Use in protection sachets, love workings, fertility-symbolism rituals, altar offerings, seasonal displays, household wards, charm bags, or workings involving peace and reconciliation.

⚠️ IMPORTANT MISTLETOE SAFETY

Do not consume this product.

Different plants are sold under the common name “mistletoe,” and toxicity varies by species. American mistletoe can cause gastrointestinal symptoms if swallowed, while serious poisonings have been reported with European mistletoe, particularly concentrated preparations. Keep this product away from children and animals. 

For altar and spiritual use only. Do not prepare as tea, tincture, food, medicine, bath product, or cosmetic.

🏠 Spiritual Cleansing

Mistletoe does not need to be burned. For protection work, it may be placed symbolically near an altar, threshold, charm bag, or protection jar.

If you choose to burn a botanical blend containing mistletoe, ventilate thoroughly and use only a small amount in appropriate fire-safe equipment.
