The Spirit of The Irish Alder Tree Danny Houlihan’s Irish Experience Show
Danny Houlihan‘s Irish ExperienceShow Notes
In this short episode, I take a journey back into the past to our ancient Ogham Calendar and to another one of the famous Trees which are still here today on the landscape of Ireland and a link to our Ogham Past and Calendar. The Alder Tree can be seen in many parts of Ireland, on hillsides, and like other trees associated with the Ogham Calendar was located near places of worship and settlement, a throwback to a golden era in Ireland of Pre-Christian Settlements of Culdees holy men and holy women and ancient Irish rights and customs and not forgetting our Myths & Legends. In the Ogham Calendar The Alder Tree or in its Irish name Fearan is a native Irish tree and in our past part of the Celtic Zodiac Ogham Calendar, Alder has been attributed to March 18 - April 14.
