Celtic Ogham Few Information.

The “Ogham Fews”, also known as “tree runes” or “Druidic runes” are a wonderful tool
to use to help sentient beings heal, make decisions, grow, handle problems, transform
energies and evolve.   Historically, we don’t know exactly HOW they were used, we just
know they WERE used. This system is my own understanding, based on general research
and inspiration from a spiritual being I knew as The Merlin and from Dragons.  This is, in
spite of the fact, that these originated, according to mythology, with the Celtic Being
known as Ogma.

We nd the trees being named, along with their attributes, in the Welsh “Battle of the
Trees” (Cad Goddeau).  Robert Graves, in his book THE WHITE GODDESS saw them as a
poetic system of spirituality.   Some claimed they were an everyday script; others, that
they were a sacred script like Hebrew or Sanskrit; while others claimed they were a
powerful system of magick in their own right, like their cousin, the Teutonic runes.   They
have a presence, even in fantasy literature.  Ursula le Guin, in her EARTHSEA trilogy,
hints about them when she discusses the sacred grove of trees as part of this magical
world. At present, many serious, dedicated Neo-Pagans, Druids and Mages are
researching and reconstructing their purpose and uses.   Apparently the Druids used trees
to represent Universal Forces and archetypes.  Each tree had a special place in their world
view and a special symbol to represent it.

Introduction to the Fews.

If you look at the Ogham Fews as symbolic images that the subconscious uses for
communicating with your conscious mind, it will be very helpful in your explorations. 
They are actually more than that, but this is a good to start with.  So how do we get to
know the Fews on di erent levels?

First, like the tarot, you need to have them about your person for about a week; have them
under your pillow as you go to sleep at night.  This way your subconscious gets used to
them and they get integrated with your energies.  When you are ready, draw out a few
from your bag and see what it is.  Next, ask yourself if you’ve had any experiences with
the tree you drew out and what you know about it.  For an example, say you draw out the
Hawthorn.  So see what you remember as a kid about the tree.  How it had long pointed
needles on it and white owers.  How you used to play under it as a child.   Then you might
recall learning at the health food store how hawthorn berry tea or extract is used to help
the human heart be healthy.   Then you may recall hearing that fairies like hawthorn
trees.   So you jot down what you know on computer or a notebook and start compiling
what you are learning.

Next go to the woods and explore all of the local trees.  You might discover that there are
mainly pin oaks in your area; and that rowan is hard to nd but black walnut is easy.  See
how the trees are part of nature.  Take both an ecology and a botany class so you
understand the physical functioning of plants and exactly how they t into your local
ecosystem.  See if you can get a special plant walk from your local specialists.  Find a
guidebook that discusses trees of your region of the USA.

Next go to the library, surf the web; see what has been written about them.   Find Robert
Graves’ book, THE WHITE GODDESS.  Find the Welsh story called BATTLE OF THE
TREES.  Look into the local herb and folklore of your area as you’ll have to make these real
for your part of the world.  These are gifts from our ancestors to those of us who’ve
wandered all over the world.  Learn the medical herbal lore and what ones are used in
Flower Remedies. Some of these are toxic like the Yew, Ivy and the Mistletoe.  Others are
used as teas or food like the Apple or the Grape.  Don’t assume a plant is edible until
you’ve researched it, even then work with a medical herbalist so you get the right species
and way to use it for those of you who may want to use medically.

Meditate on the symbols themselves and see what they show you.  Dialog with the trees in
your minds eye and ask them for knowledge.  O er to take responsibility for a small area
of a park or grove of trees as a gift back to them.   Draw the few in a glass of water with the
intention of consuming wisdom and then drink the uid, knowing you are bringing
knowledge closer to the surface.  Make a cake with the few drawn on it in color and eat it
as another way of taking in this knowledge.   If you have connections to spirits from the
old country, ask their help.

Approach them in a spirit of play and you’ll go far, as long as you keep a bit serious too. 
But don’t rush anything, enjoy your learning and your play.  In time these meanings and
even the spreads I have designed and included for you will trigger you into your own
knowings and associations

Creating Sigils on Fionns Window is a lot like connecting the numbers except you are
turning a word or name into an abstract symbol of power.   When you start, draw a circle
over the Ogham few that begins the word or name.   Next connect fews until you reach the
last letter when you make a slash mark.   Treat small phrases similarly.  Just create each
word separately.  If you have 2 letters that are the same, loop the line.

