Do you trace your lineage back the English or Emerald Isles? Do you feel deep inside your soul that you descend from the druids and your family lineage is part human, part forest?

Why not wear it on your skin, with the original ogham alphabet of your ancient people?

Ogham was developed as an early alphabet in Ireland sometime between 300 Ano Domini and the first century before Christ. It contains twenty-two characters made up primarily of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal straight lines. So beautiful it was, the Irish took it with them in their adventures across the Irish Sea to southern England and Wales.

Some 400 inscriptions exists today as carvings on stone. According to the high medieval text the Briatharogam, trees are denoted by single letters. It is thought the early Irish were given the gift of writing from the trees themselves.

Show your heritage with an inscription in the first alphabet of your people.
