These special Celtic triple horse/Goddess Epona pagan prayer beads are 25" (62cm) long and have been handcrafted with purple amethyst gemstones, labradorite gemstones, faceted crystals, art beads, artisan ceramic beads, glass pearls and artisan lampwork glass.
A pewter Celtic triple horse pendant (28x28mm) hangs from one end of the prayer beads, with a carved labradorite horse's head (36x38mm) hanging from the other. A Celtic knot bead has been placed along the strand to represent eternity and the eternal manifestation of your intentions whilst using the beads.
********************
The image of three horses entwined on the pendant symbolises the different aspects of belief revered throughout the Celtic tribes. First is that of the horse, intelligent and independent. The horse has a mind of its own and proves this time and time again to those who try to impose their will upon it.
The second horse denotes the human aspect. How one treats and interacts with the horse shows the nature of the individual.
The third image symbolises the horse as Divine Consciousness; a link to Epona, the Celtic Goddess of all Equines.
Epona translates as Divine Horse and it is said that she and her horses lead the soul to your preordained destiny and bring divine help in hours of need.
********************
Iridescent labradorite has been chosen as a highly mystical and protective stone, a bringer of light associated with healing.
Amethysts have been chosen to strengthen and develop intuition, inspiration & healing. Known as a change stone, amethyst can bring about changes in your life and consciousness.
********************
The strong feminine energies of this piece are amplified by the inclusion of handcrafted lampwork glass and ceramics by female artisans. There are some truly beautiful pieces of work included in this strand.
