Crescent Moon Boline With Birch Handle

This is the most popular of Paul’s three different boline designs. It’s called the “Crescent Moon boline” as the blade looks like a new moon floating on the handle. Highly polish and patterned with Paul’s signature finishes.

This boline, perfect for traditional witchcraft, ceremonial high magick, Druidry, kitchen witchcraft, herbalism and wicca was forged from iron. Tempered twice for two hours for maximum hardness, these are sharp! That said cutting plants will dull the keenest blade and it is recommended to resharpen the blade with a kitchen knife sharpener after use.

11.5 inches in total length, of which the blade is 5.5 inches high and 5 inches wide.

The blade has been detailed with Paul's most popular "ripples on water" finish.

Paul cuts all the wood himself. He asks and blesses the tree first and assures the tree that it’s gift will be used to create beautiful heirloom ritual tools. The tree is cut with sharp tree snips to ensure the tree is not damaged and will continue to thrive. After a year or more of seasoning, Paul hand carves the handles himself and sands them to a fine furniture finish of 400 grit. The handle is then oiled with our Luna Ignis anointing oils to make the grain pop and to protect the wood.

Unique hand forged heirloom quality boline by our pagan blacksmith. Paul is a practitioner of traditional witchcraft and ceremonial magick.

Iron is sacred to Mars.

Similar to the small hand sickle that druids used, these bolines are perfect for cutting healing herbs. The crescent moon shape suggests a link to the goddess and healing magick.

The Tubal Cain mythos also has iron as a tool of our will and apostasy, Yahweh after the expulsion from Eden told Adam and Eve they would have to scrabble among the thorns for their food... But Tubal Cain, 7th son of Cain had other ideas and discovered the working of iron and became the first blacksmith. To the Tubal Cain currents of witchcraft iron is therefore a tool of our will.

In Traditional English cottage witchcraft the Fae Folk are scared of iron and therefore iron tools can be used to protect against or control the Fae.

Each of Paul's bolines are unique. There is no plan beforehand, the boline is allowed to manifest as it wills, Paul just helps it along.
