Celtic Goddess Rosary
Although all branches of Christianity honor the Virgin Mary and Jesus, reflecting both the feminine and masculine aspects of God, the feminine essence of the Divine is greatly respected in all Celtic Christian writings, and may be evident in Celtic rosaries…
Beads of Faith Gary Henry and Susannah Marriot
Blessed are you
and blessed are all the fruits
of your womb.
For you are the MOTHER of us all.
Hear us now
and in all our needs.
O blessed be, O blessed be. Amen
The Celtic Goddess Rosary is designed for Christians who recognize both the male and female aspects of the Divine. I based the design on the Goddess Rosaries (based on the modern Anglican Rosary) being used by the community at the Ebenezer Lutheran Church in San Francisco. These sets have 33 beads divided into three sections (Cycles) of 11 beads each. 33 represents not only the triple aspect of the Feminine Divine, but also the number of years Jesus walked the earth. Each Rosary has a Goddess figure and a Celtic cross.
How you use your set to pray or meditate is completely up to you. There is no right or wrong way.
