Ogam or Ohgam is the secret language of the Celts. Coded symbols with many different subtle layers. It was used for name tags, for marking boundaries and for other more mystical purposes.
As someone who has always been interested in codes and in communication and symbols it was of obvious interest to me. It’s something I have use in my art work before and one of the things Ian and I used in a whole forest series a couple of years ago (must see if I can find some pics).
Well it reappeared....as Tree Flags...more about those soon.
Above is the ogam for Beith (or beth) Silver Birch.
