Card for the Day: Mistletoe

Hello friends… we are pulling again today from the beautiful Seasons of the Witch: Yule Oracle deck that was gifted to me a few days ago.

The card for today is really lovely. The description reminds me a lot of The Empress card in the Tarot. It speaks to creativity, projects, what we are giving birth to… the seeds we sow. Honestly… I’m being reminded that I wanted to plant some seeds to keep in our sunny window during the winter months. That will be on the to-do list today, along with some other important mini projects, and steps in a lucrative direction.

What seeds are you sowing?
What small steps can you take?
Who may need a kiss from you?

Mistletoe
#22
Keywords: fertility, protection, spark of ideas
Mantra: What dreams may come from the borrowing of ivy held tight within the womb. A calling in of sorts, a spell from above holy holly.

You probably know mistletoe as the small branch with little berries hanging over doorways. It would seem mistletoe is a creative way to steal a kiss from a crush, but this little branch holds much more than soft kisses. Mistletoe is a key element to Yuletide celebrations. In ancient times it served as a symbol of fertility and protection. Mistletoe berries were considered ‘seeds of conception’ and were commonly added to love potions to increase their effectiveness.
Do you have a ‘seed’ that is ready to be sown? Pulling this card is a positive sign that you should act upon this new project. Creative endeavors are supported at this time, and you shouldn’t be surprised if you find yourself seeing inspiration in unusual places. Perhaps you wonder if your idea is worthy or if things will work out. Do not worry about that now. Pulling this card is confirmation that you are on the right path. You don’t have to do everything all at once. Small steps, just like asking a love interest for a kiss under the mistletoe, are enough to get you started.
