Links to information about trees of the Ogham

In searching for information to include in the first scene with the nine sacred trees, I came across these resources, which explore the celtic mythology associated with particular trees (including their places in the Ogham alphabet). I am placing the links here as I thought they may be useful for future research needed to compile the text for this first scene, and perhaps other scenes in the work.
