An adult witch broomstick is an essential tool for any serious witch. These broomsticks are designed to meet the needs of adults who practice witchcraft and are an upgrade from the broomsticks used by novice witches. The adult witch broomstick is made from high-quality materials that are sturdy and durable, ensuring that it can withstand the rigors of flying. The handle of the broomstick is usually made from a solid wood, such as birch or oak, which provides a comfortable grip for the witch. Some broomsticks even come with intricate carvings or engravings on the handle, adding a touch of elegance to the overall design. The bristles of the broomstick are another important feature.
The bristles of the broomstick are another important feature. Unlike the broomsticks used by amateurs, the bristles of an adult witch broomstick are usually made from natural materials, such as corn husks or straw. These materials not only provide a smoother flying experience but also enhance the overall aesthetic of the broomstick.

Many of the older amulet casing can be easily opened for maintenance and/or detail viewing - looked like they have been specifically designed to permit the owner to open for inspection and/or restoration conveniently. They usually need a pin to lock the case. I have not seen a unit in this kind of setup that encases the primary in waterproof housing but I still think it is possible to do so, but I guess those who prefer this kind of formation unlikely they wanted their possession to be conceal entirely inside the plastic lamination.

| Does an old amulet needs an aged, classic case to show its original essence and true flavor as a collectible ?
No. Most people don't bother at all. I guess the word BEAUTY can just be a personal interpretation. From the perspective of a collector, classic cases do help to enhance a state of a prized collectible as they represent a difference of space/time in reflectance of the time of produce how the general public reacted to this kind of religious behavior. Probably you may add another layer in the age group preferences where all these elements can be differed from person to person (Some even "Pandang" of using old amulet without knowing how to track its historical background of previous owner. Well, you can just treat this site for pure leisure browsing. ANYWAY, these are just a mini showcase of the few cases that I owned, you can easily find these in a mid size amulet retail outlet (I guess their ever-ready stock will easily beaten me down to the floor - mine hands down), hehe . |
Shown below are two beautiful replicas of the old form (made for Pongsuphan specific image form) ; while the bottom right is the rear section of typical old, classic amulet case used during the old days where all these are made in silver than the more pricey gold metal. Unlike the more weather or corrosive resistance metal properties in the likes of gold or even the cheaper alternate steel cases; silver metal-based cases always tend to oxidize over time and you may require periodic self maintenance. But once you have clean them right, WOW.. they simply look fantastic. Depends on amulet type, silvery cases does has its own strength and metal character to bring the host standout.

