The female arousal experience is one I’d love for men to experience—oh yes, guys, you are missing out. Apparently, though, we all have similar orgasms—apart from ours being longer. (A lot longer, but it’s not a competition, so I won’t go on about it. But if it were, we’d win. Just saying).
Although it could be argued and I do argue it, all the time that people still seem to have enormous difficulty with women enjoying sex as much as men.

This week I heard, for the first time, the origin of the iconic witch-on-a-broomstick image.
I have often wondered what the whole broom thing was about. I’d idly muse that it might be a phallic thing. Then I’d dismiss that, assuming that my brain was going off trying to find sex at the bottom of everything (#typicaltherapist #rollseyes).
But hurrah for the radio! I caught a snippet of an interview on Irish radio where a guy was talking about witches, broomsticks, and female masturbation. I missed most of it, but my interest was piqued, naturally, so I decided I’d try the Google machine. It didn’t take much to find a few pieces written on this topic.
Those witches—what amazing women, and what fun they had! When they weren’t being shunned, mistreated, and murdered for being, well, women.
Sex, Drugs, and Rock ‘n’ Rolling—or riding, or whatever…
From our modern viewpoint, female drug use and sexual pleasure are not quite so shocking as in the Middle Ages. Although it could be argued (and I do argue it, all the time) that people still seem to have enormous difficulty with women enjoying sex as much as men. Dare I say even more?
The female arousal experience is one I’d love for men to experience—oh yes, guys, you are missing out. Apparently, though, we all have similar orgasms—apart from ours being longer. (A lot longer, but it’s not a competition, so I won’t go on about it. But if it were, we’d win. Just saying).
In enlightened and civilised circles, female enjoyment of sexuality is now seen as liberating. But witches were “invented” at a time when a woman choosing to do what she wished with her own body or mind was so unthinkable as to be synonymous with the devil himself. This might have echoes of a more recent discussion we had here in Ireland.
Sometimes—okay, often—I shudder at how little has changed.
In the “olden days,” as we well know, women were tortured and killed because they dared to explore such personal liberties. And as we also well know, that still happens—although not here, thankfully. Not in the literal sense at least.
The Science Bit (NSFW)
“Double, double toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble” ~ Macbeth
You might be wondering, what has this has got to do with broomsticks?
Well, after listening to this radio show, I found an article entitled “ Belladonna, broomsticks and brain chemistry “ by John Mann, Professor of Organic Chemistry at Reading University. It turns out that the myth of witches riding broomsticks has originated from hallucinogenic plant pharmacology. The skeptic in me rejoiced!
And, as you’ll see below, there is a lot written on this very topic. Shakespeare, who I briefly mentioned there, knew this, and spoke of it in Romeo and Juliet as well as Macbeth, which is of course quoted rather iconically, as noted by Helen Thompson , among others.
But the indigenous knowledge predates Shakespeare.
Hallucinogenic compounds called tropane alkaloids are produced by several plants:
>> Atropa belladonna (deadly nightshade)
>> Hyoscyamus niger (henbane)
>> Mandragora officinarum (mandrake)
>> Datura stramonium (jimsonweed)
You’ll have heard of some of these and their effects. Mann’s work describes how during the Middle Ages, parts of these plants were used to make, erm…ointments…for witchcraft, sorcery, and other nefarious activities.
As Mann states, “T hey (the witches) were in a state of euphoria and disorientation, thinking (according to Porta, a friend of Galileo, writing in 1562) they were being ‘carried off to banquets, music, dancing, and coupling with young men which they desire the most.’ And then there were the ceremonies associated with the Devil.”
Somewhere in their evolution, these crafty ladies discovered that these ointments could be absorbed through the armpits or via the mucous membranes of the anus or vagina, also bypassing intestinal discomfort, which might, y’know, ruin the mood. But also, and perhaps more “modern” sounding, the vapours from these heady mixtures were sometimes inhaled—reputedly, Mann says, used in such diverse locations as the Temple of Delphi and medieval bathhouses.
And just how did they apply this ointment?
According to Mann, the earliest clue comes from the case of Lady Alice Kyteler (1324):
“In rifleing the closet of the ladie, they found a pipe of oyntment, wherewith she greased a staffe, upon which she ambled and galloped through thick and thin.”
And from the 15th century records of Jordanes de Bergamo:
“But the vulgar believe, and the witches confess, that on certain days or nights they anoint a staff and ride on it to the appointed place or anoint themselves under the arms and in other hairy places.”
Other hairy places. Isn’t that brilliant?!
And the flying? Taking off? More getting off, I suppose (sorry), in a world where there was little to enjoy about being a woman, and little or no drugs and sex ed. They got creative, and they got high!
So, there you have it. All my favourite boxes ticked—a drop of drug education, a sprinkling of sex education, and a generous garnish of female liberation all in one post. No wonder witches are smilers.
Now, hmm…does that floor need sweeping?

Reviews for "How to Make Money with the Cool Maker Magix Mixer"
1. Sarah - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the Cool Maker Magix Mixer. The machine was slow and didn't mix the colors properly. It was also quite messy to use, with the paint leaking out from the sides. I found it difficult to clean up afterwards, and it left stains on my clothes and furniture. Overall, the product did not meet my expectations and I would not recommend it.
2. John - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Cool Maker Magix Mixer, but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The machine was difficult to operate and the paint consistency wasn't consistent. Sometimes it came out too watery and other times it was too thick. Additionally, the provided colors were limited, and I found it hard to mix my desired shades. It was a frustrating experience, and I wish I had spent my money on a better product.
3. Emily - 2 stars - The Cool Maker Magix Mixer did not work well for me. The paint cartridges were difficult to insert and remove, causing a messy and frustrating experience. The colors weren't vibrant and the mixtures turned out patchy. Moreover, the machine was quite noisy and didn't blend the colors evenly. It was a waste of money and I would not buy it again.
4. Mike - 1 star - I regret purchasing the Cool Maker Magix Mixer. The paint cartridges were expensive and didn't last very long. The machine itself felt cheaply made, and the mixing mechanism often got stuck. The paints also had a strong chemical smell, which was unpleasant and made me worry about the safety of using it. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
