Description
The Luna Negra, or Dark Moon, athame is an excellent piece for your altar and your ritual. The black wood hilt is carved with a spiral pattern up the handle, lending it a nocturnal quality. The double-edged blade is wider at the guard and tapered to a sharp point in the Cinquedea style, making it perfect for directing energy without being heavy.
Popular in 15th and 16th century Italy, the Cinquedea blades are named for the "five fingers" of width towards the guard. An exceptional choice for Renn-Faires, this blade style was one of few things from the Italian Renaissance that didn't gain wide popularity in Europe. Whether calling upon the moon goddesses or celebrating some night magic, this is a powerful blade for your collection.
Features:
- Carved wood handle
- Brass toned metal guard and pommel
- Double-edged blade
- Approximately 6 inches (15 cm) blade; 10.5 inches (26.7 cm) overall
- Stand out at Renn-Faires
Please Note: No Shipment of Athame to Spain, UK, Australia, Italy, France, Greece, Chile, Brazil. Customs will remove all blades from your package.
Very nice just as I expected it to be. Heavy and well made. Fast shipping and well packaged. Very satisfied with purchase I would recommend!
I received the Luna Negra athame and it is both beautiful and well crafted. It arrived with a black leather sheath with a belt loop and snap fastener for the hilt so it's very secure. The hilt is carved with a spiral pattern running its length and has an interesting grain of very fine alternating black and white lines which gives it a gray/dark-ash appearance at distance. Both the pommel and guard/bolster are brass-toned. Very happy with the purchase!!! It also had a nice handwritten blessing on the shipping insert. Thanks B. and thanks 13 Moons. : )
Perfect weight and look that I was looking for my partner. He loves it!
It's so much more beautiful than even the pictures show. Truly magickal!
