***Memorization, of course, is preferred.  You may, however, choose to alternate your rosary prayers based upon need or whim.  In which case, memorization may be difficult until lengthy
practice is employed. [This rosary is structured like a Catholic Rosary, with the exception of having nine beads per decade instead of ten.]
Ø        To make the pentagram: start with the first two fingers touching the forehead, then proceed to the left breast, the right shoulder, the left shoulder, down to the right breast, and ending again at the forehead.
