Sedna: Goddess of the Sea

Sedna is the goddess of the sea and marine animals in Inuit mythology, also known as the Mother of the Sea or Mistress of the Sea. The story of Sedna, which is a creation myth, describes how she came to rule over Adlivun, the Inuit underworld. The legend of how Sedna became a sea goddess is told throughout the Arctic. The story varies from one region to the next. However, in all versions, a young woman becomes the mother of all sea creatures. After being promised into marriage by her father, she is married to a man who turns out to be part bird. However, upon discovering how unhappy she is with her new husband, Sedna's father attempts to rescue her, but they are attacked by a flock of birds, and their kayak is capsized. Sedna sank to the bottom of the ocean and there she became a powerful spirit. Now at home on the ocean floor, she becomes a mermaid, with the head and torso of a woman and the tail of a fish.

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 adjustable mala bracelet is part of our Element Collection, representing the Air Element. Our bracelets are perfect for stacking and layering.

This bracelet features a beautiful Triratna pattern emphasizing groupings of 3, with marker beads between each set. While these bracelets do not contain the sacred 27 beads for counting mantras as a quarter portion of a full-size 108 bead mala, the number three is sacred in Buddhism as well. In Buddhism, the number 3 can be seen to represent the Three Jewels (the Triratna) that make up Buddhism. These are: The Buddha, The Dharma (The body of teachings that describe Buddhist doctrine and belief), and The Sangha (The group of people who follow the Buddha and his teachings).

Elements: Matte Amazonite, with Sandalwood and Turquoise marker beads and TibetanTurquoise and brass sliding bead as an adjustable clasp.

Thread: This bracelet has been strung with Light Teal 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 bracelet is available in three different lengths, with either 6mm or 8mm Smooth or Faceted stones. The Smooth cut stones are available in a matte or polished finish. Since these bracelets are adjustable, measurements reflect the shortest (fully closed) length of each size. Sizes are as follows:

Small - 6.25" (6mm or 8mm)
Medium - 7.5" (6mm or 8mm)
Large - 8.75" (6mm) or 9" (8mm)

Please note that due to the unique, hand-knotted nature of our jewelry, sizes may vary slightly from one piece to another. Please specify finish, cut, bead size and bracelet length during checkout.

All our intention bracelet designs are also available in 108 bead malas and 27 bead pocket malas, as well as more delicate wire-wrapped jewelry.
