As the 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 -- 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.
