ᚑᚌᚆᚐᚋ | Ireland's Forgotten Alphabet

Описание: Ogham (ogam) is an ancient Irish alphabet found on ogham stones across Ireland, the west coast of Britain, and much of Scotland. Long considered a relic of Ireland’s pagan past, ogham has been a perpetual topic of fascination for scholars and laymen alike, finding particular popularity among modern neopagans – and featuring in everything from Assassins Creed to the Eurovison. But how does ogham work, when did it emerge, and for what was it actually used?
