Thank you Neil. The Druids were all about nature and the old ways in the Celtic lands.

Thank you, Pamela, I learned a lot from your post here and it has a festive feel to it. I see mistletoe in the oaks, they often look like nests.

Heidi, I am so glad you enjoyed this post. I love my old copy of Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs. There's so much fun and random information in it. When I saw the painting and the title I knew just where to turn when writing about it.

Ahhhh, the mistletoe. I wish I had some right about now. I forgot all about it this year. 🎄
