Sending Love and Gratitude to all. xxx
I'm so happy to have you share Con's knowledge of Ogham. What a special and spiritual connection he has to the ancient past.
He really does. Glad you found it interesting xx
This is such important work, in ensuring that beautiful Ogham doesn't become a lost language!
Yes - great to see it revived for today.xx
Passing on the ancient knowledge is essential, quite lovely!
It enriches our lives I think xx
I enjoy learning more about the Ogham. I made a sort of Ogham about the trees in my local area with different symbols, mostly different oaks and pines, but also maple and birch. I collected sticks from all of my tree species and am in the process of burning their symbols on them.
Your videos are so relaxing as well as enjoyable and informative.
Thank you so much - glad you are enjoying them xx
What an interesting and enchanting talk with Con, I got totally lost listening to Con’s wise words, thank you both for sharing and igniting a spark of interest for me to learn more about Ogham. 🙏
That's wonderful - enjoy your new discovery xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden is Con named after “Con of 100 battles”? He’s an ancestor of mine.
Thank you Terri for sharing Con with us this week this knowledge is so important, really makes me think about my ancestors and what they would of learned me. My grandmother was Cherokee Indian she past before I was born. Another amazing Sunday love this 🥰❤❤❤
I think the American Indians and the Celts of ancient Ireland had a lot in common, very similar attitudes to Nature and healing.
I love Con's measured way of speaking.
He thinks carefully xx
he seems out of breath
I’m very drawn to this and I’m thankful for you and Con❤
It is a very interesting subject xx
Lovely to hear con impart more wisdom! ❤🌀
It is always a pleasure. Glad you liked it. xx
The Encyclopaedia of Celtic Wisdom by Caitlin and John Matthews has a good section on Ogham .
Another interesting session with Con. Even though I’m Welsh not Irish i enjoyed it very much. Thanks Terri
Glad to hear you enjoyed it. xx
My grandson and I studied Ogham for one of our homeschool projects. We took the alphabet and wrote our names and some simple sentences. Thank you for this video. It was very interesting. We were doing homeschool in Texas. 🌲🌺🌲
How wonderful - especially for your grandson. Great to hear about the homeschooling. xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Danu is my cats name. 🌲🌺🌲
I am so grateful that I found your channel today by random. It is pure treasure. Thank you 🙏
Thank's again Terri for another interesting vid with Con. Just love the anicent way, more easy then todays life.
Take care and keep going with your work.
Regard Ole.
Glad you enjoyed it and have a lovely easy week xx
Thank you for introducing me to Con. It is exciting to learn from someone with authenticity and such awe inspiring humility. I've been drawn to ogham for a long time and will incorporate it in my spiritual ceremony and art.
So glad you found it interesting. Glad to hear you will be using ogham. xx
Very nicely presented. Con is an interesting character. Thank you for introducing him to us.
You are welcome, glad you enjoyed out chat. xx
It's fascinating to note or add that these ancient languages and knowledge are seen in many modern video games, and they are very popular among the young who are into Medieval and Bronze Age history. I have been recently really interested in how ancient Europeans did things and how their beliefs were before Christianity. Fascinating how ancient Europeans were very much like the ancient people in other nations, in that they too were very fond and connected with Nature. Wonderful to see how the youth today (seeing in comments and in various videos throughout Social Media) are interested in knowing their family heritage and wanting to find ways to work with Nature. I always felt we can still live a modern existence, i.e. still be a technologically advanced society, without sacrificing Nature, but instead learn from Her and God to work with the forces around us in order to perfect technology that benefits all. We are part of this world, so it is in our best interest to protect and work with Nature, God and the forces of this planet. Thank you for sharing your experiences, insight and these wise interviews with us, Lady Convey.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL!! 🌀🍃🌲
Hello, I want to thank you for sharing this. It feels like my Nan is reaching out to me, she passed when I was 14 and I am now 42.
I have recently reconnected with my parents so I think she is letting me know she is happy about that.
We are Celts. Nana, Mum and I were born in Newport, Gwent, Sth Wales. My Dad was born in Redcar, his Dad was Irish and his mum was English.
Our family name is Fox, mum's maiden name was Lord and Nan's maiden name was Tyler.
