Ho,U the MistLetoe
Came to Mean
Kissing


Of mistletoe at Christmas time, but
few of US know the history of 1t as
Yuletlde symbol. Pretty girls are
kissed under 1t and great deal Of fun
and nonsense are carried on apropos of
1t, but no one stops to think of how
ancient decoration It Is or how sacred
1t was once thought to be. The ancient
Celts In their Druidical religion had
two great festivals, one in June and
the other IN December, the latter being
equivalent to our Christmas. In both
of these great festivals the gathering
Of the mistletoe was a sacred rite.
The Druids believed that a potion
prepared from mistletoe would In.
crease their fiocks and that the plant
was a remedy against all poison. Il
was believed to be q curative for many
ills, and this belief is still to be found
In many remote places In Europe. In
Lacaune, France, for example, 1t Is
always administered by the native
jewellers as an antidote for poison.
In the northeast Of Scotland people
used to cut withes Of mistletoe at the
March full moon; these they bent in
circles and kept for year to cure
hectic fevers and other troubles. In
Sweden on midsummer eve mlstletoc
is diligently sought after, the people
believing 1t to be possessed Of many
mystic qualities, and that If sprlg
of 1t Is attached to the ceiling Of the
dwelling house, the horses stall or the
cows crib, the trolls will then be pow
erless to injure either man or beast.
Many German peasants also consider
the mistletoe powerful charm against
evil spirits. A similar belief seems to
have fingered among the Romans.
When Aeneas descended into Hades
he gathered, to protect himself from
the Internal powers, branch of mis-
tletoe, which Vergil calls the golden
bough.
The custom Of kissing under the mis-
tletoe goes back to the days when
Thor and Odin and all the other gods
of the Northland walked and talked
with men. Baldur, the son of Odin
and Frigga, the Apollo of Scandina-
Wan mythology, the flaxen-haired god
of sunshine and Its attendant bless
ings, was loved by all earthly and
heavenly beings save one-Lokl, the
god of earthly fire and its attendant
evils.
How of all the things animate and
inanimate In the world, except the
surly mistletoe, swore never to harm
the sun god and how Lolli slew Baldur
with branch of 1t, has been told with
beautiful poetic power by Matthew
Arnold.
In Cancellation, hoping to soothe tho
passionate sorrow of the mother, Frig
ga, they dedicated the mlstletoe to her.
And now sin and sorrow had hallowed
1t; for hencefOrth it was to grow, not
as a symbol Of bitterness and hatred,
but as n sign of tenderness and love.
But the gods decreed that 1t was to
stand for these things only so long as
it touched not Loki's kingdom, the soil
and for this reason it is never seen
growing on the ground and we our
selves always hang it high on the raft
ers or chandeliers. And now that It
was the plant of love, the custom arose
for enemies to become friends under
The nistletoe: for lovers to pledge
heir troth beneath it; and for those
who met there to kiss as a sign of az
feetionatc fellowship.
