The Truth About Witches on Broomsticks

Tweet

You have probably seen pictures of witches flying across the sky on their broomsticks. But do you know the truth behind this? It seems that witches make what is called a flying ointment out of belladonna, Henbane and Mandrake. It is made into a thick paste. The only way to apply it to the mucus membrane (the membrane lining body cavities) they found was to apply some to a broomstick and then straddle it. The result was a psychedelic experience that was very intense. There would be sensations of levitation, flying and even traveling to other realms. Not to be tried at home.
