The thing about Celts and writing is they knew how, but they didn't
write down anything important.  They used Greek and had been able to
write since way before Roman times.  I wouldn't doubt that =some= kind
of writing has been in place since at least the time of trade contacts
with the Phoenecians.  Why don't we know more?  Because they didn't see
fit to tell us.  Because the Ogham fans they carved were destroyed by
water and fire and invasion.  Because the Christians and the Vikings
were very very good at destroying or simply taking things that were'nt
theirs to do that with.  It's a wide combination of reasons that simply
culminates in the fact that very little from pre-900 ce survived.

The Carmina has lots of magnificent Scots material.  You'll find it
vastly worthwhile, assuming you can find copies of all the volumes.

Quoth Chris Felman, first quothing me:
 Er> They said Ann Foster was supposed to have been "one of ours." 
 How
                                                                  
 Thanks. I'll have to look up which one she was when I get my book 
 back. What about the cook? Tituba?                                
------------------------------------------------------------------
      Seems like I've read somewhere that the cook knew some voodoun. 
But I don't think anyone but Ann Foster was Wiccan, if indeed, the Dragonfest 
folks are correct and she was.
     I think that's about my sum and total knowledge on the matter. 
Smile.
