Celtic Wisdom Sticks is a powerful divination tool drawing on the ancient memory and wisdom of the trees and the culture of the Celts. By selecting different combinations of the sticks included with this pack and laying them out, readings can easily be made for yourself and your friends.

Four different ways of using the sticks are explained, along with a sample reading for each. Caitlin Matthews also explains the history and use of the ogam alphabet, one of the oldest known in the Western world. Further advice is given for phrasing questions to the oracle and interpreting the responses given.
