A witch's broom, also known as a flying broomstick, is a popular symbol often associated with witchcraft and magic. While witches may not actually fly on broomsticks in reality, these brooms have become an iconic and stereotypical representation in various forms of media. The concept of witches using broomsticks to fly can be traced back to ancient times, where broomsticks were seen as a powerful symbol of fertility and magic. In medieval Europe, it was believed that witches would rub a concoction made from hallucinogenic herbs on their bodies and then ride on broomsticks to attend witchcraft gatherings or Sabbaths. The term "witch's broom" may be used to refer to a regular broom that is utilized by witches, but it can also specifically describe a broomstick that is enchanted or imbued with magical properties. These magical brooms are believed to allow witches to fly through the air and reach incredible speeds.

Shane Purcell, MD
Dr. Purcell is board certified family physician working in Anderson, SC. He received his medical degree from Mercer University in Macon, GA and completed family medicine residency at AnMed Health in Anderson, SC. After completing his residency, Dr. Purcell worked in a private group practice for 3 years before opening his own cash-only primary care clinic in 2005. As he built his cash-only clinic, he was also working part-time in a local urgent care facility. In 2008, he purchased a dormant medical clinic on the “wrong side of the tracks” and opened an urgent care and primary care clinic. After gaining his freedom from third-party captives, Dr. Purcell and a colleague formed the first direct primary care clinic in Anderson County in 2015. In 2019, he transitioned to full-time direct primary care and sold his urgent care. The direct primary care model has brought about a restoration of a relationship with patients broken by third-party middlemen. Now, he can offer more access and more of his time to patients. Dr. Purcell firmly believes that the direct primary care model is the last hope for health care in America. Dr. Purcell is an active member of several medical organizations including the DPC Alliance, Free Market Medical Association, and American Academy of Family Physicians. He is the former Chair of the Direct Primary Care Member Interest Group for the AAFP and a founding member of the DPC Alliance and the Carolina’s Free Market Medical Association. He was elected to the Advisory Committee for the DPC Alliance in the Fall of 2018 and completed his term in 2021. Dr. Purcell is the author of Magic, Pixie Dust, and Miracles: A Guide to Direct Primary Care and Employers which shares how to connect DPC with employers of all sizes. He has spoken about this topic and DPC in general at the DPC Summit, DPC Nuts and Bolts conference, Hint Summit, AAFP FMX, Carolina’s Free Market Medical Association, TedexFurman, and DPC Alliance Mastermind sessions. He continues to speak to residents and student groups about DPC as well.

Reviews for "The role of brooms in witchcraft and spellcasting"
1. Sarah - ★☆☆☆☆
I was really disappointed with "What is a witches broom called". The writing style was not engaging at all, and the story seemed to lack any depth or substance. The characters were dull and one-dimensional, and I couldn't connect with any of them. Additionally, the pacing was inconsistent, with long stretches of boredom followed by rushed and confusing plot developments. Overall, I found the book to be a waste of time and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a compelling read.
2. John - ★★☆☆☆
"What is a witches broom called" had an interesting premise, but unfortunately, the execution fell flat for me. The writing was mediocre, with choppy sentences and awkward dialogue. I also found the plot to be predictable and lacking in originality. The main character, who is supposed to be a strong and independent witch, came across as weak and indecisive. As a result, I couldn't fully invest in the story or care about what happened to her. While the book had a couple of enjoyable moments, overall, it failed to live up to my expectations.
3. Emily - ★★☆☆☆
I was excited to read "What is a witches broom called" after hearing all the buzz about it, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The writing was mediocre, with cliched descriptions and repetitive phrases. The story lacked depth and seemed to rely heavily on tired tropes and predictable plot twists. The characters, especially the villain, were poorly developed and lacked motivation. I also found the dialogue to be stilted and unrealistic, making it hard for me to connect with the story. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and wouldn't recommend it to others.
