Workshop - Make your own broom of power!

Originally, brooms were made from dried plant stems tied into a bundle, sometimes attached to a wooden handle of varying length.
Across all cultures, this simple everyday tool carries powerful symbolism: sacred or cursed, ceremonial, meditative, purifying the visible and the invisible. A pendulum and a cadence, it soils itself to reveal purity. This paradox has made the broom a tool of power since the dawn of time.
Make your own!
