A broom is also used for ritual cleansing of a house to sweep away negative energy.
Actually, that makes a lot of sense. I pick up things from people's breath and body smell; for instance, their current state of health. Talking of weird, once I was at a gathering at a friends house, and woman new to the group visited the bathroom. I went in after her, and the smell was awful; not just regular awful, but what I was picking up was a smell of serious illness. A few months later, she died from cancer.I don't know if it is related, but I have a similar quirk. Though mine is related to a person's breath. Some people, though not all, cause me to hold my breath as we pass on the street. I usually identify them a ways off. So it's really not based on anything visual, but rather an internal sense, almost like I can tell that they are exuding some form of negative energy. My fear is that unless I hold my breath, that I will somehow breath in that negativity. I know it's weird.
Yes, that is true! I have also heard of hanging a small broom on the inside of the front door of the home, with the bristles facing up, but have never tried it.A broom is also used for ritual cleansing of a house to sweep away negative energy.

I’m sharing this with my daughter today. Thanks Debi.
