CUSTOM Pagan Prayer Beads/Rosaries

We do extensive research on every commission to find historical information on worship and practices on each deity and take into consideration every commissioner’s personal associations as well. For us at The Trickster’s Apothecary, we understand how important personal connection is to one’s worship and that is the main focus of our shop as queer pagans who have had to hide all parts of our identity at one point or another. There is no greater honor for us than to utilize our combined skills in order to help forge these personal connections, as we understand how everyone can see a different aspect of their chosen deity that most speaks to them. We understand that the deities closest to your heart, or the specific face of them you cherish most, might be the hardest to find–especially for deities with less historical information available. We want to be able to assist in whatever way possible to create a path that brings you your authentic spiritual joy. 

Our rosaries and jewelry are made of beads we hand wrap with a large array of in stock wood, gemstone, ceramic and glass beads. Our metal components are typically gold-tone or traditional stainless steel to reduce tarnishing, with the exception of any vintage assets like pendants or specialty beads. Many of our beads are hand made as well in alabaster or from compressed herbs with gold, silver, or copper leaf. We follow symbology, numerology and mythology when starting on the designs of our jewelry as we want them to fully embrace the deity they represent. 

Our prices are as follows:
Standard Rosary commissions are $120 and use the materials we have on hand or the ability to create with the materials we have available.
Premium Rosary commissions are $150. We recommend this option if there is a specific vision you have in mind for your rosary and materials that feel necessary to have included. The following qualify as Premium Rosary commissions: 
          - additional length
          - pendants or cross-pieces depicting specific imagery that need to be acquired
          - beads in a specific material (stone, wood, glass, etc.) that need to be acquired

Please always feel free to message us if you have questions about what materials we have on hand. 

Personalization information:

Our priority with every custom piece is that it reflects your personal practice and relationship with the deity/spirit you're honoring. When placing your order, please provide any relevant details in the personalization field. This can include a specific epithet of the deity you'd like to be invoked, imagery or symbols you would like included, an aspect of the deity you work most closely with, etc. We want your rosary to speak to your personal practice and relationship with the deity in question as much as possible; to do so, we ask that you include this information in your order so we may begin work on your piece as soon as possible. Processing time for these custom works is 4-8 weeks; delays in receiving your preferences can result in longer processing times. Please note that it may not be possible to include every symbol, image, or detail listed in your preferences, however we will work with you to ensure that your piece speaks to the parts of the deity most important to you. 

We ask that you include all relevant information in the personalization field before check out. If you would like to have an ongoing discussion about your piece, see progress photos, or add additional details that you remember later, we ask that you reach out to us directly. This can be done by using the contact form at the bottom of our site homepage, emailing us directly at contact@trickstersapothecary.com, or direct messaging us on Instagram at @trickstersapoth. We will respond using whatever format you reach out to us with. If using our contact form, we ask that you provide your preferred method of contact for an ongoing conversation. When we receive your order, we will begin work on your piece with whatever information you provide at check out. Please be sure to include all relevant information as this will be the what we base your rosary on unless we hear further details from you. 

Please note: If you have specific associations for metals, stones, or woods, please be sure to inform us. Our associations with those materials may be different and we want to ensure that your piece speaks to you and your practice. 

Please know that your custom rosary will never be listed in our shop, as it will be made to reflect your unique practice and relationship with that deity. In the future, you may see a rosary available honoring that deity or specific epithet with some similar elements. Any new version will always be revised to call in different aspects of that deity/epithet including different pendants, cross-pieces, and chain. Please rest assured knowing that your unique rosary will never be offered in our shop; it will be handcrafted to suit you and you alone. 

Depicted above is a custom rosary made previously to honor Aphrodite Epitragia and is representative of the style of rosary you will receive. The review for this item is on an individual listing and can be viewed in our shop reviews, but here's what they had to say after receiving their piece:
"I am impressed with the skill, the eye for detail and the love they put into this custom-made rosary. It's not just lovely, it's such a dainty, beautiful object of art. And what I like most of all is that you can see it's hand-made, which matters a lot to me. I can't recommend highly enough."
