In Religion
Darts play an important role in ancient symbolism and mythology:
- In the book of Ephesians, the "armor of God" passage (6:10-18) compares faith to a shield which can "quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one".
- In Norse mythology, Loki tricks Hod into killing his brother Baldur with a dart made of mistletoe.

Derives her birth, and thence doth bring
