In this episode of Gifts of the Wyrd, I’m joined by Jane Matthews, creator of Ogham: Divining the Celtic Way published by Weiser Books.
We talk about the Celtic roots of ogham and Jane shares insights into why she created the deck. We discuss it as a divination tool, working with ogham in everyday practice, and connecting with them for meditation, guidance, and magical work.
We also talk about some similarities between ogham and runes — how both were used as writing systems, are used as tools of magic and divination, and developing a deeper spiritual connection with them.
The deck comes with a detailed book with Jane's insights to help you learn or gain a different perspective of the ogham. The book includes meanings, spreads, and insights on some specific topics such as relationships, work, and health.
Have a listen and get to know Jane and the ogham.
Ogham, Divining in the Celtic Way deck can be ordered from Weiser Books, your local metaphysical or book store, or online seller.
