Courage – Misneach (M-ih-sh-n-uh-k)
For thousands of years the Celtic tribes of Ireland have been known for their courage in battle, love and loss. Do you have a person in mind when you hear the word “courage”? If so, we think this would be an excellent gift for that courageous soul.

Our “Courage” Ogham Inspired Suncatchers come in a selection of sizes and crystal arrangements.

The finer details:

We protect the wood by using approximately 4-6 coats of Danish Oil. We also use extremely strong, high quality braided thread to hang our suncatchers. Moreover, this string does not degrade in sunlight and therefore is ideal for hanging in a sunny window.

The string measures approx 11″ (280mm) from the top of the moon to the metal hoop which is used for hanging.

Please be aware that we have designed our suncatchers for indoor use and have not tested them outdoors.

What else do I need to know about this “Courage” Ogham Inspired Suncatcher?

Because all wood is unique and varies slightly, your exact suncatcher may differ from the above images in this listing. Without a doubt, we will make sure that each and every piece is of equal natural beauty. We aim for 100% satisfaction with our “Courage” Ogham Inspired Gift from Ireland.

Our Ogham Inspired Suncatchers come in Irish Beech wood.

In Irish Folklore, wood has undeniably a strong relationship with the Irish people. They believed the trees to be sacred and magical. In addition, each tree has its own inherent properties.

BEECH has long been associated with ancient knowledge. It is said to act as a “guidance from the past” and can help to gain insight. In the home, it is good for healing, meditation and protection.

In Feng Shui wood is the element of “new beginnings”. What’s more, in the home it has a positive effect on growth, healthy energy and family life.

Crystals bring positive energy into homes. They particularly bestow hope, joy and good luck. They activate positive and diffuse negative energy. A hanging crystal such as this Ogham Inspired Moon Suncatcher can help to bring balance and calm into your space. They are especially useful in a Yoga room or meditation space.

Ogham is an ancient form of Celtic writing using dashes and lines from a central marking and is usually read from top to bottom. Used mostly in Ireland and Wales from about 400 – 900 AD, Ogham is sometimes called the “Celtic Tree Alphabet” as within the language individual letters can be ascribed to the names of various trees that would be native to Ireland making it a natural choice for us here in Artwood.
