Athame and Celtic Wreath Pentacle Pendant
- Material: 100% Sterling silver
- More than 3/4 inch diameter (20 mm)
- Item number: wh454
Although it resembles a knife, the athame is used only as a tool, intended to channel and direct psychic energy as part of Wiccan ceremonies and rituals. Its primary use is to draw the boundary line of the magic circle, the sacred and protected space in which rituals and spells are performed.
Athames can be single-edged but are usually double-edged, as this one is. It's in the traditional orientation – pointed upwards – and is superimposed on an open pentagram, the five points of which are interwoven into a wreath of Celtic knots.
This is a nicely layered pendant with a strong composition and contrasting textures. The cut-out technique gives it a very open look which contrasts well with the wide solid blade.
We wanted to give our customers a way of personalizing their pendants, but many of the pieces in our store are textured on the backside, have an uneven surface, or a design on all sides, making it impossible to engrave them.
Our solution to this problem was to offer engravable charms that you can add onto any necklace. They are small, about 1/2" wide (12 mm) and come with free engraving on the front side (backside engraving is available for an additional charge).
We currently only have these in two shapes (a heart or circle), but will be adding more as time goes on. The charms are also engraved in-house and custom fit with findings to match your pendant.
You can choose engravable charm options right on the product page of any pendant. Below are a few photographs of charms we've made for customers in the past, along with their pendants.
