An ancient Gaelic alphabet once harnessed the means to remember sacred beliefs, stories and medicine. It generally contained nineteen letters, each representing a tree species which, taken together, comprised a calendar. An introduction to this alphabet provides some background information, or you could simply click below on any letter (B for beithe/ birch starts the year) to see if this mnemonic legacy still has purpose today!
