Divination Ogham
Les 25 lettres de l'alphabet Ogham — connues sous le nom de fews ou feda — portent de riches associations avec des arbres, des saisons, des oiseaux et des qualités de vie. Aujourd'hui, elles sont utilisées comme système de divination : un ensemble de symboles pour la réflexion, l'orientation et le travail intérieur.
Histoire : Les Anciens Celtes Utilisaient-ils l'Ogham pour la Divination ?
La réponse courte est : probablement pas de la façon dont les praticiens modernes l'utilisent — du moins pas sous une forme que nous pouvons vérifier archéologiquement.
Les 400 inscriptions Ogham survivantes sont presque entièrement des pierres commémoratives. Ce que les manuscrits médiévaux préservent est un système élaboré de correspondances pour chaque lettre Ogham. La source la plus importante est le Livre de Ballymote (c. 1390).
Que sont les Fews ?
Dans la divination Ogham, chaque lettre individuelle est appelée un few (vieux-irlandais : fid, pluriel feda). Un ensemble complet de 25 fews est appelé coelbren dans certaines traditions.

Fabriquer vos Propres Staves Ogham
Coupez 25 bâtons à peu près à la même longueur (10–15 cm). Poncez-les lisses et inscrivez chacun d'un caractère Ogham — gravé, brûlé ou dessiné à l'encre permanente. Gardez vos staves terminés dans un sac en tissu.
Une Note sur les Fews Inversés
Parce que les caractères Ogham sont directionnels, un stave tiré à l'envers ou inversé reçoit parfois une interprétation opposée. Les inversions sont rarement "mauvaises" — elles sont des invitations à regarder un modèle sous un angle différent.
