Luna Ignis Crystal Sphere Athame with Tiger Eye And vine twist Handle

This athame, perfect for traditional witchcraft, ceremonial high magick  and wicca was forged from a single piece of iron bar. 14 inches in total length, of which the blade is 5.5 inches.

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

Iron is sacred to Mars.

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.

The high quality crystal sphere in the pommel of course adds balance so the athame is pleasing to wield, the type and nature of  the crystal also lends its energy to the spell.

The Tubal Cain mythos also has iron as a tool of our will and apostasy, Yahweh after the expulsion from Eden told Adam and Eve they would have to scrabble among the thorns for their food... But Tubal Cain, 7th son of Cain had other ideas and discovered the working of iron and became the first blacksmith. To the Tubal Cain currents of witchcraft iron is therefore a tool of our will.

In Traditional English cottage witchcraft the Fae Folk are scared of iron and therefore iron tools can be used to protect against or control the Fae.

Each of Paul's athames are unique. There is no plan beforehand, the athame is allowed to manifest as it wills, Paul just helps it along. The twists in the handle and the contrast between the light shiny detailed areas talk to thew movement of energy and the dual nature of magick – the light and the dark.
