This Boline is 14 inches in total length, 6 inches across the crescent blade. The 6 inch handle is hand carved Willow! The Goddess Tree!
Willow is one of the most sacred trees in WIcca and Witchcraft! Sacred to all Luna Goddesses, willow is a water loving tree also known as the tree of life and death. The white wood of willow is a great choice for traditions that prefer a boline with a white wood handle.
The blade is iron and hand forged by our resident pagan blacksmith and ceremonial magician! The handle was also hand carved. Iron is sacred to Mars and perfect for intentional acts of will. The crescent moon shape represents the goddess. Perfect for cottage witchcraft and kitchen witches! Also, a traditional tool of the Druid and Druidy. The spine has been decorated with small craters for Luna energy and the famous Neolithic Labyrinth on both sides.
We gather our own wood. Cutting the tree carefully with sharp tree snips to ensure it survives. The tree is blessed and thanked and assured that its gift will be crafted into an heirloom quality witchcraft ritual tool that will live on. The wood is carefully seasoned before carving. Wood is a natural product and can include splits, inclusions, bolls and other imperfections. Carving is by hand with small hand power tools used for final sanding down to a super fine 400 grit furniture quality finish. The handle is then oiled with our propriety witchcraft anointing oils to protect the handle and make the woods grain pop!
