Ogham and the Celts: Ancient Script, Modern Pagan Divination

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 one
of 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.
