Standard Native Celtic Woods - Real Ogham Staves |
|
These wonderful ogham sets
contain the original 20 ogham sticks, each one
handcrafted from the traditional corresponding wood.
Truly correct ogham sets are extremely rare, if not
unheard of but we have gathered each and every type of
wood to create these beautiful tools to divination.
We work and play in the
ancient Celtic heartlands of Britain where the
Durotriges and Atrebates tribes ruled in prehistory.
These ogham staves are handcrafted ritual tools with
real Celtic soul, something with real spirit and as each
set is individually made, no two are ever the same.
Supplied with a
certificate of authenticity, information sheet and a simple
muslin bag - please see below for details of other bags,
sold separately.
The sets contain one each of the woods listed in bold
below.
Please note that
each set will vary slightly in shape, colour, texture
and graining. The pictures shown are past examples and,
while the newly crafted sets will contain the same wood
types and be similar in overall style and size, there
will be differences. That's part of the natural beauty
of handcrafted items :-)
Size: 3.75 - 4
inches/ 9.5 - 10 cm (approx.)

Customer feedback for
this item:
I
have been craving this ogham set since the moment I
first saw it. I received it today and it is every bit as
wonderful as the photograph and description indicates.
The staves exude such a feeling of ancient magick!
Absolutely worth the price, without question. The set
comes enclosed in a white cotton bag with printed
instructions. I am blissfully delighted with this
purchase and look forward to more transactions with
Spirit Of Old in the future.

I have wanted a set of your ogham staves ever since I
first saw them! And I am really drawn to some of your
rune sets as well. I thought it would be complicated to
order from UK but it turned out to be so easy! I will
cherish these staves. They just exude the spirit of
place. I can feel the sacredness of ancient tradition
when I hold them. I've never had anything like this
before.
Thank you:~) |

The Ogham alphabet consists of twenty
letters to which a further five were added at a late stage in its
development, probably later than the 8th century. The original
twenty letters each consist of from one to five straight lines or
notches intersecting a stem line. There is clear evidence for the
magickal and divinatory use of the Ogham alphabet from the literature
of medieval Ireland. Historically the symbols were used for
divination by the use of four Yew wands, although more recently, the ogham alphabet has been
used for divination by inscribing it onto small wooden staves or onto
discs of wood. One symbol is added to each piece and they are used in
a similar way to the runes.
They are often stored in a bag and a person will randomly
pick out a certain number of the ogham sticks or discs whilst focussing on an issue or
question. Ogham symbols can also be used to magickally empower an
object or spell, for example they can be added to talismans to draw
particular energies to the carrier or engraved onto candles prior to
spellworking. More information on the meanings of the ogham symbols
can be found here. We're also
happy to provide custom-made ogham sets in your choice of available
wood. |
