Olde Witch Lore, the Witch's Besom, can be used to cleanse and purify sacred space. The besom is a humble, common item found in every household, and it was thought that witches concealed their wands among the bristles of their brooms and could fly on their besoms to their gatherings. It was believed that Witch's Flying Oil was rubbed on the broom's handle that either making it levitate or making the witch hallucinate to give the sensation of flying when mounting the besom.
