In Teen Wolf mythology, the nemeton is the huge tree in the woods where all sorts of magic happens, and is the source of power for the majority of Beacon Hills' supernatural community.
In Celtic mythology, the nemeton is a general term used for any kind of sacred outdoor space. It’s said to have a vortex of energy and was considered a Druid temple, since the Celts worshipped outside. The Druids were a Celtic people of Gaul, Britain, and France, and very little is written about them in history. The Roman writer Pliny the Elder is often used as the authority on Druid history, and his account tells tales of human sacrifice and rituals.
Specifically, the Druids are known for the oak and mistletoe ritual in which an elder would climb an oak tree and snip the mistletoe from the top. Two white bulls were sacrificed, and their blood, combined with the mistletoe, made an elixir to treat poisonings and infertility.
