The Witch's Broom, or Besom, is made of an ash handle & bristles of birch twigs, sometimes w/ flowers tied on w/ colored string or ribbon. The Besom Broom is a symbol of balance of the divine forces. It is both masculine energies (the phallic handle) & female energies (the bristles). Because of this, the broom was & still is commonly used in Handfasting rituals (marriage ceremonies). It is also used as a gate or door before a ritual space. A witch would draw a magical circle, enter it, then place the broom over the doorway to keep out unwanted energies or people. Clearing an area for ritual work was the earliest use for a broom, it became an important tool for Witch's during The Burning Times of Europe. During this era Witches would use a broom to hide one of their most important tools, the wand. The broom often had secret compartments. Brooms were used as receptacles to harbor a particular spirit temporarily. This could be done to remove an unwanted spirit from one area & release it far away in another place. Or it could be used to utilize the energy of a spirit for a specific spell when the broom was used as a wand. The early association of broom to tree also associates it with the element of air & therefore has power over spirits. A female witch was often depicted on a broom silhouetted by the full moon behind her. Magical flying ointments were applied to the broom to give it flight. The brush end of a broom was pointed downwards so the witch could sweep her tracks from the sky. If the brush end was pointed up with a candle in it, it was to light her way.
