SynopsisA comprehensive and practical guide to the ancient oracle based on the alphabet of the Druids. * Describes the symbolism and mythology of the 20 "tree letters" and their magical correspondences. * Includes instructions on how to make your own Ogam divination sticks, cast the oracle, and perceive omens. * Provides historical background and bibliographic references to the Druidic mythology ruling this 1,500-year-old oracle.
