The Flying* Besom Collection

Of all the silhouettes born from the broom maker’s bench, none is more universally recognized—or steeped in deeper, more enchanting myth—than that of the flying besom. Here within the most storied ledgers of Broom Corners, we pay homage to the legendary sweepers of folklore. This collection is dedicated to the wild, aerodynamic, and wonderfully crooked heirlooms that look as though they might take to the night sky at a moment’s notice.

To craft a flying besom is to let the untamed aesthetics of the old-world woods guide the artisan’s hands. Our master broom squires intentionally seek out the most expressive, naturally curved stangs—knotted branches of ancient hawthorn, twisted willow, or lightning-struck oak. To these dramatic handles, they bind wild, trailing skirts of raw birch, wild heather, or sweeping, uncut broomcorn. Secured with heavy, rhythmic wraps of tarred twine or oxidized copper, the resulting profile is one of thrilling tension and forward momentum.

While our guild cannot promise these sweepers will lift you above the village treetops, they carry the undeniable, grounding magic of human imagination. For the historical reenactor, cosplayer, or theatrical performer, these besoms serve as breathtakingly authentic, historically grounded props. For the spiritual practitioner, they physically represent the ancient lore of “hedge-riding” and astral travel. And for the collector of rustic fantasy aesthetics, they are the ultimate statement piece to hang proudly above the mantle or rest securely beside the hearth.

Take a moment to wander through the legendary wares of our independent makers below. Admire the sweeping, wild silhouettes, trace the natural curves of the crooked wood, and claim a beautiful piece of living myth for your own collection.
