Druids believed that Holly would protect you against evil spirits and bad luck.
Holly is associated with the Norse gods of thunder to protect from lightning strikes. This superstition is a scientific fact as the spines on the holly leaves act as miniture lightning conductors!
According to legend by bringing Holly inside during the winter you are providing shelter for the fairies from the cold.
For centuries a Holly wreath was worn as a crown by Celtic chiefs for good luck.
