The Witch's Domain

Placement of a witch's mezuzot (athame and boline) would be like the nun m’zuneret and the nun hafucha as one might see them looking toward a transparent door from the inside. Bamidbar 10:35-36

י"ז בסיון תשס"ז

In past posts, I've described the parallel function shared between a Judaic mezuzah and a witch's athame (black-handled ritual knife). Without going into the details, in my dream last night it was actually my witch's boline (white-handled ritual knife) which functioned like a mezuzah.

In contrast to the athame which spiritually hangs just like a mezuzah as one enters a door on the upper right side, the boline hung in my dream on the inside, as one might exit a door on the lower right side (opposite and upside down from an athame-mezuzah on the same door like might be seen if the door was transparent).

An athame is not used for physical cutting, but for directing energy. A boline is more utilitarian, and is used for cutting and carving.

Thus, an athame is the tool a witch uses to redirect away unwanted energy before it enters into her domain.

Once an energy is allowed inside, honestly or through being deceived, the boline cuts and carves it into an acceptable form. Consequently, even should an uncalled but accepted energy make its way inside by deception, a true witch is not unprotected. The boline is available for use should she need to cut and carve the energy to fit a proper purpose. Once inside a witch's domain, the energy no longer has a life of it's own. It has the life the witch gives it.
