Tibetan mystical beads Dzi

All that is known is that these stone beads are covered with mystical patterns (eyes, strips) and are an important part of Tibetan culture. To this day, Tibet and its culture are shrouded in mystique.

The meaning of the word Dzi corresponds to the meaning of the words “brightness, brightness and sharpness”. People in this part of China have always attached great importance to jewelry – jewelry is used as a way to show a person’s status, as well as having great religious significance. Even the poorest families keep some beads as charms.

The current religion in Tibet is Buddhism; however, the accounts are believed to have come at a time when there was another religion in Tibet: the bon. This is clear from the strange drawings on the beads, which point to shamanism and witchcraft. It is difficult to say anything with certainty about the Dzi beads, as the Tibetan culture forbids any archaeological expeditions on their soil. Scientists have been talking about these accounts for years due to a lack of documented evidence. We only know that they were used as charms to increase power.

Tibetans believe that the Dzi are of supernatural origin. There are many different stories and legends surrounding them. Their appearance is related to ancient times, when the demigods used them as jewelry. Every time Dzi was damaged, she was discarded, as she would lose her powers once damaged.

There are several stories about Dzi beads being insects. These stories tell that these beads were insects that lived on earth, but turned to stone when they came into contact with a human hand. A story tells about a man who saw this insect in the mountains and threw his hat to catch it. When he took off his hat, the insect turned to stone. These “insects” were sometimes found in the droppings of cattle or on the horns of dead animals. The theory of insects is often used to explain why they are often found together, forming a kind of “nest”. A legend says that even after removing the beads from the ground, they continue to move for some time.

Another legend says that they came out of a mountain. They ran down the slopes of this mountain in streams. An angry woman shot a glance at the mountain and her flow froze.

There is also a modern story, which became a kind of “urban legend”. It states that all the passengers on a bus would have perished in a traffic accident if one of them did not keep an account.

All these stories confirm the belief that the Dzi are magical and can protect their owners from problems and diseases. The traditional medicine of Tibet uses powder from intact (not broken) beads in a mixture with other magical substances, for the treatment of epilepsy.

The beautiful mystical beads of Dzi seem to have a very strong energy. It is believed that they protect against all kinds of failures and bring prosperity, wealth and health to their possessors. They vary depending on the type of luck you want to attract.

Feng shui practitioners often use these beads in combination with other amulets.