Fewsets and their creation.

Sacred scripts throughout history, have been utilized to aid in accomplishing various
purposes, be they spiritual or secular.  The resultant patterns are often called “runes” or
“charms”.  In honor of the Celtic Ogham Fews, I call these patterns “Fewsets”.   Please
note that these are not the same as Sigils, though they serve a similar purpose.   By the
way, the Ogham Fews and Fewsets work well with Reiki, especially for healing animals,
plants and Gaia.
The Fewsets’ design can be linear or circular, graceful or precise, tiny or huge, spacious or
compact or whatever you feel led to do with it, depending on your intentions.   They can
be carved, painted, designed on a PC, drawn on dirt or sand, visualized in the mind and
projected outward, they can be drawn using incense smoke or with food color and eaten
on food.  Let your imagination be your guide.  They can be intuitively combined or spell
out a purpose, goal or energy.   Most of what you see on the charts were intuitive
combining, done in the past.   I tend to place small dots between fews, but not always.   It
depends on how everything looks.   The designs can grow with you.  Some are basic and
will stay that way.  I have Fewsets that I have used over the years, including Fewsets to be
added to your ritual tools.
Here is an example of intuitively creating a Fewset.    As an aside, when you banish a
negative energy (even if you ARE transforming it into positive energy), make sure to
follow up and ll the vacuum with a positive energy. Take the situation that you want to
change and place it in the center, then you surround it with fews for change.  Say you are
tired of bad luck, and would like a breather from this energy for a while.    You also want to
transform what you are experiencing now into good luck and be able to cope while you are
processing the shift.  You want all this in a simple Fewset.   First you draw the blackthorn
in the center of a line.          Next you add the Vine right beside the blackthorn;  this turns it
into the Elder, a major transformation few, while helping you nd discipline.       Next you
add the white poplar,      which you draw over the blackthorn.  This helps you put distance
between you and the bad luck while you heal that which is within that is attracting it.   
Finally you add both the oak and the white birch.   The oak gives strength and good luck;
the birch brings in vitality and new positive beginnings.   (I like symmetry and working
with mirror images, so I repeat it at both ends.)  Then since I “surrounded” the
blackthorn with the other fews, i have placed a Sacred grove at one end and a Mistletoe at
the other just because it feels right.  Split them up if you’d rather.  So the nal basic
fewset looks like below.    If you like boundaries, you can place it in a circle, square etc.  I
recommend you enclose your name and other special Fewsets.  They can be on their side
or top to bottom.   Please always add an extra positive Fewset to strengthen the positive
change you started here.  There’s the bad joke from when I was rst starting on the
magical/spiritual path. “Nature abhors a vacuum, that’s why witches ride brooms ….” .

A fewset that spells out your purpose can be created in the following way.   Say you want
to bring the energy of abundance into your life and want to create an abundance fewset.  
So you spell it out in Ogham: A/Silver Pine-B/Birch-U/Heather-N/Ash-D/Oak-A/Silver
Pine-N/Ash-C/Hazel-E/White Poplar.   Here is a square, continual, looping version.     
The Fewsets can have other symbols added to them, like the male dragon symbol I added
to the abundance fewset.    Just make sure the energies of the di erent symbols feel
compatible and if the other system allows intermingling.
Determination of Spirits using the Ogham Fews.

Determination of spirits and entities in a situation, no matter what it is, can be useful; 
especially if they are not seen by the Lightworker.   This is best done using a link to the
situation, unless someone in the know tells you that things are dormant and you can sni
around.  The following are NOT traditional meanings and usage of the fews; they were
revealed to me in meditation.    You need the reading cloth and only the following Ogham
Fews in your bag:  Mistletoe, Beech, St. Johns Worts, Morning Glory, Ocean, Honeysuckle,
Heather, Grove, Willow, Elder, Yew, Oak, Silver Pine, the Wild Rose and Blackthorn.
You hold the link and the bag in both hands and see their energies merging so the fews
can speak to you.  Then you place the link aside and draw out a few or two.  If several come
out together, that is a strong indication, but you see what all comes out and stop drawing
the fews when you recognize a combination.  Note the Blackthorn has a general meaning
but with di erent fews it has di erent meanings.  I was shown the following
