The Athame is a dagger used in magic. Traditionally the dagger has a double-edged steel blade and a black handle.

 

The athame symbolizes our magical will.

 

In the Craft, our will is trained to draw to us that which we name, and also to banish from us that which we name.

Be sure to consecrate your athame. A Witch's Primer gives you complete instructions on how to do that!
