K is for Knife - Just The Tip

Welcome  Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy podcast  for finding the magic hidden among the mundane! My name is Elaine  Evergreen, a practicing witch of over 15 years now and I'll be your host  this week.
When it comes to knives in the our magical toolboxes, they've been present and depicted since the beginning of recorded histories of magic and sorcery and knives are still a staple in many a witches tool kits. In Ancient Egypt they were used to pierce the veil between the worlds to allow power to flow through, in the Middle ages to inscribe circles and symbols, and in some modern magical practices they're used as a symbol of masculinity and are used in others to cast and close circles. Check out my latest episode on knives and witchcraft!
