The Ivy Moon ~ 1st November to 31st December
🌿 Learn about the Ivy Moon 🌿
Celtic Tree Moon No. 11

Welcome to the Ivy Moon, a time of deep-rooted wisdom and unwavering resilience. She is our protective sister, our ancient teacher, guiding us through the season of the Crone and into the witch’s new year. Ivy, the feminine force, entwines life and death in a sacred spiral of rebirth, covering and supporting the world with her green glow.

The Mystical Power of Ivy

In days gone by, I held Ivy in fear, seeing only her shadow side. She seemed vampiric, grasping, with her creeping vines. But the Celts, who called her "Gort," knew her true purpose. Ivy is a guardian, a healer, binding to trees to lend them life and strength, ever tenacious and enduring, even through the harshness of winter.

Winter’s Green Jewel

Throughout the bare landscape, Ivy endures, shining like a green gem in the shadows. She is the last to bloom in the year, providing her sweet nectar to bees and insects, a lifeline in the quietude of winter.

Ancient Folk Medicine

Ivy has long held a special place in folk medicine—infused to cure the hangovers of Bacchus, used for pain relief, and valued for her diuretic properties. The wise Nicholas Culpepper praised Ivy for easing ailments from eye troubles to heavy moons, aligning with Saturn’s lessons of endurance and mastery.

Ivy’s Magic in Your Life

The Ivy Moon is a time for spells of strength, protection, and resilience. Craft your own magical shield by carving a protective symbol on a black candle, surrounding it with Ivy’s branches, and setting your intentions. As the candle burns, you call forth Ivy’s power to guard your home and strengthen your spirit.

Once your candle burns down, tie three Ivy branches together and place them near your doorway. Let Ivy stand as your watchful guardian, or, for a simpler touch, hide a single leaf in each room. For blessings on a journey, carry Ivy in your car. For a bride’s fortune, tuck a sprig in the hem of her dress.

Embracing Ivy’s Message

The Ivy Moon teaches that what may seem to hold you back is often a hidden ally, guiding you towards growth. With patience and trust, you’ll receive what you need at exactly the right time. Ivy whispers to us: challenges are here to reveal your strength.
