We are delighted to have Ogham Wish as one of our makers on Gifts of Ireland and they are an integral part of our framed gifts collection. Any way you slice it, there are no short cuts. It could also be starting the business of one’s dreams or mastering a field of study. For instance, Huath could be overcoming your own self-destructive behavior or getting over an obsession. Making it yourself is a good way to form a strong association with the staves. Huath is a task that you must go through the long haul to make happen. Choose one tree and write a short paragraph about it.

They are very often popular personalized gifts for Irish wedding gifts, for celebrating new homes and other occasions of choice. Find a book on trees and look up the different trees relating to the letters, learning a little about them. Ogham Wishes artistically celebrates Ireland’s ancient culture and heritage, making them the perfect Irish heritage gift for any occasion. A lot can be read from ancient alphabets about how our predecessors lived, what they valued, and how they understood the world in which they lived.
#OGHAM FEWS HOW TO#
You can learn how to read Ogham with the English translation under each piece.Įach piece of Ogham artwork is accompanied by an explanatory text outlining the history of Ogham writing with the Gaelic and English translations. There is opportunity to carve your own set of Ogham fews as the weeks progress and to learn the deep meaning of each, and how to use each for personal transformation, self-development and prediction. It is truly an authentic Irish gift for the home. A different Ogham letter or ‘few’ is studied at each meeting as we work through the Celtic Tree Alphabet. At her traditional workshop in County Roscommon, each Ogham gift is individually hand painted on hand made paper and beautifully framed in a contemporary black wooden frame. Ethel Kelly’s award-winning range of hand painted Ogham gifts continues to enchant and delight. The Ogham alphabet is often found inscribed on standing stones and in sacred places throughout Ireland’s rural landscape.
