The Spiritual Significance

The broom, or besom, is one of the oldest cleansing tools in witchcraft, used less for literal dust than for sweeping a space clear of stale or unwanted energy before a working. The witch's broom on this candle names that idea, and sage, the herb scenting it, is the great cleansing plant of folk practice, burned across traditions to purify a person, a space, and the tools of the craft. Together they make this the cleansing flame of the line, the candle reached for first to clear the air and settle a space that feels heavy, opening the way for whatever devotional or protective work follows. Cleansing is the groundwork of most practice, the step that comes before a circle is cast or an intention set, since a clear space holds a working better. It is a consecrated devotional object, and its work belongs to the altar.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Place the jar on a heat-safe surface on your altar and name what you are clearing from the space.
2. Light it first. Light it before other devotional work, letting the sage flame sweep the space clear, and let it burn as long as you can sit with it.
3. Snuff between sittings. Snuff rather than blow the flame out when you leave the room; a lit jar candle should never burn unattended.
4. Burn it safely. Keep it clear of anything flammable and where it cannot be knocked, and let the glass cool before moving it.
