The Rosary in My Practice🥀

October being the month of the holy rosary, I’ve decided to write about how I utilize rosaries in my practice day-to-day! This is from my perspective as a folk practitioner who works with/prays to Mary & the saints and includes many catholic elements in what I do. 

• I tend to use different rosaries for different purposes, as rosaries are not only a devotional practice in their own right, but also a lovely magical tool. However, in using a rosary to connect with Mary, I want to stress again that it’s completely fine to rewrite and reword prayers or leave one out(like the creed). Of course the traditional prayers do have a power to them BUT if it doesn’t feel comfortable for you to say all together, then you can change it. Saying a prayer is like reciting a spell. 

• Rosaries and rosary style prayer has become very important in my ritual, spellwork, and devotional work. Not just in connecting with Mary, but with my ancestors and saints! My ancestral altar includes a for my catholic ancestors that I’ll use to pray for them as an offering, and to deepen my connection and dedication to them (you do not have to include catholic elements in ancestor work and you can say no to catholic and christian ancestors!!!). I made my ancestors rosary myself and it resembles more of a Fraiskette, including medals for saints important in German and French folk religion + to my family. 

• I keep a Joan of Arc rosary close by to use and pray when petitioning Joan, and to find comfort in, as she’s a saint I love dearly and have built up a strong connection with. On my main working altar I have a rosary to use when calling in a saint/Mary to do tarot readings with, ask for assistance in spellwork or celebrating feast days important in my practice. The separate space I have for the archangels includes a St Michael chaplet I made and a rosary, again being something I’ll pray as an offering, or to deepen my relationship with them and petition them! 

• My rosaries are also very personalized, and I encourage yall to add to your prayer beads or try your hand at making some yourself, give it personal touches that make it more meaningful to you! I typically don’t pray the rosary traditionally, and will pray my own Marian prayers that feel appropriate based on what I’m asking Mary for, or which epithet of her I’m connecting with and feeling called to. Personally, rosaries for me are very comforting and I often pray them completely Mary focused with an Our Mother prayer instead of Our Father, as Mary is a big part of my life and I go to her all the time. My rosaries are often worn as well.

Rosary style prayer and beads are something I use in connection with other deities as well. My Diana beads I made are prayed like and resemble a rosary, used during rituals or spells that include her, and have a set of prayers I wrote. 

• The rosary is a wonderful devotional and magical tool! There’s many different ways they can be incorporated in your practice and magic. From going by use of and associations with bead materials and color magic, to having a string of magical and personal charms to keep with you, rosaries have a lot of room for creativity and adaptation. The rosary doesn’t have to be prayed in full all at once either, and can be as simple or deep as you would like it to be. Write your own mysteries to think on in prayer, Marian or pagan, add your own charms and centers you like, anoint or bless your rosaries in the names of a goddesses you worship who are syncretized with Mary, make your form of rosary use personal. Most importantly, do what fits your needs and practice, and makes you happy!!

for my fellow witches who practice christian folk magic and use the rosary, I've written a special set of prayers for Palestine. Feel free to use and distribute this if you wish.

“God is not glorified by anything more valuable than the Tasbih of Fatimah al Zahra (س). Had there been anything more worthy, most surely the Holy Prophet (س) would have taught it to her.” 📿🌹

— Imam Baqir (ع)

One of the many beautiful effects of the regular recitation of the Tasbih of Hazrat Zahra سلام الله عليها is that its sincere recitation brings tranquility to one’s heart. One who recites it regularly will be protected from various calamities, both in this world and the hereafter, and will attain a softening of the heart and lightness of the soul.

yall are gonna annoy me to death with your weird Catholic Laura Lee fixation.

Listen. As a New Jersey Catholic(TM) raised around other NJ Catholics, quite a few of them WAAAAY more pious than myself, Laura Lee is not our tribe. She never so much as makes the sign of the cross for fuck's sake. BUT

You know who is Catholic?

Mari.

