As the Celtic year comes to a close and Samhain approaches,  the Ivy moon rolls in at the end of the harvest season.

Ivy often lives on after its host plant has died, this is a reminder to us that life goes on, in the endless cycle of life, death and rebirth.

The Celts called this month Gort, pronounced go-ert.

This is a time to banish the negative from your life.

Do workings related to improving yourself, and placing a barricade between you and the things that are toxic to you.

Ivy can be used in magic performed for healing, protection, cooperation, and to bind lovers together.
