Witch's Broom
|
|
by Ernest Thompson SetonTwo strong chairs are set face to face and far enough apart so that an ordinary house broom reaches from one to the other, the head resting on one, and about 4 inches of the stick on the other. Four handkerchiefs are now hung, one on each top corner of the chair backs. The Witch is armed with a stout wand, exactly 30 inches long. She sits on the broom handle, not on the head, but body and both feet supported on the stick. She balances by holding one end of her wand on the ground. Without falling, she must flick away in turn each of the hankies. If she sets foot or hand on a chair, or touches the ground with her foot or hand, it counts as a fall. She may use whichever hand she chooses, but must change the wand from hand to hand while balanced. Some of our Witches are so expert that they use six hankies, the extra two being hung on the middle of each chair back. Some do this blindfolded. See Also:How to Make a Wizard's/Witch's Broom |
