What is the history of the broom in witchcraft?

Many legends are associated with the question of the reasons why witches ride broomsticks. Back in time, the so-called witches used poisonous plants, such as black henbane which is rich in powerful alkaloids to cause hallucinations in people from their society. These plants can also be very dangerous and have deadly side effects, but that’s what witches found amusing and intriguing in these deadly plants. Historical researchers have confirmed that the apparent witches used different herbs to do ‘magic’. And not surprisingly, the plants with psychoactive properties in their potions were their favorite.

These potions were also known as “flying ointments”. Witches applied these ointments to their nether regions. Can you think of a better applicator than a wooden staff? Neither did witches. According to one of the legends, Lady Alice Kyteler who’s remembered as Ireland’s first witch killed her husband back in 1324 and was condemned to death for using sorcery in the murder. But she eventually escaped in her own magical way, and her maid was sacrificed at the stake in her name.

The real question that remains unanswered is – can witches fly on brooms? Unfortunately, the latest research shows that the background of these legends is rather medical than magical. The plants the witches used to craft their potions caused hallucinations, so they started believing that the brooms help them fly over the sky. I forgot to mention that in Lay Alice Kyteler’s closet, a pipe of ointment was found. She greased a staff, upon which she ambled and galloped.

You might wonder why witches fly. Well, sorry to disappoint but so far, only birds can enjoy flying without the need of an airplane like humans do. Witches gained their ‘flying power’ by the tropane alkaloid hallucinogens that have caused sleep but also dreams involving wild rides on brooms and “frenzied dancing”. The broom is also related to the intense sex desire of witches.
