I have been quiet on here for a while, mostly due to travelling to various conferences. However, I have also been writing, mainly the actual PhD thesis, but also a guest column, “Mimir’s Well”, which the Institute for Northern Studies sometimes publishes in the newspaper “The Orcadian”. In this, I ask myself why modern runes seem omnipresent in Orkney but ogham not so much. You can read the full text here if you happen to not be in Orkney where you can buy the physical paper:
