The axe (Commonwealth spelling) or ax (American spelling) is an ancient and ubiquitous tool that has been used for millennia to shape, split and cut wood, harvesttimber, as a weapon and a ceremonial or heraldic symbol.
In folklore, stoneaxes were sometimes believed to be thunderbolts and were used to guard buildings against lightning, as it is said (mythically) that lightning never hits the same place twice (now known to not be true).
A thrown axe could keep off a hailstorm, sometimes an axe was placed in the crops, with the cutting edge to the skies to protect the harvest against bad weather.
