Afi’s Waistbeads - ‘Ogun’

Waistbeads are a West Afrikan form of adornment + beauty. They have been used as a puberty rite of passage and to invoke certain energies within the womb space - our creative wellspring. You do not have to have a physical womb to purchase Afi's waistbeads. These beads are for all ! All waistbead options are listed below

PLEASE NOTE :
Afi's adornments and ritual products are named and inspired by various deities, Abosom, Orisa, Neteru, forces of Nature. They may or may not aid you in your own personal relationship with these forces of Nature.

All adornments are blessed with oils, charged in Nature and prayed over, made specifically with each individual in mind. No beading arrangement is the same (images are examples of previous beads made). Our waistbeads are made from seed or glass bead laced onto elastic string. Each set of beads will arrive with a handwritten channeled letter specific to your journey. All beads are made to be worn for a certain amount of time. We suggest leaving the beads on until they break. Once beads break (which they are guaranteed to) this means the 'work' of your beads is complete. We suggest thanking them for aiding you, discard of seed/glass beads by burying them in the Earth and recycling elastic string.

One string of beads wraps around the waist once, two strings wraps around twice etc.
