What is Ogham? 

 

The Celtic Tree Ogham is an Irish alphabet created to record Primitive Irish.  It consists of 20 feda, with an extra 5 forfedha added at a later date. Like the many Runic Alphabets, each Fed (letter/symbol) has meanings associated with it. One such set of associations is with trees – and this is what the Ogham has become best known for. While its uses beyond writing and carving in stone are lost to time, its use in magic has been recorded in Irish mythology and it is likely that it could have been used for divination. Most of the sets made by Greenwomancrafts include the original 20 feda only, with the forfedha being available by commission only.
