The Ancient Story Behind Mistletoe
Norse Mythology:
In Norse legend, mistletoe plays a central role in the story of Baldur, the god of light and purity. When Baldur was struck down by an arrow made of mistletoe, the gods mourned deeply. His mother, Frigg, declared mistletoe a symbol of love instead of sorrow, promising a kiss to anyone who passed beneath it. This myth is widely believed to be the root of today’s “kiss under the mistletoe” tradition.
Celtic and Druid Origins:
For the ancient Druids, mistletoe was an extraordinary plant—rare, evergreen, and believed to hold sacred powers because it grows high in oak trees between earth and sky. They gathered it during winter rituals to bring healing, protection, fertility, and blessings to homes during the darkest time of year. Its symbolism of life during winter made it an enduring part of Celtic solstice celebrations.
These ancient beliefs eventually blended into later European Christmas traditions, and mistletoe remains one of the season’s most meaningful botanicals.
