Besoms & Binding

Witches’ Besoms & Brooms Workshop —
Havant, Hampshire

Craft your own ritual broom — a sacred tool for cleansing, protection, and power — in this seasonal immersive workshop aligned with the Wheel of the Year.

A Ritual Workshop for the Modern Witch

A soul-sister collaboration: guided by Tania Meacher, Ancestral Alchemist,
in collaboration with Jo Edney of Kintala Healing.

Step into a sacred space of creativity and connection as you craft your own witch’s broom (besom) — a timeless symbol of cleansing, protection, and personal power.
This isn’t just a craft session. It’s a rewilding — a return to the ways of our foremothers who gathered, bound, and blessed their tools with reverence for the land.

Forage, Craft & Connect

What you'll experience:

Gathering with Intention

We meet at 9:30 am at the Coach House, a moment to settle in, fill your cup with tea or coffee, and connect with the women sharing this circle. From here, we’ll lead you to our outdoor classroom for a 10:00 am start, nestled among trees, warmed by a gentle fire, and sheltered beneath a canopy that holds us close to nature while protecting us from the elements. We begin with a grounding meditation and oracle card pull, anchoring your focus and setting your intention for the day. This is where your broom’s story begins, rooted in clarity, guided by intuition, and whispered into being through breath and purpose.

Foraging for Your Broom

With your intention anchored, we’ll journey into the nearby woodland to forage for the natural materials that will become your broom. You’ll gather your brush and handle with care, guided by your intuition and the quiet wisdom of the land. This is a mindful, sensory experience, walking among trees and hedgerows, letting the plants call to you, inviting in the elemental magic that wishes to weave through your creation. Here, connection deepens, to the earth beneath your feet and the ancestral rhythm of hand, heart, and harvest.

Sacred Spring Water Blessing

Our journey continues to a nearby spring — a place of cleansing and renewal. You’ll have the opportunity to collect sacred water to bless your broom and infuse it with the energy of flow and purification. Please bring a jar or bottle to gather this water. Any that remains can be taken home for your own meditations, rituals, or spell-work, a continuing connection to the magic of this day.

Crafting Your Broom

Returning to the outdoor classroom, you’ll weave and bind your broom using your foraged materials and traditional methods. This tactile, meditative process becomes a conversation between your hands and the elements, each twist and knot a quiet act of creation. You’ll learn step-by-step how to assemble your broom’s framework before adorning it with herbs, ribbons, feathers, and charms that align with your energy and intention. This is a sacred act of craft and remembrance, reawakening the old ways, when women worked with the land to shape tools of both beauty and protection.

Protection Sigil Creation

Next, you’ll be guided through the creation of a personal protection sigil, a simple yet potent symbol born from your intention. Rooted in folk magic and ancestral tradition, your sigil will be inscribed, tied, or woven into your broom to seal its purpose. This moment marks your broom’s transformation from an object into a living, magical tool, infused with your energy, your story, and the spirit of the land that offered itself to you.

Blessing & Activation Ritual

We close our time together with a broom-blessing and movement ritual, a witch’s dance that awakens your broom’s spirit through embodied flow. Beneath the canopy of trees, surrounded by firelight and sisterhood, you’ll bring your broom to life, breathing your intention into motion. Each sweep, each gesture, becomes a spell of remembrance, honouring the wild within and the wisdom that guides your path home.
