Athames & Bolines

One of the four tools of witchcraft, the ritual knife is known as an athame (pronounced 'ah-thah-may').  The athame usually represents the element of fire and is used to cast the circle and call the quarters.  While not generally used for cutting, it is permissable to use the athame to cut cake at a handfasting.  Another type of ritual knife is a boline (or boleen), which is a rounded knife historically used to harvest herbs and plants for magickal purposes.  Some traditions use a boline in place of an athame in rituals.

In classic tradition, the athame had a black handle and the boline a white handle, but today you can usually use whatever styles and colors strike your fancy.  The most important thing is that it feels right to you, since it is the athame you like and are comfortable with that will work best in your own magick.  We offer athames and bolines in a variety of sizes, prices and designs to meet your needs.

Due to state laws, we are unable to sell athames & bolines to customers in Massachusetts.  By purchasing an athame from this site, you verify that you are 18 years or older.
