Framed Print of Mistletoe, Alchemy Plant
Mistletoe (viscum album) was sacred and received the greatest veneration by the ancient Teutonic and Celtic tribes. The Druid priests, after their ceremony of sacrificing a white bull to the good spirits, distributed mistletoe branches among the worshippers. These branches were taken to people's dwellings and suspended from the ceiling to ward off all evil spirits. Mistletoe is still used today in many homes at Christmas time, but is banned in churches as a symbol of paganism. A Sun herb, mistletoe fights against despair, protects, and helps in hunting and conception and is said to ward off werewolves and thieves. © New York Public Library / Science Source
