US CUSTOMERS : These exact same ogham staves are usually available from our US etsy store Mythospheria (https://www.etsy.com/shop/Mythospheria) you will get them faster than if you order there rather than from me in the UK.

These are beautiful handmade ogham staves. Each ogham stave is made from the wood of the tree that it is associated with - so birch for birch, rowan on rowan etc.

The staves are on average two inches long and I've left the bark on these making each stave unique.

The staves were sanded (by hand) to remove a slip of bark and then pyrographed (burnt) with the appropriate ogham symbol, making them much harder wearing than oghams that are just painted.

The ogham is a celtic/Irish alphabet/divination system each letter or fed is associated with one 20 native British trees. It is used for divination in much the same way as runes, though less commonly known than runes.

The set will come with a (free) information sheet offering a basic introduction to divining with ogham and a basic (free) handmade draw-string bag made from up cycled fabric to keep them in. I have a number of gorgeous, lined bags in my Etsy store if you'd like to also purchase a fancier bag for your ogham staves.


All wood I use for my crafts is gathered from dead-fall or collected from other's prunings, I don't harvest any wood for my work.

You will receive a set similar, but not identical to that pictured.

1. Standard shipping includes tracking for this item to all destinations and will also cover any other items purchased in the same transaction - no need to pay for extra insurance for anything else. I offer generous postal discounts for multiple purchases made in one transaction - the discount will be applied automatically at checkout by etsy.

All items, regardless of destination are posted with a proof of posting, which I am happy to send an image of via etsy conversation if you request it that includes basic insurance, but NO tracking to use if, for some reason, the parcel does not arrive with you. Should your order be lost in the mail (a very rare occurrence these days) your order is now protected by etsy's buyer protection program.

2. Etsy needs me to let you know that no guarantees can be made as to the magical properties, associations or effect of any of the work that I see- they are sold as curios only :).

3. Since 2018 all my packaging is either recycled or plastic free, and able to be recycled as paper - including the tape. If your parcel included bubble-wrap, it's because I've received it from one of my suppliers and want to reuse it rather than toss it in the trash, it would be wonderful if you were also able to reuse any or all of the packing materials. Sometimes re-used envelopes are less attractive - but I feel using scruffy envelopes are better than not reusing them and hope you agree!
