Ogham · Oracle family
Ogham: from stone and script to oracle
Ogham in OmenHall begins not with divination but with the writing system itself: stone edge, stroke groups, material, direction, real inscriptions, and manuscript tradition. The modern tree oracle remains as a separate E5 layer and is no longer presented as an ancient standardized ritual.
Stone & Chisel
Material writing reality: arris/stemline, 20 feda, direction, and attested carving-technique families.
Read the Stones
Real objects, transcriptions, formulae, damage, restored strokes, and alternative readings.
Scriptorium
A working manuscript engine: standard write/read, witness-aware Bríatharogaim, later forfeda, and reproducible learned/cryptographic keys as a separate E2/E4 layer.
Ogham Oracle
Two explicitly separated paths: the literary reconstruction of Dallán's four yew rods (E3+E5) and OmenHall's modern 20-feda Oracle (E5).
