Besoms
Every witch needs a besom, and these charming natural fibre brooms bring a little old-world magic into your home, altar, or sacred space. Whether tucked beside your altar, hung near a doorway, or incorporated into a seasonal ceremony, these little brooms carry centuries of magical symbolism.
A besom is a traditional broom made from bundles of natural twigs, grasses, or plant fibres, historically used for sweeping hearths and homes. Over time, the besom became one of the most recognizable symbols of witchcraft, associated with purification, protection, household blessings, and the clearing of unwanted energies.
In magical practice, a besom is often used to symbolically sweep away stagnant or unwanted energy before a ritual, ceremony, or spell. Rather than physically sweeping the floor, the practitioner moves the besom just above the surface, directing intention toward clearing and renewing the energy of a space.
Besoms are also traditionally associated with threshold magic, marking the transition between one state of being and another. They may be placed near doorways for protection, incorporated into handfasting ceremonies, or used in seasonal celebrations to honour endings, beginnings, and the turning of the Wheel of the Year.
Island Lavender Besom: Peace, Purification & Protection
Beautifully adorned with a black ribbon and a delicate bundle of Island lavender, this natural fibre besom brings together the grounding symbolism of the broom with the gentle magic of lavender. Lavender has long been associated with tranquillity, purification, protection, restful sleep, and spiritual harmony. Its calming presence makes this besom a lovely companion for meditation spaces, bedroom altars, and peaceful household blessings. Use it symbolically to sweep away the tensions of the day, welcome a sense of calm, or bless a space with the intention of peace and protection. Measures 6.5 × 4 inches.
Pentacle Besom: Protection, Balance & Sacred Elements
Adorned with flowing black, red, and shimmering ribbons and a golden pentacle charm, this natural fibre besom honours one of the most recognizable symbols of modern witchcraft. The pentacle represents the five elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit, brought together in harmony. Encircled by the unbroken ring, it symbolizes unity, balance, protection, and the interconnectedness of all life. A beautiful addition to a witch's altar or sacred space, this besom is particularly suited to ritual cleansing, casting sacred circles, threshold blessings, and welcoming protective energy into the home. Measures 8 × 5 inches.
Cinnamon Besoms: Prosperity, Warmth & Good Fortune
Rustic and beautifully simple, these natural fibre besoms are inspired by the traditional magical associations of cinnamon. Cinnamon has long been treasured in folk magic for its connection to prosperity, abundance, success, protection, passion, and the warming energy of the element of Fire. The Cinnamon Besom is a lovely addition to abundance rituals, household blessings, and seasonal celebrations. Hang it near an entrance as a symbolic invitation for prosperity and good fortune, or use it in ritual to sweep away stagnant energy and make room for new opportunities. Measures 7 × 3 inches.
