In his book «The White Goddess», Robert Graves exposes a synthesis about the meaning
of each month of the Druid Calendar of Trees. About the month of the Ivy, which corresponds
to the letter (G) Gort, he says thus: «G, the month of the Ivy, is the month of the wild boar as

the Lover of the Goddess Aphrodite. Finn Mac Cool, disguised of wild boar, kills Diarmuid, the
lover of the Irish Goddess Grainne (Greine). An unknown God, disguised of wild boar, kills
Ameo King of Arcadia and worshipper of Artemis, in his vineyard of Tegea and, according to the
Gannat Busamé (‘Garden of Delights’) Nestorian, the Cretan Zeus was killed likewise. October
was the season of the wild boar hunt, and also the season of The Bassarids garlanded with Ivy.

The wild boar is the animal of the death and the «fall» of the year starts in the month of
the wild boar».
