Witches hats and broomsticks.

We touched on pointy witches hats very briefly in the Halloween 'Black Cats & Pumpkins' episode in 2021, and it got me thinking about where this imagery comes from...\n\nI also had a lovely listener get in touch asking us to go into the meaning behind the witches broom - otherwise known as a Besom. So I thought I would put together an episode to look into the history and meaning behind the things that are perceived as 'witchy' - and most importantly why?!\n\nSo grab a cup of witch's brew & join us for a wee history lesson, in this ep we chat about the main symbols associated with the word 'Witch', the witches hat, pointy shoes, cape, broomstick & cauldrons.\n\nOur Divine Tool of the Week : The Besom!\nWe delve into some ways to use one, and also traditional folklore & superstitions...\n\nSupport Turns Out Network Here\n\nDo you have a witchy question to ask?\nGet in touch, we would love to hear from you!\ntospsychic@gmail.com\nFollow us on Instagram\n@turnsout_shesawitch\nPresented by Shannon Cotterill & Laura Turner.\nProduction & music by Matt & Laura Turner.\n\nVisit Shannon & Asha Moon \nwww.ashamoon.squarespace.com\nwww.shannon-cotterill.squarespace.com
