在北方的原始部落中，也存在著一種更野蠻的慶祝形式：他們點燃巨大的木柴，以紀念奧丁和托爾，並向祂們獻祭人和牲畜。德魯伊王子隨後用金色鐮刀從神聖的橡樹上割下槲寄生。

A more barbarous form of these rejoicings took place among the rude peoples of the north where great blocks of wood blazed in honor of Odin and Thor, and sacrifices of men and cattle were made to them. Mistletoe was cut then from the sacred oaks with a golden sickle by the Prince of the Druids.
