Discover the Celtic mistletoe cult
The bust of the Celtic prince of Glauberg is particularly impressive because of the wreath of mistletoe leaves that the dead man is wearing on his head. Incidentally, posterity only became aware of the worship of mistletoe by Celtic druids through a Roman - after Roman armies had subjugated the Celts and the Celtic culture fell apart.of the Celtic mistletoe cult was written by the natural historian Pliny the Elder in the Naturalis Historia - long after Emperor Augustus, Tiberius or Claudius had banned the Druidism of the Celts (and thus Celtic culture).
Pliny's report on the Celtic mistletoe cult
"... But mistletoe is very rarely found in Gaul; and when it is found, it is taken with great reverence, especially on the sixth day of the moon, which for them marks the beginning of the months and years and a new period of time after 30 years, a day on which the moon already has sufficient power and is not yet half full. In their language, they call mistletoe the all-healing one. According to their custom, they prepare the sacrifice and the meal under the tree and bring two white bulls, whose horns are entwined for the first time. The priest, clothed in a white robe, climbs the tree and cuts off the mistletoe with a golden hilt: it is caught with a white cloth. Finally, they slaughter the sacrificial animals and ask the deity to make the gift lucky for those to whom he gave it. They believe that a potion prepared from this plant makes every barren animal fertile; it is also a remedy against all poisons. Entire peoples often show such reverence for the most ordinary things ..."
