History of the Besoms

Besoms, the witches broom, has been traditionally used for cleansing and protecting the home. They have a long history for being part of rituals and ceremonies. The word “besom” is derived from the Old English “besma.” Besoms were originally made from birch twigs that were tied together. These natural materials were chosen based on their durability.

In ancient times, these brooms were used for cleansing the home space and protecting against evil spirits. They would use the brooms to sweep away negative energies in the space. The brooms would be blessed in rituals to purify and consecrate the sacred space.

Anointing

Anoint Your Broom: You can anoint the broom corn with cleansing and protection essential oils:

Courage: ginger, lemon, & orange
Healing: jasmine, lavender, & peppermint
Love: jasmine, lavender, & rose
Peace: chamomile, geranium, & lavender
Prosperity: bergamot, cinnamon, and peppermint
Protection: lemon, Palo Santo, rosemary, & sage
Spirituality: frankincense

Blessing

You can bless them with fresh herbs for cleansing and protection (Cinnamon, Lemon, Mugwort, Rosemary, Sea Salt, etc.)

It was believed that they held magical powers of divination and communication with spirits. They are used in weddings with the groom and bride jumping over the broom as a symbol of commitment.

You should never use your magical broom for housecleaning. It can energetically move the energy in the space. Move them in a clockwise direction.

The phrase “flying off the handle” comes from broom lore. When a woman would get frustrated trying to chase her children out of the kitchen so she could finish with the cooking, a swat from the broom was a last resort, sending the straw flying off the handle and across the room.

Your Intention

When you make your own, it has your energies and intentions. It can be a great addition to any home or workplace.
