That was a very interesting take, however, I was a tad confused between the general people who wear the beads in order versus those that choose to "highlight" one specific animal.   I get that the animal/corresponding bead highlight to other animalists who within the 16 gods/animals. But, who are the people who just wear the normal beads? I think it may be worth clarifying that section.
