Needing A Mentor

Merry Meet, Sisters and Brothers of the Craft, I am a technically a solitary Pagan witch from Northwest Ohio, though I do practice with a sister witch and am raising my daughters in the Old Ways. I am currently looking for a mentor who can help to teach me how to craft spells and which materials would be best to help me craft my ritual tools. I hope to hear from someone soon. Blessed Be!See More

Athames

The athame is a ritual tool used for charging other items, casting cicrles and concecrating an area. I know that usually an athame is a black handled, double edged dagger. Is there any other type of knife that can be used as an athame?
