Have you ever wondered how broomsticks became associated with witchcraft?

"'So-called witches made potions from a variety of plants, some of which had hallucinogenic properties. These concoctions could be absorbed through glands in between their legs, Witches we're believed to smear their concoctions on wooden staffs The witches would then mount the staffs, and the hallucinogenic compounds would bring on erratic behavior."
