The knife of athame is a ritual poignard that is used by Wiccans and Neo the Pagan ones in the rites and the charms as an extension of their body.

The athame in Wicca traditionally is a male director, or a male symbol representing the breeding organ of the God to horns that soaked the Gia of Goddess to put to the world the Earth and the nature.

The knife of athame traditionally is or darkens checked or in drinks checked, with the blade done steel.

Wood often is used in a blade of athame because of the this is the representation of Nature and the Earth. A tree or was sacrificed or already dead, and wood was recycled in the athame for that it could be continued to give life and the energies again, almost as a symbolic renaissance.

The this is not exactly clear as for why the black handful became a traditional one, although a lot of texts and historic refrences indicate return to the King Salomon that was said to use a knife of black handful in its rites and its charms. This black one checked the blade became then a symbol and a clasp to the athame since Salomon was revered as one of the bigger sorcerers never to have lived in the true life tradition folk.

Although the handful blade decide you to use or to choose for your athame, the always is better to use steel for the blade. Iron is not considered a good metal for an athame because traditionally this metal is soft and weak when put under the heat and will melt. Since the fire is a such strong symbolic element in Wicca and the Paganisme, a lot of rites call it and often the times, the athame needs to be dived in a fire and has with holds the heat. For this stainless steel of reason or the steel is usually the better equipment for the blade than himself to be used.



The knives of Athame are not meant to be used as a weapon in Wicca. These sacred tools are meant for the rites and the charms, never only student as a weapon even for oneself the defense. Athames is an extension of you and is almost to be used as a carpenter does his hammer or his saw.

The this is very common in the tradition of Wicca for an athame for "to find" the is the owner.

Some people insist that they placed their athames in a storage can the night and when they awaken the blade rested besides them on their beds or their position in the evening to right next to them.

If an athame was given you as a gift should cherish you this blade and are sure to give your thanks to the individual that it gave to you. Athames that was in someone possions and used considerably for the rites and the charms takes not only energies of their past owner that are kept in the blade, but they keep the energies that they were used for (as the protection, love, the charms of prosperity and the rites etc.)

If your athame is all nine and then was never used the this is "sleeping" or basically it has nevertheless to be given life. The more you use it, the more you place your energies and will do in this ritual tool, the more and more of this blade will take a life of his clean one. You HAVE the respect your athame for so done not do you and you employ it unsuitably, a lot of as a dog that so was mistreated time that it slams, the athame will cut you.

The blade will become suddenly a vessel for these dark forces and they will begin to the leech of your energies as a vampire and will have the inverse effect the rites and write use you the athame in.



A lot of as a rifle, the this is not the rifle that is devilish or wants to do the evil, the is the individual that it handles. The even can be said to the ritual tool that you use, especially your blade of athame.

To prevent this, guarantee treats you your blade with the respect and dignity.
