RE: Mistletoe in Symbolism and Mythology

in #blog2 years ago

What an interesting creature this plant is! I don’t know if I’ve ever seen one; I vaguely remember seeing round green clumps on some leafless trees in forests of Eastern Europe, but can’t say if it was a mistletoe.

It’s interesting how it is attributed so many good qualities even though biologically speaking it’s a parasitic creature that feeds through host trees. It can even lead to the host tree dying in several years if the tree gets heavily overwhelmed with many mistletoes.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my post and great that you were able to learn something new :) Happy that you address this important topic, it’s really amazing how diverse this plant is!
