Ogham - Celtic Birth Signs
In the legendary past Oghams were discovered by Ogmios, the Celtic God of Writing. The Druids and Bards, recognizing their magickal potential, restricted their use to themselves. The Druid calendar is based on the Celtic Tree Alphabet in which the year is divided into thirteen Lunar Cycles. The ogham ruling that period is your personal Celtic Birth Sign.
