Bird Rune Ogam

I dont know whether you all know me well enough to know , that my beliefs lean heavily towards druidism.. Both my husband and I ancestory trace back to the Scottish celts.. who many were druid.. Probably the deep influence i feel..
well anyway.. My first divination system otehr than. Palms were the runes..

I have had a passion for Runes for absolute years.. Ogam and elder futhark

So one day decided to re-create the Bird Ogam of long ago.. which i never thoght would be as big of a task as it is..
I have used many many resources and still am searchign for more... But the Book Of ballymote is the main source.. where i want to stay historically correct as i can...
as much of the runes history has been lost due to the conquering of Rome.. It has been a hard task..

But i am slowly but surely getting there.. Trying to marry History, and the tree Ogam with the Birds.. it is a fasinating study.. and I am hoping i will be abel to share a lot more with you soon.. I only have 3 definate positions of the birds who fit the tress.. and 22 to go LOL!!
But its not that bad really LOL!! I do have all the birds I am just juggling them to fit well with not only the trees, History but alos meanings to the character of the bird.. So many aspects to be taken into consideration..

I wont be making the runes here.. as we dont Have Rowan Trees where i live. and hard pushed to get it imported..

but i will be having on offer a downloadable PDF file.. when i am finished..

I am using PW as a blog for this venture.

I will place the positions and the birds up soon...

sounds interesting, I'm not sure whether I can work with runes though. All the sets I've gotten haven't rung true or sat right with me. So until I find a set that does, there is a nice wooden set which I do have my eye on but all the sets previously have a weird vibe to them maybe because that's they're crystal ones and I prefer wooden sets when it comes to runes gives them that earthy feelings I don't know? Something to think about

Personally I think wood are the best.
I made my very first set..and marked them with paint and then stained them to seal them.. Every now and then i need to repaint the symbol. But i just love them and wont use any other set still..
I have bought many different types over the years. crystal as well.. and none feel the same as my wooden ones..

My druid plant is Holly. I have some Holly now, I am going to make a lovely ogam set with them.


I have made lovely clay ones in the past and they feel good.. But because i have the feel for my wooden ones now, I cant seem to venture too far away from them

Obviously this ogham set has been on standby.. I came accross all my notes and book yesterday..and it got me inspired again!! I would really love to complete this!!
I truly do want to stick to what historians already know about this deck.. and then add the rest to it..
Gonna go back to researching and see what i come up with.. I need the book of the language of the Birds..
Is there an e book out? does anyone know?
