The term "paten" comes from Middle English, from the Old French "patene", from Medieval Latin "patina", from Latin "pan", and from Greek "patane", meaning "platter".
The altar paten is placed directly on the alter, on top of an altar cloth. It is usually made of wood or metal and displays a pentacle or other protective symbol.
Objects are placed upon the paten during magickal workings. Altar Patens are useful for consecrating amulets and other tools.
I found these rings after visiting Froogle. Not only were you the best price, but you had the sizes in stock and the ability to get them to us overnight for a handfasting. PS, the handfasting went well thanks to you!
