Mistletoe Magick

Ruler: Apollo, Druids, Venus
Type: Herb
Magickal Form: Berries, Leaves, Wood
Use for: Fertility, protection, love, healing, luck, and invisibility

Mistletoe is another important plant that is used in many holiday traditions surrounding the winter solstice. Druids believed that anything found growing on an oak tree had been sent from heaven and mistletoe found on oaks was especially sacred.

Said to lose its power once it touches the ground, mistletoe is a holy herb and sacred to many deities. Mistletoe was perceived as being in a category all its own....

I'm so sorry to do this to you, but this post has been moved to my new website, Magickal Ingredients (hosted at shirleytwofeathers.com) and can be found in its entirety here: Mistletoe

  2. Extremely informative! I just thought it was a simple tradition (or an excuse) to kiss under the mistletoe. I would have never thought it would give protection or fertility! Great post! Blessed Be! <3
