When I performed my oath rite as part of ADF's Dedicant Program, I decided to wear a ring as a sign of my commitment to the Kindreds. I found a lovely silver spiral ring and used that. It weakened and broke. I decided to replace it with a spiraly ring that had belonged to my mother. I performed a ritual to renew my oath and transfer the energy from the first ring to the next. Life goes on.
Today I discovered that the ring from my mother, my second oath ring, is starting to break. This saddens me because it is doubly special. I have decided to take it off in an effort to preserve it as I love having a trinket from my mum's girlhood.
I am now seeking a more solid oath ring.
I like this "I am of Ireland" ring but I'm not sure if it's the most appropriate. I am very proud of my Irish heritage, but I've never even been there... To say I am of it... I don't know...
I also like these Druidic triad rings but I can't seem to choose just one and I'm not sure about wearing three rings at once. Two on one finger seems like enough! lol
In the end I'll probably go with a nice spiral or Celtic knot. It seems to be what I love most.

Oath on your wedding band. It's already an oath ring.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool idea, Sunstrider, but I want that ring to be dedicated only to my hubby.
ReplyDeleteFair enough. I know a few people that consider it to be their family oath ring, is all. Personally, I have my wedding band and a second, plain silver one that 'locks' it into place (we sized our rings during a heatwave, and since they are open celtic knotwork, sizing them is right out). I've sworn several oaths on the two of them together.
