b"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"
