It was used to brew herbs, animals and substances in order to combine it properly. They
were frequently made of wood, but other materials; such as stone were employed as well.

 
It has been widely discussed why our stereotype of witches is them flying on a broom at
night. The most common answer dates back to the Dark Ages when peasants would use
brooms to fertilize the crops. They would then ride on top of them as horses; and since
most of them were women, the image stayed and was transmitted by images, cartoons, etc.

A witch per se would supposedly use a broom in order to 'fly' - but the most common
reason why she would use it is to employ it within her spells somehow. This is still unknown
as there is a lack of scrolls to support this.


Of course dolls were a very important part of a witch's arsenal as they could use them for
many dark purposes. They were employed with the victim's hair or other human part in
order for the doll to work effectively. The witch could then torture the doll and what
happened to the doll would happen to the victim. This was a very common practice, but of
course, there is no evidence to support this - other than the casual coincidence.

  
Of course witch balls are very famous today - but why were they made? They were made
for witches to predict the future and reveal hidden answers for a person's life. Their use was
mostly in good faith - but sometimes they were employed for evil practices.

Witch balls were usually seven inches in diameter and very heavy because of the material
they were made of. Before they could be used, they had to be touched by the full moon's
light for one night - or it wouldn't work. When not in use, a witch ball had to be kept in a
dark box because if the sun light touched it somehow, it would be rendered useless. be kept
