Mujaji: Sky Goddess of Rain and Mist

Mujaji is a rain Goddess of the Lovedu people in South Africa. She sent drought to Her people’s enemies but caused rain to fall on Her people. The Goddess Mujaji seldom appeared to human beings. She is said to reside in the Drakensberg Mountains. In times past, She was propitiated with sacrifices of cattle. She also ruled over purification and cleansed Her worshippers in preparation for ritual, and the people danced as an offering to Her. A rain doctor assists by seeking the cause of any droughts and performing rituals to remove obstacles that block rainmaking powers.

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 necklace 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: AA or AAA Grade Labradorite, with Ornate Balinese Silver marker and guru beads. (Please note: I use high quality silver beads handcrafted by artisans in Bali. Due to supplier availability, exact design of guru bead may vary. If you'd like a sample of my current bead stock, please message me and I'll be happy to send you a photo with different available options). The tassel is 100% spun silk in variegated shades of gray and white.

Thread: This necklace has been strung with Pewter 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, and It can also be made with either smooth or faceted round 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, finish, and gemstone grade during checkout. AA grade Labradorite is slightly more opaque and a more noticeable grey color, while AAA grade Labradorite appears more translucent, with shimmering colors that catch the light.

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