Treesong Ogham - Selected Corresponding Staves

This wonderful, handcrafted set of ogham staves features oddities of Mother Nature including rare natural twists, knobbles, double and sometimes triple tips, graining and, sometimes, even a little lichen. All pieces are carefully searched out to show the full character of every wood, shrub and plant type and they are slightly different, in shape or texture, from the Tree Speak corresponding staves which are generally more uniform.

If you're searching for the ultimate set of staves showing even more of the characters of the different woods, these are the ones for you!

What's the difference between the 20 and 25 stave sets?
The first twenty staves are the original, older ogham symbols. The last five (known as the forfeda) were added centuries later. Some people prefer to use only the first twenty, feeling that they're better as they're the original ones, other people prefer to use all twenty-five because they feel the extra ones were needed to complete the ogham and that it's missing something without them. It's all quite a personal choice really and there's no right or wrong.

If you would like to order the 20 stave set, please use code 20TREESONG during checkout to reduce the price to £100. For the 25 stave set, simply order in the usual way.

What's included with my purchase?
Each set is supplied with a simple cotton bag for storage, a certificate of authenticity, a guide to starting out with casting for divination, an information sheet with full correspondences and woods list, and an information sheet about how to care for your staves. The sheets can be in PDF form for easy printing (recommended, and they're replaceable when they get lost!), or paper for gift-giving - please add a note in the message box during checkout if you wish to have a paper copy.

Each set will vary slightly in shape, colour, texture and graining. The pictures shown are past examples and, while the newly crafted sets will contain exactly the same wood types and be similar in overall style and size, there will be differences. That's part of the natural beauty of handcrafted items :-)
