Florida Native Plants Ogam
Florida Native Plants Ogam OBOD Ovate Gift Dana Wiyninger Starke, Florida USA July 29, 2012 Introduction Moving to a new region with completely different plants and climate, and having to manage a neglected forest meant I had to really learn about and examine the trees and plants on our property. (No relying on my previous knowledge of plants on the west coast.) Even with the subtropical climate, we paradoxically have many temperate east coast trees in north Florida. To make sense of it all in context of the Ogam, I had to seriously study and search to find the plants in my Florida Ogam. I often had to make more intuitive associations when an Ogam plant species wasn‟t found here. I had vivid impressions from the Ogam (and other) plants- I later used these to find my path through the many interpretations authors have offered. Personally, I use my own Florida correspondences when I see many of these plants every day; the impressions and messages are just part of my perceptions of the plants now. Since using my correspondences I‟m more aware of the varying time streams the plants experience and the spirits associated with them. I feel a conduit with the plants, and the resulting insights are particularly useful to me and relevant to changes going on in my life. Not quite formal divination, I receive guidance none the less. I feel there may be a healing practice in my future that will incorporate the Ogam, but that is yet to come. So, as enjoyable as it was, learning the basics of the Ogam wasn‟t easy for me.

Druid Book.Pdf
In 1649, English Scholars had found ancient Roman writings about the druids. When these documents were translated and written down there was only ten written pages. But the English had just finished their Civil War and was looking for a religion that was not dogmatic or materialistic. People started to investigate further to see if they could get any more information and this led to books being written by the scores. On November 28 1717, a group of twelve druid enthusiasts met at the Apple Tree Tavern in London England and they started the Ancient Druid Order which was the first Druid Order of modern times. This started the Druid Revival. Some of these modern druids came trying to change Christianity into a less dogmatic religion. Others like John Toland believed in pantheism or that the universe was alive. You had a third group like William Stukeley who believed that Druidic meditation and mysticism could be applied to Christianity. These people were called Latitudinarian Christians. So we of the Order of Drui are a Neo-Druidic Order Chapter I: Three Rays of Light Einigen the Giant, who was the first of all beings and saw three rays of light coming down from the heavens. The three rays represented the true name of the god Celi, the hidden spirit of live that created all things. In the three rays were all the knowledge that ever was or will be. Einigen took three rowan staves and carved all the knowledge on them in straight and slanted lines. Instead of reading the staves, others misunderstood and worshipped them as gods.

This script has preserved best on large pillar stones. Other artefacts with ogham inscriptions, such as bone-handled knives and chalk spindle-whorls, are also known. While ogham has fascinated scholars for centuries, especially the antiquarians of the 18th and 19th centuries, it has mostly been studied as a script and a language and the nature of its association with particular artefact types has been largely overlooked.

Activity Sheet 6: Ogham Stones
Activity Sheet 6: Ogham Stones The Ogham alphabet was made up of simple strokes for consonants - and strokes or dots for the vowels. These shapes were easy for the Celts to make, carving the strokes along a central line which was usually the edge of a slab. Some strokes would go to the left of the line, some to the right, to help tell them apart. The Celts started off by carving Ogham onto pieces of wood but then they began to carve onto rocks which became known as ‘Ogham Stones’. If you were reading an Ogham stone, you would read it from the bottom to the top. There are only twenty letters in the early Irish Ogham alphabet instead of the twenty-six we have in our alphabet. Some people believe that the names of the letters might be the names of ancient trees or shrubs, and they call it the ‘Celtic Tree alphabet’. Ogham letters along with their old irish names and meanings n nin q ceirt r ruis i idad “ash” “apple tree” “elder” “yew” s sail c coll z straif e edad “willow” “hazel” “blackthorn” “aspen” f fer t tinne ng getal u ur “fern” “holly, elder” “broom” “heath” l luis d duir g gort o onn “rowan” “oak” “ivy” “furze” b beithe h huath m muinn a ailm “birch” “whitethorn” “vine” “pine tree” Sometimes the vowels use dots rather than lines.

