Elemental Prayer Circlet
The cycle of life, acted out daily in the smallest patch of garden, and the energy of all living things, reaches out and touches us all. The basic components of life are the four elements: earth, air, fire and water. These four elements can be a source of strength, energy and protection. This circlet calls on the elements.
This circlet is based on a circle of 4 larger focus beads, separated by 10 smaller beads, but can be adapted to any set of prayer beads. These prayers are designed as a chant or litany, and are kept simple to allow for inspiration and meditation. Prayers may be said aloud or to yourself.
