Rosaries for Pagans May 8, 2007

The May 5 Washington Post featured Pagans who use rosaries or prayer beads as part of their regular worship practices. According to Meg Williams, a Pagan from Maine:
It makes me feel very connected to God…Going through this cycle of prayer, it switches your brain into recognizing that something holy is happening and God is with you.
Among the Pagan authorities quoted are Chas Clifton, Raven Kaldera and Christopher Penczak. Kudos to the Post for a well-researched, well-written, respectful and insightful article.
I’ve been considering purcahsing a “pagan rosary”. It is one of the trapping of my long ago Roman Catholic youth that I still miss.

Really cool ones, poppy jasper, swarovski crystals, etc.
Prayer beads are an integral practice to my Pagan spirituality. I love the spiritual creativity of creating one and the contemplative prayer possibilities that spring from praying with beads.

you can either get a pagan rosary or get a regular catholic rosary and replace the crucifix with a pentacle. i have done that and i find it impossible to start my day without using it.
