Ogham Studies We speak today with Christopher Conway, who had the pleasure of studying Ogham as a part of his education in Ireland. He has a company based upon ‘Ogham’, called OghamArt. Their web page is at: www.oghamart.com He can also be contacted on Twitter and Facebook. Origins Ogham is the first alphabet known to be used by the Irish. It is attributed as an Irish ‘invention’, and seems to be centered in Southwest Ireland. There are reports of its first usage in the old territory of the Falveys and O’Sheas in County Kerry, but that is before my time.... Well, it seems Ogham was around at the coming of St. Patrick, and some say much earlier. It started to decline with the advance of the Vikings into Ireland. This distinctive alphabet is easily recognized, as it is made up of straight lines, (sometimes you will see dots used as well.). Etruscan Roots ? There are some common traits with Etruscan and even with Runes, but no one has established its origins. ( Ogham and Runes are two different different alphabets.) The Roman alphabet of course is the one we are familiar with today. Thanks to some ‘Rosetta Stones’, giving Ogham side by side with another language, we have been able to interpret the ‘letters’ of this alphabet. As with any unknown, there are many hotly contested theories about Ogham, so it is an interesting field to explore. Our thanks to Chris for his informative interview, and be sure to think of him when it comes time to get that Ogham gift or wall hanging ! …….So end the notes from the Irish Hedge Row today.
