The broom was never just for sweeping.
There is a lineage here that stretches back before memory. Before the broom was reduced to unpaid labor, before it became a symbol of domestic drudgery, it was something else entirely.
🧹It was a sacred artifact.
🧹 It was health care.
🧹It was home defense.
There is an Aztec goddess who carries a shield in one hand and a broom in the other. She is not alone. Across the world, in traditions and temples, in story and symbol, the broom appears in the hands of the divine feminine—not as a tool of servitude, but as an instrument of power.
Every witch has always known what the patriarchal world tried to make us forget: that our tools were never mundane. The broom is not merely for sweeping floors. It is for casting circles, directing energy, abolishing contracts, and traveling through the Dreamtime.
It is not just a broom.
It is your staff. Your wand. Your bludgeon.
The broom has been a sacred artifact, a symbol of protection, a tool of the divine feminine and, yes, a vehicle for flying witches.
My ebook, The Magic of Your Broom, explores the folklore, mythology and household magic tangled up in this seemingly ordinary object.
Inside, you’ll discover:
The strange history of witches and flying broomsticks
Deities from around the world associated with brooms
The broom as a tool of protection, cleansing and ceremony
Ways to work with your own broom beyond simply sweeping the floor
For the curious, the witchy and anyone beginning to suspect the broom in their closet might be capable of rather more than collecting dust.

A COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE FOR THE MOST MAGICAL SEASON
How do we make our lives a ceremony?
Magic doesn’t only live on an altar. It doesn’t have to wait for the right moon phase, a formal ritual or an afternoon when nobody needs anything from you.
It can be as simple as the way you sweep the floor. The scents from the pot simmering on the stove. The food you leave out in gratitude for those who came before you.
It can be the care and attention you give to your home and everything living (and perhaps not) within it.
Practically Magic is a month of bringing more ritual, gratitude and magic into ordinary domestic life.
No coven required, and you don’t have to be pagan. You don’t even have to believe in God.
Just bring some curiosity and a willingness to approach the things you already do a little differently.
What’s included
For $47, you’ll receive:
✨ The Magic of Your Broom ebook, exploring the folklore, history and household magic of one of our most ordinary tools.
✨ A recorded broom-making and intention-setting ceremony, where you’ll make your own ritual broom and decide what you want to sweep out… and what you’d like to invite in.
✨ Access to the Practically Magic community throughout October, where we can share what we’re trying, noticing and making.
✨ One practical domestic ritual or teaching from me each week, using things you probably already have at home. These rituals are yours to keep.
We might sweep out old energy and invite in abundance, or make an immune-supporting simmer pot. I like to use this season to create a spirit plate and prioritize working with the home as the season changes.
Nothing wildly complicated.
Because the magic is already happening
The kettle boils and the floor gets dirty again. We feed people, clear space, open doors and start over.
None of it is particularly glamorous, but it is the stuff a life is made of.
Practically Magic is an invitation to pay a little more attention to those moments, and make ceremony from the life already happening around you.
It’s about finding magic in the practical.
Practically Magic begins October 1. Join at any time through October 31.
