Flying Broomsticks

Hello, I am new to magic and I was wondering if it possible to enchant a broomstick so it will fly? I've read a few articles on it, but none seem to help. Thanks!

No it is not possible. It is a fiction that has continued to plague us for years.

If you are new to magic, learn about what it really is, how it works, what it can do and what it cannot do.

This post was written by Lark, it is exceptionally useful for those who are serious. I reposted it for you.

If you're serious about learning how to do magic and with starting from the rock-bottom then you don't start out by casting spells, you start out by learning how and why magic works.

You see, there is no such thing as an "easy" spell or a "beginner" spell. One either understands how magic works and has mastered the basics...in which case the magic will work..or you haven't done that sort of work..and no spell will work no matter how "easy" it seems.

Casting a successful spell involves much more than finding some spell on the internet or in a book, saying some words, lighting a candle, waving a wand of any of that sort of thing. In order for magic to work you need to understand how and why it works in the first place. Grounding and centering, visualization, focus and intent, energy manipulation, etc are all necessary first steps to even begin to have a chance at a spell actually working...and more importantly to prevent a spell from back-firing on you.

So, my advice for anyone who is truly serious is to start by reading a few books and practicing the exercises those books will give you. Once you have mastered the basics you won't need anyone to give you spells, you'll be able to create your own spells that will be far more effective than anything you find on the net. Here's the books I suggest:

"Before You Cast a Spell" by Carl McColman

"Spells and How They Work" by Janet and Stewart Farrar

"The Veil's Edge" by Willow Polson

"Modern Magick" by Donald Michael Kraig

And the following links in this thread will also help you learn the basic skills necessary for effective spellwork.

No. Broomsticks will not fly but many Witches keep one. If I'm not mistaken I think it brings good luck to a Witches home, but they do not fly. People have always plagued us for years about this but it isn't possible, though they can be blessed and used in some rituals :)

I think I heard that you could use them to "sweep" out stale energy too :)

Yes they are said to bring luck to the witches home just like owning a cat. They can be used to clean energy while cleaning the home. They sweep out as it was said stale energy, and negative energy. To be replaced with new positive energy.

I think this could have been answered with the magical power of one's own common sense.
