The easy, yet fairly rare language of druids, Ogham was created by Oghma Grainaineach in early celtic years. Although the exact date is unknown, there is evidence that it was in use by early druids for handwriting purposes. Although Germainic or anglo-saxon runes were normally used for ceremonial purposes, Ogham was used to mark territories, pass secrets, and generally spread the word around. The language itself consists of a single horizontal line, upon this line are the small strokes that compose the letters in this strange runic form. The following is the alphabet for druidic rune, a.k.a. "Ogham"
You will have to imagine a line struck through the middle of the letters.

There is one more symbol, a letter that means Ph, and looks like a J hook, except just the tail comes off of the central line, the rest of the J that resembles a T is non-existant.

The beginning letters also represent the 13 months in the Celtic calendar, Thus Beth-luis-nion

The actual order of letters is as follows:

B-Beth - 1
L-Luis - 2
N-Nion - 3
O-Onn
F-Fearn - 4
S-Saille - 5
H-Huath - 6
D-Duir - 7
U-Ura
T-Tinne - 8
C-Coll - 9
Q-Quert - 10
E-Eadha
G-Gort - 11
Ng-Ngetal - 12
Ss-Straif
R-Ruis - 13
I-Idho
A-Alim
Ph-Phagos

If there are any questions, please, ask!
Enjoy!

Sorry for the confusion, the symbol for Ss is a frontal slash, with it going from upper-left to lower-right across the central line
