Use
Beads worry has several uses in Greek culture, including:
- relaxation, fun, and generally pass the time
- as a talisman, to protect from bad luck
- used by people who want to limit smoking
- as a sign of social strength and prestige. This is especially true in the case of expensive worry beads made of silver or amber.
Many prominent Greeks are worried users and beaded collectors, including former Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou and business king Aristotle Onassis.
Features
Bead worries can be built from any kind of bead, though amber, amber resin (like faturan), and corals are preferred, as they are considered more comfortable to handle than non-organic materials such as metals or minerals.
Greek anxious grains generally have an odd number of beads (often one more than a multiple of four, for example (4ÃÆ' â € "4) 1, (5ÃÆ' â €" 4) 1, and so on, or prime numbers, (usually 17, 19 or 23) and usually has a head consisting of a fixed bead (????? "imam"), a shield (???) To) to separate the two threads and help the beads flow freely, and tassel (???? ??). Usually the length of beads worries about two widths of lontar.
Usage
The worrisome beads can be handled in various ways. The most common is the quiet method, for indoors, and an acceptable noise method in public places.
Quiet
The most common calm method is to start at one end of the thread or chain, near the shield, and draw the thread forward using the thumb of that hand and the side of the index finger until one of the beads is reached. Then the cord is dropped so that the bead falls and touches the shield. This is repeated until all the beads have culminated and then the user starts again.
Loud
The second method, the harder, is to divide the beads into two groups. At one end there is a shield and a small number of beads. At the other end is the rest of the beads. Where the two threads are empty, the space is placed between the index finger and middle finger. The hand should be in a position where the palm faces the torso. Then the tip on the back of the hand is swung up and forward so that it touches the other beads, making a sound.
The yarn is then diverted back to the space between the index finger and the middle finger by holding the thread between the thumb and the index finger. It's rhythmically repeated, creating a louder click than the silent method. Another method is to hold all the beads worried in one hand and roll it to one another, creating a soft click sound.
As a musical instrument
An alarming bead can be a musical instrument, linked to rebetiko. The sound is emitted using a drinking glass and rubbing the lip against the worried beads, which are suspended from one button.
As a ritual
It is also superstitious in certain Greek communities that prospective husbands, on the night of their marriage, will perform "worried bead rituals" that involve the rapid back and forth movement of all the beads. This is intended to ensure sexual fulfillment (????????, synousÃÆ'a ), on the wedding night and during the next honeymoon.
