Craft Your Own Springtide Brooms with Amy Taylor

Vernal Equinox, Springtide, Spring, Eoster, Ostara marks a turning of the season from winter to spring. It is a Pagan festival that marks the beginning of Spring and the fertility of the land, and the abundance bursting forth. Spring cleaning is a ritual deeply rooted in the lore of the Vernal Equinox, a time to purify the home of stagnant energies and prepare it for the vitalizing energy of spring and summer.

Brooms of course have been connected to the home since humans began to clean and clear their abodes. There are deities connected to them across very nearly all cultures. The making of brooms, and besoms, whisks and switches, have been ingrained into our history here on Turtle Island since the moment our ancestors stepped foot on its soil. Brooms are used in many branches of witchcraft and paganism, and in Spring Cleaning magick, they are an essential tool!
