Athames

An athame is a ceremonial knife which is usually used for ritual and magickal purposes only, to direct energy. Usually, the athame has a double edged blade and short handle although the blade can also be curved, wavy, or a variety of other specifications. Many traditions associate the athame with the masculine principle and with the element of air, although some traditions associate it with fire.
