A Weekend Exploration of the Celtic Ogham: The Magical Trees of Life and Divination - a face-to-face workshop for up to 20 participents - Please contact me at greenwomancrafts@gmail.com if you are interested in hosting or organizing such a workshop.

The Celtic Tree Ogham is one of the lesser known forms of divination. This ancient Celtic alphabet has some parity with the runes, ie an alphabet for which each letter also has magical significance and meaning. In this case the divinatory meaning is derived from observation of the ecological, practical as well as magical properties of twenty trees native to the British Isles, e.g. Birch, Rowan, Alder, Willow and Ash.

In this workshop we will be working with the Celtic Tree Ogham as a divination tool, using and exploring the traditional interpretations of the trees. Walking amongst the trees of the land as our allies we will listen to their voices and the stories they have to tell us. Using ritual, trance, art and other skills and tools we will develop and build our own energetic connections and add our own layers to the existing divinatory meanings of the trees. We will learn how to translate these energies into understanding the trees that are part of our own native ecosystems, whether you live in mountains or the desert; and work towards beginning to build a personal tree ogham system that is relevant to our own lands, and which may be more or less based on the traditional Celtic Tree Ogham system.

The Celtic Tree Ogham : an experiential and non-traditional eight week online intensive.

Depending on interest and demand, I am able to offer this as an online workshop several times a year - if you are interested or would like further details please contact me at greenwomancrafts@gmail.com and I will add you to the mailing list for the next start date.

Interest in the Celtic Tree Ogham is beginning to grow and has expanded outwards from the British Isles, extending into countries such as the USA where many of the Celtic trees are not native to the land. Where the traditional Celtic trees are found, they frequently occupy different ecological, practical and magical niches.

In this workshop we will work on learning skills and tools to develop and build energetic connections to the trees of the Celtic Ogham, along with using other resources and research to learn about the ecology of the trees. We will learn how to translate these energies into understanding the trees that are part of our native ecosystems whether you live in mountains or the desert or even in the British Isles (!); and work towards building a personal tree ogham system that is relevant to your own land, and which may be more or less based on the traditional Celtic tree ogham system.

The workshop will include homework set once a week, and will require weekly check-ins to the online forum, which will also provide advice and support throughout the course.
