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.

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.
