athame
As you were, I was


They are only made by Wiccans, no one else can make those. Call it is a ritualistic knife.

Also, drop all the emoticons it makes your post hard to read and gives off a really immature feeling and makes me think you're no older then 13 or 14.

And my point is, regardless if you made it or not, an Athame is a Wiccan tool and only that. So unless you're Wiccan (and can prove it), it's called a ritualistic knife.

Know yourself. That seems like a good thing to start with.

What Sang said, and know what you're doing before you try anything. I'd mature a little more if I were you before seriously considering it, since, depending on the type of magic you're trying to work, you need to have a lot of focus and understanding of the effects and consequences.

And an athame doesn't become an athame until you do the proper ritual, which only Wiccans know. It's not in any public book. Don't feel bad for not knowing, I just recently found that out myself. It's a ritual knife, I call mine Charlie

As the others have said Athame is strictly a Wicca name for a ceremonial knife created via a ritual known only to initiates.
I have two knifes I work with one is a large jack knife the other is a dagger (sometimes called my Precious or Bob but everything in my house is called Bob at one time or another).
As for things to begin with...Meditation is a great exercise for those starting out. It is always wise to give careful thought to spells before you cast. If you don't really have a specific need or situation there is no point to cast. Its a waste of energy to cast a just for the sake of casting.
If you are practicing an eclectic neo pagan path I would suggest you start with full moon/solstice/equinox/harvest rituals. These give you good basics for spell work and their focus is on the cycles of nature.

I was kidding about mine having a name, although it is a replica of the king's sword from LOTR. At least that's what the flea market guy told me, I just got it because it had the dual edges.
