Book Reviews of Pagan Prayer Beads: Magic and Meditation with Pagan Rosaries

Book Review: How to make Prayer Beads
Summary: 3 Stars

This is a good book if you want to think about designs for your prayer beads, not so good if you are looking for what to do now that you've got them.

I was looking for meditations and prayers, if this is what you are looking for then this is not the book you want. If you are just looking for ideas on how to design or make your beads then this is the book you want.

Summary of Pagan Prayer Beads: Magic and Meditation with Pagan Rosaries

Religions from around the world--Buddhism, Hinduism, Catholicism, Islam, and many more, including the Pagan earth religions--use prayer beads as useful guides to remembering prayers and principles. Pagan Prayer Beads by John Michael Greer and Clare Vaughn is a unique and practical introduction to the design, creation, and use of Pagan rosaries, teaching the reader to design and make personal prayer beads for use in myriad spiritual practices.

Co-written by a beading expert (Clare Vaughn) and one of the leading lights in modern Paganism (John Michael Greer), this book will garner an eager audience--from beginners to elders--looking for new inspiration in their personal spiritual practice. Beautifully written, instructive, and straightforward, Pagan Prayer Beads is user-friendly and easy to understand. Lovely black-and-white photographs accompany the text to further illustrate the art and craft of Pagan prayer beads. The how-to sections were "tested" by novices to both crafting and "the craft," who found the directions clear and easy to follow. Throughout the book, Greer and Vaughn have included fascinating history and lore as well as crystal properties, Pagan symbology, and deeply meaningful prayers and rituals to use with the rosaries.

* 30 lovely black-and-white photos accompany the beading instructions.
