Hand-Carved Wooden Ritual Athame with Pierced Grip
A Symbol of Power, Will, and Ritual
In traditions such as Wicca and many other Neopagan paths, the athame is one of the four primary elemental tools on the altar. This ceremonial dagger, typically double-bladed with a black handle, symbolizes the element of Air (or sometimes Fire) and represents the power of will, the mind, and intention. It is used for magical acts such as:
- Casting and closing the magic circle
- Directing and channelling energy
- Symbolically cutting or separating (e.g., banishing negative influences)
- Invoking and honouring deities and spiritual forces
Crucially, an athame is never used for physical cutting or for drawing blood. It is a purely symbolic and energetic tool.
Why Choose a Wooden Athame?
While traditional athames are metal, a wooden version offers a range of benefits. Its natural, earthy feel resonates with nature-based paths, and its light weight makes it easy to handle during rituals. Most importantly, it is completely safe and ideal for use at public events, festivals, in community circles, or in places where metal blades are restricted. It is also an excellent choice for younger practitioners or for those who prefer tools without metallic elements.
Exquisite Craftsmanship
Each ritual dagger is carefully hand-carved from solid hardwood. The smoothly sanded surface showcases the natural grain of the wood, and the detailed lattice carving on the handle is not only beautiful to look at but also provides a comfortable and secure grip.

How to Care for Your Dagger?
To ensure your ritual tool serves you well for a long time, please follow a few simple guidelines:
- Protect the dagger from excessive moisture and water, as the wood could swell or warp.
- Clean it gently with a dry or very lightly dampened cloth.
- Do not expose it to prolonged direct sunlight to preserve its original colour and carving details.
- When not in use, store it in a safe, dry place, ideally wrapped in a cloth.
