Also known as birdlime, all-heal and Golden
Bough, mistletoe is probably the most wellknown and sacred plant of the Druids. It rules
the winter solstice, when bunches of mistletoe
can be hung around the home as a protective
device. It is extremely poisonous and should
only be used homoeopathically under the strict
supervision of a qualified practitioner. It is used
magically to combat despair, to bring beautiful
dreams, to unlock the secrets of immortality and
to protect the bearer from werewolves.
The wood can be used for wands and ritual
items, or such items can be placed in a mistletoe
infusion to strengthen their power.
