   I understand that druid new moon, six days after new moon, so   
   tomorrow (Tuesday) is the time when Breton druids cut the   
   mistletoe with a golden sickle (shaped like the moon?).   
      
   What is the mystical significance of this and when did it   
   originate, and who originated it if known?   Also what   
   time of the day is the mistletoe cut, morning or evening   
   (I would guess around sunset).  Do any other than   
   Breton druids do this as well?   
      
   Correct me if I have any of the above incorrect.   
   Pointers to web pages would also be welcome   
   as would followups to this post.
