| The name "Ogham" or "Ogam" was derived from that of the Celtic god of literature and eloquence, Ogma,
who is credited with it's invention. Ogma has the epithets "honey mouthed" and "eloquent".
He has been linked with the Gaulish God Ogmios whose "golden speech" was recorded in Gallic artwork as a
fine gold chain linking the tip of his tongue to ears of a group of followers. These "Standing Stones" can be seen
throughout the Dingle Peninsula, in Co Kerry, Ireland.
