Broom invitation
By:
Post # 1
I think my wife inherently practices some magical rites. When she hung a small broom next to the door, I read up on it and learned turning it right side up works to keep spiritual creatures out of the home. Now, however, I feel like it just made them curious and I may have made a mistake by taking the broom down. Am I just being too afraid?

There are many, and varied, stories about brooms.It would seem that a broom is capable of all sorts of magic. It isn't! It is merely a symbol.
In days of old, every household would have a broom, to clean the house! The shaft was usually cut from a straight branch; and the "bristles" made from twigs of the bush Broom.
Eventually, the Broom became the symbol of a good housewife; a symbol of "the home".
A young bride would be given a present of a "new broom" made by her new husband.
It didn't take very long before a Broom became a symbol of what we now call "marriage"; hand fasting! When the couple would hold hands and leap over the fire, and then "jump over the broomstick".
These days, most witches will use a broom to "clean" an area where they are going to practice.
Does a broom keep spirits away? Some think it does. So why not hang one by the door? It cannot do any harm!

Thank you for the reassurance. In any case, this is all probably indicative of my fear of the spiritual. Where can I start to be at peace with that which is more powerful than me?

Fear invites negativity
Rage invites negativity
Love invites positivity


In other words, put out good feelings and good feelings will come to to you. That just how I see it, and it works for me.
