About Ogham
Ogham is the ancient alphabet used in Ireland and neighboring Celtic lands of Scotland, Wales, & the Isle of Man, from the 4th century or earlier. Today, it’s commonly referred to as theย Tree Language, with each letter linked to one or more trees. Yet trees are just the tip of the iceberg. Ogham is a deeply complex, sophisticated alphabet, and its tapestry of rich correspondences dates back to medieval times and earlier. Many of these enigmatic meanings are difficult to decipher and hotly debated.ย
To read Ogham, you start at the bottom, and read upward — as a tree grows — from bottom to top. The alphabet begins withย B = Beitheย forย Birch.ย
Each of my Ogham sets includes anย Ogham Quick Referenceย card, as a starting point based on historic meanings and correspondences. As you work with the ogham, I encourage you to learn more and develop your own insights.ย Resources I’ve found helpful:
