Celtic Besom Broom 21" Black & Green | Clearing & Threshold Protection

A besom is the witch's broom, and it has one job that matters more than any other: it moves energy out. This one runs about 21 inches long with a black stick handle, black and green bristles, and a Celtic knot charm strung with green aventurine and black onyx beads. Aventurine leans toward luck and growth, onyx toward grounding and protection, so the pairing suits a home that wants to feel both open and guarded.

Use it the old way. Sweep the floor of a room with the bristles just above the boards, working from the back of the house toward the front door, and put your intention into the motion. That is a cleansing. Then hang it bristles up beside the door or lay it across the threshold, and that is a ward. Many people keep a besom on the altar to sweep the working space clear before ritual, and a quick pass over the altar between workings does more than you would think.

Green and black together also make this a natural fit for Samhain and the darker half of the year, when clearing and protecting go hand in hand. Styles and bead placement vary a little from broom to broom since these are hand tied.
