THE BROOM (BESOM)
Since Samhain recently passed (referring to Samhain, 1997), you can purchase a nice, cheap, round one at a costume shop. I bought one at a craft store today to place outside for Samhain, but the one I use is homemade. You need a long, fallen, tree branch and either raffia packing material, or really thin branches. I poured a purification brew (water with thyme, sage, rosemary and salt) over the branch before I started; then I spread some purification oil or herbs on it. Attach the small branches to one end with glue and craft string. You can decorate it with symbols, runes, string, or leave it plain.
