Fornax Rosariana
The Forge :
The Objective Secundarium of The Battering Ram 2k is to equip the Faithful with Rosaries for their belt, that they may be visible signs of the Church in secular society by their virtuous appearance, conduct, and life. The Battering Ram 2k operates modularly, by commission, so that each Brother and Sister in the Crucible can design and customize his Rosary for optimum facilitation in prayer, meditation, and devotions, personal or public. See below for further instructions.
The Forge is not fully operational, but I hope to finish setting it up shortly. Please forgive me and the system for any inconvenience. -Faber

1 - Objectives :
-
Read the Codices Virtus Catholica and Virtus Rosariana, which provide additional considerations and clarifications on the spirit of the Belt Rosary. These must not be read all at once or immediately, but the messages contained are very important for our Millennium.
-
Review the Modulations below and send a transmission through the Contact. After I receive your transmission, I will reply, offering a questionnaire, so that you may design your Weapon.
-
Answer the Questionnaire.
-
Submit payment on our Etsy Shoppe when I tell you. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS FORGE UNTIL THEN. This ensures that you are not over-charged or charged for anything that I cannot fulfill. Once you have done so, I will gather the materials and begin work. When it is ready, I will ship the Rosary over to your address.
In short : Contact the faber ; Fill out the Questionnaire and send ; Transmit payment ONLY when prompted.
This process will last a few weeks, because every sale is made to order. Response time will be quick, but the time for shipping in materials will take longer. More details and a small undeveloped gallery are below.

Description :
Basic Description :
-
The Belt Rosary is a Rosary hanging on one's belt, somewhat in the shape of an N or M, all the way down to the knee. It is ordinarily worn by many Religious Orders, but there is no reason that an ordinary Layman cannot also wear it, as long as he does so in a spirit of Humility, Faith, Hope, and Charity, rather than pride and vainglory. (This has been confirmed by a Monk-Priest.)
-
Unless requested otherwise, The Battering Ram 2k makes its Rosaries without the first Our Father Bead ordinarily and immediately joined to the Centerpiece. Instead, we unite the First Pater and Center, slightly simplifying the Introduction and necessitating less fingering. The Centerpieces of these Rosaries can resemble the Paters, incorporate a Medal Centerpiece, or, as in many Religious Orders, be a simple key ring, where the Rosary connects to your belt, in the front. More information will be offered in correspondence.
-
Currently, The Battering Ram 2k is only operating in the United States. Meanwhile, those looking for paracord handheld Rosaries of superior quality may profit from the Forge of SanctusServo.
Modulation :
-
The Battering Ram 2k offers different kinds of Rosaries, which you can explore in more detail here.
-
The Battering Ram 2k does not make Gravia 15-Decade Rosaries at this time.
-
Additionally, a certain devotion will be more apparent in the overall design. For example, a PS Binary Rosary can be either Decade-dominant (PS) or Week-dominant (SP). The options for dominance can be better discussed case-to-case in correspondence as needed.
Price is primarily determined by the Ave Beads, but also depending on taxes, shipping, and other variations.
-
Levia (Light) Rosaries have knotted Aves. (~$20)
-
Media (Middle) Rosaries have 8 or 10mm-wide metal beads for the Decades. (~$40)
-
Gravia (Heavy) Rosaries have 12mm beads within the Decades. (~$53)
-
You can have 2 Devotional Medals attached for free, but each Medal above that costs $3.
Materials : The Rosaries wrought from this Forge are made with 550 paracord and metal beads. Not all options are necessarily available.
-
You choose between certain paracord color options and certain metal tones.
-
You also can decide certain aspects of your Rosary's composition, especially regarding belt attachment, Crucifixes and Centerpieces.
-
The full list of Modifications are available on request in a questionnaire. This questionnaire and what The Battering Ram 2k offers are highly subject to change depending on what is available. There are, in other words, no objectively set or guaranteed options. If I cannot fulfill a request, I will let you know and provide other options.
-
Each commission is meant to be a work of art, with a serious consideration of function and aesthetic, according to your request as possible.
Other Tips :
-
The Rosaries can catch on things, depending on how careful you are in your environment. However, The Battering Ram 2k's Rosaries are made to be relatively indestructible.
-
To begin the Forging Process, read on. Otherwise, please read, enjoy, and promulgate the articles in the Archivum. May God bless you and our Lady guide you!
Gustate et Videte :
"See the wonderful results I have had through preaching the Holy Rosary! Thou and all those who love Our Lady ought to do the same so that, by means of this holy practice of the Rosary, you may draw all people to the real science of the virtues."
Jesus to Blessed Alan de la Roche
Some of the projects previous are pictured below. The white paracord P-15 with gunmetal tone beads and Celtic Knots is an example of the design of this initiative. The Rosaries made with cotton cord and wood beads are examples of our previous experience.
