#WyrdWednesday: `#Ogma mac Elathan, son of Delbaeth, is according to #Irish tradition the inventor of the #Ogham script.
In fact, #Ogham wasn't developed until the early Middle Ages.` Helmut Birkhan `Die #Kelten` #Celtic

It's not really a surprise to me anymore that I'm weird, but it still amuses me when something very concrete comes up to underscore it. Most recent example:

I just got an email from my LYS and it had photos of some knitting accoutrements. One looked like a slap bracelet with Ogham on it. "Cool!" I thought, and embiggened the picture, expecting ancient Celtic sayings about wool.

Reader, it was a ruler. 😅

#FindsFriday: `The earliest Irish writings are brief inscriptions on stone pillars in the ogham alphabet, a system of scores and notches. Some date from as early as the fourth century. They record only names and ancestry and say nothing about events.
This stone, now incomplete, is inscribed with the male name Netacú in the ogham alphabet. #Ogham inscriptions preserve the earliest written texts in the Irish language.` #Celtic

A look at the spiritual significance of Hawthorn in the Medieval manuscript Ogham tradition, and Irish folklore, and at how we can work with the Ogham today.

Irish letters in Ogham, the old Irish alphabet, are named after trees, which is nice.