#that girl is Very Filipino and thus Ver VERY Catholic #why she (aside from Van) is one of Lottie's most devoted acolytes #needs almost no convincing that Lottie is a prophet #that there are god(s) in the wilderness that Lottie can commune (intercede) with #Mari who INSISTS Lottie can perform miracles and earnestly participates in morning prayer #despite being one of the snarkiest and most cynical members of the team #HELLO. CATHOLICISM #that girl is a practicing- still has her communion dress in her closet. abuela insisted she pack a rosary 11am mass every Sunday CATH O LICK #thank u goodnight #Catholics don't do lakeside dunk your whole body in a lake baptisms like Laura Lee did with Lottie #first of all...laypeople don't administer Baptisms at all #BUT EVEN IF laura lee felt so compelled she would've dribbled some water over Lottie's forehead and called it a day #that full body wade in the water schtick? no. Catholics are way too mild mannered for that #We Don't Dunk #yellowjackets #laura lee yellowjackets #mari yellowjackets

charles leclerc literally rewrites your brain chemistry because tell me why i was in church yesterday praying for this man.... prayer 1 and 2, standard things you ask god for. prayer 3!!! lord give charles leclerc whatever he wants, and then give him to me.

#unfortunately as a practicing/believing catholic #i really am in this scuderia ferrari shit for life #thou shalt not have any other gods before me but even He'd understand if it's charles leclerc #monza is just as important as easter to me. i am showing up for the race with my hair covered and a rosary #i think we all deserve a white boy to be obsessed about. #charles leclerc #f1 #introspective.txt

Do you like Hel? Do you like prayer beads? Then I've got some posts for you!

here is the post about the rosary on the left (with all its prayers and ""mysteries"", and here is the post about the skull beads on the right and its associated prayer, which was inspired by the locked tomb novels. both if these posts and many other ramblings about the topic can be found by clicking on the tag "rosary".

additionally: since I am someone who loves this kind of prayer and devotion, I am always thrilled to hear about your own prayers/mantras/beads/etc, or even just some interesting thoughts you have on the matter, so please don't hesitate to share.

#rosary #tomb beads #beast barks #can't make two posts pinned? easy #make a third post that redirects to both 👌 #and thanks to welcome-to-the-warren for encouraging me that my current and evolving practice deserves a spotlight #since I'm so obsessed with using the tomb beads and prayer ever since i made them #pagan prayer beads #prayer beads #hel

the Rosary is like.... the coolest thing ever..... the fact that you intentionally sit down and reflect on these key moments in Jesus's life every day and present your heart to God and teach yourself to slow down and think and get to honour Mary as well and also learn to practice regular surrender in the process is PRETTY cool

#everyone who grew up in one of the three orthodox branches of christianity are probably like. this is not news to me #but i have literally JUST read more in depth about the mysteries and why they're an important part of praying the rosary #so it IS news to me xD #slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in year 21 #i was sitting there like. oh my word this is SUCH an excellent practice #for your spiritual health your mental health and also educational purposes/helps with improving your focus and attention span

[ariaofsorrows]

i think alucard and richter would fight over religion all the time

#i do believe alucard is a catholic based on the fact that he’s depicted with rosaries all the time #and richter is orthodox christian #bring up one (1) religious practice and the both of them would never stfu #the great schism. in their home. all the time

[itsnotmydreamdaditsyours]

not to sound catholic on main but rosaries are not meant to be worn as a necklace. they wrap around your hand for prayer (represented by the beads). chains with a cross/crucifix arent rosaries those are just necklaces

#personal #now I dont care if you wear a rosary as a necklace but if youre going to do a character that practices you should know the difference !

