BROOM RITUAL
The tools and symbols associated with witching aren’t just meaningless cultural associations. They have specific ways in which they help the witch work with transforming energy.
Our relationship with working with tools is a similar to the one we have with plant allies, in that, it can take some time to get to know how the tool wants to help us and how best to wield its power. The witch’s broom, for example, has many different representations and uses.
One way we see it manifest is quite literal — as a tool for clearing a space. This can mean both a literal space and a space in the spiritual realm.
When we call on the broom in the psychic realm, we can use it just as we would in our house — sweeping our aura to help us clean up any energetic litter that’s preventing us for accessing the wisdom within our energy in a clear way.
Try out this method of working with the broom that can help you transform stagnant energy and more easefully create what you’d like to bring forward in the world.

Ritual:
Find a space where you can sit with yourself in silence and stillness for a few moments.
Invite yourself into meditation, closing down your eyes if it feels okay for you, and turning inward.
Settle in by simply noticing your breath and allowing yourself to become present.
Take a few moments to think about all that you’ve created in this past moon cycle and all that’s still waiting to be created or transformed by you.
In your mind’s eye, start to envision yourself walking along a path in nature that’s taking you towards your next creation.
See yourself slowing moving forward along the path, and start to notice if there’s anything cluttering the ground in front of you.
Manifest a broom in this psychic realm to help you clear the way, sweeping away anything that’s tripping you up along your journey.
Continue working with this tool until you’ve reached the end of the path and you feel complete in transforming anything that came up.
After you have completed this journey, sit for a few minutes and notice how your energy has shifted.
