Ogham Staves

The Sacred Ogham or Celtic Tree Alphabet has been in use since the 4th century and can be used both as an alphabet and as a divinatory tool or oracle. Trees were considered sacred to the Druids and Celtic people and each tree was given it's own symbol to express and tap into the trees energy.

All Ogham Staves are made from respectful gathered woods in Devon. Each one has then been carefully drawn, using pyrography by Wolf.

Each set comes with a coloured ID sheet, with each image numbered. Wolf has also placed a dot at the base of each Ogham symbol to show what the right way up looks like.

Each set of 20 Ogham Staves contains one of each of the following woods, 

Birch - Beith, B, beginnings, renewal, youth 

Rowan - Luis, L, protection, expression, connection

Alder - Fearn, F, endurance, strength, passion 

Willow - Saille, S, imagination, intuition, vision 

Ash - Nion, N, connection, wisdom, surrender 

Hawthorn - Huath, H, contradiction, consequence, relationships

Oak - Dair, D, strength, stability, nobility

Holly - Tinne , T, action, assertion, objectivity

The above is a short guideline, there are numerous resources online and books that give ideas and more information. We would suggest you familiarise yourself with the energy of each wood one at a time and allow your inner knowing to guide you. 

Each set will look a little different but each staves is approx 9cm / 3.5" long.
