Ritual of oak and mistletoe : ウィキペディア英語版
Ritual of oak and mistletoe
The ritual of oak and mistletoe is a Celtic religious ceremony, in which white-clad druids climbed a sacred oak, cut down the mistletoe growing on it, sacrificed two white bulls and used the mistletoe to make an elixir to cure infertility and the effects of poison.〔Pliny the Elder. ''Natural History'' XVI, 95.〕 The ritual, known from a single passage in Pliny's ''Natural History'', has helped shape the image of the druid in the popular imagination.〔Brunaux (2006), p. 47.〕
== Account by Pliny the Elder==
The only extant source for this ritual is a passage in the ''Natural History'' by Roman historian Pliny the Elder, written in the 1st century AD. Speaking of mistletoe, he writes:
While Pliny does not indicate the source on which he based this account, Jean-Louis Brunaux has argued that it was likely Posidonius of Rhodes, a polymath who flourished in the 1st century BC.〔Brunaux (2006), p. 48.〕
