Wearing...

When I first found out about the story of Rudraksha coming from Lord Shiva's tears, I was very excited, and I did long to have some near my skin. I don't always wear the ones I have, as I like to experience the seperation from them too - but when I am reminded I look over and smile.

There is something very attractive about them.

My friend ordered me a lotus seed mala, but funnily enough, when they arrived (the moon was in Mula, which is also where my natal moon is placed... Alakshmi strikes! :P), there were not even a 108 on there, (only about 103) and a couple of them were cracked. They said they'd send out another one to replace, but they haven't yet, so I'm left trying to decide what to do with the one I have, I did think of taking it apart and making a half size one, which I think I will probably do, but I haven't mustered the courage yet to try, as I think the knotting in between the beads will be fiddly to do well - hence stressful on the nervous system.
