![]() As the authors are different between part I & II, sometimes the interpretations will differ. Each cycle (part I & II) focuses on several respected authors who study the Ogham. I began the second cycle at that time and finished it in May of 2012. My first post was at the beginning of May 2011, the “light half” of the year, and this first cycle was concluded by the end of October 2011 for the beginning of the “dark half” of the year (or more accurately the cold half). ![]() Within the Celtic Tree Ogham there are 25 main letters, or fews. Sharing these findings with those who were also interested was my way of giving back. A previous knowledge of the Ogham was not necessary for the reader, though some would have chosen to skip ahead to the Myth and Folklore section. In this way I would research, reflect, and meditate upon each letter for a week before publishing what I had discovered or written. My intention, in writing the blog, was to reflect more deeply on the associations for each of these letters in a way that deepened my own relationship with the Ogham and in a way which promoted a practice of self-discipline. The Ogham, however, is often used by many as a way to reconnect with the ancestor spirits of the past, or with nature itself. Nowadays, the Ogham is often seen as a “tree alphabet,” but there’s little evidence that the listings of these trees within the Ogham Tract was anything more than a mnemonic device being used at the time. The second portion was “the Trunk” section which shared the harvest of information available on that tree from Celtic Myth and Folklore. The third part was “the Foliage” section which shared spell uses for the tree or plant discussed that week. ![]() The first was “the Roots” section which spoke to the divination users and students of the Ogham. During the first year of this blog, the posts focused primarily on the Ogham in its “tree” form. These posts had evolved into three distinct parts. ![]()
