New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Druids used the magic of mistletoe for festivals throughout the year, including Midsummer and Yule. Evergreens were considered magical because they didn't wither away each year like other plants, making them seem immune from death. Mistletoe also seemed to defy nature by growing in the upper branches of trees rather than on the ground. The Druids called it "all-heal" because of its potent healing properties and its use as a fertility aid. Mistletoe that grew atop oak trees in sacred groves was considered particularly powerful. Call on the magic of this wonderful plant by threading a string of small white Christmas lights through the upper branches of a tree at Yule or at any time of year. |
