The Gnostic Rosary (EG)

You've got to be kidding, right? Gnostic Rosary? Please... First of all, the early Gnostics would not have known what a rosary was. The Roman Catholic concept of the "Rosary" originated in the 13th century. Whether or not Gnostics, Essenes or Early Christians use prayer beads is unknown and remains to be proven. Modern day people who call themselves Gnostics are a far cry from the Gnostics of the first and second and third centuries A.D. For a Gnostic to associate him/herself with an icon of the so-called "orthodox" Church would be akin to a Jew wearing a Swastika. If you consider yourself to be a modern-day Gnostic, why do you subscribe to New Age neo-pagan prayers and religious icons of a Church that sought to eradicate anything associated witg Gnosis?
A Rosary is nothing but a set of prayer beads. Christians, whether they be first century or modern, were not the first to use them. Every major religion in the world uses prayer beads. Buddhists, Muslims, Catholics, Anglicans, Etc...So Gnostics are allowed to use them. If you do not like them then don't. And I take offense in your saying that a Gnostic using a Rosary is like a Jew wearing a Swastika is preposterous. Does this mean that a Muslim using a prayer rope is trying to emulate a Christian, or visa-versa? Your argument does not stand on any solid ground.
So far, I agree with the books I have read found in Nag Hammadi library because they have touched my spirit inwardly, and, they offer some level of credibility on certain writings in the Holy Bible. Can anyone more knowledgeable please state where or if the Gnostic Rosary has been written/published in any early Gnostic writing? If not, does anyone know when exactly this Gnostic Rosary was created? Thank You.
Wanker.
How is it anything remotely like a Jew wearing a Swastika...? Why do you require something to be written in a book in order to validate it? What an absolute wanker...
