The perfect gift for a friend!


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.

Awesome gifts

I rec’d my purchases in mint condition. They are gifts for my son. I know he will be thrilled to receive them both. I was very impressed with the
Ogham print. Awesome history and framed beautifully. And the worry stone is a hoot. I will be shopping again soon.

My Shamrock Key-rings arrived today & I am absolutely thrilled with them! They are so well made & such a beautiful Irish Green! I ordered 2, one to treat myself & the other one is for my friend. I really like the size too, it'll make it a lot easier to find my keys in the bottom of my purse!

Belleek Connemara Mug

I love my new Connemara mug. It's perfect. I'm not going to use it until the holidays , as this is going to be a Christmas present from my husband, even though he doesn't know about it yet. Going to christen this beautiful mug on Christmas day. Can't wait.
