A while ago, the lady who works at the nursery next doors suddenly started talking to me. We were both swiping in front of our doors. The conversation was about nothing in particular, but I do feel that the broom opened up that conversation, it pushed me behind a curtain, to another side, which in turn led to the following text. Feel free to elaborate, criticize or refine my intuition... I am here to learn and expand my knowledge.
"Swiping the floorboards is something that happens in the background with regards to survival. The swiping is always something that "has been done" (it literally leaves no traces in documented History, the one with capital H). It is the opposite of the sceptre/wand. It puts the witch against the emperor/druid. The broom cleans what the wand creates. The broom fights entropy. It reminds us that entropy exists, and tells us that we can oppose it, always, if we have the will, and that it must be opposed. The healing effects on the mind, on thoughts are obvious to the user. It is a perfect moment to "surrender" your body and its movements to the flow of the cleaning itself. The key scene of Fantasia is the one where Mickey “cleans” the house. In a gentle stroke of irony, the true meaning and power of the broomstick remain hidden to the unitiated, even after the process of symbolization."
