Known as all-heal and believed to increase fertility in both people and animals, mistletoe was a sacred plant to the Druids. It was also used for good luck and defense against evil spirits. MISTLETOE CHARM SPELLWrap the mistletoe in a white cloth before hanging it in special places around the home, tied with red or white ribbon. Hanging mistletoe over the bed with a simple prayer for a child is an ancient charm to enhance fertility, whereas placing it over the hearth or the front door encourages kinship, goodwill and a happy home. Hang up your mistletoe with simple prayers for love, good friendships, a beautiful home and garden, success in your business or any creative adventure, and it will bring your dreams to manifestation in the coming spring. When the solstice has passed, either leave the mistletoe in its place or find another respectful place to hang it over the coming year and then burn it at the following Winter Solstice, replacing it with a fresh bunch. **Always consult a physician before using herbal products, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medication(s).
