Artemis Pagan Prayer Beads/Rosary/Witch's Ladder

Published:

Description

This is a Pagan rosary designed to pay reverence to the goddess Artemis. The beads are all semi-precious stones that relate to Artemis: amethyst, pearl, moonstone, and quartz. The double-sided crescent moon pendant is a symbol of the goddess as well. The moon has a separate star charm hanging in the negative space of the crescent. The chain has a claw clasp on the end that can hook to any part of the rosary to form a necklace.

Witch's ladders are traditionally made by tying feathers into a rope or knotting a rope in sections of 3, 7, 9, and 21. These numbers are considered powerful in Pagan/Wiccan traditions. Although this is obviously not a traditional witch's ladder, it serves the same purpose. Witch's ladders are used in a similar way to Catholic prayer beads-to pay homage to a god or goddess, or to pray for something.
