Description
The color of nature and health is green. It represents growth, money, fertility and safety. It is a relaxing color that is pleasing to the eye, and it is even said to have healing powers. It has never been my favorite color, but what would the world be without it?
The connection between mistletoe and a kiss comes from ancient Norse mythology. The god Balder (Baldur /Baldr) was killed by an enemy's arrow made of mistletoe. His mother, the goddess Frigg, wept tears onto the arrow. Her tears turned into white berries that she placed onto Baldur's wound, bringing him back to life. Overjoyed, Frigg blessed the mistletoe plant and promised a kiss to all who passed beneath it.
