Description
Witches and Broom sticks. Flying Home after a Halloween bash. The depiction of a witch riding a broomstick goes back a long way. It has become a bit of an iconic image. One answer is that a witch’s broomstick was originally a symbol of female domesticity. Back in those days, most women were responsible raising children, cooking, cleaning, & upkeep of their home. They didn’t have Hoovers but they always had their trusty broomstick close at hand. When people began claiming others were witches, brooms were often thought of as a “disguised tool of the trade” since nearly every woman had one nearby or in her possession.
