House Protection Mala: BLUE RULER - Talisman for your abode with artisan beads - hanging talisman for wall or door

The word "mala" means "garland" - an object originally worn or carried as a talisman for protection. House Malas are for protection and blessing of the spirits of a place. They are not a product of a specific culture or religion; anyone can partake of their symbolic concentrated power.

This house mala is an object meant to mounted on a wall or hung on a door for protection and blessing in a tradition that has been embraced by many cultures for thousands of years.

From handle to focal, this mala is a about 6.5" (16.5 cm) from top to bottom and about 3.5" (9 cm) wide.

This little collection of artisan beads, earth stones and artifacts from the natural world is meant to hang on a door or wall, in a very ancient tradition of welcoming the good and warning the evil that may come.

Each element adds symbolic meaning, starting with the one of a kind stoneware clay bar holding the piece together - it represents the “Pillar of Heaven” holding the vault of Sky above Earth.

The hero of this mala is the Blue Ruler - a crowned Blue Boy who has overcome Death and Adversity. He dances below a bead symbolizing rain and water, and He is the Ruler of the Birds of the Sky (represented by the bird-symbol on the right) and the Creatures of the Land (represented by the elephant on the left).

The Blue Ruler also employs magic spells: he uses the petroglyphs on the clay oval and the etched Tibetan agate Strong Heart beads on his right, and the pure light of the natural quartz point on his left.

Each of the beads has a meaning: together they tell a story in the order they are strung. Some are old and have lived in other pieces; some are one of a kind artisan works in a miniature size. Most have traveled far, representing distant lands and ancient truths, and all were carefully chosen to be a part of this talisman.
