This is from our Sister, Laurie. It is designed by John Michael Greer and Clare Vaughn.

The Goddess is seen in many aspects and many moods. Many Witches resonate strongly with the Triple Goddess, who resumes in herself the life stages of maiden, mother, and crone. Clare designed a small simple Triple Goddess rosary that can be used to meditate on these aspects of scared femininity. Made of moonstone, carnelian, and black onyx beads with glass spacers, it is small enough to tuck into a pocket or purse, yet carries a wealth of meaning.

MATERIALS LIST
To make your own Triple Goddess rosary, you will need:

• 9 moonstone beads 8mm*
• 9 carnelian beads 8mm*
• 9 black onyx beads 8mm*
• 36 clear AB-finish seed beads, approx size 8/o
• 6 silver crimp beads
• Beading wire, approx 12 inches, narrow enough to pass through the moonstones
• Silver spiral pendant charm or silver colour metal
• A bead board or mat and a crimping tool

*or matching plastic or glass beads

MAKING THE ROSARY
Assemble all of your beads. Lay them out in the groove of the bead board, or on the mat in the following order:

• 3 silver crimp beads
• 3 seed beads
• 9 moonstones beads, with 8 seed beads spaced in between
• 3 seed beads
• 9 carnelian beads, with 8 seed beads spaced in between
• 3 seed beads
• 9 black onyx beads, with 8 seed beads spaced in between
• 3 seed beads
• 3 silver crimp beads
• spiral pendant charm

Prepare your materials and refer to the general instructions in chapter four on how to string rosaries on beading wire (see page 85).

1. String the beads in the order given above.
2. Use the closure method that fastens the beading wire to the shank of the pendant charm.

Rosaries strung on beading wire

1. Unwind a length of beading wire from the spool. Do not cut the wire yet; if it is left intact, the spool itself serves as a "stop" to keep your beads from slipping off. (If you are using a per-cut length of wire rather than a spool, wrap a piece of tape around one end of the wire, like a flag, to be the "stop".)
2. Thread the number of crimp beads you need for one side of your closure (one to three, depending on your project) onto the beading wire. Let them slide down until they are lying against the spool or bead "stop".
3. Now thread your beads onto the beading wire, in order, until all the beads are strung. Make sure you have about three inches of beading wire beyond the beads, for a closure allowance.

Stringing a rosary, which closes with a charm. Like the Triple Goddess rosary.

1. Thread the cut end of the beading wire through the shank of the charm. Now turn the beading wire back around the shank of the charm to form a loop, on which the charm will hang.
2. Thread the beading wire back through the crimp beads and if possible through several of the proceeding beads as well, and pull it fairly snug. Leave enough room in the loop of the beading wire for the shank of the charm to move freely.
3. Using pliers, crush the crimp beads firmly around the beading wire. Trim off any exposed end of beading wire.
4. Then cut off the other end of beading wire through the spool, leaving two inches or so of beading wire beyond the end of the beads for a closure allowance.
5. Thread the second end of beading wire through the shank of the charm, being careful not to tangle it with the loop of beading wire already there.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 4.

This seems like a very nice project and magickal tool. I have not yet made one, so if you have any questions about the directions, please contact Laurie.
