Besom
A besom is a tool used in Wicca to cleanse and purify a space which will be used for ritual. A traditional Wiccan besom is a hawthorn stave handle with bristles made from birch twigs. These twigs are tied on using thin pieces of willow wood.

The besom is a symbol of banishing, fertility, and cleansing. Its earlier use was specifically for Western European fertility rites. These Western European rites are the reason why people think witches ride on their brooms. The rites go like this, they straddle their besoms and then jump real high and around crops to encourage them to grow high and abundantly.

For modern witches, some uses are recorded as banishing negative energies, protection against nightmares, protection from bad energy and spells, channeling energy, and opening communication with the departed.
