About the Author

Colin Murray (deceased) founded the Golden Section Order--a society dedicated to the preservation of Celtic lore. The Order, and its hand-illuminated magazine, the New Celtic Review, soon gained international renown. Following a serious car accident, Colin became inspired to research ancient Celtic tree wisdom, and this led him to devise the Ogham cards. His wife Liz continued his work after his death, bringing his Ogham divination system to fruition in The Celtic Tree Oracle.

Vanessa Card is a freelance illustrated who has worked on several books projects including the popular Treasure Chest series from Running Press.
