The besom has swept witches' thresholds for centuries, and almost none of that sweeping had anything to do with dirt.A broom kept by the door was never only a household tool. It cleared what collected in a room when nobody was looking, the stale and the stuck and whatever followed somebody home. It stood guard across a threshold. It was laid down for couples to jump at a wedding and stood upside down in a corner when company had overstayed.
Every household had one, and everybody knew it was doing more than one job.
Come decorate a miniature broom for your altar and your autumn workings.
