Metaphysically it is used to purify an area (room) or to assist an individual in releasing negativity. It is said to assist those that carry nervous energy.

Spiritually, Copper is the metal of the body.

BESOMS (WITCHES BROOM)

In light of the approach of Hallowe’en, we thought we would create a Witches Broom pendant.  This pendant was created in Stainless Steel.

 

We think a little history on Witches brooms is warranted.

 

Besoms or Witches Brooms have been associated with wiccan and pagan rituals since the middle ages. The word "besom" is derived from the Old English "besma," which means broom.

 

According to History.com, Anthologist, Robin Skelton, suggests the association between witches and brooms may have roots in a pagan fertility ritual, in which rural farmers would leap and dance astride poles, pitchforks or brooms in the light of the full moon to encourage the growth of their crops.

 

Ritually today, the Besom or Witches Broom is used to purify or cleanse a space.
