O
is for
OWL
My husband gave me this lovely OWL pendant.O is also for OGHAM
which is an ancient script used a very long time ago in Ireland.
The horizontal line in this illustration was originally the edge of a piece of wood or stick. Messages could be carried this way from place to place.Further information can be found here.
For more posts on the O theme, visit Mrs Nesbitt who hosts ABC Wednesday.
Have fun!

I knew you'd have something a little different and interesting. Love the owl. The Alphabet I was aware of, but it would never of occured to me for O. Brilliant ABC.
The owl pendant is lovely, I love owls. The other was very interesting. I'm going to read up on it with the link you provided, thanks!
Nice Owl from your husband. :)

That alphabet provided a good method of communication.
And what good news about Zoey!!
Younger Son still asks me, 'Why are you cleaning? Are we having visitors?'

That is a pretty pendent
What a lovely owl! I have never heard of Ogham but the photo of it makes it look very mystical.

I have never heard about OGHAM, so today you have taught me something new. Very interesting for a person bearing my name...
Hi!
My owl likes yours....
Thanks for let me share your old script.
Thanks for caring words about my sis, Miss Dragon. I'll be ok, just needing some time to get used to the idea of her absence. I'll be honoring her tonight at Samhain ritual here as we follow the sOUTHERN wHEEL.
Wish you a good day, loved your owl and Ogham writting (used to study years ago).
Kisses from Nydia.
Beautiful Owl pendent, I've never heard of Ogham - very interesting.
very neat story on the scripting. looks like the beginning of computer language.
The ogham reminds me an old Estonian family marks, carved on a piece of wood...they used to put the marks also on boats, tools etc.
Interesting post.
Intesting post about Ogham alphabet!
What a lovely pendant :-)
What a beautiful piece!
I had that same owl until one of the boys broke it making it fly through the house. Now I wish I'd had it repaired so we could be twins! ;o)
Old languages are so cool. It fascinates me to see just how ingenious the human mind can be in its efforts to communicate.
