I usually make a bigger offering of a whiskey or Irish coffee to Ogma on days when I have papers due or difficult appraisal work. My little desk alter is Brigid and Ogma and ogham. It is my desk that provides us our lively hood and where I practice my craft. It just feels right to have them together there.
"So Lugh, being Lugh..." LOL! Definitely one of great moments in that story. Oghma rocks! And what a great introduction! I'm curious, do we have any other reference of spirits in swords, or talking weapons, outside CMT2:162 ?
Thank you for taking the time to tell us a tale about Ogma. So intriguing as I am taking the Ogham intensive course and now I would like to set up an altar at my desk to honour Ogam. GRMA!
Everything about this video is why I love and continue to return to the Irish Pagan School. You all have such an intimate, lived experience of the Lore and it isn't just informative, it is inspiring. I was planning on taking the Ogma class already and now it is first on my list for this summer.
Geez your hair grows fast. I've been including Ogma in my daily offerings for a few months now, and it struck a chord in me when you described him as "a talker" because that's exactly what my experience has been with Ogma in that he does like a good chin wag.
He is pretty epic alright. I love that in the lore when all other Tuatha De Danann are removed from Bres court, there was no one who could equal Oghma as Champion so he couldn't be displaced.
Seems like the Mórrígan wants me to work with Ogma but I never had interest on working with him before. This video sparked some curiosity and a new perspective, thank you. 🙂
Thank you and Lora so much for the treasure trove of videos you've been creating. It's pulling me out of the spiritual slump I've been in. On my drive home today, I started thinking about teaching about Irish paganism as a non-native person. Lora's videos and classes about appropriation are wonderful, but I still often wonder what level of information is appropriate for non-native people to share and educate on if it's solely for correcting misinformation and ignorance, rather than profit and status? If we're running into resistance to watching, reading, taking classes from native sources, is it appropriate to share correct information and continue to direct people to native sources? Go raibh míle maith agaibh arís!
Would Ogma be a deity that would be helpful to work with for someone who is going through University? My major is data analytics and I have had a hard time working with Lugh (similar reasons as you've expressed). If not Ogma, do you know who might be a good deity to work with?
I do not have a dictionary of definitions, but I have a dictionary of synonyms, and under "Ogma" it is: Ogma=Eleonora, Alegria, Ellen de la Ferre, Hellen, Almariel.

Fantastic introduction to Ogma! Go raibh maith agat, a Sheáin!
Love these little videos exploring different characters in the lore. Definitely helping me broaden my scope!
I love me some Ogma. He's just brilliant. I'm so glad to have even more information about him! GRMA.

I am enjoying the learning...thank you...

I knew about how we got the language from him but I didn't know some of the story - thank you for sharing it with us
I think Ogma is so cool. He's my favorite god.
He is pretty epic alright. I love that in the lore when all other Tuatha De Danann are removed from Bres court, there was no one who could equal Oghma as Champion so he couldn't be displaced.
Ogma to me really feels like Dagda’s brother
Thanks for sharing; take care
Thank you! I didn't know much about this God so thank you for sharing this information. He seems extremally interesting~!

Can you offer some info on the goddess Flidais please?
