Divine measures

If a broom was aware of itself as a creature it would find it most natural to sweep, or be flown with by witches as a natural pattern of action that is consistent with the nature of its incarnation.

Gazelles eating grass while lions eating gazelles, and none of them are to blame, no matter what one think about it. As long as none of them exceed the limits nature has marked, they are doing what they have to do.

Goddesses might seem a little tricky, because their powers are not to grasp, and you’d rather be able to grasp things in order to feel safe, even if it is not possible to grasp something that is so far above similar, commonly used, comprehension. So if you want to dance with a goddess, you only get the lead, if you accept that the dance floor is the Lord’s Mark.

Frigg had gotten a tickling lust to see other gods and goddesses, and brewed at the opportunity to invite to a party in Valhalla, but she knew that it was not just something you did with a snap of the fingers. Odin should be content with the idea, and this alone could be a big hurdle to overcome. Not because he was not for partying, but the ideas should preferably come from him, So it would need to think and prepare carefully so the feast could become a reality and a success.

And although there was plenty of room in Valhalla, you could not invite everyone, so there could be problems with jealousy from those not invited, and its kind would be difficult to get written into oblivion. The Olympian gods and goddesses would fill well, so Frigg would like to settle for Appollon and the nine Muses, and from India had to finally not invited more than were invited from Olympus. But in India, there were over three hundred million gods to choose from, so it was no easy feat. Lakshmi, with the four arms would certainly not be invited, because it was too much for Frigg to look at when she ate and drank, and it was impossible not to look at her because her movements were so conspicuous.

So maybe it was still best to forget the desire for a big feast. Odin also suffered from migraine, as he called it, when he had drunk too much mead and it was pretty much every day. To be honest he was too old to Frigg, who had pulsating blood in her veins, and everyone knows what that might mean. Everyone also knows that the new brooms sweeps best, but Odin could not just be replaced, because even though he was old, he could probably easily live some eons and a few decades yet. He also had been up early every day since the beginning of time, so little bleary-eyed, is understandable, he was.

It had to wait until late June, so they could celebrate Midsummer, because it made sense in Valhalla, when witches were related to the jotuns and often were together with Loki. They held many ordinary gatherings, and had their own plans which included brooms, for they wouldn’t cycle to Blocksberg, but flew in their usual, authorized manner. But new brooms was always welcome, and they were never actually used to sweep with.

Therefore, witch brooms were often frustrated, but deep in their precious hearts, was a faint recollection of a life where you were able to move dust and dirt from one place to another. And it made perfect sense for a broom.
