Is is through research and consultation with peers and elders that I have come to the conclusion that the the Ogham tradition of Celtic witchcraft and healing encompasses the same quality of elements in the form of 5 vowels and 13 consonants. Each of the 5 trees correspond to a mystical energy of the shrub or tree. My research also shows that these elements are trees are symbols to a greater expression of character or constitution for within these symbols resonates an inner spiritual door which opens into an inner world that transforms lives of individuals when used correctly and from a place of respect and harmony. There is however the other aspect of the Ogham tree alphabet which relates to the 13 consonant trees which are also mystically and magically powerful in their own right. They have been orientated in ancient times to follow the moon calendar the 13 moons of the Year corresponding with the 13 consonant trees. The sky is always related to the father, the protector and guardian, in that analagy the 13 trees would be protector remedies from outside influences which could have caused the disharmony and this refers also to the Yang aspect of the energy. In traditional medicine it relates to the Yang aspect of the energy. The five vowel trees in turn relate to the mother or yin aspect, the inner strength, nurture and nourish, support and growth, when using the magical home recipes for healing the ancient healer would look at the individual and diagnose the person from the mother or vowel aspect first, they would then consult the energies of that trees to find if other elements from the circle needed to be added, the circle meaning the land or spirit world, which signalled an attraction to help. Once confident and happy that the trees had spoken, they would then look into the father or consonant aspect. This doesn't entirely relate to the person but the environment and the land surrounding them. The consonant tree embodies the moon time and environmental state of the Earth at the time of diagnosis and the person would follow the program for three moon cycles to complete the treatment. In conclusion find the mother or vowel constitution of the person first, then connect with the moon trees and cycle the remedies combined for a period of three months.

So, in 2001, he decided to leave his life behind and studied Traditional Chinese Medicine (which includes acupuncture and herbal training). He left Dublin and studied in Beijing, China and after that came back to live in Galway in the west of Ireland to set up his practice. Archives
