A carved sorcerer's face sits at the hilt. The detail is meant to recall the knowledge required to wield the blade with purpose rather than harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a working knife, this pendant depicts a tool that is rarely sharpened. Practitioners use the athame to direct energy and mark ritual boundaries.

It is most often linked to fire or air depending on tradition. In ritual, the athame directs energy while the chalice receives it, together marking the union of opposing forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePairing With Other Ritual Tool Pieces\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pendant pairs naturally with the pentacle or Four Sacred Things piece from the same pewter line.
