An Original Celtic Tradition

For the Irish Celts, the green-leafed and white-berried plant was a key fertility symbol and it was particularly revered for its healing powers.

Because mistletoe grows on tree branches without being connected to the earth, Celtic peoples believed that the plant was an earthly manifestation of Taranus, the sun or thunder god.

Trees that hosted the plant on their branches were believed to have been blessed and were held as sacred because the Celtic peoples worshipped the sun as a central focus of their spiritual practice. The belief was that the plant would absorb the host tree’s essence.

For these ancient peoples, finding the shrub growing on an oak, their most revered and holy tree, was of particular significance. In this situation, it was harvested in accordance with complex and lengthy ceremonies.

Its leaves and berries were used to provide symbolic protection from evil, and to strengthen the body against ill humours.
