'Nuin' represents the Ash tree and it signifies the world. Your actions echo in the cosmos as a stone thrown in a pond casts ripples. Know you and the world are interconnected. Be aware of the effect of your actions. Your problems or questions are not yours alone; others have the same ponderings. Look at the question in the wider context and ask opinions. Endeavour to become aware that all things are connected. Balance your need with the Earth's.

'Huath' represents the Hawthorn tree and it signifies cleansing. You need to work upon the physical condition of yourself. To better yourself you need to alter diet, smoking or eating properly. A healthy body can be attained by diet and exercise. A healthy body means a healthy mind. You must open your mind to the self-imposed thickets of ignorance and false facts. Free your thoughts and cleanse your mind. However hot the problem, the forge heat of overcoming it in your spirit creates new and unexpected strengths.

'Koad' represents the Grove and it signifies the temple. You may be participating in a resolution of conflict. Misunderstandings can be ironed out if all parties will meet, work towards this. You must try to hold the energy of judgement, of life aligned to the values that are above reproach. By example do we teach others.

'Quert' represents the Apple tree and it signifies choice. Choice, while not easy, is necessary. Stop procrastinating, you will end up with nothing or an unsatisfying taste from each choice. Many paths of learning are open to you - choose one! Better master of one than expert of none.

'Oir' represents the Spindle tree and it signifies fulfilment. Fulfil your obligations, not for reward but because you must, honour demands it and the greatest happiness will be yours. Sudden realisation gives you the right and obligation to question authority. Develop your consciousness of the right relationship with others in the community and tribe.

'Uielland' represents the Honeysuckle and it signifies a search. Pursue your desires, allow yourself to experience pleasure - you are not a monk. By joy do we learn, not by abstinence of what we enjoy. The hidden secrets you pursue are not as impenetrable as you suspect. They are simply muted by background noises, home in on the secrets, put aside the distractions. Remain true to your beliefs and principles in your journey to the self. Follow the Honeysuckle in safety and joy.

'Eadha' represents the White Poplar (Aspen) tree and it signifies adversity. Whatever challenges you now face, you will endure and conquer with determination. You can bend and not break. Shield your thoughts from the fears and doubts about the odds you must overcome. A positive attitude will prevail. Do not give in to worldly pressures, great assistance is yours on your journey to rebirth.

'Mor' represents the Sea and it signifies a journey. Hidden knowledge is available to you when the Moon and Sea are full. These are hidden depths and resources, especially those with which you were born, those that you inherited. The Sea represents the lunar and the female, and it is a link between your place of birth and the lands to which you may have to go on your spiritual passage. This Ogham also represents that which is maternal and travel itself.

'Muin' represents the Grape Vine and it signifies prophecy. Unwind, if you then sense at a deep level that you must act in a certain way at this moment in order to deal with an issue; let intuition be your guide and do it. Allow your senses to open to speed inner development as you learn to place trust in them when they are acting strongly. Instead of using reason constantly. Open your inner self so it may harvest and gather all signs and omens that it is capable of understanding. Allow yourself this bonus.

'Ngetal' represents the Reed and it signifies direction. You are able to find order where others find and create only chaos. Put this valuable skill to work. Take charge. Your results are as sure as the intentions with which you began. Keep your target in sight. Do not be distracted. Your journey has begun, surprise encounters and upsets are only to be expected. The skills you overcome these troubles with are as valuable as the trip itself.

'Fearn' represents the Alder tree and it signifies guidance. Be aware of uniqueness in yourself and others. Keep your eyes open to see the unusual and acknowledge what is seen in another if at all possible. You will utilise something you previously overlooked. Oracular skills are not easy to acknowledge. The mind is unwilling at times to deal with the intuitive part. You offer spiritual aid and protection in a dispute. Let your intuition guide you.
