No spoon is the Same. They are completely one-of, from the foraged piece to the workshop to be turned by Alchemy into a Spoon connected to your Month of Birth or Tree that resonates just with you.

Brass Spoons created from the Celtic Tree Ogham or Ogham Alphabet using real cuttings from the different Trees. Twigs for the handles with the corresponding leaf underneath the bowl. Powerful spoons returning us to our roots and the Natural world.

The Celtic Tree Ogham was created by the Druids as a secret language around 3rd Century CE. The letters were a series of notches or Runes associated with different trees and the first alphabet known to this country. Oghams were used as divination tools. These were sticks from the different trees with the ogham symbol or Rune inscribed on them and when they were thrown on the ground, studying the symbolism of where they fell was an art form that only a druid could read.
