History of Ogham

Ogham (pronounced 'ohm') was the earliest form of writing in Ireland, existing from the 4th-9th centuries AD. Typically etched into stone or wood, it consists of a series of strokes along a line, where the strokes' quantity, length, and direction determine the letter. Most of the letters correspond to the Roman alphabet, with a few local additions, so in fact it's a translatable cypher rather than a language, read from the bottom-left upwards. 


Some historians believe it may have been used as a secret alphabet that Roman Britain wouldn't be able to understand, while others suggest it may have been developed by early Christian communities as a form of shorthand. Most surviving examples are found on stone monuments in southern Ireland, though there are also some inscriptions in the west of Britain too, particularly in Wales.

I loved the SLÁINTE sign. Great quality. The blanket could've been thicker and softer and I love the jewelry box but for the price it really should've been bigger.

One of the Best Black Teas

When I made my first cup of tea of this blend, it tasted amazing like it reminded me of the Classic Irish Breakfast Blend from Twining’s Tea Co. I have to say that this has got to be one of the best blends of Breakfast Teas on Earth.
