[caraecethrae]

"To return to our cóir framework for thinking about magic, it teaches that injustice is a transgression of right order. This creates a tension in the fabric of things, and this tension wants to be set right. It is like a coiled spring that seeks a point of release of the tension created by injustice. If you are working in the service of justice—to right a wrong, restore agency, heal a harm, or equalize the flow of power —this tension spring loads your magical work."

Ceirt (hear pronunciation) is the fifth letter of the second aicme (or grouping of letters) of the ogham alphabet. You may also see this letter spelled "quert" or "queirt."

The Scholar's Primer says that it means "apple tree" but many modern scholar's think that is incorrect as the Old Irish for apple tree is aball. The current thinking is that it means "rags" which also fits better with the kennings.
