Irish Ogham Gifts

Ogham is the oldest form of Irish Writing dating from the 4th century, thought to have been widely used by the ancient Druids as a form of sign language as the letters had no more than five characters which could be easily replicated using their hands. This ancient Irish script can be found on standing stones and in sacred places throughout Ireland. Over 350 Ogham stones have been discovered. It is also believed that Ogham was considered to be a magical script with inscription on wood similar to wands. However, there are none in existence to confirm or deny this.
