Mistletoe Christmas Card

Adapted from Pocket Atlas of Field, Meadow and Woodland Plants: for Walkers and Hikers by R. Siélain (Paris, 1895). According to legend, in midwinter the Druids cut mistletoe from the oak with a golden sickle as a gift from the heavens and a sign of life enduring through the dark. It still hangs at Christmas, inviting kisses and keeping alive an ancient promise of goodwill in the depths of winter.
