Brooms & Besoms

Brooms, often referred to as besoms, are one of the oldest and
most recognizable tools used in ritual and spiritual practice.
Traditionally associated with cleansing, preparation, and
boundary-setting, besoms serve as symbolic tools for clearing space
and marking transitions before ritual work begins.

In spiritual traditions, besoms are not used for physical sweeping
in the everyday sense. Instead, they are commonly used to
symbolically cleanse a space before setting up an altar, beginning a
ritual, or entering sacred work. This act helps create a clear mental
and energetic boundary between the ordinary and the intentional,
allowing practitioners to focus fully on their practice.

Our Brooms & Besoms collection features handcrafted and
decorative ritual brooms designed specifically for altar use,
ceremonial preparation, and sacred spaces. These besoms are sized and
styled for ritual environments, making them ideal for symbolic
cleansing, altar decoration, or hanging near an altar or doorway as a
representation of protection and preparation.

Besoms are often used at the start of rituals to “sweep away”
stagnant or unwanted influences in a symbolic way, preparing the area
for focused intention. They may also be incorporated into seasonal
practices, new beginnings, or moments of transition, such as moving
into a new space or refreshing an existing altar setup.

Beyond their functional symbolism, ritual brooms are also
meaningful altar pieces. Many practitioners keep a besom visible as a
reminder of clarity, mindfulness, and the importance of intentional
preparation. Whether displayed on a wall, placed beside an altar, or
used during ritual setup, besoms add depth and tradition to a sacred
space.

The brooms in this collection are selected to be versatile and
approachable. They can be used across a wide range of spiritual paths
and personal practices, from structured rituals to intuitive altar
work. Whether your practice is rooted in tradition or guided by
personal symbolism, a besom can serve as a grounding and purposeful
tool.

As with all altar tools, how you work with a broom is deeply
personal. This collection offers foundational pieces meant to support
your practice, allowing you to incorporate ritual brooms in ways that
feel authentic and aligned with your spiritual routine.
