Why Witches Fly On Broomsticks

They collected human fat from graveyards and also harvested poisonous plants. The human fat was mixed with these poisonous plants and herbs, then boiled to create an ointment. This ointment was applied to a broomstick, which they would then climb on, hoping to meet Satan. The ointment on the broomstick would penetrate their skin, causing them to fall asleep. In this state, many experienced visions of flying through the sky on a broomstick, which contributed to the myth of witches flying on broomsticks.
