Springtide Broom Craft with Amy Lou Taylor
April 13, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm
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!
In this hands on crafting workshop, over 3 hours, you will learn the art of making a set of 4 kitchen tools (cake tester, pot scrubber, counter whisk and a root veggie scrubber) and a Triple Hand broom. You will also learn how to consecrate it, and then we will discuss the ways it can be used for house magicks with a focus on the Spring Equinox.
All supplies are included for you to craft your broom:
Broomcorn.
Cord, many colours to choose from, for winding and weaving your broom.
A satin spar (selenite) bar to add to your hand broom
Some charms, (please bring your own charms, talismans and/or crystals to add. If I can make it work for you, we will weave them in.)
You will need to bring a notebook and pen to take any additional notes while we discuss the magickal aspects of the class, however notes will be sent via email after the class to all participants.
Space is limited to 10 people, so be sure to register early to avoid any disappointment.
