Celtic Ogham Few Information.

The Ogham Fews, also known as tree runes or Druidic runes are a wonderful tool
to use to help sentient beings heal, make decisions, grow, handle problems, transform
energies and evolve. Historically, we dont know exactly HOW they were used, we
just know they WERE used. This system is my own understanding, based on general
research and inspiration from a spiritual being I knew as The Merlin and from
Dragons. This is, in spite of the fact, that these originated, according to mythology,
with the Celtic Being known as Ogma.
We find the trees being named, along with their attributes, in the Welsh Battle of the
Trees (Cad Goddeau). Robert Graves, in his book THE WHITE GODDESS saw them
as a poetic system of spirituality. Some claimed they were an everyday script;
others, that they were a sacred script like Hebrew or Sanskrit; while others claimed
they were a powerful system of magick in their own right, like their cousin, the
Teutonic runes. They have a presence, even in fantasy literature. Ursula le Guin, in
her EARTHSEA trilogy, hints about them when she discusses the sacred grove of trees
as part of this magical world. At present, many serious, dedicated Neo-Pagans, Druids
and Mages are researching and reconstructing their purpose and uses. Apparently
the Druids used trees to represent Universal Forces and archetypes. Each tree had a
special place in their world view and a special symbol to represent it.
Introduction to the Fews.

If you look at the Ogham Fews as symbolic images that the subconscious uses for
communicating with your conscious mind, it will be very helpful in your explorations.
They are actually more than that, but this is a good to start with. So how do we get to
know the Fews on different levels?
First, like the tarot, you need to have them about your person for about a week; have
them under your pillow as you go to sleep at night. This way your subconscious gets
used to them and they get integrated with your energies. When you are ready, draw
out a few from your bag and see what it is. Next, ask yourself if youve had any

experiences with the tree you drew out and what you know about it. For an example,
say you draw out the Hawthorn. So see what you remember as a kid about the tree.
How it had long pointed needles on it and white flowers. How you used to play under
it as a child. Then you might recall learning at the health food store how hawthorn
berry tea or extract is used to help the human heart be healthy. Then you may recall
hearing that fairies like hawthorn trees. So you jot down what you know on computer
or a notebook and start compiling what you are learning.
Next go to the woods and explore all of the local trees. You might discover that there
are mainly pin oaks in your area; and that rowan is hard to find but black walnut is
easy. See how the trees are part of nature. Take both an ecology and a botany class
so you understand the physical functioning of plants and exactly how they fit into your
local ecosystem. See if you can get a special plant walk from your local specialists.
Find a guidebook that discusses trees of your region of the USA.
Next go to the library, surf the web; see what has been written about them. Find
Robert Graves book, THE WHITE GODDESS. Find the Welsh story called BATTLE OF
THE TREES. Look into the local herb and folklore of your area as youll have to make
these real for your part of the world. These are gifts from our ancestors to those of
us whove wandered all over the world. Learn the medical herbal lore and what ones
are used in Flower Remedies. Some of these are toxic like the Yew, Ivy and the
Mistletoe. Others are used as teas or food like the Apple or the Grape. Dont assume
a plant is edible until youve researched it, even then work with a medical herbalist so
you get the right species and way to use it for those of you who may want to use
medically.
Meditate on the symbols themselves and see what they show you. Dialog with the
trees in your minds eye and ask them for knowledge. Offer to take responsibility for
a small area of a park or grove of trees as a gift back to them. Draw the few in a
glass of water with the intention of consuming wisdom and then drink the fluid,
knowing you are bringing knowledge closer to the surface. Make a cake with the few
drawn on it in color and eat it as another way of taking in this knowledge. If you
have connections to spirits from the old country, ask their help.
Approach them in a spirit of play and youll go far, as long as you keep a bit serious
too. But dont rush anything, enjoy your learning and your play. In time these
meanings and even the spreads I have designed and included for you will trigger you
into your own knowings and associations

Using Fionns Window.

Creating Sigils on Fionns Window is a lot like connecting the numbers except you are
turning a word or name into an abstract symbol of power. When you start, draw a
circle over the Ogham few that begins the word or name. Next connect fews until you
reach the last letter when you make a slash mark. Treat small phrases similarly.
Just create each word separately. If you have 2 letters that are the same, loop the
line.

Fewsets and their creation.

