Druidic Beads

I had this set of Druidic Beads made. You probably can't tell, but I had the number 137 built into the design. There is one bead for the Earth, one bead for the Sun, and also a couple of beads made from petrified wood. Then three sets of nine beads in different colors for the different grades of druidry. That's one set of colors at least. Some of the British Druids postulate that Bards wore a White Robe, Ovates wore a Red tabard over that white robe, and a Druid put a Black cloak over the red tabard and white robe.
Anyway, why 137? See this:

The Eighty One Triads of Universal Philosophy (studied by Druids . . . Ovates study Natural Philosophy) can be recited on the 27 beads, if one runs through the length three times. The Universal Druid Prayer is also 9 lines (if you count saying an Awen at the end).
*** Blessed be to those who serve the Great Mother and the Horned Father.
