Learn about the early Irish alphabet, Ogham, in this SRS course and discover an innovative means of written communication. Ogham, used to express notes, directions, inscriptions and slang, was carved by early Irish into stones, staves, churches, altars and trees. In this first level course, we introduce the alphabet, its basic symbolism, and learn to use it in two traditional means – carving and as a bracken-language (codes placed in nature made from natural materials). The second half of the course introduces the use of Ogham as a means of augury, as used by the Irish. Course comes with an Ogham cheat-sheet. All attendees will be able to buy the official SRS Ogham Notebook at cost (4.75 off list price) – perfect for classroom notetaking, ogham casting results and thoughts about Old Irish culture.
