What is the mistletoe of Harry Porterie?

I think it should be mistletoe. The word contact first appeared in Nordic mythology. If there is a woman standing under the mistletoe, any passing man can kiss her. It is said that it symbolizes love and forgiveness.

Mistletoe evergreen represents hope and abundance. There is a famous English saying: there is no happiness without mistletoe.

Mistletoe is called "the golden branch of life" in the west, but it has become a symbol of death in Nordic mythology: the son of god of light Bode, Odin and frigga, the god of love, was shot to death by the dark god holder with a dart made of mistletoe under the command of Vulcan Loki.

One midsummer afternoon, Bud, the god of light, had a nightmare about "death". When his mother Frigga knew about it, she was frightened because her son's life was threatened by death. Frigga asked everything in the world to swear to her that they would never hurt Bud. Everything, such as bows and arrows, long knives, sledgehammers and daggers, has been sworn, even flowers, diseases and stones have been sworn. Only mistletoe, which grows beside the ghost hall, is not required to swear, because frigga thinks it is too weak. Frigga thought it was foolproof, so he invited the gods of the kingdom of gods to verify the effect of the oath. All the weapons of the gods really can't hurt Bud, even the most powerful weapon of the gods-the hammer of Thor.

Loki, who is jealous by nature, wants to give Bud some color to see. So Loki became a woman and came to frigga's palace. From Frigga's mouth, only mistletoe didn't swear, because it was too small and weak to hurt people. So Loki instigated hoddle, the blind god of darkness, to throw the sharp branches of mistletoe at Bud, and the sharp branches of mistletoe passed through Bud's chest like spears. Bud's white robe was immediately dyed red with blood, and Bud died with his last breath.

Frija's sad tears dissolved the evil of mistletoe and saved her son. So she promised that whoever stood under the mistletoe would get a kiss. This myth has evolved into a western Christmas tradition: if a woman occasionally passes by or stands where mistletoe hangs, the man next to her can go up and kiss her. Westerners believe that this is a sign of the combination of the two sexes and many children. This is also in line with the customs of the ancient Celts. They believe that red mistletoe fruit is a symbol of women's vitality; White fruit represents male fertility; They all represent the primitive Mother Earth.

According to tradition, mistletoe, regarded as an evil thing, can be used to help pregnancy and lightning protection; Hanging in the room can resist bad luck and witchcraft, and hanging at the door can prevent witches from entering the room. Mistletoe was once regarded as a "panacea", and some tribes in Africa would wear it before the war to avoid injury. The Austrian put mistletoe on the threshold in case of nightmares. When Christmas comes, English people will hang branches of mistletoe and put them under pillows to predict their dreams. Swedes use mistletoe branches as probes to detect gold veins. In the border area between Austria and Italy, there has been a saying that mistletoe can make people invisible.
