Ogham Wish
“Creideamh ”
meaning "Faith", makes a charming gift for any occasion.
Each Oghan
Wish is hand-painted on hand-made paper.
This wish is
enclosed in a 11x 6.25” Black Wooden frame.
In the misty
past of Ireland, the first alphabet developed was called Ogham. It was a system
of slash marks crossing a center line, usually on a wide tree branch and later
on stone plinths. The tilt and number of slash marks indicated the letter. The
beauty of the system was that the branch could be carried – like a letter – or
left in one spot to provide a message. Used by the Druids and other early
Celts. Ogham faded from use when the Roman alphabet was introduced. Today,
Ogham is experiencing a resurgence of interest.
Ethel
Kelly not only creates elegant calligraphy Ogham, but also hand-makes the paper
it’s written on before framing. These have been extremely popular with our
customers since they are usually just one word – such as love, courage, joy,
music and welcome. In a short or long format, they make appreciated gifts for
your friends, the bride and groom, or your own home.
