Besoms have a charm that vacuums cant match. Tradition and aesthetics matter too. I think you missed the point besoms are for energy clearing, not hairballs and dust bunnies.

Respecting tradition and craftsmanship isnt a waste. Different tools serve different purposes.

🙂 Great question, similar to Luna’s question on this article. 🙂 You can have more than one besom, and besoms dedicated for or “specialize” for certain activities. And, you can have one all-purpose besom. My bigger besom with the black broom straw (Esbata) is an all-purpose besom. The curly one, Abigail, can do all of that too, but she pulls in joy and laughter. Cinnamon can do all of that, but has more energy of spirituality, success, healing, psychic power and love in addition to protection. 🙂 So, it’s really up to you, Any besom can be used for all the purposes listed in my article, just remember some woods “specialize” in certain things and it’s ok to have one or several to suit your personal practice. Blessings!

Hello again Luna, great question as usual 🙂 Priorities – well first consider all that a besom can do, primarily energy clearing, guarding or warding, but then astral travel, spirit communication divination, while any besom can be used in a handfasting ritual. The first thing I would consider is energy clearing and protection first. And a witch can obviously have more than one besom too. 🙂 I do. I would suggest reading my article about making a witch wand, because there’s a great list of different woods and their properties. Blessings!
