Darkness to Light
This styling is more dark in comparison to sunny island sea and sand imagery. It represents an awake and grounded individual an empowered human being, a warrior, a goddess. Someone who has confronted the shadow and sees it for what it is.
Story and Myth Blessing Beads, sacred, spiritual, sourced from secret island finds. Protection bracelets and malas (assorted prayer bead necklaces shown).
A Mala of Love & Victory
Lord Krishna was born in the city of Mathura, in Uttar Pradesh and it is said that these seeds are found only in the forests around Mathura - the land of Krishna. In India they are known as vaijanti. They are associated with love & victory over any adversity, a mala (prayer bead) made of these vaijanti beads was believed to be a favorite of Lord Krishna. The beads are beautiful, smooth and shiny and feel like a pearl or porcelain when tapped against the teeth. I have always known them as Job's tears named after Job in the bible. Sometimes I wonder if Krishna is Christ and vise versa - phonetically they sound similar. There are no documents of Christ after age 12 or before age 30 ~ I wonder if he was travelling throughout India as both teachings are similar. It is said that Krishna made a mala for Radha out of these seeds, as did Ram for Sita. It is also said that the Vaijanti seed comes from the forests where the god and goddess eternally make love and is a mala of love and victory.
So all this time I have been using these beads which I absolutely love and mixing them with gemstones and just found out this wonderful new Story and Myth about them.
