Introduction to the Ogham ~ Creating Ogham Twigs

What is it that was created by Ogma Sun Face, the all powerful? What is it that has five sets of fingers as do five hands? What is it that goes first in small steps to the left, then small steps to the right, then in a diagonal, then right across, and then fits neatly into a Crane Bag? What is it that is formed with the fingers and the thumb, against the straight nose? What is it that is formed with the fingers and the thumb, against the shin bone? What is it that lies hidden within a poem, like a salmon in deep water, to rise only when the initiate calls? Why did the great beast fail to give MacVurich the wild fig, the aspen of the cross, the crooked yew, the blackthorn and the ivy?

In this workshop we will explore just a small part of the Ogham focusing on creating and using Ogham Staves called Ogham Twigs.

Coming in June - Online Course through RCG-I and WTI

The Ogham and the Seasons of the Sun
 
The ancient Ogham alphabet used as a calendar, both lunar and solar, is a unique and effective tool for personal development and spiritual growth. We will explore our connections to trees, birds, animals, colors, stones and much more as we follow the seasons of the year.  This thirteen week course will include three lunar cycles and one Season of the Sun.  The course will be offered each Season for any woman wishing to spend a Year and a Day completing the entire rotation of the Earth around the Sun.  Week one, beginning on the waning moon will be an overview of the Ogham, its origins and applications.  On the new moon, we will begin exploring ourselves and our connection to our kindred.
