Origin & Lore

Mistletoe is a parasitic evergreen that grows on trees such as apple and oak, bearing white berries in winter. It was sacred to the Druids, and in later folk custom it was hung in houses for luck and protection. In magickal practice it is used for good fortune, prosperity and blessing.

Mistletoe grows on trees without ever touching the ground, and that alone made it holy to the ancient Celts.

A Roman naturalist described Druids in white robes cutting mistletoe from an oak with a golden sickle on the sixth day of the Moon. In Norse myth, the god Baldr was killed by a dart of mistletoe, the one plant that had not sworn not to harm him. Hanging mistletoe at Christmas and kissing beneath it became popular in England by the eighteenth century.
