The Besom holds significant meaning within Wiccan, witchcraft, and pagan traditions. It is widely recognized as a powerful magical tool primarily used for cleansing and protecting spaces. Its function involves sweeping away negative energies before rituals and magical workings, creating a purified environment conducive to spiritual practices.

Historically, the Besom has been associated with witches and witchcraft, a connection that dates back centuries and is possibly rooted in ancient pagan fertility rituals involving leaping and dancing on poles or brooms to encourage crop growth. 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.
