Broom Folklores
I have compiled a list of some old broom folklores in history. The one in the picture is an example of one but here are some other examples such as:
•Brooms are a symbol of good luck around the world. They sweep away bad fortune and protect against evil.
•Lay a broom across your threshold on New Year’s Day to keep evil spirits at bay for the rest of the year.
•If a bride and groom jump over a broom together while holding hands, their marriage will be blessed with good fortune.
•For good luck, always buy a new broom when you move into a new house.
•It is bad luck to rest a broom on its bristles.
•It is good luck to rest a broom on its handle.
•To make sure your meal is good, lay a broom under your dining room table while cooking.
•A broom laid under your bed sweeps away all bad dreams.
•If a visitor is overstaying his welcome, stand a broom up behind the door of the room in which he’s being entertained. He will soon grow uncomfortable and leave.
•To bring rain within three days, dip a broom into a bucket of water into which a dried fern has been crumbled and then hold the broom aloft, shaking the water out to simulate rainfall.
•The phrase “flying off the handle” comes from broom lore. When a woman would get frustrated trying to chase her children out of the kitchen so she could finish with the cooking, a swat from the broom was a last resort, sending the straw flying off the handle and across the room.
•The phrase “living over the brush” refers to a common-law relationship, and dates back to Europe in the 19th century when a couple would jump the broom to signify marriage if they could not afford a wedding.
• A new broom brings good luck and harmony to a home. A broom, salt, and bread completes a traditional housewarming gift:
Bread – That this house may never know hunger.
Salt – That life may always have flavor.
Broom – To sweep away troubles.
