Please pick a letter to research and help us create our Healers' and Herbalists' Ogham!
This will be a fun project for everyone to enjoy! Please pick one or two "letters" you wish to research. Please respond here to let us know which letter you choose; let's not have two people slave over the same one!
**Beth - Birch** to be researched by Moss
Luis - Rowan
Nion - Ash
Fearn - Alder
**Saille - Willow** to be worked on by Mogh Roith Baoisgne
Huath - Hawthorn
**Duir - Oak** Withell Niall
Tinne - Holly
**Coll - Hazel** to be researched by Fedelm Cruithni
Quert - Apple
**Muin - Bramble (blackberry)** to be researched by Flidhais Brigantes
**Gort - Ivy** to be researched by Nessa
**Ngetal - Reed** to be researched by Flidhais Brigantes
Straif - Blackthorn
Ruis - Elder
Ailm - Elm
Onn - Gorse
**Ura - Heather** to be researched by Brighid Naifer
Eadha - Poplar
**Iodho - Yew** to be researched by Fedlem Cruithni
I'd like to see everyone post the amount of info. Basics should include:
- How to pronounce (or am I the only one to struggle with Gaelic?)
- How to identify/find/grow
- Medicinal/Homeopathic purpose
- Magical/Spiritual use and connotations
- Folklore reguarding it (lucky? Belonging to a god?)
- other common uses then and now (dye? walking stick? aromatherapy? decor?)
- modern arguments (Is Honeysuckle the true Ivy of Celtic lore?)
Other possible pieces of info you think are interesting would be great - such as a graphic, photo, meaning in fortune telling, use in literature...
