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 happiness and fertility.

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.
