Welcome to the Celtic Tree Ogham (Live) E-Course! This is your training for working with the Celtic Tree Ogham and Alphabet system. Your course is divided into weeks with multiple sessions per week. It may seem like an overwhelming amount at first, but remember it is designed to be simple to follow along and take no more than a couple hours each week, and only 15-30 min at a time.

We will be meeting monthly to check-in, go over your course materials, answer questions, share experiences, and provide initiations.

Week 0: Start your Training and Meet Oghma and the Ogham

WATCH THE VIDEOS FROM MONTH 1 CLASS TO LEARN ABOUT YOUR COURSE

PART 1 goes through the course materials a bit.

PART 2 is an initiation for your new training path & an optional dedication of your Ogham tools.

PART 3 is a wrap up and discussion of this week's activities.

Optional: Journal your Experience – What was it like to invite Oghma and the Ogham into your life? Can you feel the start of your new path?

Invite the Ogham to continue to show up in your daily life. Ask them to be more present and noticeable so you can get experience recognizing their presence.

FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH COURSE MATERIALS

Download the Handouts for this course to your computer drive and/or print them out so you have your own copy.

Use the downloadable checklist – or create your own – to keep track of your progress throughout this training course. (Note in the live version of this e-course, the order is altered slightly to accommodate the nature of monthly live meetings versus pre-recorded content.)

Optional: Organize your course materials in a binder or in way that makes sense to you. Make extra copies of the printable worksheet for journaling by hand and keeping records of your progress. If you prefer, you can get a blank journal that inspires you to record your journey. If you prefer not to journal, or journal electronically that is okay too.

ACQUIRING OR CRAFTING YOUR OGHAM TOOLS

Spend time deciding if you would like to make Ogham sticks, cards, or other tools, or if you would like to acquire an already made set. Ask the Ogham to help you choose. (Suggestions are offered in tools handbook.) You do not need to have them made already to get started. You can make them individually week by week or all at once.*

*Note: You can choose to make or acquire your Ogham Set later in your training, then catch up on the dedication and blessing work of your set at that time. You are not required to have a physical set of the Ogham at all to do this work, but many find them to be valuable way to work with the Ogham.

Optional: If you have Ogham sticks, cards, or other tools already, you can repeat the initiation video and ask Oghma and the Ogham to offer dedication blessings to the set. (WE DID BOTH THE INITIATION AND DEDICATION IN ONE VIDEO IN THE LIVE CLASS)

THROUGHOUT THE FIRST WEEK:

Remember to invite Oghma and the Ogham into your daily life and ask them to continue to be present and help you become more aware of them. Notice any new awareness, insights, or changes that show up this week.

AT THE END OF THE FIRST WEEK:

Thank Oghma and the Ogham for being present with you this week

Optional: Journal Your Experience

Week 1 thru 25: Working With the Individual Ogham*

*Note: the training videos are designed to work with the 25 Ogham listed in the primer included in this course. You can limit this to 20 weeks if you do not want to do the extra forfeda. If you have an alternative version you prefer to work with, you can do self-directed sessions for that particular week using the ritual guidebook and printable worksheet rather than the videos of the week.

We will meet once every 5-6 weeks to answer questions and complete your next set of initiations.
