  • 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.

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.

Conroy submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements the degree of B.A. © copyright by Kevin M. Conroy 2008 Celtic initial consonant mutations – nghath and bhfuil ? Abstract The Insular Celtic languages, such as Irish and Welsh, distinctively feature a morphophonemic process known as initial consonant mutation. Essentially the initial sound of a word changes due to certain grammatical contexts. Thus the word for ‘car’ may appear as carr, charr and gcarr in Irish and as car, gar, char and nghar in Welsh. Originally these mutations result from assimilatory phonological processes which have become grammaticalized and can convey morphological, semantic and syntactic information. This paper looks at the primary mutations in Irish and Welsh, showing the phonological changes involved and exemplifying their basic triggers with forms from the modern languages. Then it explores various topics related to initial consonant mutations including their historical development and impact on the grammatical structure of the Celtic languages. This examination helps to clarify the existence and operations of the initial mutations and displays how small sound changes can have a profound impact upon a language over time.

  • 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.

This script which in its core consists of 20 letters that are made up of 1-5 strokes or notches along the edges of standing stones was in use mainly from the 5th to the 7th centuries, but its use never fully died out. Of the c. 400 known Ogam inscriptions, around 330 are found in Ireland, the others are found in Britain. This article describes the writing system and the rather monotonous content — namely personal names – of the Ogam texts, as well as the language as far as it is accessible through these texts. Keywords: Ogam stones and inscriptions. Primitive Irish. Early Medieval Ireland. Early Medieval Britain. Epigraphy. Resumen: La escritura Ogam (“Ogham” en irlandés moderno) es un peculiar sistema de escritura destinado a escribir irlandés primitivo (el precursor del irlandés antiguo). La escritura, que básicamente consiste en veinte letras compuestas de uno a cinco trazos o muescas a lo largo de las aristas de piedras hincadas, se utilizó principalmente desde el siglo V al VII; pero en realidad nunca ha dejado de existir. De las cerca de 400 inscripciones ogámicas conocidas, alrededor de 330 se han hallado en Irlanda y el resto, en Gran Bretaña.

  • Tree Ogham Project
    Postgraduate Experience Award 2017 University of Kent TREE OGHAM PROJECT PROJECT REPORT Joana Filipa Viana Canelas School of Anthropology and Conservation Introduction The Ogham [Ohh-am] is an ancient bardic alphabet composed by 20 letters, each named after a tree. This alphabet, claimed to date back between 2200 BC and 200 AC, is found on hundreds of stone inscriptions in the British Isles, mostly Ireland and western Britain, but also in Europe’s mainland and even on North America, long before Columbus. It's origins are uncertain, some argue it may have derived from the runic alphabet, the early Irish, Latin, Greek, that it has origins on the middle East or in West Africa; some argue it was used by celtic cultures, the druids or early christians in resistance to the authority of Rome. Still, the archaic name of each letter in the Ogham alphabet corresponds to a tree’s species, as well as a sound, and is strongly attached to an archetypical meaning, symbolic and historical. The Ogham was not a fixed but rather a dynamic system, it was not used as a spoken language but rather as a symbolic script, each symbol corresponding to an array of interrelated meanings or concepts – general yet particular to the individual, amenable to be interpreted independently while also translatable to other languages. However, since the Roman alphabet established itself in Britain, the ogham’s use became “restricted to the secret and magical realms, where it remains today” (Pennick, 1992). As symbols, the Ogham letters represent key tree species in local ecosystems and traditional livelihoods, species that are native to the British and European landscapes and that may still be easily found in woodlands, hedgerows, house’s gardens and along the river’s margins.
