🌿 Celtic Tree Month of Ivy (Gort) Begins

Ivy – The Tree of Resilience, Transformation & Spiritual Growth

Ivy winds, climbs, and adapts — it is the tree of persistence through darkness. As the year descends deeper into the shadowy half, Ivy teaches us the strength of flexibility, endurance, and faith. In Celtic tradition, Ivy (Gort) represents the soul’s ability to survive life’s twists and turns, maintaining connection to the sacred even in struggle.

This month is ideal for shedding what no longer serves you and reclaiming your inner strength. Ivy reminds us that spiritual progress is not always linear — it’s about the journey, the spiral path. Work with this energy through shadow work, protective charms, ancestral rituals, and self-trust.
