Here is was a member from a different forum has said about the symbols on the ring.
I hope you enjoy reading it:
So Here is the final analysis. Below is a diagram I’ve put together and numbered each of the symbols. This way I can just refer to the number instead of trying to describe the symbol. Yes, I know the symbols are messy. Yes, I also know my diagram is crooked. And yes, I know I put a ‘me gusta’ face with a squirrel on it in place of the persons. But now, Down to business.
The Band diagram:
Recipe
First analysis is assuming the reagents and symbols are for a recipe. Here they are, assuming the order of the symbols starts from the temple of the figures head. The direct center is in between the two red ‘arrowed’ symbols where a red star is indicated.
1) Balsamic Vinegar (liquid) CH3COOH
2) Menstruum (liquid) Solvent
3) Arsenic (applied to fire? Unsure.) As
4) Salt (aqueous) NaCl + H2O
5) Sal Armoniac (Solid/dust) NH4Cl
6) Lead (Molten) Pb
7) Sorrel (European plant)
Lead (solid) Pb
9) Zinc (aqueous) Zn + H2O
10) Mercury (burnt remains of) Hg
11) Sulfur (gaseous) S2
12) Iron (solid) Fe
13) Menstruum (liquid) solvent
14) Air (assumed reaction with CO2)
15) Tin (Liquid) Sn
16) Brimstone (essentially powdered or solid Sulfur) S2
Ok, so looking at this, it’s very hard to tell what is a reactant and a product. I would assume it is an order of what should be added to produce an unsaid product, but again, there is not enough information to be sure. At best this would be a list of ingredients, leaving the product as well as essential process left unsaid. For this reason, I doubt it’s a recipe, but here it is anyway. Another thing to consider is the band, as in where it fits into the formula. It could indicate that it is both a precursor or closer, but this would be far more likely if it is in the form of a spell, not a recipe. Either way, here’s the alignment of the band:
1) Sorrel (European Plant)
2) Brimstone (powder or solid) S2
3) Salt (aqueous) NaCl + H2O
No having looked over the ‘recipe’ on the band, it doesn’t look like any audible solution. Likely hood would have it that if this portion is indeed a recipe, it is for incense or a sachet. Nothing I would use though, the fumes from that would be highly hallucinatory.
Symbolism
In checking out the symbolism of the various parts, we should be able to distinguish a purpose for the ring. I’ll list the various symbolisms, and then how they fit together at the end. Starting, of course, with the face of the ring.
1) Refinement, change.
2) Balance, duality, parts of a whole.
3) Masculinity, Potency.
4) Preservation, blessing.
5) Congealing, flexability.
6) Darkness, Prime, base.
7) Parental affection.
Darkness, Prime, base.
9) Migration, Joining.
10) Teaching, Creation.
11) Multiplicity, aspiration.
12) Strength, Masculinity.
13) Consumption, Dispersing.
14) Expose, become visible.
15) Life, Group instinct.
16) Greater Wrath, Hell.
What it could mean:
Putting it all together makes it read something like:
To obtain change [refinement] you must balance the parts of the whole. Defend your honor, but remain open to the power of the Darkness [perhaps a deity, the group]. This darkness [deity of darkness] will join, teaching the mass of it’s strength, becoming a part of you, and becoming a [visible] part of [the groups] life, to life’s [world’s] end.
Looking at it, it definitely resorts to the same ‘group’ philosophy seen before. It’s definitely an artifact of a group or cult, explaining the multiple rings, and the man on the center is either the high priest, or is believed to be of the ‘deity’ mentioned earlier. I don’t understand cult logic too well, but either way, the man was persuasive.
Symbolism: Part 2
Now I’m gonna look at the sides of the ring. It would seem it would be a beginning and ending phrase, and the way it is symmetrical around the face, indicates that it is more likely a blessing, as would the recipe implement of incense indicate.
1) Parental Affection.
2) Greater wrath, Hell.
3) Preservation, Blessing.
Not too many ways to look at that.
What it could mean:
Putting that together makes it read something like:
The father [of darkness] gives his greater wrath [blessing] to preserve you.
Interesting. But yea, definitely a cult path, probably satanic or intentionally dark. Fitting anyway, because the ring itself looks creepy. Looking at the general other features and the circular nature it could ensue a completion of a ritual or circle, and the rope’d design is a bit more to show the tight-knit aspects of the group.
As an Incantation:
As an incantation, it would be traditionally recited to bring about an effect sealed within the ring. In retrospect of what I have already said, if it is an incantation it is an activation to a dark blessing. If chosen to be spoken, it should be said in three parts like the inscriptions on the ring. Presumably, the ring would also be worn when activating.
1) Virdesrile (Vir-des-real-ae)
2) Abyssus (Ab-yiss-us)
3) Reservo (Res-aer-voe)
Part 2:
1) Vinyard (Veen-Yard) lol, pretty much English
2) Acctum (ak-toom)
3) Arsenicum (Ar-sen-E-coom)
4) Reservo (Res-aer-voe)
5) Solvo (Saul-voe)
6) Caliga (Ca-lee-gah)
7) Virdesrile (Vir-des-real-ae)
Caliga (Ca-lee-gah)
9) Nix Alba (obvious)
10) Calx (obvious)
11) Inciter (Een-cite-aer)
12) Ferrum (obvious)
13) Acctum (ak-toom)
14) Aer (air)
15) Stannum (obvious)
16) Abyssus (ab-yiss-us)
Part 3:
1) Virdesrile (Vir-des-real-ae)
2) Abyssus (Ab-yiss-us)
3) Reservo (Res-aer-voe)
Please, I would advise not testing the incantation. I know I have listed it, but that is only because I went on a research rampage. In turn, I hope this helps with what you’re trying to find.
Conclusion:
In list form, here’s what we know for sure:
-It belonged to a cult, small or large.
-Man on the front is a leader or precieved diety.
-The cult is of an obvious dark nature.
-It would seem the basis of said cult is to almost not be destroyed in an apocalyptic type event to serve a greater ‘evil’ or darkness. As is , I won’t jump to assumptions as to the origin of the diety.
-The ring itself is to bind the wearer to the ‘leader’ so if by the small chance it is not enchanted, it would act only as a symbol of alligence.
-If it is enchanted it is to protect from an ‘end of days’ event as well as open the wearer to perceived ‘dark’ teachings.
This is quite common of cults, to be based around a single event or idea, rather than a coven, which would conduct only general magic, ritual, ect.
Hope this helped. Oh, and as to that ‘number’ question you had. It can have an impact, but only in the way the perceived incantation or symbolism is put together or read.
Hope this helped! If you have any questions let me know, I’ll do my best to answer!
