Today I took a trip to a spiritual store and invested in an athame. The one I currently have was owned by someone before me so I needed one without someone elses energies flowing through it.
I intend to clean it and sand the handle down. Perhaps paint the handle? I haven't decided yet. What I do want to know, however, is how to cleanse and charge a ceremonial item like this, and what time period would be a good time to do so?
Cheers
