Everyone thinks that the scythe that holds the Death is to cut down the souls of the moribunds ¡¡Damn naives!! As urban legend it’s OK and actually frightens, but the truth is that it uses it as mean of transport.

 This also explains why witches used brushes as mean of transport. Everything is due to a pact they made with the Death long long time ago, in order to use its powers, included the power of using objects as mean of transport. COPYCATS!
