Top Ten Reasons Why Athames Are Black 

10. So they'll go with any color robe.

9. So you can cover up nicks and scratches with shoe polish.

8. It's slimming (can't have fat Athames can we???)

7. It doesn't show dirt.

6. Because finding a dropped Athame in an outdoor ritual in the dark is a test of loyalty to your faith.

5. It's so much more dignified than chartreuse.

4. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

3. Someone spilled all the paints together and that's what ended up as the result.

2. No! No! Black is for winter ritual - use white before Labor Day!!!

1.So that we'd have something to argue about other than how "athame" is pronounced!!!
