Broomstick

A broomstick is a cylindrical piece of wood or similar material traditionally used as the handle of a broom to sweep floors. In folklore and popular culture, it is famously associated with witches as a means of transportation, often depicted as a magical flying apparatus. Technically, a broomstick can refer to any long, straight stick or pole, but its cultural significance largely stems from its representation in stories and mythology involving witchcraft and magic.
