Long before flight ever entered the legend, the besom served a simple purpose. It swept ritual space clean before spellwork began.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pendant pairs two tools of clearing and balance. The pentacle's five points stand for earth, water, fire, air, and spirit.

They sometimes sweep clockwise afterward to seal the work. In everyday folk life, sweeping the threshold of a home carried the same idea. It marked a boundary between cultivated space and the wild world outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFolklore and the Witch's Broom\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted besoms appear in folk practice across many old European cultures.
