A tree-map for memory

The nineteen letters of an ancient Gaelic alphabet were once used to remember sacred beliefs, stories and medicine, with a quick introduction to something of this. Each of the letters represent a tree species and together they comprise a calendar in which an outer ring of thirteen consonants follow the thirteen lunar periods, and the five vowels mark key solar points. An extra letter for the 18.6 years of the moon's 19-year cycle is also to be found.

Each letter contains three sections in art, botany and story, so pick a letter below to lead onwards!
