Little witch and the judges

A little witch and a big broom.

A broomstick or broom is one of the accessories for a witch or wizard costume. Decorations that feature witches flying on broomsticks are also a common sight during Halloween.

In old beliefs about witchcraft, a broom could serve multiple purposes. It was said to be used as an aid to casting spells as well as being used to fly on. Witches are sometimes said to have used an ointment which made people feel as if they were magically flying in the air.
