Its function involves sweeping away negative energies before rituals and magical workings, creating a purified environment conducive to spiritual practices.

This historical context adds a layer of mystique and tradition that appeals to those practicing modern witchcraft and related spiritual paths.

In contemporary Wicca, the Besom is utilized in various rituals, including handfasting ceremonies where couples symbolically jump over it.
