The Druids believed that mistletoe (Viscum album L.) was a sacred symbol of peace and friendship, and that mistletoe growing on oak trees provided protection from evil. The Druids would cut the mistletoe from the tree, place it on a white cloth, and offer it to the gods in prayer. The Druids would also use the mistletoe to make an elixir to cure infertility and poison.
