This Boline is 15 inches in total length, 6 inches across the crescent blade. The 7 inch handle is hand carved Michigan White Oak.
Oak is the "King Of The Forest" and along with Holly and Ash are the most sacred woods to The Sun. The Sun is perfect for works of success, health and prosperity. So you cant go wrong with Oak! And Michigan white oak is drop dead gorgeous.
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 of the blade is detailed with small craters for Luna energy, it also has a "spiral of life" design on both sides, Neolithic rock carvings all over Europe have spirals and concentric circles which many believe represented the journey of life to death.
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!
