BESOM (witches broom) |
|
|
|
The besom is the witches' broomstick which is used in fertily rites and sweeping energies from a circle or house. It is also a phallic symbol as the wand is. Many believed that a besom placed at a fireplace with prevent evil from entering a home.
Lay a besom in front of your door for protection or have it leaning up against the door.
I have a straw besom that is short (about a forearms length) that I decorated with a hotglue gun and herbs. I also use it to sweep up ashes used in spellcasting.
Go to this crafts page and see how to make a besom. |
