Ogam: The Celtic Oracle of the Trees: Understanding, Casting, and Interpreting the Ancient Druidic Alphabet

A great read I purchased as I had been on an ogham fews /runes course and had made my own set whittiling wood. This was the perfect companion going into more depth and accessible language .

Best book on thee subject I have seen clear precise and easily understood leaves one with a lot to think about.

Like these heritage and information in an oracle set. I like to learn about my heritage and in a bid to recover knowledge that was stolen and lost to us over time I am pleased to own these.

Before I came to this book, I had a developing interest in the identification and folklore of trees. This led me towards the spiritual and magical powers of trees. From this interest I discovered the Ogham script and its use as a divination tool. I was keen to find out more about a divination system that related to trees and came accross this book in my local library. I now own a copy and would not be with out it! The book gives a brief history of Oghams and associated celtic folklore/mythology. It Then Lists each of the 20 Oghams in turn and gives you information about the tree the ogham represents, keywords for divination, a more detailed commentaary on the meaning of this Ogham and also details of the folklore/mythology of that tree. The last section of the book describes how Oghams can be used in divination. It gives examples of the types of spread that you can use (from simple 4 Ogham spread to more complex 13 Ogham spread). I made my own set of Ogham after reading this book and have used them for divination on a number of occassions. This book is indespensible for those of you, like me, who are just starting out on the journey of discovery with Oghams, or for those who have a casual interest in the meaning of Oghams or different systems of divination. I find myself constantly returning to this excellant book to refresh my memory and as a learning aid.

A thoughtful, in depth and well written text that covers the subject well. It will make you want to know more and more so be prepared to purchase more books on the subject!!!
