Besom / Witch's Broom - Folklore / Symbolism
Since Ancient Times, the Witch's Broom or Besom has been symbolic of
Fertility & Cleansing. They are used to sweep the circle (or any area)
free of unwanted energies, so that the desired energy can fill the space.
The long-standing tradition of "jumping the broom" at weddings
and handfastings was done to ensure the couple's fertility.
The Pentacle - Symbolism
The Pentacle or Pentagram is a 5 pointed star that
is often, but not always, encircled with the circle of Unity. It represents
the domination of Spirit or Divine Will over base matter, and the elements
of Spirit, Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. The pentacle has been a symbol of
protection and spiritual growth for millennia. At its points are the stages
of Life: birth, initiation, consummation, repose, and death, with the circle
bringing us back to birth in the cycle of reincarnation.
