The Ogham ( pronounced OH-am or OH-yam ) , is also know as the Druid's Alphabet. The letters
correspond to their 20 sacred trees. Each letter consist of one to five perpendicular or angled strokes, meeting or crossing
a center line. The form of the letters allows them to be easily carved on objects , ie - wood or stone, with the
edge forming the center line. The 25-letter alphabet was supposedly inspired by Ogma, god of eloquence.
