re broomsticks.

broomsticks are usually pictured incorectly being used as flying aids. In traditional ( ie, pre-Wicca) practice, the brrom was mounted with the straw IN FRONT of the person, and a candle places in it and lit. Not exactly OSHA standard for fire safety.

The early texts (Farmer at al) discuss the use of the broomstick as a means to apply unguents to the privat parts. These were supposedly made ( the unguents) with materials that would induce hallucinogens, giving the user the feeling of flying.

So, a Dyson would not be of much use.
