That's not what they're for 💀 They're prayer beads. Each bead represents a prayer which is broken into segments, usually separated by the one black bead. As you move your fingers down the beads and you make it to the end, that's when you know your prayer is finished.

The simple truth about it is that Goth and death rock scene always used Christian symbolism, but the most basic and most probable reason why most goths especially in the 1990s was that Robert Smith used to wear a rosary and goth like all other styles are just trends.

[@CircumcisionIsChildAbuse]

that being said- expecting a deep artistic explanation for your choice of fashion isn't something you'd get out of most people. but then again- people who are often hyper obsessed with clothing in general tend to have minds that rarely deviate from the superficial opinions of strangers.

[@caityumikamisato]

@CircumcisionIsChildAbuse that's very true, and I should point out that people in the goth scene have always been very artistic and have inspired many other fashion trends.

I think people forget that in the 80/ -90s it wasn’t popular to be a demon worshipper, I mean themes like, “personal jesus”, “tainted love”, etc… Had themes of people who you can tell held religion to value but had trouble finding a space in it. 🤷‍♀️ I know my mom used to dress similar, more metal-like, and was catholic her whole life.

If you still feel a connection to Jesus then you should consider dropping the witch act.

[@ZebraLuv]

​@@thinkaboutit2137 It's a slightly different spiritual take, very slightly. Half of Christianity is Pagan text recycled along with all holidays and rituals. You think the church dancing around a decorated tree or smudging everything with sage and holy water was their original idea? Of course not. The "witch act" is picking up the sage and holy water to do your own cleansing instead of waiting around for some over paid preist do it for you. Of course the church isn't going to like losing money but there is no rule biblically saying not to do for yourself, in fact it's encouraged and expected. Now let's compare the cross to the pentagram, because unfortunately they are the same. Jesus historically was placed on the X shaped cross, the t shape is more for the metaphoric representation of the holy trinity and the top point being father God as king of all. The pentagram is the same just with all of god's kingdom added in as being under his rule. If either symbol is turned upside down it represents evil overthrowing god. If people want to wear a cross or a pentagram, they're worshiping the same Abrahamic God along side Islam and Judaism. Sorry to say, but you're all going to the same afterlife. Jesus went around tearing down churches because he wanted to end the petty religious wars. To live like Jesus is to denounce the monetization of worship and treat every life as your own. You'll understand 200 years from now I promise.

If anything, it creates opportunities for Christians to strike up a conversation with otherwise unreachable or people with misconceptions about Christianity.

Something about unbiblical forced abstinence resulting in pedophilic priests. I guess that's what happens when you put men in God's position of high priest when he said we have our high priest in Christ Jesus himself.

Brightest Goth I ever seen

[@elielis6]

I wear rosaries bc of culture and symbolism honestly. I'm a goth, an atheist one, grew up in the craziest religious household. Things were so bad at home that even as an adult whenever i heard somebody coming at me with the converting talk I'd unknowingly get extremely sad. Me now, using religious stuff and even jokingly throwing around religious phrases is me conquering my severe traumas and accepting that they're a part of me that can no longer oppress me :3

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

I can't tell if bro was being serious or not because I'm mind blown lol

[@Kris_B129]

Lol, same 🖤🖤 I've been wanting to start dressing more goth/punk. I had a friend in high school introduced me to punk and goth, and I have felt so much better dressing like this. The only reason I haven't lately is because I'm catholic and a lot of people where I live are extremely conservative and just aggressively rude about it. I feel incredibly grateful that my mum is really nice about all this stuff even though she's catholic and far from alternative. Lol. She even taught me how to make rosaries, and my grandmother made and taught them.✝️🖤📿🖤✝️

is religious trauma distinct from regular old family trauma? cause 9/10 times I meet someone who feels the need to be a visual spectacle their entire life- its usually from a lack of attention from the people who want it from the most.

I saw a wife swap episode were a conservative Christian switched places with a rock goth lady. The conservative was acting all afraid and shocked. They had a barbecue to welcome the conservative and had all their friends and family come over and the woman was scared for her life. Then the swapped husband calls all these pierced and tattooed people wearing their black revealing ripped clothes together, and they prayed before eating and prayed to welcome the new member of their family. That women was shocked like many people are because for some reason people who dress a certain way must be devil worshipping heathens, and not people with a different fashion sense.

And you just reminded me of the time one of my ex's friends picked up my ponytail and went to cut it with a pocket knife. I had been laying on the floor, he was leaning over me. Next thing anyone knew we were both standing, his throat was in one of my hands and the hand with the knife in another as I held him against the snake tank. He dropped the knife and I let him go with a promise to never touch my hair again. My ex said he didn't know I could move that fast, well neither did I. I definitely can't anymore.

Its both, as long as it is worn with respect, theres nithing wrong with it. Besides, the catholic church has never been against it being worn as jewelry, as usually those that do wear it, wear it to have it handy to pray.
