A Handmade Rosary of St. Francis/St Clare

Jasper/Amber/Redwood bead rosary of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Clare in Sterling Silver wrapped. The Sterling silver medal is St. Francis on one side and St. Clare on the flip side. There is a story of St. Francis and St. Clare in the Forest of Portiuncula. The monks saw a burning fire in the forest and they ran quickly to put the fire out, but all they found was St. Clare and St. Francis standing in the forest facing each other yet some distance apart. There was this blazing fire of Divine Love that was between them lighting up the entire forest. Some may not know that St. Francis’ mother was a noble woman influenced by the Courts of Southern France. The courts of France began in the 12th century. This was the day of troubadours and courtly love. Yet underneath the veils of courtly love, which was introduced by Eleanor of Aquitaine was a form of spiritual love that I like to call “No Hands Tantra” better known as white tantra in the East. This secret tradition was brought back to France from Queen Eleanor Aquitaine after visiting the East during the crusades. Eleanor with her daughter Marie Champagne brought forth the Troubadour Tradition where the arts, poetry, music and writing flourished. A Knight or a Noble Lord would dedicate himself to a Lady of the court that brought forth an alchemical relationship based in a noble pure love. It was out of these relationships that the arts flourished like never before in Europe.**********This rosary was a special order I created for a man that wanted to experience such love. I have been making rosaries and smaller chaplets for several years now to match the many novenas I have practiced and researched. This project was very close to my heart because my first Pilgrimage was to Assisi and I am a descendant of Eleanor of Aquitaine as a Great Granddaughter down her lineage. If you would like to have an expression of a rosary and spiritual practice that is crafted in your own spiritual goals please contact me and I can assist you.
