Along with all the wonderful tools I make, I also sometimes love to be able to offer vintage items that I’ve found in second hand stores that are gorgeous, and can be up cycled or repurposed to give new life to them.
This athame is one such item – a brass stag letter opener makes a perfect athame, especially to someone who loves deer and works with Stag and deer deities.
It’s vintage, made from brass and is about 7.5 inches long
Athame’s are ritual tools, not intended to be used to cut objects with – although this blade would be able to manage some butter, cake or cheese perhaps!
The athame is in good condition – but it is vintage and has been used – the stag has a wee patch of tarnish on his nose, that you might (or not) be able to polish off).
Please read all shipping information and policies below before making your purchase. Buy committing to buy this gorgeous item, you are also committing to my shop policies (sorry they’re so long!)
1) Standard shipping to the USA, Canada and some EU countries and Australia DOES NOT include tracking since these destinations seem to have relatively secure mail systems – For these destinations once your order has been been posted we will have no way of knowing where it is until it arrives to you there is NO tracking number. International shipping times vary significantly depending on weather and time of year and adding tracking at checkout will let you know when your order will arrive – I highly recommend it, it is extra – select it from the menu at checkout – it’s there for all listings, if you forget, contact me asap.
I offer generous postal discounts for multiple purchases made in one transaction – the discount will be applied automatically at checkout by Gardening Life.
For all other international destinations – no need to add that at check-out. Your numbers will be added manually with 48 hours of the item being mailed.
In the UK, standard shipping is by Second class/tracked 48 mail unless otherwise stated, and you are able to upgrade at checkout to First or Special delivery if you choose.
Should your order go missing in the post (which happens very rarely), the loss is now covered by Gardening Life’s buyer protection program.
2: Gardening Life needs me to let you know that no guarantees can be made as to the magical properties, associations or effect of any of the work that I see- they are sold as curios only :).
3: Since 2018 all my packaging is either recycled or plastic free, and able to be recycled as paper – including the tape. If your parcel included bubble-wrap, it’s because I’ve received it from one of my suppliers and want to reuse it rather than toss it in the trash, it would be wonderful if you were also able to reuse any or all of the packing materials. Sometimes re-used envelopes are less attractive – but I feel using scruffy envelopes are better than not reusing them and hope you agree!
