Discover the world of the Ogham script, an ancient form of writing developed by the Celts in Ireland during the early centuries CE. Characterized by linear strokes carved into stone and wood, Ogham is oneof Ireland's earliest known alphabets. In this video, we explore its historical origins, cultural significance, and modern interpretations within Paganism.

We'll tackle:* The scholarly debate on Ogham's origins and its development.* The significance of Ogham inscriptions found across Ireland and the British Isles.* The role of the Book of Ballymote in preserving Ogham knowledge.* The modern neo-pagan practice of Ogham divination and its tree associations.
