Brooms have long been connected with witchcraft, almost universally portrayed as medieval-style round brooms and associated with female witches. Despite the association with women, in 1453, the first known case of claiming to have flown on a broomstick is recorded, confessed by the male witch Guillaume Edelin.There are, however, prior records of witches flying on sticks or similar objects, usually that had been first greased with a magical flying ointment.
do we believe them or not?
