F According to Scandinavian mythology, Lokl, the god of evil, was the G sworn enemy of Baldur,' the, god of light, and tried by every means In his power to kill him, but failed beoause he was involnerable to everything that came from the earth, air, fire or water. Lokl at last conceived the idea that o the mistletoe, springing frbm neither, t< would serve his purpose', and, having a an arrow made from the wfcod he y tielped Hodi, the bjind god of dark- it aess, to aim it, and Bailor tell dead? ti ihot through the heart. D All the gods and goddesses prayed F tor his restoration to life, and when di :ne prayer was granted u was ue* ? rreed that the mistletoe should never- tt nore have power to do harm unless it f? :ouched the earth, and\the goddess of si ove was appointed to guard it oi Some legends claim that ;ihe god- ^ less kissed ari who pass&F'ijpder the al >lant as a token that it wa^no longer 41 l weapon of death, but a symbol of ove, while others assert that she ex- n racted a kiss from each as a propitia- tc ion, or the bough shotfld be allowed to ^ 7ork harm. . , . Another reason for the kissing priv> lege conferred by the plant is said to *e that a lovely maiden preferred p leath to the kisses of an amorous old oonk who pursued her} ;-^nd her irayers for deliverance wert answerd by transforming her Ij^o^a inlstle- ** oe branch and placing her in & tree, KIm For Each Berry, " The custom of "kissing beneath the llstletoe" is so old that fld one knows iD fhen it originated; but when young ti eople are found selecting the branches ai bat have the berries on, It 1& &ir to p< appose that they know a. kiasjmust e given for each berry plucked and ti bat the ceremony is never complete m ntil fevery berry is off the branch. nj There was once a common, though w llstaken, belief that tbfc mistletoe grew tt n oak trees only,,but that was so far rom'true that the Druids, who held F be oak as absolutely sacred because it bey believed It to represent the One ; fa lupreme God,, deemed the mistletoe | In oubiy sacred if found on one, and (X dmAiIIv tmorHtvl It nnHl thf> sixth dflT : ti Iter the first new moon of each | 01 ear. j ai When this time-, arrived, priests , In obed in spotless white, surrounded lc tie tree and held solemn ceremonies, mong which was the sacrifice of two ^ rhlte bulls.
