In Norse mythology, it was with a sprig of mistletoe, flung at the bidding of the wicked Loki, that Hodur, the blind god,' slew Baldui’ the Beautiful. And for that crime Freya, Mother of Life, set it apart, suspended between heaven and earth. The hang,, shiped gathering it with many rites on the shortest day, December 21st. Caught before it touched the ground, in the outspread robes of the chief Druid, it was separated into small portions and divided amongst the worship­ pers, who carried it home and hung it over their house doors, as a pro­ tection against winter dangers. So here is one reason why mistle­ toe finds a place in our homes at Christmas. But why do lovers kiss under it. Going back to the Norse legend, we find that Freya’s spell ordained that the ‘'Kiss of Peace” must be ex­ changed under the plant, to salve the does which fell upon the earth with Baldur’s death, and for this reason the Druids called it "All Heal.” Amongst the Franks, the plant was still regarded as a peacemaker, If mortal enemies met beneath the tree where the mistletoe hung, a truce was declared, must be When wards, adapted amongst others, it was long the Christianized practice to exchange a ‘‘Kiss of Peace” under the mistle­ toe, at a certain point in the servce for Christmas Day. Yet, even so, it was looked upon as an uncanny plant. ‘‘Tree of the Cross” they call it in Brittany and legend said that the Cross was made from mistletoe wood, when it grew as a forest tree and that for disservice to mankind, it was demned to be a thing apart. Soon the mistletoe relapsed paganism. It was banished from the churches, and from church decora­ tions, yet it retained its potency as a “Kissing Bush.” That kissing was conducted as a joyous ceremony in Elizabethan days when each swain, as he kissed, must pluck off a berry, and, when there were no more ber­ ries—why, no more . kisses! Druids saw the mistletoe mystic, luminous and wor- it for that very strangeness shed there.
