In this case, the ring, as the Zodiac or the Ouroboros of the Gnostics, is divided in two parts: one active (evolution) and one passive (involution).

To obtain a ring is like opening a door to set a ring on one’s own finger is to protect oneself and to place it on somebody else’s finger is to accept a gift from someone else. On the esoteric plane, the ring is associated with the girdle, which guards places and protects secrets. It is Heaven, as circle, in opposition to Earth, as square. Buddhists see the ring as the symbol of the indefinite heaven, of a closed circle by contrast with the spiral.

In Greece, Zeus authorizes Herakles to free Prometheus on condition that Prometheus wears an iron ring on his finger in which a chip of rock from the Caucasus is set, as a reminder of his submission to Zeus. The ring is the symbol of the power of great men and gives legal authority when adorned with the seal that grants it.
The hole is the receptacle for the energy that makes the wheel of destiny turn. The hole in the middle of the ring channels the celestial influence, the breath of God that seals the pact.
The ring is above all the symbol of a bond, an alliance or a vow.
