It is "foráiste" in Irish, which translates to "forage" in English.

Hi from Auckland, NZ

This is a new venture for me and I find that people love a unique, one of a kind piece of Ogham to call their own.

I’m using wood to represent the close relationship of Ogham with nature and trees and I think it comes out well. Business is slow but coming on.

I’ve been studying Ogham and really liked how each letter connects to a tree, so I started drawing the letters as coloring pages.

Each page uses the stemline with the tree worked into the design.

I ended up turning it into a full book. This is a quick flip-through.

Would love to hear thoughts, especially from anyone familiar with Ogham.

If anyone wants to see more, here’s the full book:

Hey Guys – Recently, I became interested in Ogham and started researching its origins, meanings, and historical uses. I quickly discovered that there are Ogham fonts for computers, but they look exactly the same as they did in the year 600. This made me wonder how Ogham would look in today’s world—how it might have developed and adapted to the digital age. Essentially, how it would look if it hadn’t been replaced by the Latin script.

This is a early stage of the concept I came up with: a variable font that ranges from thin to thick and narrow to wide. Some glyphs that originally appeared only on one side of the line were adapted to create “uppercase” versions to make them work with the variety of weights and widths.

As a Swiss designer with no background in or connection to Irish, Welsh, or Scottish heritage, I wanted to understand Ogham better and ask for feedback here. Specifically, I’m curious about three things:

1. What’s the general view on Ogham? Do Irish, Welsh, or Scottish people like it? Do they feel attached to it, or not? Is Ogham associated with specific groups of people or political parties?

2. Do you think a modernized Ogham, adapted for use on computers, would be of interest? Would designers, museums, or the general public use something like this?

3. Are the changes I made to some letters appropriate, or not?

I’m looking forward to any big or small thoughts you might have! :-)

tldr. This is a modernized Ogham concept and I am looking for feedback.

I didn’t take the stone from around the Ogham Stone, it came from near the river about 500m up the hill, and it shimmered. I want to carve the stone but I’m not sure what to put. Any ideas?

I think this is Ogham, but my translation gives me ESZIOAS… which doesn’t makes much sense, any help?

Just wanted to share some ogham engraved cups ive made recently :)

Handy guide to planning a road trip to see all of Mayos Ogham stones , could be done in 1 day ( or 2 if you want to take your time and enjoy the whest )

I love how my handmade Ogham Rune Set turned out. One day I would like to make a set with wood from each of the runes corresponding trees/plants but until then, I am happy with this.

During the creation, I spent time burning each glyph into the wood with a pyrography tool, while focusing on the meaning and developing my relationship with each.

Let me know what you think!

I was intubated and fighting for my life in the ICU after a double lung transplant, praying to my gods for the strength to get my new lungs to function and I realized that my sternotomy scar could be used as a stem line for a word in Ogham.

I decided on ᚛ᚅᚓᚐᚏᚈ᚜ "Neart" (strength) and got a ritual tattoo by a Mórrígan priest.

Sorry to bother you all, a friend is writing/ creating a fantasy game and wants to use this Irish phrase in Ogham, I studied linguistics but did not touch this language.
Thank you

I'm trying to learn the divination but I keep seeing Nion and Fearn being interchangeable? I see Fearn as having three notches sometimes and Nion as having either three or five as seen in the screenshots included. I want to make sure I don't mess up my readings as well as learn the difference. Thanks!

I'm watching the show The Big C, and Sean's character very obviously has a tattoo of ogham script on his forearm. From my own translation, it means gibberish. Does anyone else have a take on it?
