An excellent guide to Ogham divination, it includes both lore and practical techniques for Ogham divination. (The technique using dots on sticks, though, gives skewed results. Make a set of "fews" out of popsicle sticks instead!) Unfortunately out of print, but worth finding.

Fascinating!
This is the first book I've read on the subject of Ogham and I'm far from an expert on the topic but from what I can tell this is a great introduction . There is a LOT of nonsense regarding various "pagan" traditions in print today but Thorsson tends to be a person you can trust to do the historical research and let the Tradition speak for itself. The ancestral ways of the Celtic people have been hidden and often erased from history so I'm sure it wasn't an easy book to write. He isn't afraid to fill in the blanks when its absolutely necessary (due to a lack of historical information) using what we do know definitively as a basis for extrapolation ( and his knowledge of similar Indo-European Traditions) but he generally lets you know when he is doing so and tries his best to keep it in the spirit of the tradition in question. In other words he doesn't create his own religion and then project it back on the Celts like so many of the "neo-pagans" but rather works to reconstruct the original tradition in so far as possible.

useful book.
Edred Thorsson is most noted for his work in the areas of Teutonic magic. This book represents a crossover in research and as a result the book is not as well researched as his other books. That being said, the book is one of the best books on Ogham divination at its time and continues to be a solid book today.
