However in some of the research I have done on my ancestory I have found that they did use this but mostly maybe stringing leaves together, carving the letters into rocks, wood, wands, etc. if you haven't seen this alphabet before I have a link to a sample, though I've seen the alphabet have more then the letters offered through this site. Ogham is the name of the alphabet for it was named after ...

I'm trying to track down yet another link that Lunacin mentioned about trying to connect the Tuatha de Danaan with a plate inscribed with Ogham. Unfortunately all I've found thus far is a calendar. I'll keep at it though.

Okay, so they may have used leaves and strung them together using Ogham, but what about actually writing things down? They didn't seem to get that ink, is made from the Earth. Just because it is man-made does not make it any less of what it was or had been. Paper/parchment; just because it to was created by man did not make it any less then what it came from originally ...

I know a lot about the way they did things. The rituals and the lore they kept. I know they way they were taught and the ways they learned. In todays society we are unable to devote ourselves so totally to a single ideal as they did. If we teach differently, conduct our rituals in city parks, live the life of a solitary druid, and learn our lore from books, does that make us less the the druids of old? The ones who spend years learning ...

Because as I've seen people say up and down in conversations about Druidism is that, "Druid is a title, therefore you're just a wannabe or a bréagdraoi, haha". Supposedly coming from someone who is of Celtic decent used the term 'bréagdraoi' when referring to someone who follows the same path as myself. The person stated that the word means 'False Druid'.
