Some questions for you to think about:
Have you ever tried using an alphabet (ogam, runes, hieroglyphs etc) for magical or ritual purposes?
I did create my own Rider Waite set of Tarot Cards that are amazing. I am, just this weekend going to create my own Rune stones out of Holly Wood... I am also going to create runes sets to sell. I do divine for others though I find that I can not dvine well for myself. I find myself skewing the results to what I want. The only divination I do for myself is my pendulum... Very basic yes/no questions to my pendulum.
Have you ever thought about how magic works? Is it simply a matter of getting into the right frame of mind, or do such things as ogam-chants have a power all of their own? How might reciting a spell actually effect someone?
I feel that using runes, ogam, just like herbs, candles, etc, all strengthen your intention. For magic to work, you have to be able to put all of your energies into what you need or want to happen. All of these things help to increase and strengthen your intent and focus. I do some magic without... the I need help right now stuff but prefer, when there is a great need to create the whole ritual setting with the candles, herbs, runes, etc. This lends power to what I ask and also helps to keep me connected with the divine.
Practical exercise:
Create a set of ogam staves, if you do not already possess such a thing. If you do own one already, find a suitable time and place to sit and chant the names of the ogam. Try chanting in different tones to see which “feels right”. Keep a record of any sudden insights, visions or experiences gained whilst chanting.
Will do! Holly staves now on the agenda for this weekend!!!
these are not mine.. will post pics of my own after they are made!

I use the Celtic Tree Oracle for Diviniation and also always inscribe my candles with used Runes in spells.
Have you ever created your own (or purchased, or been given a) divination set? Do you divine much for yourself, or for other people?
