Ogham can be found inscribed on standing stones and in sacred places throughout Ireland. Over 350 Ogham stones have been discovered throughout Ireland. It is believed that Ogham was considered to be a magical script with inscription on wood similar to wands. However, no such wants are in existence to confirm or deny this. It is thought the Druids used Ogham as a type of sign language. The Ogham letters had no more than five characters, therefore they could easily be replicated using hands.
