The month of September was named after the seventh month of the old Roman calendar. September honors the goddess Pomona patroness of fruit and fruit bearing trees. The Anglo Saxon naming came from Haligmonath or Holy Month.  During this month, the Great Solar Wheel of the year is turned to the Autumnal Equinox. Also celebrate the commencement of two Celtic trees. Muin, sacred to the God Lugh and Gort, sacred to the goddess Brigit and to Arianrhod. In the backwoods the Harvest Mood is on the rise, where the farmers can work late during the peak of the harvest.

  Arianrhod (Celtic) is the Mother Goddess of the Celtic Aryans, she is the keeper of the endless cycle of the Silver Wheel of the stars the symbol of time or karma. The eternal Silver Wheel or the Oar Wheel descends into the sea, carrying the dead warriors to the moon land. The Welsh honors her as the mother aspect of the triple goddess at the Full Moon, Beauty, fertility and reincarnation.  

Deohako (Iroquois/Seneca) is the Spirits of maize, beans and gourds who live together in a single hill. Searching for dew, the maize spirits Onatha was captured by the evil spirit Hahgwehdaetgah who took her off to the underworld. The Sun rescued her, and ever since she has remained in the cornfields until the corn is ripe.

Wuriupranili (Aboriginal) is the Sun goddess was said to light bark from a torch, carrying the fame through the sky from east to west. At the western sea, she dipped it in the water. Then used the embers to guide her under the earth to returned back to her eastern starting point again. The brilliant skies of the dawn and dusk, it was said came from her red ochre body paint misting up into the sky as she powered and beautified her body.

The Celtic tree calendar starts with Muin for the month September. The Ogham word for Muin or vine means “Highest of Beauty” and “Strongest of Effort” for the aspirations of all poets and artist alike. Muin is also symbolized by the White Swan, representing the divinity of the Gods/Goddesses with their journeys to the underground temples during the Autumn Equinox.

The month of September will end with the commencement of Celtic tree of Gort. The Ivy comes from the Evergreen and Ginseng family The ivy with its dark green leaves, producing greenish flowers is also dependant for support from a host tree or structural means.  The Ivy is also associated with the goddess Brigit for truth and inspirations with the element of fire and with the lunar goddess, Arianrhod in ritual matters allowing her to open the portal to the Otherworld. This opening also symbolized the entrance to the Fairy World. The Ivy connects itself to the Hunter Moon and to the female hunters, such with the Wolf, the Bear, and the Lion.
