The Besom

The besom, also known as the witch's broom is the tool I describe here. Shown in numerous pictures and movies it's a tool most associated with witches. But we don't fly on them, even though it would be nice because....well...gas prices are ridiculous. Brooms have numerous uses, associations and ways to put one together. This is just my quick take on this wonderful tool.

I had a cow horn from my dad when I was younger. But my mom got sick of me making so much noise with it so she gave it away.
