This is an ancient Druidical term, as we may learn from Pliny,
who says of the misletoe, that the Druids " called it by a word Uiat
signifies in their language all hriil :" Omnia sanantcm appelluntcs sun
vocabulo. — Lib. xvi. ch. 44. The Druids gathered the misletoe on
the tenth of March. Toland supposes that \'irgil (.E«. lib. vi.) al-
ludes to the ceremony of consecrating the misletoe, where he makes
mention of the goUkn branch. Pliny, in the 16th book of his Nat.
Hist., is particular in his description of the misletoe. The following
is a translation of it: — "The Druids (so they call their magi)
hold nothing in such sacred respect as the misletoe, and the tree ou
which it grows, provided it be an oak. They select certain woods
of oak, and they do not perform any sacred rite without the leaf of
that tree ; so that hence it is likely they have been called Druids,
explaining the name from the Greek, Afi/<, Drus, oak; Druida-,
Oakitcs." Whatever grows on that tree, more than its natural
growth, tliey think has been sent from heaven, and is a proof tluif
the tree has been chosen by God himself. However that [species of
misletoe] is very rarely found, and when found it is sought after
with great devotion ; and especially at the sixth moon, which is the
beginning of their months and years, and when the tree has p;issed
its thirtieth year, because it has already abundant vigour, though not
half-grown. They call it by a word signifying in their own language,
ALL-HEAL ; and liaving prepared sacrifices and feasts under the tree,
they bring up two white bulls, whose horns are then first bound ;
the priest in a white robe ascends the tree, and cuts it off with
a golden knife : it is received in a white sheet. Then, and not till
then, they sacrifice the victims, praying that God would render his
gift prosperous to those on whom he had bestowed it. When
misletoe is given as a potion, they are of opinion tliat it can remove
animal barrenness, and tliat it is a remedy agtiinst all poisons.
