These pagan prayer beads are 27.5" (69cm) long and have been handcrafted with the Celtic Goddesses Minerva & Blodeuwedd in mind.
These Celtic Goddesses of wisdom are closely associated with the owl. In Celtic mythology owls were often associated with wisdom, intuitive knowledge and protection.

A pewter owl pendant (45x10mm) hangs from one end of the beads with a ceramic handmade artisan owl pendant on the other (22x22mm). Little pewter flowers dance along the strand.
