Divinazione Ogham
Le 25 lettere dell'alfabeto Ogham — conosciute come fews o feda — portano ricche associazioni con alberi, stagioni, uccelli e qualità della vita. Oggi vengono utilizzate come sistema di divinazione: un insieme di simboli per la riflessione, la guida e il lavoro interiore.
Storia: Gli Antichi Celti Usavano l'Ogham per la Divinazione?
La risposta breve è: probabilmente non nel modo in cui lo usano i praticanti moderni — almeno non in nessuna forma che possiamo verificare archeologicamente.
Le oltre 400 iscrizioni Ogham sopravvissute sono quasi interamente pietre commemorative. Ciò che i manoscritti medievali conservano è un elaborato sistema di corrispondenze per ogni lettera Ogham. La fonte più importante è il Libro di Ballymote (c. 1390).
Cosa Sono i Fews?
Nella divinazione Ogham, ogni singola lettera è chiamata few (antico irlandese: fid, plurale feda). Un insieme completo di 25 fews è chiamato coelbren in alcune tradizioni.

Creare le Proprie Stecche Ogham
Taglia 25 bastoncini a lunghezza approssimativamente uguale (10–15 cm). Levigali e incidi ciascuno con un carattere Ogham — scolpito, bruciato o disegnato con inchiostro permanente. Conserva le stecche completate in un sacchetto di tela.
Una Nota sui Fews Invertiti
Poiché i caratteri Ogham sono direzionali, una stecca estratta capovolta o invertita riceve talvolta un'interpretazione opposta. I rovesciamenti sono raramente "negativi" — sono inviti a guardare un pattern da un angolo diverso.
