Celtic Astrology Pendant
Although the early Celts preserved their traditions orally, they also developed a highly symbolic 25-letter written alphabet, based on trees, that was known as Ogham. These sterling silver pendants represent the Ogham symbol for each month; an accompanying card describes the attributes of people born under each Celtic sign. Please specify month. On an 18 chain.

Write your own reviewOgham pendants are historically inaccurate
Posted By: Richard McLeanDate Posted: 2008-12-26 20:09:57
"The "Celtic Astrology" pendants are quite attractive, but the purported history given for them is patently false. Ogham script does not predate 400 BC, so did not exist in pre-Christian times. The only known surviving examples are carved in stone, not trees or wood. Neither was there ever a Celtic lunar/astrological calendar based on Ogham. This idea was fostered by a writer named Robert Graves, and his "research" is roundly dismissed by modern scholars. For confirmation, google a number of reputable websites, including cura.free.fr/xv/13ellis2.html by Peter Beresford Ellis."
