The Spiritual Significance of the Besom
The besom, or ritual broom, is one of the oldest tools in witchcraft, used to clear a space of stagnant or unwanted energy before ritual rather than to sweep up dust. The peacock feather, with its many eyes, has long carried associations of watchfulness, protection, and beauty, while amethyst is reached for in crystal tradition for calm and intuition. Together they make a broom that is both a working cleansing tool and a beautiful piece for the altar.
Step by step
How To Use an Altar Besom
- Hold the broom with a clear intention to clear and refresh the space.
- Sweep it just above your altar or through the air of a room, moving the energy outward or toward a door.
- Some practitioners sweep in a clockwise motion to draw in fresh energy as they clear the old.
- Finish with a grounding breath, and open a window if you like to let it out.
- Rest the broom on your altar or hang it to keep it close for the next cleansing.
