To: All of us who need the power of the witch.
While doing my morning rituals, I noticed I had more than one broom, I actually had several, maybe I could even say "I have a collection". they range from the Home Depot model to the beautiful handcrafted models. Each broom is unique and serves me the task at hand.
There are a precious few that I thought might enjoy this useful information...
A ritual of sweeping will put everything back in place. AF
If a broomstick was rubbed with such potions and used for riding or masturbatory purposes, a sensation of flight would result.
the witch could 'sweep her tracks from the sky.'
festival nights such as Walpurgisnacht, townspeople laid out hooks and scythes to kill any witches who fell off their brooms. The also rang church bells, which had the power to ground broomsticks and knock witches off them.
A famous Scottish witch of the 17th century, Isobel Gowdie, claimed to have used her broom for an atypical reason. Instead of using it for traveling, she used it to deceive her husband. Before going to a sabbat, Isobel substituted her broom for herself in bed. She said he never knew the difference, which might have been more of a comment on their marriage than a confession of witchcraft).
In some lore, the Devil dispensed brooms and flying ointment to weak witches who needed help.
