Hand crafted witches athame.

Description

Crafted from oak, this Athame is created in the traditional dagger or sword style, the handle is bound with a contrasting brown cord which (in my humble opinion) adds to the beauty of this piece and sit's very comfortably in the hand. This is a long athame measuring (approx) 370cm in length. It has been finished with a hardwearing fingerprint and water resistant microcrystalline wax which gives it a beautiful lustre and enhances the grain pattern of the Oak. NB: My book of shadows, the runes & purple velvet pouch seen in the photos are NOT included in the sale. Oak - Gender Association - Masculine Date Association: - June 10 - July 7 Planetary Ruler - Jupiter Animal Association - Wren Elemental Association - Earth, Water, Spirit Ruling Deity - Dagda Magical Properties - Truth, steadfast knowledge, protection Oak: also known as *Wizard Wood*, it is perhaps the strongest of the woods. The ancient Celtic people worshipped the oak as the benevolent king of the trees who provided shelter in the form of building materials, their protector by providing material for weapons, and nourishment through its edible acorns. Oak is connected very strongly to the Earth and can easily channel natural life energies as well as help sense where healing might be needed. The energy of the Oak is very balanced, deviating neither toward the light or the darkness. Oak draws from the element of fire, as well as lightning and seeks a powerful companion, a guardian and liberator.
