Welcome to another Lesson of our School of Witchcraft. According to Magic, a ring is a symbol of power. It is associated with Time and the Wholeness because a circle is the ‘Perfect Shape’ of alchemists. The Ring is also associated with Uroboros, the snake that bites its tail. Witches, Wizards and alchemists now that each finger has a special association with a magical quality. Hence, YES, it is important how to Wear Rings. Let me remind you, that we wear our wedding ring on a certain finger… and there’s a reason for that!
On which Finger to Wear Rings according to what you Pursue?
To answer that we need to remember that each finger is associate with a God / Goddess and Planet. Let’s remember this from our article of ‘Magic Rings’ before we continue.
The Fingers and their Magical Associations with Gods, Goddesses and the Planets!
The thumb holds and expresses the power of Aphrodite – Venus.
The index holds and expresses the power of Zeus – Jupiter.
the middle the power of Saturn.
the ring finger the power of Apollo – Sun
and the pinky or little finger the power of Hermes – Mercury.
Mars and Moon don’t have their fingers, so if you want to make a magic ring under their power you should wear it in a compatible finger to the purpose of the ring.
Now that we’ve seen fingers associations, let’s see what each God/Goddess-Planet is related with.
Zeus – Jupiter is associated with Education, Opportunities, Good luck, Abundance and Improvement. Hence, we choose the index finger, for all kind of material or intellectual growth and development.
Saturn is associated with Wisdom & Eternity. Hence we use the middle finger to make things last forever.
Apollo – the Sun, is associated with Happiness, Magical Arts / Prophecy, Prosperity, Fulfillment and Good Health. Apollo blesses us with a filling of perfect bliss. This is why we use the ring fingerfor our wedding rings. To make our marriage happy and fulfilling!
Aphrodite – Venus, is associated with Peace, Beauty and Love. Therefore, we use the thumbto bring forth affection and satisfaction.
Hermes – Mercury is associated with Communication, Telepathy, Psychic Powers, Witchcraft, Travels and Financial transactions. Hence, we use the pinky, to promote better understanding and safe traveling and transactions. On this finger, we wear Rings to radiate our personal magic. We prefer talismanic rings like this!
Two hands, two magical Polarities
Yes, we have two – nearly identical – hands.
No, they are not the magically equal according to Witches.
If we are right-handed, most usually the Right Hand is the projective – masculine – yang one. We use this hand to send a message to the universe. To project something to this world. Or maybe, to affect something out there.
Also, if we are right-hander, most usually the Left Hand is the receptive – feminine -yin one. We use this hand to receive energy.
If we are left-handed this usually is reversed. Hence, our right hand is receptive and left hand is projective.
For many people this is not easily applicable as they use both hands for both reasons. Both hands are equally receptive and projective.
How to Wear Rings
We should probably start with an example: Let’s say that we want better sex life. We would probably use the Thumb. Now, as we saw before, the thumb is associated with Aphrodite – Venus hence we want to use a ring which is made by either metal or stone or color which corresponds to Venus. A ring made of an alloy copper and/or has emerald on. This will boost our purpose.
Now, lets see what metal corresponds to each finger – planet.
Zeus – Jupiter & index finger, is associated with tin. Moreover, Gems and stones associated are Sapphire, Topaz, Amethystand all blue stones.
Saturn &middle finger is alchemically associated with lead.Moreover, Gems and stones associated are Obsidian, Lapis Lazuli and all black stones (like Onyx).
Apollo – the Sun,& ring fingeris associated with Gold! Moreover, Gems and stones associated are Ruby, Garnet and Opal and all yellow stones.
Aphrodite – Venus&the thumbis associated with copper. Moreover, Gems and stones associated are Carnelian, Rose Quartz, Emerald,Rhodochrosite andMalachite (along with Jupiter and Saturn).
Hermes – Mercury& the pinky, is associated with quicksilver (which is poisonous and liquid hence we cannot and should not use it) and silver (which actually is associated with the Moon but due to it’s nature we can use it for ANY other substitute). Moreover, Gems and stones associated with Mercury is Amber, Citrine, Peridot, Zircon (which can be coloured as we wish) Smokey Quartz & Rhodochrosite.
Important Tip: As it is highly unlikely to make a ring made of copper, we use silver as a substitute for any other metal (except from Gold). Silver is witches most favorite metal because it’s highly magical and we can charm it in any way we want.
Engagement rings are mostly worn on the ring finger of the left hand. Most people who wear their engagement rings stick to tradition. Promise rings are often worn on the ring finger of the right hand. Wedding bands though, can be worn on any finger the wearer sees fit.

Wearing a ring on the left middle finger is less common but can symbolize balance and responsibility. It's often chosen by those who want to make a statement about their individuality. Rings worn on the right middle finger may carry different meanings depending on the individual.
Pinky rings have long been a symbol of sophistication, class, and elegance. And, in recent years, the pinky ring has experienced a modern resurgence in popularity among both men and women, becoming a trendy accessory that is often worn as a fashionable statement piece.

The Ring amplifies the inherent powers of its bearer, with one example giving Sauron control over other Ring-bearers. The One Ring corrupts those who possess it, leading them to be influenced by its malice and will to dominate, as seen through the effects it had on characters like Gollum, Bilbo, and Frodo.
They were called Narya (the Ring of Fire), Nenya (the Ring of Adamant), and Vilya (the Ring of Air). Narya was first worn first by Gil-galad, who gave it Círdan, and was lastly worn by Gandalf. Gil-galad also initially owned Vilya, before Elrond inherited it after the former's death. Nenya was worn only by Galadriel.
Traditionally, the wedding band is placed first on the left ring finger and then the engagement ring is placed on top of it. The wedding band symbolizes the bonded commitment between you and your partner, so wearing it first keeps the ring closest to the heart.
