works of Virgil, in the Edda and ir
Celtic legends.
Druids collected it with great solem

a golden sickle. Medicinal properties
were ascribed to it. and strong belief
was held that it was a charm against
evil.

that mistletoe which grew upon the
oak trees.

posed to be duly performed unless {
berry be plucked off with each kiss
and the privilege ceases when the
last white berry is pulled.
