Brooms have a long history and are often connected with witchcraft and also believed to be having some association with witches.

Witchcraft and brooms have been often also found in movies, television shows as well as cartoons.

Even though brooms are most of the time associated with females, a male witch named Edeline in 1453 made a claim of having used broomstick to fly in air. Not only this but even history shows some records of people claiming of having seen witches flying using brooms and such objects.

It is also believed that witches used brooms so that they can hide their magic wands from others in the form of broomsticks.

In many witchcraft guides and magic guides there are some rituals where brooms are included and these rituals are called besom.

In witchcraft brooms are looked upon as a tool to be used to clean the negative energies and call upon spirits.

Traditions and culture:

  • In old times during the slavery period in United States, African Americans were not allowed to marry in church and their weddings involved the use of brooms where, brooms were kept at the door of the house and they step on the broom to start their new life. This custom was known as “jumping the broom”.
  • In Bible, broom has been noted as a sign of the work of women.
