"Love is connected directly from the heart to the left ring finger through the veins."

Since ancient times, the people of Greece believed that the left ring finger was connected to the heart.

(There is also a theory from Egyptian tradition.)

 

Also, Greek doctors used their left ring finger when mixing medicines.

This was because when they touched poison, the heart would react sensitively and quickly recognize it.

 

Furthermore, the ring finger is also known as the anonymous finger.

This term is used in countries like England and even in China.

This originates from ancient magical beliefs that names have power over individuals, and thus, people would refrain from disclosing their names to others.

It's fascinating how even the name of the ring finger was thought to be controlled.

 

The left ring finger truly holds a mystique.

 

Interestingly, in Europe, it was believed that each finger held significance beyond just the left ring finger where the marriage ring is worn.

 

From the left hand:

  • Thumb: Belief, determination to change reality
  • Index finger: Positivity
  • Middle finger: Gentleness, relationships
  • Ring finger: Love
  • Little finger: Trust

For the right hand:

  • Thumb: Action
  • Index finger: Mental strength
  • Middle finger: Protection from bad vibe
  • Ring finger: Focus
  • Little finger: Amulet

It might be wonderful to customize rings tailored to the meaning of each finger.
