Strength - Neart (N-y-art) in Irish
We all know that strength can come from many places so whether it’s for lifting boulders like Oisín or for stealing the Brown Bull of Cooley like Queen Maedbh, we all have ancient strength we can draw from when we need to and a Suncatcher from Artwood is a great way to remind yourself or a loved one of that vitality.

Artwood is excited to introduce our Ancient Ogham collection. For years we have been fascinated by this mystical and beautiful ancient form of Celtic writing and now you can bring these historic glyphs into your own home. We have chosen a special selection of meaningful words from the Celtic tradition to inscribe onto our Suncatchers and we know you will love them just as much as we do.
We also offer the following phrases in Ogham:
Courage, Family, Friendship, Home, Life, Light and Love.

Our Ogham inspired suncatchers come in a selection of sizes, and crystal arrangements.

If you have your own special message that you would like inscribed on our suncatchers you can find our personalized listings here:

The finer details:
The Medium wooden moon is approximately 5" (120mm) long at its longest part.
The Medium Suncatcher comes with a choice of crystals, namely:
• Angel: a 0.8" (20mm) ∅ Sphere Asfour crystal with 4 Asfour octagons as wings, a 0.4"(10mm)∅ Asfour crystal head and a Preciosa crystal crown (all fairies need crystal crowns), or
• Sphere: a 1.2" (30mm) ∅ Sphere Asfour crystal (round ball shape), or
• Sun: a 1.2" (30mm)∅ Sun Asfour crystal (flat disc shape)

The Large wooden moon is approximately 6.5" (165mm) long at its longest part.
The Large Suncatcher comes with a choice of crystals, namely:
• Angel: a 1.2" (30mm) ∅ Sphere Asfour crystal with Tibetan silver wings, a 0.5"(14mm)∅ Asfour crystal head and a Preciosa crystal crown, or
• Sphere: a 1.5" (40mm) ∅ Sphere Asfour crystal (round ball shape), or
• Sun: a 1.75" (45mm)∅ Sun Asfour crystal (flat disc shape)

We protect the wood by using approximately 4-6 coats of Danish Oil. We also use extremely strong, high quality braided thread to hang our suncatchers. Moreover, this string does not degrade in sunlight and therefore is ideal for hanging in a sunny window.

The string measures approx 11" (280)mm from the top of the moon to the metal hoop which is used for hanging.

Please be aware that we have designed our suncatchers for indoor use and have not tested them outdoors.

What else do I need to know about the Ogham Inspired Moon Suncatcher?

Because all wood is unique and varies slightly, your exact suncatcher may differ from the above images in this listing. Without a doubt, we will make sure that each and every piece is of equal natural beauty. We aim for 100% satisfaction with our Ogham Inspired Gift from Ireland.

In Irish Folklore, wood has undeniably a strong relationship with the Irish people. They believed the trees to be sacred and magical. In addition, each tree has its own inherent properties.
BEECH has long been associated with ancient knowledge. It is said to act as a “guidance from the past” and can help to gain insight. In the home, it is good for healing, meditation and protection.

Ogham is an ancient form of Celtic writing using dashes and lines from a central marking and is usually read from top to bottom. Used mostly in Ireland and Wales from about 400 - 900 AD, Ogham is sometimes called the “Celtic Tree Alphabet” as within the language individual letters can be ascribed to the names of various trees that would be native to Ireland making it a natural choice for us here in Artwood.
