus on remembering different epithets of Artemis and considering how each one guides me in life. I change which epithets I thank each time, but I commonly thank Artemis Hemeresia for her support in hard times, Artemis Aristobule for her guidance, Artemis Agrotera for helping me chase down what I want in life etc.

My second set are a smaller charm to hold while I pray or meditate in general. These are inspired by the myth of Callisto, my favourite Artemis myth and the one I connect with her through the most. I have the two bear charms for Callisto and Arcas and the feather for the arrow of the hunt. I made these from beads I stripped from thrift shop necklaces!

This is a rosary I made that's available in my shop right now!! Inspired by the "Our Lady of The Underworld" title of Mother Mary, this is the Notre Dame Sous Terre rosary. For Christopagans venerating hellenic gods, this could be used as a prayer tool for Hekate or Persephone as well 💕💀🌹
