This turned out to be quite a delightful book if approached in the right manner. Many Druid orders place a great emphasis on scholarship and as such this book might be missed, but I believe in a balance of scholarship and intuition, and this book is very much of the intuitive approach. The chapter on the history of the ogham is (perhaps necessarily) slim, but then the book goes into great detail about the ogham and the trees associated with them and how to work with them in your life in a number of ways. The book also has intertwined in the meanings a sort of original creation myth which was quite enjoyable on its own. While the authors sometimes make statements such a statement that the Druids placed great importance on Yule (not true as I know it), read carefully the text will add a lot to your knowledge of the ogham and the trees. We have very few books on the subject of the ogham and we must treasure each one for the information we can glean from it.
I've found this book to be very informative and easy to read. I've
been interested in Ogham for a while, but this is definitely the most
comprehensive and easy to follow work I've found. I also liked the
fact that the authors provide historical information along side their
own interpretations and opinions - something that is often lacking in
this genre.
This book is a must have for anyone interested in the Ogham or
divination in general.
