Brooms in folklore
Witches and brooms have quite the history. From medieval superstition and mysterious flying ointments, to the modern day household altar, kept clean by the intentful whisk of a broom.
 

A few traditional beliefs about brooms for your consideration:

Bring positive energy into your new home by sweeping something symbolic inside before removing any dirt. This ritual is believed to usher in good luck and prosperity. If you find yourself in the situation of relocating with your old broom, simply place it inside through a window to bypass any potential negative effects.

Borrowing a broom can be seen as a gesture of kindness, but to ensure good fortune, it is best to do so discreetly and return it unnoticed.

Avoid sweeping after sunset, as it is believed to disrupt the tranquillity of spirits. Additionally, sweeping after dark may inadvertently disturb cherished relationships.

In keeping with auspicious traditions, refrain from sweeping dirt out of an open door, as it is associated with unfortunate outcomes. Instead, respectfully gather the debris and carry it outside, maintaining harmony and positivity within your home.
