BROOM - (Cytisus scoparius)
Purification · Protection · Boundaries · Sweeping Away Negativity
Broom is a powerful herb long associated with cleansing, banishing, and boundary work. In folklore and witchcraft, the broom (or besom) is a sacred tool of the witch—used to sweep away stagnant energy, cleanse ritual space, and symbolically drive out unwanted spirits. The plant itself carries those same properties, making it an ideal botanical ally for magical purification and protection.
Magickal Uses:
- Ritual Cleansing: Burn broom or include in incense blends to purify your space before spellwork
- Banishing & Boundaries: Use in sachets or spell jars to remove toxic ties, energy vampires, or intrusive forces
- Protection: Hang broom above doorways or in corners to keep negative energies at bay
- Warding Off Malice: Sprinkle in thresholds, windowsills, or across property lines for spiritual shielding
- New Beginnings: Use broom in rites of transition, such as after breakups, moves, or major life shifts
Energetic Healing:
Broom clears away the debris of old wounds, energetic clutter, and psychic noise. Its energy is brisk and forthright—ideal for those seeking to reset, reclaim their power, and step into fresh space unburdened.
How to Use:
- Burn dried broom (with caution) during clearing rituals or alongside herbs like rosemary and mugwort
- Add to protection pouches or charm bags for warding off curses or ill intent
- Create your own mini besom with broom twigs and use to “sweep” energy from altars or sacred spaces
- Use in uncrossing spells or energetic cord-cutting rituals
- Pair with Black Tourmaline or Obsidian for deep space clearing and protection
Broom reminds us that cleansing is a sacred act—one that makes room for light, clarity, and empowered beginnings. Use it with reverence, and your energy will always stay bright.
