Ogham - the Celtic Oracular Alphabet

The Celtic Ogham alphabet dates from the fourth century. The alphabet is named for Ogmos, the Celtic god of knowledge and communication. The alphabet consists of twenty letters, each named for a different tree believed sacred to the Druids. The proper name for the Ogham alphabet was Beithe Luis Fern, so named for the first three letters of the alphabet. Each letter is made up of one to five straight or angled lines incised on a straight base line.
