A Druid’s Herbal for the Sacred Earth YearThe Druids used the ancient Ogham Tree Alphabet to work magic and honor the dead, surrounding every letter with medicinal and non secular lore. Poets and bards created a secret sign language to describe the letters, every of which is called for a tree or a plant. For centuries this language used to be transmitted only orally in order to offer protection to its secrets.
Combining her extensive herbal knowledge and keen poetic insight, Ellen Evert Hopman delves deeply into the historic allusions and associations of every of the 20 letters of the Ogham Tree Alphabet. She also examines Native American healing methods for conceivable clues to the way ancient Europeans may have used these trees as healing agents. Druidic spiritual practices, herbal healing remedies, and plant lore are included for every tree in the alphabet in addition to how every is used in traditional rituals such as the Celtic Fire Festivals and other celebrations. Hopman also includes a pronunciation guide for the oghams and information at the divinatory meanings associated with every tree.
