Aether: God of the Upper Air

In Ancient Greece, Aether was the primordial god of light and the bright, blue ether of the heavens. His mists filled the space between the solid dome of the sky and the transparent mists of the earth-bound air. In the evening his mother Nyx drew her dark veil across the sky, obscuring the ether and bringing night. In the morn his sister and wife Hemera dispersed night's mist to reveal the shining blue ether of day. In the ancient cosmogonies night and day were regarded as elements separate from the sun. The word in Homeric Greek means "pure, fresh air" or "clear sky". In Greek mythology, it was thought to be the pure essence that the gods breathed, filling the space where they lived, analogous to the air breathed by mortals.

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 Air 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: Rainbow Moonstone, Sodalite, and Blue Aventurine beads, with Quartz Crystal marker beads and Aquamarine guru bead. The design is intentionally split with the Blue aventurine and Sodalite on the bottom acting as the clear blue sky, while the moonstone on the top portion symbolizes the clouds above. The tassel is 100% spun silk in variegated shades of blue and white.

Thread: This necklace has been strung with blue 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 and 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 specify 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.