Sacred scripts throughout history, have been utilized to aid in accomplishing various
purposes, be they spiritual or secular. The resultant patterns are often called runes
or charms. In honor of the Celtic Ogham Fews, I call these patterns Fewsets.
Please note that these are not the same as Sigils, though they serve a similar
purpose. By the way, the Ogham Fews and Fewsets work well with Reiki, especially
for healing animals, plants and Gaia.
The Fewsets design can be linear or circular, graceful or precise, tiny or huge,
spacious or compact or whatever you feel led to do with it, depending on your
intentions. They can be carved, painted, designed on a PC, drawn on dirt or sand,
visualized in the mind and projected outward, they can be drawn using incense smoke
or with food color and eaten on food. Let your imagination be your guide. They can
be intuitively combined or spell out a purpose, goal or energy. Most of what you see
on the charts were intuitive combining, done in the past. I tend to place small dots
between fews, but not always. It depends on how everything looks. The designs
can grow with you. Some are basic and will stay that way. I have Fewsets that I
have used over the years, including Fewsets to be added to your ritual tools.
Here is an example of intuitively creating a Fewset. As an aside, when you banish a
negative energy (even if you ARE transforming it into positive energy), make sure to
follow up and fill the vacuum with a positive energy. Take the situation that you want
to change and place it in the center, then you surround it with fews for change. Say
you are tired of bad luck, and would like a breather from this energy for a while.
You also want to transform what you are experiencing now into good luck and be able
to cope while you are processing the shift. You want all this in a simple Fewset. First
you draw the blackthorn in the center of a line.
Next you add the Vine right
beside the blackthorn; this turns it into the Elder, a major transformation few, while
helping you find discipline.
Next you add the white poplar,
which you draw
over the blackthorn. This helps you put distance between you and the bad luck while
you heal that which is within that is attracting it. Finally you add both the oak and
the white birch. The oak gives strength and good luck; the birch brings in vitality and
new positive beginnings. (I like symmetry and working with mirror images, so I
repeat it at both ends.) Then since I surrounded the blackthorn with the other fews,
i have placed a Sacred grove at one end and a Mistletoe at the other just because it
feels right. Split them up if youd rather. So the final basic fewset looks like below.
If you like boundaries, you can place it in a circle, square etc. I recommend you
enclose your name and other special Fewsets. They can be on their side or top to
bottom. Please always add an extra positive Fewset to strengthen the positive
change you started here. Theres the bad joke from when I was first starting on the
magical/spiritual path. Nature abhors a vacuum, thats why witches ride brooms . .

A fewset that spells out your purpose can be created in the following way. Say you
want to bring the energy of abundance into your life and want to create an abundance
fewset. So you spell it out in Ogham: A/Silver Pine-B/Birch-U/Heather-N/Ash-D/OakA/Silver Pine-N/Ash-C/Hazel-E/White Poplar. Here is a square, continual, looping
version.
The Fewsets can have other symbols added to them, like the male dragon
symbol I added to the abundance fewset. Just make sure the energies of the
different symbols feel compatible and if the other system allows intermingling.

Determination of Spirits using the Ogham Fews.

Determination of spirits and entities in a situation, no matter what it is, can be useful;
especially if they are not seen by the Lightworker. This is best done using a link to
the situation, unless someone in the know tells you that things are dormant and you
can sniff around. The following are NOT traditional meanings and usage of the fews;
they were revealed to me in meditation. You need the reading cloth and only the
following Ogham Fews in your bag: Mistletoe, Beech, St. Johns Worts, Morning Glory,
Ocean, Honeysuckle, Heather, Grove, Willow, Elder, Yew, Oak, Silver Pine, the Wild
Rose and Blackthorn.
You hold the link and the bag in both hands and see their energies merging so the
fews can speak to you. Then you place the link aside and draw out a few or two. If
several come out together, that is a strong indication, but you see what all comes out
and stop drawing the fews when you recognize a combination. Note the Blackthorn
has a general meaning but with different fews it has different meanings. I was shown
the following combinations to mean the following Entities.
Astral Beings (General): Grove plus Hawthorn
Curses: Blackthorn plus willow &/or Beech (from a past life)
Demons: Blackthorn (Morning Glory may be present; if the Wild Rose is present you
may have a demon from a ceremonial magic grimoire or tradition (such as the Lesser
