Although mistletoe was also found on ash trees, apple trees and possibly other fruit trees, Druids (Egyptians and other Nile Valley Africans who were also the first Greeks) especially revered Mistletoe that grows on the oak tree.They used mistletoe tea to restore fertility to any barren animal, and also used it as a remedy against all poisons.
In addition to fertility, healing and purifying (detoxification), mistletoe also confers immortality, thus, all this means resurrection, rebirth and birth.
Kiss
Kiss is a form of Kes. Khes is spirit-soul. When spirits or souls of life meet, unite, connect, interact, bond or band, they are forming a khes ing, khesing by arranging themselves in a manner most beneficial to both or all. This is a holy khes, a holy kiss.Greet one another with a holy kiss to symbolize spiritual unity, unity of consciousness.
Mistletoe is associated with Christmas because of its association with rebirth of the ever-coming one karest at winter solstice. Thus kissing under the mistletoe is a Mythological and Eschatological ritual that commemorates this spiritual process between souls of life that takes place in nature in all creations all the time. Winter solstice is just the beginning of one of many cycles; however, it is a significant beginning in the north.
Kissing under the mistletoe is supposed to be platonic, not romantic, thus in most instances should be a quick closed mouth kiss on the cheek or lips.
Societal representations, as always, produce degradations and retardations of original practices. This is why kissing under the mistletoe is misunderstood and is mostly shown in a romantic way.
