Celtic Cultural Alliance To Teach Me Alphabet ... Ogham Alphabet

After 11 years of blogging, I'm finally going to learn the alphabet, thanks to the Celtic Cultural Alliance. But it's no ordinary alphabet. That's too easy. Instead, I am to receive instructions in the Ogham alphabet, which looks a lot like someone attempting Chinese calligraphy after a few too many shots of  Jameson's Irish whiskey.

They are calling it Ogham Art Class to attract a few foo foos.

The alphabet lesson is scheduled November 1, 2017, at the Cathedral Church of the Nativity, 321 Wyandotte St, Bethlehem PA 18015.   We will learn the "Primitive" Irish language using a series of perpendicular and intersecting lines, written vertically, and read from bottom to top. We also get to create and take home our own painting.

The cost of the class is $30, which includes materials’ fees.

If you'd like to learn the alphabet, too, please visit http://www.celticfest.org/ogham_art_class or contact Marcie Mulligan at mmulligan@celticfest.org or 610-868-9599.

Using an Ogham transliterator, I learned that Celtic Cultural Alliance is ᚛ᚉᚓᚂᚈᚔᚉ ᚉᚒᚂᚈᚒᚏᚐᚂ ᚐᚂᚂᚘᚅᚉᚓ᚜ .
I typed in my name, which was transliterated to ☹ ÂŞŠĦŐŁĘ.
