Oh! Here's a little Halloween knowledge for you non-pagans. Now, I've seen nothing to confirm this in print, but witches who are familiar with the craft's use of symbols to hide the proper way to do certain rituals, the old "they rode broomsticks anointed with hallucinogenic ointments while naked and it made them feel like they were flying".... Sex magic. I'm not the only witch I know who has thought that.

For whatever it's worth, early depictions of witches riding broomsticks include men as well as women (as well as non-human beings) riding them.
