[Craft] Hekatean Prayer Beads

[glaive]

• I used copper wire to make the connectors
• 5 decades with 50 total wooden beads
• every decade is segmented by a deer antler skull bead
• loop is closed with a Mykonos spiral bead
• tail made with alternating fire agate beads and snake vertebrae, 7 each

I use the wooden beads to count the amount of times I repeat Jason Miller's Hekate mantra - IO HEKA IO HO - said at least 100x/day, so I go through the whole loop at least twice - and then use each bead on the "tail" for a changing list of Hekate epithets.

Great work. How do you recognize start/finish bead?

Thank you! I am able to feel the difference at the clasp/end which has 2 skulls in a row as well as the mykonos spiral bead beginning the tail dangle.
