Ægir: The Sea Personified

In Norse mythology, the name Ægir translates to "ocean." Ægir and his wife Ran are seen as the animating powers of the ocean and it's various qualities. Ægir is often portrayed as a gracious host to the gods, and personifies the more benevolent aspects of the sea, while Ran seems to correspond to its more sinister aspects, usually mentioned in the context of growing unfortunate seafarers and dragging them down to the depths of the sea. Together the couple has nine daughters, often interpreted as being spirits of the waves.

All of our malas are made with genuine high quality semi-precious stones that each carry their own special and specific energetic properties to help you attract or overcome certain feelings, thoughts and emotions.

This mala is part of our Element Collection, representing the Water Element.

This traditional Tibetan mala has 108 beads, plus 3 marker beads (not to be counted in meditation), and a guru bead and silk tassel.

Elements: Sea Sediment Jasper, with frosted white Sea Glass marker beads and guru bead. The tassel is 100% spun silk in variegated shades of blue, turquoise, purple and white.

Thread: This necklace has been strung with white color Nylon thread for its strength and durability, especially important when working with natural stones, as their hard edges can sometimes rub against and weaken other threads such as cotton or silk.

All of our malas are hand-knotted between each bead, which protects your beads should the necklace ever break. It also helps alleviate potential damage caused by beads rubbing against each other.

Note: This mala is available in two different sizes, with 6mm or 8mm stones. The 6mm mala measures approximately 20" and the 8mm mala measures approximately 24" when measured from the center marker bead to the bottom of the tassel. Due to the fact that each item is hand-knotted, there may be some slight variations from one mala to another. Please select size during checkout.

All our mala designs are also available in 27 bead pocket malas, as well as intention bracelets and more delicate wire-wrapped jewelry.