We emigrated to Australia in 1983, and I was lucky enough to go back, it was such an amazing and mind blowing experience as the historical depth is so vast and different to what you see (and feel energetically).
And it was also the most heart breaking experience because upon returning we were told that Nan was in hospital and she didn't have long left. She passed within a fortnight if our return, I swore even back then that she held in to say goodbye.
She has always been my biggest inspiration, she taught me so much and I am so grateful for the insight love and wisdom she shared with me, and I love it when I see and hear her messages to me, she is still my number 1 supporter and hero.
Thank you for this magnificent video
Lian Fox ( Nan's name was Lilian and my folks derived my name from hers, her loving nickname by the family was The Dragon, she was so humble, warm sand caring, sharp as a tack until 83 years old, lived through WW1 & WW2, raised her 5 siblings to then raise 5 of her own. Grandad passed when Mum was 9, she was a war baby and the youngest by 9 years, Nan invented the dishwasher a long time before it was 'invented' my Aunty's told me she drew out a schematic drawing of her idea straight onto the kitchen table, no paper, just straight on the table! She was an amazing and inspiring woman, oh and she travelled through Egypt, India and Singapore with her best friend when they were in their 60's ! When I used to stay with her, which was pretty often, she was my mother figure, we used to have so much fun, she would tell me stories about the land we were from, and one last memory, she (and I when I was with her) used to volunteer of her local council helping people with MS. I always was so amazed at her energy, and wisdom.
Fascinating!
Very Special, Fascinating and Beautiful - thank you Con, Teri and Loel.
Thank you - very happy you enjoyed it. xx
Oh, I missed this one!
Great topic, and guest, thank-you both! ☘️☘️☘️
Such wonderful history. Thank you both for sharing.
So glad you found it interesting. xx
Thanks Terri , I learnt do much from the book you recommended earth wisdom. Definitely something to keep going back to all year round xx
It's a great book glad you like it. xx
Thank you for sharing that bit of history 🙏 Have a wonderful week 😊
Thank you! You too Empress xx
Interesting to hear Con's ideas on Ogham
I was wondering what you would think xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden I'll come up with a more complete response after I've given it further thought xx
Wonderful, as always, Terri! Thank you. And many thanks to Con. ~ Patricia
Glad you found it interesting xx
Thank you...I love to learn new things Terri. 💕
Me too - there is so much to learn!!! xx
Fascinating. Thanks to Con and you.
Glad you enjoyed it xx
This was really interesting and enjoyable, Con has such a wealth of knowledge. Thank you and blessings to you and all.
Great to hear you enjoyed it. Blessings to you too xx
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!🕊
Thank you so much for this video. I've been teaching Ogham in my small corner of the world (in the US) for a few years (mostly scout troops and college kids). I had no idea about the connection to the Roman Catholic church because I've never really studied the history of Ogham (in the same ways I've not studied the linguistics of the English language). This inspired me to learn more :-). Thank you!
Well it is not really connected to the Church, it is just that the early Church in Ireland claimed the land as its property and used ogham to convince the locals. xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden They seem to have a history of that sort of tactic. it was interesting to learn about the roots. For example, I didn't know there were stones that read top to bottom and translated to Latin.
Thank you for that! It was a pleasure to hear him speak❤️🤗🐝
Glad you enjoyed it. xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden 🤗❤️
Hi Terri 💚 I'm Commenting before I even Watch, Soooooo Excited For This "Thank You" With Love & Blessings 🌳💚🌳
Blessings to you too Sally - hope you enjoyed it. xx
I am pleased to see this!!! I had hoped one day you would make a video on this subject! Excellent!
So glad you enjoyed it. xx
Lovely talk today 💕🤠
Glad you think so. Hope you enjoyed it xx
How wonderful, a language truly written with nature in mind. Thank you for a great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I felt the need to touch the screen when the symbols showed up!
They are beautiful xx
Hi Terrie,
I'm so grateful you are able to allow us to meet con and listen to his knowledge on the Ogham. I want to read more about the Druid path and gain more extensive knowledge of the Druidic teachings. To get the book mentioned in my country is quite expensive. Are there any books you recommend I read? preferably books I can get in America.
