Mistletoe Lore Across Ancient Cultures
The mistletoe, called misselden or missel, was revered by the pagans of Greece and Rome and cited in Virgil. Druids gathered it with ceremony, the Prince of Druids cutting it with a golden sickle. Ancient Britons prized mistletoe on oaks and the white berries were tied to romance and protection from evil, linked to a kiss under the bough. The tale mentions a charm against evil and a cryptic phrase about Innaly and aingla Mia.
