Author: Hopman, Ellen Evert

The ancient Druids used the Ogham Tree Alphabet to work magic and honor the dead. Each letter is named for a tree or a plant and surrounded with medicinal and spiritual lore. For centuries this language was transmitted only orally in order to protect its secrets. Combining her extensive herbal knowledge and keen poetic insight, Hopman delves into the historic allusions and associations of each of the 20 letters of the Alphabet, with Druidic spiritual practices, herbal healing remedies, and plant lore for each tree. 224 pp.
