Witches broom purpose and symbolism The witches broom has long held a place of intrigue and mystery in folklore and mythology. Often associated with witches and their magickal abilities, the broom has served various purposes throughout history. In terms of practicality, the broom was traditionally used for sweeping and cleaning. Its design, with bristles made of natural materials such as straw or twigs, allowed for efficient removal of dust and debris. This practical purpose of the broom is still relevant today, though modern brooms are typically made of synthetic materials for increased durability. However, the symbolism of the witches broom goes beyond its practical function.

DescriptionBe sure to check out our Broccoli Growing Guide for more tips & tricks on successfully growing broccoli at home.
Green Magic Broccoli is a hybrid variety that is especially heat-tolerant. It performs well in early spring through late spring, and can be planted earlier in fall than traditional varieties. The exceptional heat-tolerance ensures the broccoli heads are slow to bolt and go to seed, ensuring great texture and flavor on harvested crowns. Seeds are fast to germinate and compact plants mature at about 2' tall. In addition to the heat tolerance, Green Magic Broccoli is known for its smooth and uniform heads. Plants produce consistently-sized heads for the first harvest, and will continue to produce side shoots for a second and third harvest. Green Magic heads have a buttery texture and great flavor.
Broccoli may be direct-seeded, but it performs best when transplanted. Transplanting allows for more consistent plant spacing, and prevents broccoli seedlings from competing with weeds in the early stages of the plant. We recommend starting transplants 3-4 weeks before the desired outdoor planting date. Broccoli transplants grow great in our heavy-duty seed starting trays, where they develop a solid root ball with roots that are trained to grow downward. Plants are ready to go in the ground when they can be easily pulled from the cells in the seed starting tray.
Broccoli crowns should be harvested when they are dark green, before any flowers or seeds develop on the crowns. As temperatures warm in the spring, broccoli crowns will mature faster and should be monitored. Although broccoli leaves are frost-tolerant, broccoli heads are not. If frost is imminent while crowns are developing, be sure to use some form of row cover to protect the crowns from frost.

In the context of witchcraft and pagan traditions, the broom takes on a more mythical role. It is often associated with flight, as witches were said to use their brooms to travel through the night sky. This imagery represents the freedom and independence sought by witches, who were often marginalized or persecuted in society. Furthermore, the broom is also seen as a tool for ritual and spellwork. Its phallic shape represents fertility and creation, while its bristles can be seen as symbolic of the element of air. Witches may use the broom to energetically clear a space, create a sacred circle, or direct energy during spellcasting. Overall, the witches broom holds both practical and symbolic significance. It serves as a reminder of the power of the domestic and the importance of cleanliness, while also representing the freedom and magickal abilities of witches. Today, the broom continues to be a powerful symbol in witchcraft and paganism, connecting practitioners to their ancestral traditions and the mysteries of the natural world..
