Desperta do teu sono: Galiza: a Galtia, berco dos celtas.Por David Outeiro"Segundo o Lebhar Ghabala Erenn (Livro das invasoes de Irlanda, S II) a ultima vaga chegou a Irlanda desde o reino deBrigantia, a terra de Breogan e dos Milesianos, a atual Galiza. Foi Ith, filho de Breogan, quem alviscou a ilha desde uma Torre. Ith embarcou-se de cara aquela ilha, mas os nobres nativos decidiram assassina-lo. Os Milesianos, celtas goidelicos de Brigantia (Bergantinhos), embarcaram-se rumo a Ilha para vingar a morte de Ith. Apos chegar a Irlanda, encaminhar-se-ia a Tara para reclamar a soberania da ilha. Durante o caminho aparecem-se Banba, Fodla e Eriu; triade divina que representa as deusa-mae da soberania, a mulher do rei celta. Os Milesianos, com a ajuda do seu druida Amergin, vencem finalmente aos Tuatha De Dannan. Por causa disto, os Irlandeses sempre acreditaram ser descendentes de galegos."Postagem completa em:http://despertadoteusono.blogspot.com.br/2012/03/galiza-galtia-berco-dos-celtas.html Writtenby Jenni Irving, published on 11 May 2012 under the following license: Creative Commons: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike.

Estimated to have been used from the fourth to the tenth century AD it is believed to have been possibly named after the Irish god Ogma but this is debated widely. Ogham actually refers to the characters themselves, the script as a whole is more appropriately named Beith-luis-nin after the order of alphabet letters BLFSN.DescriptionThe script originally contained twenty letters grouped into four groups of five. Five more letters were later added creating a fifth group. Each of these groups was named after its first letter. There are some four to five hundred surviving ogham inscriptions throughout Britain and Ireland with the largest number appearing in Pembrokeshire. The rest of the inscriptions were located around south-eastern Ireland, Scotland, Orkney, the Isle of Man and around the border of Devon and Cornwall. Ogham was used to write in Archaic Irish, Old Welsh and Latin mostly on wood and stone and is based on a high medieval Briatharogam tradition of ascribing the name of trees to individual characters. The inscriptions containing Ogham are almost exclusively made up of personal names and marks of land ownership.Origin TheoriesThere are four popular theories discussing the origin of Ogham. The differing theories are unsurprising considering that the script has similarities to ciphers in Germanic runes, Latin, elder futhark and the Greek alphabet.The first theory is based on the work of scholars such as Carney and MacNeill who suggest that Ogham was first created as a cryptic alphabet designed by the Irish. They assert that the Irish designed it in response to political, military and/or religious reasons so that those with knowledge of just Latin could not read it.The second theory is held by McManus who argues that Ogham was invented by the first Christians in early Ireland in a quest for uniqueness. The argument maintains that the sounds
