This decorative besom is a palm-sized hand broom tied from natural broom grass (Thysanolaena latifolia), adorned with a goddess symbol and amethyst. The handcrafted binding and natural materials give it a warm, rustic character, making it a lovely accent for a shelf, a wall or a home altar.
The broom in folklore
Few objects are tied to as much folklore as the broom. From medieval superstition to the modern household altar, the broom has remained a symbol of clearing away and fresh beginnings: the symbolic sweep evokes closing the old and inviting in fresh energy. This is folklore and tradition rather than a proven effect.
The goddess symbol and the stone
The Goddess symbol is the ancient image of a figure with open arms: an emblem of creative, protective and nurturing nature in many traditions. Amethyst is known in tradition as a stone of calm and clarity.
Material and make
The besom is made from natural broom grass with a textile binding and its decorative elements, measuring around 20 centimetres. As it is made of natural materials, each piece varies a little in shape and shade.
Where it belongs
A decorative piece hung on a wall, set on a shelf or placed in a quiet corner. A lovely, symbolic gift for anyone who enjoys folklore and natural, earthy objects.
