“O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?” (Mat 16:3, KJV)
The Signs of the Times Hemp Disciplina is an instrument of spiritual discipline for those who truly mean it: The seven heavy hemp falls with three knots each pack a punch and will produce bruising when swung with a will. Due to its weight and the tightness of the knotting, this hemp Disciplina will enhance your penitence or supplication with lasting impact. To emphasize the penitential character of the tool, we gave it a purple sisal grip that lies well in the hand. If you can read the signs of the times, this Disciplina is for you.
A Disciplina, also known as a whip, flagrum or scourge, is an ancient instrument of penance and spiritual discipline. Here at Cords of Penance, we make our Disciplinas of hemp and sisal rope, by hand and with care. Our whips are tried and tested, and found to do the job very well without much ado.
The ‘Signs of the Times’ Hemp Seven-Fall Disciplina with hemp rope measuring 6mm in diameter (about 1/4″) has an average size grip and longer length falls, each with three knots. Together they add up to a total of 23″ in length.
Our Disciplina design has been extensively tested with over 10,000 strokes and holds strong. Whips like these can add an edge to meditation and fervency to your prayer without necessarily drawing blood. However, bruising is very likely when using a hemp whip.
The 100% hemp rope we use for the falls of this Disciplina is a natural, biodegradable product. Grown without pesticides and herbicides, it was processed without using chemicals. This pure, unmixed hemp rope won’t cause allergies or fray easily, and it does not contain synthetic oils. It is strong, mold- and UV-resistant, exceptionally durable and retains its knots very well. You need neither oil, wax, nor otherwise condition your Signs of the Times Hemp Whip.
Customers have repeatedly confirmed that our Disciplinas lie well in the hand. They are easy to use with satisfying results, making them the perfect tool for meditative penitential spiritual practices.
We package discreetly so you can buy with confidence!