Babelstone: the Ogham Stones of the Isle Of
BabelStone Thursday, 30 June 2011 The Ogham Stones of the Isle of Man • The Ogham Stones of Cornwall and Devon • The Ogham Stones of Wales • The Ogham Stones of Scotland • The Ogham Stones of the Isle of Man • The Ogham Stones of Ireland • The Ogham Stones of Elsewhere The Isle of Man, situated midway between Ireland and Britain, has always been at a sea-faring crossroads, and over the centuries has been exposed to influences from many different cultures. This is well reflected in the relatively large number of monumental inscriptions that have survived on the island, which include both runestones and Ogham stones, exhibiting a mixture of Irish, British, Pictish and Norse influences. Location of Ogham Inscriptions in the Isle of Man Red tags mark the sites of certain Ogham inscriptions (a dot indicates that the stone is in situ) Blue tags mark museums or other sites where Ogham stones are held The Manx Ogham inscriptions are a heterogeneous group with a wide age span, some perhaps dating to as early as the 5th century, and others dating to as late as the 12th century. Typifying the fusion of Irish and Norse cultures on the island during the medieval period (9th through 13th centuries) are two unique monuments that combine Norse Runic inscriptions and Ogham inscriptions on the same stone : • Maughold Stone (MAUGH/2) • Kirk Michael Stone (KMICH/1) The Maughold stone is a plain, flat stone with a line of Norse runes reading "John the Priest cut these runes" running across its centre, below which is inscribed the sixteen-letter "younger fuþark" in short twig runes.

15 Life on Land Ogham – Family/Friend Tree Activity
Book: Seeds of Change by Jen Cullerton Johnson Global Goal: 15 Life on Land Ogham – Family/Friend Tree Activity The main character in the book , Wangari Maathai , was an inspirational woman, who dedicated her life to creating a better natural environment in Kenya by organising communities to plant over a million trees. We are connecting the storybook and activities to the Global Goal 15: Life on land. The aim is to encourage personal connection, local action and global awareness. A stark statistic is that only 2% of Ireland is covered by native trees, the lowest in the EU. Did you know.. • Irish culture has its own special connection to trees! • The earliest form of writing found in Ireland is called Ogham (dated around 400AD). • Lettering was formed by a series of lines. • Eight of the letters are thought to be linked to native trees of Ireland; Birch, alder, willow, oak, hazel, pine, ash and yew. This gives us an indication of the importance of trees in early Irish society As well as letters being linked to trees, some scholars have suggested there could well have been an Ogham tree calendar, so you can find your birth month tree. There is also lots of Irish folklore about the powers of each tree. Can you find your birth tree in the chart below? What powers and uses does your birth tree have?

Rune-Names and Ogam-Names and Their Relation to Alphabet Letter-Names Issue Date: 2013-06-18 Introduction
Cover Page The handle http://hdl.handle.net/1887/20979 holds various files of this Leiden University dissertation. Author: Griffiths, Alan Title: A family of names : Rune-names and Ogam-names and their relation to alphabet letter-names Issue Date: 2013-06-18 Introduction INTRODUCTION 1 A Family of Names 2 Introduction INTRODUCTION The alphabet is a house of learning. That statement could be left as the metaphor it is intended to be – or it could be dissected to expose the sources of its imagery. This thesis is concerned with the dissection of imagery and starts with the imagery attaching to the letters of the Hebrew, Greek and Latin alphabets. Its principal focus, however, is on the imagery that has been associated with two quite different scripts derived from one or other of those alphabets, namely the series of runic characters that has come to be known as the fuþark, and the series of characters found carved on standing stones, mainly in Ireland, and known as ‘ogam’.1 I prefer to use the word ‘alphabet’ only for lists of characters arranged in alphabetical order, including Hebrew, Greek and Latin alphabets as well as medieval lists of runes and ogam characters in alphabetical order. Initially, when listed in sequence, runic and ogam characters were arranged in quite a different order to alphabets in this sense, as is illustrated in the examples given in the frontispiece Figures A and B. The earliest sequences of runes have come to be known as fuþarks from the first six runes in the lists. The sequence illustrated in the frontispiece, however, is that of a revised version of the early fuþark as used in Anglo-Saxon England.