I would really treasure your input.
I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Your best bet I think would be to ask Con via his website www.celticdruidtemple.com/ especially for more info about the Druid path. I don't know of any books myself although Niall MacCoitir's "Irish Trees" does include some info on Ogham. xx
A fascinating talk about Ogham, which I was unaware of. I wonder if my surname Facherty is in some way connected to the O'Flaherty from the 1600s. So many changes in spelling and there seem to be none the same as ours. Father in Law Charlie was O'Neil Facherty - lots of history to discover. Thank you xx
Could be - there have been mis-spellings over the years due to the fact that the admin of the country was English possibly. xx
💙 Thank you Terri & Con
You are very welcome xx
merci pour votre bienveillance 🌠
I've watched a handful of your videos and this one is my favourite so far. Enlightening! Everyone should watch this to have a new view of plants if they need. Just love it
One of the better UA-cam pieces on ogham and its Druidic context. GRMA!
TFR xx
Nice job Terri, I have been fascinated in Ogham for years. 🤗🍀
Glad you found it interesting - it is very fascinating xx
fascinating! thank you
So glad you thought that. xx
Thank you for the continued great content 🌿💚
You are so welcome xx
This is absolutely fascinating! I had no idea ogham existed!
What time was this script started?
I suppose most people wouldn't know as it has fallen into disuse until Con has revived it. xx
It is thought it was pre-Celtic, before the Celts arrived in Ireland. x
Oh thankyou terri and to con,I really enjoyed this so much, xxxxx,so very very interesting and so peaceful bless you both,Terri thankyou for all your enjoyable vidios and so calming but full with life also.x.hmmm, Jim half Scottish and half deevon(English).my dad george was born and brought up in Glasgow Scottish. Sadly dad has passed on now . I will be wondering about my beautiful birch tree,,it really does have a lot of bird visitors daily, insects many,,sometimes an adventurous bantam also.,well bye for now,bless you and see you soon,take care,xx
You take care Hetty and enjoy your beautiful Birch tree. xx
I got a set of staves last year am yet to learn them, Find them so cool :)
Thank you Terri for this info. Its very insightful to me seeing as during my meditation I get these images and I write them down not knowing what the symbols are or mean now I believe I have a starting point.
To understand on some level what is given to me in my quiet space. Much gratitude🤗
You are so welcome xx
Great video thank you for sharing. Always a pleasure to hear Con talking.
This is so amazing 😊 I really love this video, it’s so amazing learn all of this knowledge 🌙 😊
That's wonderful to hear. Glad you enjoyed it. xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden thank you very much ❤️
Fascinating , thank you ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful thank you🙏🏻
You’re welcome 😊 glad you enjoyed it. xx
Thank you this was so helpful and informative!
Glad it was helpful for you xx
Absolutely fascinating. I enjoy so many of your videos and find them imformative as well as entertaining.
Thanks so much - so glad you enjoyed it. xx
Fascinating...
It is such a thrill to make the translations xx
This is the 1st text I learned to read. Sadly I have forgotten most of it.
If I ever make it to Ireland I would love to visit
You would be welcome xx
I adore youve introduced Druid history! I’ve been on a hagstone gifting journey the last couple years, does he have any insight to the lore/history of these special stones?? I’m still evolvin my intuition on them. Thank you Terri for continuin to share beautiful information💚
You are welcome Hagstonequeen. All I know about them is, if you look through the hole, you may see a fairy or into the other realms but contact Con - he might have more information. xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden yes I have heard same lore as well :) And thank you I sure will!
Ohhhh Lol...this music soothes my soul...
Lol will be thrilled to hear xx Thanks Deborah !
Thank you so much Deborah! 💚
very interesting, thank you!
Glad you liked it Karen xx
Great Info! OR ~How to send a text msg for ancient druids 😸 glad i found your channel. blessed be!
Fascinating. I lived in Ireland as a child and absorbed so much. Perhaps the church is the Birch giving oral history and claiming it for themselves. The power of nature💜
I appreciate hearing the truth about Oghams and their origins instead of the "new age" meanings.
