Tree Poghams: Poems Inspired by the Wisdom of the Ancient Ogham Tree Alphabet Edward Durand

Poems inspired by the wisdom of the ancient Celtic Ogham tree alphabet. Ogham is the ancient alphabet of the Druids. Each letter is a tree and each tree contains much lore and wisdom, mythology, magic and medicine. I put that tree lore into rhyme and rhythm just as the ancient Druids preserved their knowledge such as laws orally by putting them into rhyme and rhythm in the form of poetry so that they could be memorised. The ancient bards found deep wisdom in nature and communicated it in magical poems. This book keeps that lore alive with poetry that works on the deepest levels, delving into the magic, medicine and inspiration of our standing still friends. The trees were revered by the Druids as conscious beings that had the knowledge, materials and cures they needed. Each tree has a unique energy which can bring particular blessings.
