The Witch's Rosary
With Ariel Gatoga
What is a Witch's Rosary?
A "Witch's Ladder" is often used in various Craft traditions for rituals, spells, and spiritual practices. This tool helps focus intent on specific goals through repeated chants, affirmations, incantations, or prayers. Its beads or knots assist in tracking repetitions, ensuring each step of the ritual is carried out with precision and purpose. The Witch's Ladder can be structured in any configuration the practitioner desires.
The Witch's Rosary, however, is a very specific type of witch's ladder. It has its own current of magic for connecting with the Divine. While its structure resembles that of a Catholic Rosary, its origins trace back to pre-Christian traditions. It is a magical system unto itself that honors balance between masculine and feminine energies.
How to Structure and Use a Witch's Rosary
The design of your Rosary is essential for this particular operation. It consists of five "decades," each made up of one larger bead followed by ten smaller ones. This configuration may be arranged as a linear strand or in a circular design, depending on individual preference.
In the Witch's Rosary, the larger beads represent the God or masculine energy, while the smaller beads signify the Goddess or feminine energy. Adding a charm or tassel at the end provides a personal touch. Popular symbols include the pentagram, Celtic knot, or Goddess figure, though you can choose any design that aligns with your spiritual path.
The Witch's Rosary is a beautiful and versatile tool that can enhance spiritual practices, keeping rituals focused, intentional, and meaningful.
