Word from the witches - Vikkie talks brooms & protection

BROOMS, BESOMS & HOME PROTECTION 🧹

In this episode, Vikkie, The Wheelie Green Witch, sweeps us into the fascinating history and magic of the witch’s broom.

But the broom has always been far more than a way for witches to fly in stories.

From traditional besoms and old household folklore to cleansing rituals and protecting the threshold, Vikkie explores how this everyday tool became such a powerful symbol of witchcraft.

We talk about:

🧹 The history and folklore of the witch’s broom
🌿 The difference between a broom and a traditional besom
🕯 Using sweeping as an energetic cleansing practice
🚪 Protecting doors, thresholds and the home
✨ How the direction and position of a broom can carry meaning
🏠 Simple home-protection practices you can try for yourself

If you love practical magic, household folklore and discovering the witchcraft hidden within ordinary objects, this episode is for you.

And we want to know: do you keep a broom or besom in your home, and is it decorative, practical or magical?
