BOOK SIGNING AT EDGE OF THE CIRCLE BOOKS

This coming Wednesday, December 19th, please join me at

Edge of the Circle for the release party for my book Ogam: Weaving Word Wisdom!

The party will be from 7-9pm and I'd love to see you there!

From Green Wolf:

Numerous books have been written on Celtic Ogam.

What many don't realize is that there's a lot more to Ogam than memorizing trees.

Erynn Rowan Laurie (The Cauldron of Poesy, A Circle of Stones: Journeys and Meditations for Modern Celts, Not Your Mama's Tree Ogam) presents a much broader, deeper view of ogam.

Stemming from years of experience and a Celtic Reconstructionist background, Erynn writes with authority and impeccable scholarship. However, this is no dry, boring read. Her writing style invites the reader to join her as she explains the history of ogam (including some of the misconceptions and mistakes commonly found in modern sources), introduces us to each one of the ogam and their origins, and offers ideas for divination layouts. There's plenty more to the magic of ogam than divination, though, and Ogam: Weaving Word Wisdom makes it quite clear that if you thought you knew everything about ogam--you're in for a big surprise!