Recently, when Uncle Wichien came to KL; I have shown this sparkling silvery case to him and he just signed .. ".. absolute beauty ! they don't made this anymore and all those old craftsmen were also can be regarded as top guys of Thai Buddhist art . " . I couldn't agree with him more.
- leofoo, 11.2006 -
Shown at bottom left section is an old, antique look of a Buddhist amulet case (courtesy of Mongkawan); wondering if they still produce these kind of classic amulet cases anymore.. so, during a recent trip to Bangkok, Mdm Wannee brought me to Banglumpoo area (near Bang Khun Phrom district) to find some amulet cases, in a tiny shop, I spotted a few very nicely decorative amulet cases; there are silver based case but artfully designed (or probably hand painted); I bought a few of these. When it compares to gold frame, it is so much more cheaper. As a guide (BARGAIN with them) - Wannee talked the price down to just MYR150-00 each from MYR230-00 - similar silver cases are even cheaper (MYR110-00); as at 12.2006, price of gold cases (inclusive workmanship at Bangkok is around 1,100 bahts per is almost 60% cheaper. Further, the new case requires no pin to lock. Nice isn't it ?
.
This rare and very old piece of a Jhok Khun Phun which has an abnormal size (huge, measuring at 5" length vertically) whom I gave to my China friend was asked to be gold framed, despite I keep the back opened, it still weighs 11g. cost ? MYR830-00 ! so, silver has become a wise alternative investment for now.
| As we all know, with the rich historical background in both the development and cultivation of wearable amulets for the Thai public, Thai amulets can be have hundreds of forms with different sizes, forms, shapes and even they can come in different thickness. The industry for casing manufacturing is considered to be a mature industry in Thailand. Partly, the jewelry industry has also benefited greatly from this long local tradition. Ever ready frames are made available in different varieties and grades. Thereby, services at amulets shops as well as gold smith shops always have secondary services on their to entertain customers on specific needs. Some quick minded even have amulets ready inside a gold frames as merchandise items. For the standard versions like one of those Benchaphakhi set ( Soomdej , Soomkor , Nang Phraya , Pongsuphan and Phra Rod ). |
| The top five native, original Thai creation shown above are some of the showcased items in our site and they have individual presentation in their respective casings Seemingly gold is the preferred choice of materials for the frame as other than mirroring a state of preciousness; making them also involved pre-laminating the amulet in a waterproof plastic.
| ||
| | ||
| Although MOST images under the classification of Benchaphakhi category are more of less following the standard shapes but there are variations that may come in different sizes, thickness; however, due to popularity and great demand, you can easily find a fittingly ready case in many amulets or goldsmith shops in Thailand for any of these forms. | ||
| The shown images are also considered to be quite popular (Phra Kring, Mid size Soomdej, Classic form Khun Paen, Phra Kong, LP Derm, Nak Prok, Luong Phor Ngern mini statue, a Chao Khun Ngor which shares many mid size Soomdej, Phra ROD, small rectangular shape LP Sodh's Wat Paknam, LP Parn and LP Thuad. Most of these popular images among the Thai community also may easily be available. |
| Many years ago, I heard of an old Thai monk commented amulets are "best" to be attached with the owner's body; let it feels the body warmth, sweat and the "QI" in you and so forth. But this theory may have not been practical anymore in modern days and even some of my Thai friends felt funny when was told with such an amulet wearing theory. I guess it is more of a personal interpretation rather than treating such a concept as a truly desirable solution. Well, I guess most people will and should have a personal favorite or so, how are you going to use your OWN image(s) can be a rather a subjective matter. But undeniably, NOT ALL AMULET USERS ARE COLLECTOR and it can be a very bloody costly "exercise" transformed to be a seasoned collector but consolation is, one ought to be a Buddhist before became a collector; so, the objective is still the same and the guru collectors serve to continue the tradition and double as a role for authenticate for the newer collector and/or users. However, learning from the Guru may sometimes cost a bomb for many, I would suggest adopt a cautious approach, spent on budget wisely and always do within personal financial capacity | ||||
| ME ? Personally, I accept both approach and interpretation because I wish distribution of amulets be as broad as possible as a form of lead for entry for people into Buddhism. Besides, not all people have the budget to go for gold framing or an even luxurious kind of presentation; so there is NOTHING WRONG going with a plastic or steel framed casing, right ? On whether should the rear section of an amulet be fully concealed - on this point, I would prefer it to be opened. Personally, I simply like cases that can be opened or interchange with others (if size permits them to be shared among few). The only issue you need to consider is whether the base materials of your amulet is powered, wood, metal or clay. Each reacts differently to changes to water/vapor, dust penetration, My preferred choice may not be acceptable to some but it is just a personal desire for my own collection, that is all. | ||||

Reviews for "Experience the Magic: Riding an Adult Witch Broomstick"
1. Jane Doe - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Adult Witch Broomstick. First of all, it was much smaller than I expected, barely reaching my waist. The quality also left much to be desired as the bristles started falling off after just a few uses. Additionally, the broomstick was not sturdy at all and I nearly fell off it while trying to ride it. Overall, I would not recommend this product as it did not meet my expectations in terms of size, durability, and functionality.
2. John Smith - 1 star - I bought the Adult Witch Broomstick hoping to use it as a prop for my Halloween costume, but it turned out to be a complete waste of money. The broomstick was poorly made and the bristles were thin and flimsy. It also arrived with several scratches and marks, which made it look worn out even though it was brand new. Moreover, the broomstick was not comfortable to hold and did not stay in place when I tried to lean on it. I regret purchasing this product and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a realistic and well-crafted witch broomstick.
3. Emily Johnson - 2 stars - The Adult Witch Broomstick did not live up to my expectations. While it looked decent in the product photos, in reality, it was very cheaply made. The bristles were made from a thin and weak material that easily bent and broke. The handle was also uncomfortable to hold for extended periods of time. When I tried to use it as a prop for my Halloween costume, it did not provide the realistic effect I was hoping for. Overall, I was disappointed with the quality of this product and would not purchase it again.
4. Mike Thompson - 1 star - I was extremely dissatisfied with the Adult Witch Broomstick. It felt like a cheap toy rather than an adult-sized prop. The bristles were sparse and easily fell out, leaving a mess wherever it was used. The handle was flimsy and did not stay securely in place. I would not recommend this broomstick to anyone looking for a realistic and durable prop, as it fell short in both of these aspects. Save your money and invest in a better-quality product.
