Ring magick

I wanted to add something for my witchy tips post.

I talked about rings there and I want to explore their uses more!

Rings as charms

This is the most known way to use rings. Give purpose to it, wear it, and there you go!

Rings as circle casters

While wearing your ring, turn it clockwise to cast the circle and turn it counterclockwise to close it.

Especially nice if you have a ring with a turning piece.

Rings as mood spells

Ring spells are not very powerful generally, but mood ones are pretty good.

Think of it like when we fidget with a ring when we're nervous.

Breathing deeply and clearing your mind, turn it counterclockwise to banish a bad mood (anxious thoughts, anger, more energetic negative moods work best) and then turn it clockwise to bring in a good mood (relaxation, peacefulness, clearer mind.)

These ring spells work for when you're too upset to do another spell.

Rings as chargers

As they touch your hands so much, rings are extra charged with energy! For that reason, setting it on a table and placing something inside them or just on top can recharge theat object.

Useful for charging tiny bottles, crystals or other charms.

Where do I wear the ring?

This part is how I interpret our hands and fingers, so you could agree or disagree.

Left hand or right hand?

The hand you use to write with is your dominant hand. It is related to the Sun.

The other one is the supporting hand. It is related to the Moon.

Which finger should I wear the ring on?

The pinky= Fire

The ring finger= Water

The middle finger= Air

The index finger= Earth

The thumb= the Abstract/the Spirit Realm (abstract is if you don't believe in spirits)

Explanations and meanings

Pinky= the shorter and less present but still extremely important. Associated with energy, taking action to get to a goal, energy going outwards.

Ring= the one that connects to our heart, usually as long as the index, indicating that our Earth is made of water and earth. Associated with emotions, love, intuition, energy is spreading.

Middle= if we spread our fingers, this one stands the tallest towards the sky. Associated with rationality, intelligence and thought. Energy goes inwards.

Index= usually as long as the ring finger, and the second most important one. Associated with the senses, grounding ourselves, nature and work. Energy is shielding us.

Thumb= separated but still present and the most important. Associated with either concepts, ideas, creativity and inspiration, or spirituality and faith. Energy is a connection.

What kind of ring should I wear?

Material

Gold= Sun

Silver= Moon

Black silver= Space

Copper= Planets

Wood= Earth

Other metals= see the properties of each metal

Tips

If it has a gemstone, read its meaning and you can use it accordingly.

Give a meaning to the decorations!

If your ring leaves a green or black stain, it's either bad quality or the reaction of the metal with the salts in your skin. Can happen with silver and copper especially. Mine stopped after a day, but if it doesn't, here is what you can try:

Avoid contact with soaps and lotions.

Apply clear nail polish on the inside of the ring. You'll have to reapply it every once in a while.

Find stainless steel, platinum or rhodium plated rings. Most white gold rings fall in the last category.

If your ring leaves red marks, irritated skin and rashes, stop wearing it and ask a doctor.

There we have it! I think that's all. If you have questions or suggestions, leave them in a comment, a reblog or a private message and I'll answer!

You can (and should!) recharge tokens, charms, or magically attuned items like rings and necklaces through the same means as charging crystals: moonlight, water, salt, earth, smoke, sound, and so on.
