The useless bits of info to see if we can make a million posts thread
In many ancient religions the mistletoe was regarded as a sacred plant. The Druids believed that a sprig of mistletoe fastened above a doorway would ward off all sorts of ills, such as witchcraft, disease, bad luck and fire. In addition, it would enhance the hospitality -- and fertility -- of the household. Hence the English Christmas custom of kissing under the mistletoe.
But to the Norsemen the mistletoe was a baleful plant, because it caused the death of Baldur, the shining god of youth
