Mabon Crafting with Intention: Besom Workshop

Celebrate the season of Mabon with a hands-on workshop at Celtic Mist, where you’ll create a beautiful, full-size besom to take home.

Led by Kat, this three-hour workshop will explore the history and folklore surrounding the besom, its place in modern Pagan practice, and its symbolic uses for cleansing, protection, and preparing sacred space.

You’ll then learn how to construct your own besom using a hardwood handle and natural and coloured broomcorn. A selection of botanicals, ribbons, bells, charms, and crystals will be available so you can personalize your creation and give it special meaning. Participants are also welcome to bring a small meaningful item from home—such as a charm, ribbon, or dried botanical—to incorporate into their besom.

The workshop will conclude by exploring ways to cleanse, bless, and dedicate your finished besom to the intention or purpose you have chosen for it.
