All our besoms are handcrafted by Psychic Revelation's Talisman. The besoms are not "bought in and sold on" as is the usual case with many so-called "handcrafted" items available elsewhere. In this day and age of mass-production finding high-quality traditionally handcrafted items is almost impossible.
To make one of these besoms the branch itself for the shaft is selected from one of our own trees (we are fortunate enough to have thousands to choose from) and only branches that have been offered (nothing is cut from the tree) are taken. The branch is cut to length, all stubs removed and the bark is stripped. It is then allowed to dry.
Once dry it undergoes a creation ritual. The branch is stripped using traditional tools and then sanded with three different grades of sandpaper. Any magickal symbols are then burnt in place with a hand iron and the wood stain applied. Once dry the first of five coats of protective finish are applied. In between each coat the surface has to be scrubbed with a fine steel wool.
Finally the besom is ritually blessed. The final consecration (instructions supplied) should only be done by the owner. The whole process takes two weeks of work! As each besom is unique the picture shown is for illustration purposes only but is indicative of the actual besom you will receive. |
