Do I need an athame?

Do I need an athame, because I don't have one or know where to get one.

from what I read it says you don't need one. I think you can use something else like a butter knife as a stand in. I think a cheap athame in the shop on this site.

Ok thanks, I didn't think I really needed one because I already have a wand

I use a stainless steel kitchen knife as my athame. Handle and all are one piece.. Remember, athame are not required to be sharp. And like a wand, they are generally used to direct energy and for miscellaneous things like drawing a circle in the sand.

Ok thanks

It depends what you shall use it . Maybe When you are drawing down the moon. Or ritual . I Dont know why people on this website saying its not for draw down the moon or rituals . Yes it is!
