Hello and welcome to the 10th (lunar) month of the year on our ‘Celtic Tree Calendar’ .. which begins tomorrow (September 2nd) and takes us through to September 29th .. 🙂
Several years back I made a page on my old website for the ‘Bird Ogham’ – just those related to the ‘Tree Signs’. I am now in the process of adding them all to your ‘Tree Sign’ pages but as this is the month for Muinn/Vine I thought I would post up the bird for this month – the Bluetit.
The old Irish gaelic word for the Bluetit is Mintan .. the word beginning with the letter M as does Muinn for Vine – see All About Ogham for an explanation of these alphabetic connections 😉
In the Scholar’s Primer, the bird is actually called a ‘Titmouse‘ , which is the old-fashioned name for birds of the passerine family and is still the name sometimes used in North America.
So to sum up for this month, this gorgeous little bird symbolises for us, a fearless attitude, a powerful voice, control of the Ego and not letting praise go to the head 😉
Wishing you ALL a truly wonderful month ahead!
