Ogham Project: Learning from the Trees

If you know me, you know how much I simply LOVE the trees. What amazing beings they are–generous, deeply reverent, and so very thoughtful.

This is a Wisteria from Japan.

It will likely come as no surprise, then, that the Ogham have been calling to me quite a bit this fall. . . and so, I’ve decided to answer that call by collecting my own set of Ogham staves from the designated trees that grow in my bioregion and by authoring a series of blog posts on each few. After 10 months of developing a basic working knowledge of the Ogham, I’m ready to dig deeper, to meditate on each tree’s many meanings and messages, and to sink again into the literature I’ve collected about the Ogham.

I’ll post here on meditations, casting and reading techniques, as they occur. . .

Stay tuned!
