An Atheme is a blunt dagger used in ritual magic, it is used to focus and channel
energy to or from the body depending on whether it is used to summon or banish. Its
use is ceremonial, and is commonly believed that the handle is either wooden and /
or black.However this is not a hard and fast rule, but it is important that the Atheme is
balancedwell proportioned and in tune with its user.

Yew Handled Dagger
Boline
Bowlines are part of every Witches Kitchen they are used
to harvest herbs, it is therefore important that the blade be kept
sharpe so as to make a clean cut. Do not forget to ask permission
before taking from a plant, and a word or gesture of thanks after ( a
little food or drink is always a good way ) common consensus
dictates that the handles are either wooden and / or White although
again this is not a hard and fast rule.
