Just out of curiosity, does anyone know of any correspondences between the Celtic Ogham and the Major arcana of the Tarot cards??

Sorry I can't find any corrilation between this ancient script and the Tarot...The script is a bit obscure and there are only about 500 examples of it and most of it is a bit boring...yunno like Z son of Z the Eldar wed X the daughter of Y...It might appear in a modern deck somewhere but I don't kno of any...:TFOOL

the only deck i can think of that might have some correspondences is the celtic wisdom deck by caitlin matthews. another is celtic book of the dead--not tarot--same author. there's also a celtic tree oracle that might have some correspondences to the ogham but not tarot. works by caitlin and john matthews are your best bet. they seem to be the most knowledgeable about things celtic and its relationship to tarot than any other writers i know of.
