While most of us just see mistletoe as an opportunity to give our loved one a smooch, it was much more than that to the ancient druids. Mistletoe was considered a sacred plant, and it was symbolic of Winter Solstice. During this time, the druids would wear white robes and red cloaks. They cut down the mistletoe from a host tree and brewed the plant for different potions.
Mistletoe stays green and bears fruit through the winter because it has a parasitic relationship with the tree it grows on. Because of its abundance during winter, mistletoe seemed quite magical to the ancients and symbolized fertility. In some traditions, people would tie mistletoe to their fruit trees to promote harvest (not something we would encourage these days) or place it in their bedroom as a fertility charm.
Mistletoe can be carried or placed where protection is needed, it is hung over a cradle to prevent the theft of a child by fairies (not recommended). Amulets and jewelry can be made of its wood as talismans of protection and to speed healing. It will aid in hunting and in conception. Hang it in the bedroom to bring beautiful dreams and to unlock, through the dreams, the secrets of immortality. Hang it in the home to bring the blessings of the Goddess of love.

According to Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Anthroposophy, mistletoe is “insanely aristocratic,” because it grows according to its own rhythms, “as if the Earth were not there.” It grows in any direction, often forming a strange ball up in a tree, it flowers in the winter, and it has berries all year long. He argued that mistletoe was the perfect remedy for cancer and developed it into a specially crafted medicine called Iscador, which is used in Europe (and which is not the same thing as an extract – mistletoe is poisonous). Mistletoe is also known as Birdlime, Herbe de la Croix, Mystyldene, and Lignum Crucis. This ischopped mistletoe harvested in Europe from apple trees
