Athena Prayer Bead Necklace in Blue Lace Agatei: Greek Goddess of Wisdom and War, Patron of Artisans

This set of Athena prayer beads consists of four sets of twelve gemstone beads each on the loop, each set separated by a metal bead. Joining the string is an additional bead and a pendant representing the goddess: an owl, Athena's own bird. It is made with 6mm blue lace agate gemstone beads and ornate silver-toned metal beads, separated by silver-toned metal spacer beads, and glass seed beads to provide a comfortable transition from one bead to the next and to make the piece lightweight, supple, and easy to handle. The loop itself is approximately 33" (83.8cm) in circumference. It is designed to be used in prayer and meditation, to decorate an altar or shrine, and/or to adorn a statue.The beads can also be worn slipped over the head as a necklace. If you plan to wear it, please make sure a 33" (83.8cm) loop will fit easily over your head, as this piece has no clasp.The beads come with a prayer to Athena, and with a cotton muslin bag for storage. You can, of course, use the beads with any prayers, or for any god or gods, that you choose or that resonate with you.