I believe that Con has done a great deal of research as well as looking at Celtic scholars such as Peter Berrisford Eillis xx
That is interesting stuff. I'm reminded of markings on Rune stones, seeing Ogham. Interesting too, that Catholic graffiti defacing ancient standing stones. Us humans are an interesting species, wanting to communicate intellectually. I imagine it would be a different world if we all just grunted and growled and howled. Thanks for sharing this interesting subject. Cheers!
You're welcome. Have a great week xx
Resurrecting our true history is so very important. The truth and the knowledge of the ancient Drudic culture and ways including Goddess worship and the ways of nature are all but lost to us. Learning the old ways opens the soul memories. The beautiful music and videography by Lol is STUNNING. The excellent questions by Teri to Con were very enlightening. You both found a true Druidic Teacher in Con.
We agree! With it all xx
Hello terri, a very happy goodmorning 😊
And a good afternoon to you xx
So Amazing ❤& beautiful
Thank you. 💚
You are so welcome Susannah xx
Dear Terri..........................thank you for the video......................I have a filler made from a 400 years old copper beech from beaubec monkery with my name in ogham...........a gift from my friend.............I have it all time with me..................Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel,Germany☘☘☘
How beautiful! xx
So enjoyed this video Terri it warmed the cockles of my heart ❤ as I’m sure the whiskey did your, cheers xx🥃🥃🥃
Ha Ha - it was a lovely smooth whiskey😃xx
very interesting
Glad you think so, I love history xx
Thanks
Thanks my mammy thaught me that ogham was our original language
I think it is a script rather than a spoken language. xx
I loved these interviews with Con. How do I find his book? Could you please direct me to his website? Thank you for your help.
His details are in the info box below the film - www.celticshoes.ie/ and www.celticdruidtemple.com/
A stone cellar was found in Vermont, where I live, that they say had Ogham on the lintel. I wonder if that was done by the church, as well.
Or earlier explorers perhaps. xx
HI! Thank you for another amazing vid. I'm cruising the links, but can't find where to purchase Con's book. Am I missing it (likely!.) I'm very grateful for all you do! And your team! xxoo -L
Hi - had to laugh at notion of a team - it's just me and Lol. As for the links to Con and his websites they are in the info box below and I will give them to you again - www.celticdruidtemple.com/ and here -www.celticshoes.ie/ xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thank you! A Force of Two!
🙏🙏🙏Bleudanair🙏🙏🙏
I read somewhere years ago that the Brits moved a Standing Stole in Connemara, and on the underside of the base of the stone was one word written in Ogham. Thief ! I’m not sure how it was spelt. Have you heard of Fionns’ Wheel ?
That sounds like a local story😃 and no I haven't heard of Fionn's Wheel although he was reputed to have lived at some point over in Letterfrack. xx
So interesting. I had no idea the church wrote Ogham on standing stones. Do you know where in Wales the one Con referred to is? x
Somewhere in Pembrokeshire I think. xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thank you xx
❤🧡💚💜
It would be interesting to compare this old druid script to the runes...
Let us know how you get on xx

This alphabet would work well in clay. It could be made into tiles and varses.

Hey guys sorry but I try to see real druids and what I found was that they all been hunted down to extinction!!! ❤❤❤❤ love those things video 🎉🎉🎉🎉
🙏🙏🙏🌈🌈🌈🕊️🕊️🕊️♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏
If your friend can spell out the name Tara (my Sisters name) I Will name my Dory (small rowboat) after her in an interesting way 😀
druids might have used this but they spoke gaelic right? so why learn this if you don't speak irish?
Interesting, the use of the Anglo linear language to explain a Celtic or pre Celtic may not be suitable.
The Celtic or Gaeilge language is Non Linear, the Anglo language is Linear.
It may be worthwhile to examine the 8 Trigrams from China, as this may be close to Ogham.
Go Raibh mhaith agat alig.
I'll never understand any advantage to catholicism...I know both sides well, I prefer holly and oak
I don’t believe the claim that the first Ogham on stone was written by Catholic Priests ! Sounds like Roman propaganda to me ! 🤘
I think so!😂
It’s not ancient it’s medieval and the Druids used a Greek script.
