This stunning cobalt blue Witches ladder is hand-wired using stainless steel eye pins and features rubberized beads, a small Opalite pendulum point, and a silver-toned metal Venus of Willendorf charm.
Although not done in feathers and sticks, like traditional witches ladders, this ladder is done in four groupings of 3, 7, 9, and 21 beads, all important numbers to witches and other Pagan groups.
This witches ladder can be used as prayer beads, for dowsing or divination, in spell-work, or worn as a necklace.
The beads are 8mm rubberized cobalt blue glass beads.
The beads are hand-wired using stainless steel eye pins and my trusty little looper tool.
The jump rings are bright aluminum.
The charms and chain are silver-toned plated alloy metal. They are lead, nickel, cadmium, and arsenic-free.
In between the sections of 3, 7, 9, and 21 beads, I've put a short length of silver metal chain.
At one end is a bullet-shaped Opalite pendulum point.
The other end has a silver-toned metal two sided Venus of Willendorf charm.
The Venus of Willendorf is also called the Goddess of Willendorf. She is a symbol of fertility.
More info on the history, symbolism, and other info about the Goddess of Willendorf will be added.
See below.
The witches ladder measures about 29 inches from the tip of the pendulum to the bottom of the charm.
A lobster claw clasp can be added to make this witch ladder/pendulum wearable.
All prayer beads and pendulums will come in a small organza bag for safe storage.
I will be adding more information about the symbolism of the colors, numbers, and types of stones used, as well as the properties of the stones, magical and otherwise.
I also plan to add information about various pagan paths, how to use a pendulum for dowsing, and other miscellaneous pagan-related tidbits.
