Collection: Athames

The athame is the witch's ritual blade — traditionally a double-edged knife used not to cut anything physical but to direct intention, cast and close the circle, and stand in for the element of air or fire depending on your tradition. It's one of the core tools of Wicca and modern witchcraft, and few altar objects are as personal. This is a deep collection of more than fifty, from arrowhead and soapstone blades to Scottish, Celtic, and medieval styles, Damascus steel, and acrylic athames for those who prefer a non-metal tool. Handles run from carved wood to stag and ornate metalwork, so you can choose one that feels right in the hand. At Plentiful Earth we gather athames across styles and budgets, because the right blade is the one that suits your practice.

Our athame guide covers what the blade is for, how it differs from a boline, and how to consecrate a new one.
