You have to get its molecular stucture to move quickly - increasing the kinetic energy. The same way superman flys I believe.

Ask Harry Potter, i am sure he can tell you.

can you tell me im a solitary witch and i just started and could you tell me in steps

no, i have a magic carpet. broomstick are so yesterday.

Easy. Tie one of these to it.

Ok, to avoid all the sarcasm, I'll answer for real. There is no way known to man that people can fly on broomsticks. It's a myth, and a very annoying stereotype. It's also against the laws of physics. The broomstick is commonly used to cleanse a circle, and can be used to sweep the circle of negative energies before and after rituals. To ryan1010: Oh wow. Almost all Witches know that it's not possible and not even worth thinking about. Please do more research before you start calling yourself a Witch.

AntigoneRising might be able to help you with that...

The idea that witches fly on broomsticks is a very old one, and may have originated in the use of ointments which contained hallucinogens that made people imagine they were flying. The active ingredients in these ointments were usually atropine and solanine, among others, possibly including ergotamine from the toxic grain mold called "ergot." These compounds were easily available from plants which are still common today. Atropine is a drug still used in modern surgery. Mixed in with lard or something similar, like butter, these drugs could easily be rubbed on skin, especially on mucous membranes, to be absorbed and take effect quickly (the way nicotine patches work today to get nicotine into your system through the skin). Sometimes, sticks were used to help spread the ointment to sensitive tissues -- hence the "broomstick" connection. These drugs are very dangerous and can result not only in dangerous hallucinations, but also in death. So the answer is, while use of these drugs may have been how witches of the past seemed to "fly" on "broomsticks," if the "you" in your question means how do modern witches (or Wiccans?) fly on broomsticks, the answer is, they do not. Some witches or Wiccans may use broomsticks in symbolic ways, for sweeping a circle, or other ritual sweeping, but not for flying. :) LATE EDIT: I should have mentioned that some of the old belief that witches could fly came from testimony that an accused witch was in one place, while she was able to prove that she was actually asleep at home far away. Supposedly, this meant that she (or he) must have been able to "fly" to have been in both places at once, or close to at once. It is like the Christian idea that their angels "fly" and have wings. There's little in Christian scripture to support the idea of angels other than seraphim (six wings) and cherubim (and the angels called "thrones," four wings) having angel wings or flying, but it was the only explanation that made sense to most people, and is a long-standing part of Christian iconography, like the wings usually shown on the ankles and helmet of the Greco-Roman messenger god, Mercury. http://www.gotquestions.org/angels-wings.html I have seen old images of witches "flying" with feathered or bat-like wings, probably based on early Christian depictions of Lilith and other succubi, but the more common post-medieval image is of witches flying with brooms. Lilith was a Middle Eastern night goddess of sexuality with long hair and wings, generally considered by Jews & Christians as a demon but also sometimes identified as Adam's wife before Eve. Many medieval Christians identified her as the Queen of the Witches.

If you're female, very carefully.

Tell someone to hold the broomstick over their head and run, then you got to sit on it.

We don't fly on broomsticks, and never have. The only way I can think of to accomplish this is to put a broomstick on an airplane, and sit on it while the plane flies. Here is a flying spell I put together. It works for me, and I guarantee that it will work for you: http://www.witchoftheeast.com/spells.html

You don't.

I know that. It was a joke. You're just the only witch here that I know of.

If it's a Harry Potter® Broomstick, something strange always happens......... http://www.davesdaily.com/pictures/398-harrypottersbroomstick.htm

one leg on one side, other leg on other side; go.

I just flap my angel wings.

It is absolutly possible to fly a broomstick. I would no im a witch.I all has to come from within you same thing with magick.I would know because my great great well alot of greats grampa was merlin.

I control it with my mind. Why? How do you do it?

Before takeoff you've got to make sure that the flaps are rolling as you pull up on the collective. There's no real specifics on this other than feel and wind speed so you'll just need to paractice as you push foreward on the rotor pitch. Maintain vertical stabilization with your feet as you begin forward and vertical movement holding the stick with your fingertips you should be allright. Just remember if the bristles start to swish you'll need to hold on with both hands.

Put an electric motor on it
