This set of Celtic Soul Prayer Beads celebrates Brighid, known in the Scottish Hebrides as Mary of the Gael. The islands of the Hebrides are known as the Isles of Brighid.

This set celebrates the Goddess Brighid as a triple Goddess related to creativity, healing and activism. She is our hope which returns to the world at Imbolc, a hope rooted in action, an active hope.

The purchase of this set includes a mini course which outlines the symbolism of all the beads from the three ‘step beads’ inviting you into sacred space, to ways to use the beads from meditation to ‘breathing into the circle’ and their symbolism of the wheel of the year.

The jade of these beads (which differs in varying light) symbolises the hope Brighid brings as she returns at Imbolc, which I view as being represented in snowdrops. These little plants seem so small and fragile but are really very tough and strong to survive in the winter weather.
