The Celtic Tree Zodiac

ᚌIvy

Celtic tree zodiac · Sep 30 – Oct 27 · Ogham Gort · the Butterfly

The ivy month of the Celtic tree calendar (Sep 30 – Oct 27), paired with the butterfly in the animal zodiac.

Ivy is the tree of persistence and spiral growth: the quiet tenacity that climbs any wall and endures where others give out. Carrying the butterfly's transformation and lightness, it changes even as it holds on — its growth is to cling less tightly to what has already served its turn.
