Brass and Oak Large Athame

This large athame, perfect for traditional witchcraft, ceremonial high magick  and wicca was crafted from a single piece brass bar 14 inches in total length, of which the blade is 7 inches.

The blade has been detailed on both sides with a patterning hammer that creates little equal arm crosses. It very cool and one of Pau's favorite hammers. On the front side is The Helm Of Awe, a runic symbol using the algiz witch rune of wyrd and protection 8 times.

The handle is hand gathered and carved Michigan red Oak! King of the forest, a solar wood of strength, health, success and wealth! All good things! With the solar brass blade this is a ritual tool for making good things happen!

Paul cuts all the wood himself. He asks and blesses the tree first and assures the tree that it’s gift will be used to create beautiful heirloom ritual tools. The tree is cut with sharp tree snips to ensure the tree is not damaged and will continue to thrive. After a year or more of seasoning, Paul hand carves the handles himself and sands them to a fine furniture finish of 400 grit. The handle is then oiled with our Luna Ignis anointing oils to make the grain pop and to protect the wood.

Unique hand made heirloom quality athame by our pagan blacksmith. Paul is a practitioner of traditional witchcraft and ceremonial magick.

Brass is sacred to The Sun and so is great for spells and ritual work for success, strength, prosperity, and health.

In Ceremonial magick and some witchcraft traditions the dagger or athame represents the element of air and therefore used to control, banish, or destroy.

In some Wicca traditions the athame represents the element of fire and is perfect for a weapon of manifestation and circle casting.
