BROOM MAKING PLAYSHOP

Are you ready to have some fun?

Make a playdate with a friend or family member. Space limited to 6 people per class. NOTE: Children under the age of 17 years of age will need an adult to make their broom. This playshop tends to SELL OUT early.

The cost of the class includes:

  • Instruction Class

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 Besoms were originally made from birch twigs that were tied together.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.

Hanging Your Broom

Hanging your broom bristles up:

Hanging a broom with bristles up is a powerful way to keep negative energy at bay.

  • Draws positive energy: The bristles are position to catch or gather positive energy within the home, preventing it from escaping.

  • Protection from guests: Some traditions hold that a broom with bristles up near the entrance will signal that it is time for guests to leave.

  • Long lasting: Storing your broom with bristles up will prevent the bristles from bending and getting damaged.

Hanging your broom bristles down:

This orientation is used to actively cleanse and sweep out negative energy from a space.

  • Sweeps away negativity: The broom continues to sweep away negative energy from the home or space.

  • Welcomes guests: This is a way to welcome guests into your home or space.

Hanging your broom across the top of your door:

This will provide continued protection for the space and maintain positive flow of energy. It will prevent gossip, curses and malicious influences in your life.

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.

"It was amazing energy, fun, & provided a positive space for our group. It was a great time with friends creating and having fun."
