Celtic Ogham Ogham was a system of writing which used
horizontal or slanting notches cut on stone or wood to indicate letters.
Existing examples suggest that Ogham was used primarily on grave and
boundary markers. Evidence exists however, to support its use by Druids
for recording tales, histories, poetry, genealogies, and the like. In
addition, each letter was named for a particular tree, and a vast lore of
religious and mythological knowledge could be encoded in cryptic verse.
The names of the main twenty letters are the names of 20 trees sacred to
the druids.
