Dear All, for those of you who are hoping for a couple of kisses under the
Mistletoe this month, and even for those who are not, you might like to know
that Viscum Album is the Remedy of the Month on my website.

Dear Joy

Thanks for this timely piece on "mistletoe".

Some reading I did years ago that stuck with me was that originally the
association with "Christmas" came because, during Druidic times when
Solstice celebrations resulted in lots of conviviality of the "frigging"
kind, a mead made of misletoe was drunk continually throughout the
celebrations by the women because of its abortifacient qualities.

So.....the maiden "under the mistletoe" was SAFE enough to kiss....etc!
