New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901

Color of the day: Indigo Incense of the day: Sandalwood Spring has sprung! Many of us have an urge to clean and reorganize at this time of year, and it's an urge with biological and magical roots. Spring cleaning is a great time to treat yourself to a new besom-a broom. The besom is strongly associated with witchcraft and Wicca, with Witches long thought to ride their brooms across the skies. In reality, the besom is the symbol of a hearth or kitchen Witch, who works with magic and herbs at the fireplace in her home's center. A besom may be made or acquired. For best results, choose a handmade broom of natural materials. Name your besom as you would an animal familiar, then consecrate it in a dedicated ceremony. Hold the broom over your heart and make a wish: legend says the wish will come true if you keep your besom close for the next seven days, then place it in a safe, permanent location in your home. |
