Very happy to see this subject always love Celtic topics🪨🪨🪨

[@Inquisitor_Vex]

The author, Sir Terry Pratchett mentions ogham in his Discworld series via Nanny Ogg. Not the same as irl ogham but it’s interesting where he gets his inspirations from.

[@rippedtorn2310]

We find Ogham here in Scotland used by the Scots and Picts carved on some awe inspiring stones .The Gaelic alphabet links letters to trees and plants .Ogham is written from bottom to top with each letter scratched along the line .

[@wiseone5968]

Informative! I enjoyed learning about this old Celtic culture.🪨☘

[@zagreus4438]

Puca means ghost/spirit in Irish

[@AndrewNichols-g9w]

🪨 Splendid information as always Dr. Puca. Thank you!

[@drangelapuca]

So nice of you

[@explosivetwist]

would love to see an interview with John Michael Greer. arch-Druid and has written about the use of Ogham for divination purposes. also no stone emoji.

[@phillipbernhardt-house6907]

Something which might interest you (and many viewers) is the book by Erynn Rowan Laurie, Ogam: Weaving Word Wisdom (Immanion/Megalithica, 2007), which I am recommending here not only because I wrote the preface to it, but because it is the best practical/divination book on ogam that utilizes the best available scholarship and interpretations, and doesn't over-romanticize and distort what is known of the Irish or "Celtic" matters generally the way most modern ogam books do. It also uses the briatharogam or "word-ogam" lists (there's three of them!) for the divinatory meanings of the letters rather than any inferred meanings from tree associations, and explains that there are many ogam lists in addition to the tree-list associated with the alphabet in Auraicept na nEces and other texts on ogam from the medieval period. So, well worth getting if you're able! Old Irish is very difficult to pronounce...if you'd like some tips on it for any future videos you might make, please feel free to ask me! ;)

[@pedroarroyo345]

Another fantastic video angela, you delivery is always on point and precise and you always create the perfect primer for further study...chefs kiss ❤

[@drangelapuca]

Thank you so much!

[@crispian67]

Great video Angela! Insightful and engaging as always. Thx 🙏 Had to settle for an Irish Shamrock tho as I've no stone emojis at hand.. 🍀

[@frankjimenez4601]

Wow, something different, it's exciting to my mind!

[@judithwinner12]

Wonderful information and insight as always. 🔮🗿

[@drangelapuca]

Thank you kindly

[@christopherellis2663]

I like the explanation that the letters are formed with the fingers on the shins, along with hand on hand. The letters are named after trees named with the letter defined. It could thus be used for silent conversations 🪨

[@rippedtorn2310]

It is written from bottom to top and thus grows like a tree!

[@zacharycurrie3708]

🪨 thank you for enlightening content.

[@craigdelaney8737]

Thank you.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I have used the Trees in alignment with the cycle of the year. There's two times that are assigned to be the beginning of the year. The modern one assigns the new year of the solstice. But I use the start of October 31st. And I switched two of the trees to fit more closely their season times. Tinne is Holly and thus [In my opinion] is appropriate to the time of Xmas.. Thank you for adding to my information..🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🗿 (hehe! I was going to use a potato.🥔 Till I found a stone head.🗿)

[@snorribjorn5074]

Thank you again for an interesting and insightful video. 💎🪨💎

[@For_The-namesakesnake]

Dr. Angela looking lovely as usual I'd loved your breakdown on this topic.

[@Ashley-jp4nn]

Learning a new form of divination + involves ancestors = big win :) thanks Dr. A

[@yara_amanary]

This video popped up on my feed right after I decided to return to my Ogham studies as a divination practice. I use cards containing the symbols of each Ogham and I read them interpreting the positive/negative aspect depending on the reading. They give a soothing and embracing feeling. Thank you so much for all of your hard work! ❤️

[@drangelapuca]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@carolconn631]

Thank you 😊

[@art-is-awen8842]

thanks for your well researched explanation on the subject! just a couple corrections, as the scholarship on this is super hard to parse: the tree calendar is what is entirely a modern invention from fiction. the tree lists are sourced directly from medieval documents, each slightly different bc different manuscripts have discrepancies. there is debate whether this was an invention from medieval manuscript tradition, but they are an undeniable historical fact. theres also color and saint, etc. associations. they are just not the original meanings, as each letter-name is inherently (originally) a Primitive Irish noun. some are trees like birch and oak, some things like fire and sulphur. there are poetic kennings in the manuscripts that allude to these meanings too, and esoteric meaning can be taken from them. irish mythology mentioning Ogham staves being used for divination is a main inspiration point both Erynn Rowan Laurie and Marissa Hegarty have written well-researched books on the use of Ogham for divination, specifically using the original noun-names, rather than just the tree associations. highly recommend both books!

Terry Pratchett brings up ogham more than once in his Discworld series, I thought he was making it up 😅😂 thanks for blowing my mind.

😃 Hi, Dr. Angela! This video is amazing, I didn't know about Ogham and its importance, it just fascinated me and I thank you for your academic teachings! 😃 Here is my stone. 🏔 See you next time! 😃👋

[@waynemcauliffe-fv5yf]

I have a Ogham tat on my arm that says-ale killed-to remember my Irish ancestors and beer drinking. A monk wrote it in around 800 after a heavy night on the drink.

[@Mind-Over-Magick-ft8yh]

Dr. Puca, have you ever heard of an author by the name of Mari Silva? I have never seen any interview, or for that matter a photo of this writer on the occult. I thought if anyone knew anything about this person it might be you.

🪨Great video.

Please share my video around

@@drangelapuca I have done so.

[@ArchLingAdvNolan]

The letters of Ogham are represented by archaic words for the trees whose names are not from the modern Gaelic diaspora... the names are from an older era of Gaelic that no longer exists.

[@art-is-awen8842]

no, that's only true for one letter - Onn, which is a lost word for ash. none of the other non-tree related letters were originally trees, they have other meanings such as fear and sulphur and fire and iron. the tree associations are simply one of the many association lists from the manuscripts. there's the Tree Ogham, Colour Ogham, Saint Ogham, etc. they're a real part of the tradition but not at all what the words originally meant.

It's Irish not Celtic/ You can't even pronounce the names properly and are so wrong.Stop the culture appropriation of Ireland

[@FaoladhTV]

Erynn Rowan Laurie's book very explicitly disclaims the works of Robert Graves, not expands upon them. It operates primarily from the Auraicept na nEces Ogam Text as its main source. 🪦
