This is a Celtic tree card for "Ivy," covering the period from September 30 to October 27. The illustration shows an endearing tree character almost completely enveloped in lush ivy vines. The ivy symbolizes determination, faith, and connection. People associated with this tree period are described as loyal, compassionate, persistent, and spiritual. The key themes connected to ivy are tenacity, empathy, and devotion. This card beautifully captures ivy's nature as a climbing, clinging plant that forms strong bonds and connections. The way the ivy leaves seem to embrace and protect the tree character perfectly represents the themes of connection and devotion. The green coloring is particularly rich and vibrant, emphasizing ivy's evergreen nature and its ability to thrive even as other plants begin to fade in autumn. In Celtic tradition, ivy was sacred to the lunar goddess and represented fidelity and eternal life due to its evergreen nature and strong clinging ability.
