O is Onn, or Ohn, and represents the Gorse bush, sometimes called Furze. This yellow, flowery shrub grows on moors all year long, and is full of nectar and pollen. It's a food source for many animals -- the stalks are munched on by grazing livestock -- but eventually Furze is set on fire. This controlled burn allows old deadwood to be gotten rid of, and clears the way for new life to begin. Gorse (Furze) represents long-term thinking and planning -- knowing that sometimes we have to do without in order to gain things in the future.

Gorse is a determined sort of plant that always comes back, and so it is also connected with perseverence and hope.

In some pieces of Celtic folklore, the Gorse is used as a protective barrier. Planting it around one's home would keep the Sidhe away, and it can be shaped into a broom for sweeping away negative influences.
