None of even the oldest Irish manuscripts preserved to us is anything like as ancient as these lapidary inscriptions. Thus, four cuts to the right of the line stand for S, to the left of the line they mean C, and if they pass through the line they mean E. This ogham script, as it is called, consists of lines, straight or slanting, long or short, drawn either over, under, or through a given straight line, which straight line is in lapidary inscriptions usually formed by the angular edge of a rectangular upright stone. Whoever the early Irish may have been who first discovered letters, whether from intercourse with Britain or with Gaul, they did not apparently bring either the Latin or the Greek alphabet back with them to Ireland, but they invented an entirely new one of their own, founded with considerable skill upon the Latin this was used in very early times by the Irish Celts for inscriptions upon pillars and gravestones. ![]() The Italian alphabet, however, was not the first to be employed in Ireland. It may have been through direct commerce with Gaul, but it is more probable, as McNeill has shown in his study of Irish oghams, that it was from the Romanized Britons that they first learned the art of writing. ![]() It is uncertain at what period and in what manner the Irish discovered the use of letters. ![]() ![]() ![]() Harrow brings all this in her newest novel, never shying away from the dark detail of the very real abuse, torture, and cruelty of the historic time of witch hunting.Ī hefty read with ambitious goals – combining numerous elements and plot lines: the rights and powers of women, estranged family, witching, spells, observational commentary on our current political environment, fantasy, magic, the suffragist movement, and the unbendable power of women raising women. ![]() I love elements of spelling and casting, I love herbs, plants, and the respect of nature, crinkling old pages found within leather tomes, libraries of words, animal familiars, women supporting women in unified and true sisterhood, all cocooned in a world of danger, peril, and the fight for women’s power. This is my kind of witchy read, of which I am admittedly ridiculously picky. But once the suffragist chapter is replaced with the Sisters of Avalon, the story really solidified. For part one I did find the plight of reawakening the ways of witching to war with the plot elements of the suffragist movement. It can be a lot and it did take me some time to warm up/wrap my head around all the chatter. Harrow harvests a lot of varying voices, sociopolitical juxtaposition, and historical precedence, with elements of fantasy, estranged family, found sisterhood, and, of course, magic all wrapped up in her signature web of poetic writing and detail. ![]() ![]() ![]() Above all was the sense of hearing acute.” (4) “And have I not told “Theĭisease,” he tells us of himself at the opening of the story, “had sharpened my senses - not destroyed - notĭulled them.

But Kircher is most famous-or infamous-for his quixotic attempt to decipher the Egyptian hieroglyphs and reconstruct the ancient traditions they encoded. He published more than thirty works in fields as diverse as astronomy, magnetism, cryptology, numerology, geology, and music.