[hikikodollie]

I love wearing crosses and rosaries just for the esthetic, if that makes u mad then cope and seethe

#“ur appropriating my religious symbol!!!” stfu u literally take up 31.11% of the world's population u aren’t some oppressed minority group. #omg we can edit tags now #unpopular opinion #ig??? idk #idk if thats an unpopular opinion #anyway I think I have the right to appropriate things from the religion that is/was used to oppress and demean ppl like me #ex christian #ya'll act like christians haven't historically stolen the religious practices of other groups #christians stole a whole ass holiday but me wearing a rosary cause I think it looks cute is too far? lmfao be fr #angelsdigitaldiary #gutspilling

Lustful afflictions |

Priest nanami x brat! fem reader

Warnings: age gap (readers in her 20s and hes like 30 something), perversion of Christian faith, corruption, m receiving, sacrilege ,

Notes: fell off the face of the earth for 2 months now I'm back so enjoyy <3

Imagine driving priest nanami to temptation and making him lose his mind remembering it all during a prayer for forgiveness

"I confess to my sins of lust" he recounts, knelt in prayer

From the moment you walked into his cathedral he could sense trouble

"the source of my sinful affliction, that of a girl who wondered into my very own church"

You'd giggle in his sermons, and look at him with a sparkle that he couldn't quite place. Your words dripping off your tongue like melted candy, he can only recall how the sound of his name from your lips sent jolts of an unfamiliar feeling through him.

"A walking temptation she was.."

the way you're dresses were always so short and tight, there was disrespect that radiated from your very being yet it wasnt the biggest issue

He could see it when you listen to his sermons, not with intent but with amusement more so seductively studying him, often catching himself losing his focus if he made eye contact with you.

It was most apparent when you came up for communion, staring up at him with doe eyes as you ate the bread slowly, smirking when he couldnt keep the eye contact . Turning back ever so slightly with a giggle as you made way to your seat.

"I repent, I repent"

Hed prided himself on always being a man of honor and more importantly a man of god, hed thus expected the unholy thoughts to go away on their own.

Though he took a concious effort not fall into the temptation you dangled before him and keep composed.

"It was in this very confessional where the affair began"

To his suprise you came to confessional one afternoon. Skipping down toward the box, the apparent click of your heels hitting the tiles of the church floor made his heart pound in his chest.

"She spoke things I'd never heard before, she promised to help me in ways the lord couldnt"

"Lust is natural for all of us isnt it nanami"

He cleared his throat, at the sugary way you said his name

"Lustful thought" you'd sighed, "though I think we all struggle with lust, do we not?"

"I suppose so, but we thus practice abstinence" he replied

"I should've abstained..."

"But do we really need to abstain from what we truly desire" you said , trying to push your luck "I mean I see how you look at me father nanami"

"I am a holy man though how I acted was not a reflection of that"

He slid your side of the confessional door open staring down at you with a faint blush. The priest was undeniably a beautiful man, his defined face and toned body that peaked under his black attire but was noticeably when he fidgeted with his white collar.

"So what do I do about it?"

"Take a seat" you purred

"I wish to repent and continue a life in your light"

He was clutching a rosary while you were on your knees, the priests cock hitting the back of your throat repeatedly.

He barely held it together, muttering forgive me lord under his stuttering breaths. He whined under your every touch, finding himself pleading for release, as the feeling of your throat was warm and unlike anything hed ever felt

begging for more, with his deep grunts as he thrusted unconsciously harder

"Forgive me I have sinned"

"Nggh" he breathed out, while you hummed and massage his balls, cumming down your throat with a deep whine

You wiped your mouth and stand, kissing his cheek sweetly. Straddling him with affection.

"You're not wearing panties" he said bewildered

"Didnt think I'd need em" you giggled as you slowly slid onto him. Both moaning out at the sensation. You began to move slowly adjusting to his girth, his head laid back as he breathlessly panted

"No no, look at me, look how good you make me feel" you said as you gently cupped his cheek

There is something so powerful about unraveling such a large man.

"So tight," he heaved tinted of blush across his face. You grind into your spot, moans filling up the small confessional space.

"Mmm so good, you're doing so good" you purred into his neck

"Forgive me because I find myself addicted to the feeling of her around me"

His thrusts grew sloppy, his grip on your hips stutter

"Forgive me because this addiction has costed me certainty in my faith"

He released into you for the second time, slumping into your plush chest, as you stroked his hair comfortingly.

"Amen"
