10. and 11. Rob Barton has been posting some interesting material on ogham, largely derived from THE SCHOLAR'S PRIMER to the ADF Celtic list. And, Puck, Heather Chappelle has produced a splendid private work, a magnificent synopsis in 100 plus pages of material drawn from THE SCHOLAR'S PRIMER and a number of other sources, including works dealing with health, incense, dyeing, herbalism, etc. along with a meditative consideration of each few. This is a real tour de force, and, in my opinion, indespensible for anyone interested in the topic. One of the goals of this site is to provide access to these works. You can try Rob Barton's through the ADF page, linked at the top of Solarguard homepage. Puck's Page has been down for some time.
