So, what's a handfasting? Just like a marriage, a handfasting is a commitment between two people. The term has been used as far back as the Middle Ages, where it could be used to mean either an engagement or a wedding. In modern times, people often use "handfasting" to refer to a wedding ceremony with pagan or traditional customs, such as using a ribbon to bind the hands of the couple to "tie the knot", or jumping the broom together. Can I wear this ring even if I'm not pagan? Well... yes. But be aware it may lead to some awkward questions from your church-going friends. Most people see the runes as astrological symbols, if they don't know what they are looking at. But the pentacles are harder to explain.
