  1. ✨#35 of #85 Things About DIAS

    Ogham in 3D

    DIAS's School of Celtic Studies digitizes early medieval inscriptions - some of Ireland's most significant national treasures and our earliest written records, dating back to the 5th century.

    This project website was launched in 2013 by then Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht Jimmy Deenihan.

  6. I had the honour of contributing a guest blog for the OG(H)AM Project of the University of Glasgow! In my post, I explore the fascinating intersection of history and mythology by looking at Ogham, the ancient Celtic script, and its surprising role in Alfred the Great fanfiction. 📜✨👑

  7. #ArtWitchtober Week 2: Trees!

    Originally I was going to draw broom & fern shrubs which are associated with the Ogham 'nGétal'. But I got lazy + didn't have much time. So I used this fid's colour associations to colour in these colouring pages from an old magazine.

  13. #Celtic #FolkloreThursday: #Ogma mac Elathan, son of Delbaeth, is according to #Irish tradition the inventor of the #Ogham script. This `Son of Art` was not only extremely famous in the art of speech and poetry, but also an athletic `trénḟer`, a `power man`. In the battle of #MagTuired he fought on the side of the #TuathaDéDanann against #Bres and his #Fomorians.
