Hi Everyone,
I am happy to read your Ogham free of charge -- that's how I hone my divination skills. I take reading requests until 8pm Central Time (Chicago Illinois USA) on Sunday night. Though I am flattered that people want readings after the deadline, I decline reading requests made after 8pm Central Time on Sunday night without exception.
Please note I will be taking off the weeks of December 24, 2023 and December 31, 2023. Readings will resume as usual January 7, 2024.
For a more in depth look into how I read and interpret the Ogham's symbols, please visit my website druidogham.wordpress.com.
I am currently trying to minimize my use of PayPal. If you'd like to make a donation, I would be grateful if you did it here:

Your prayers of blessing to the deity/deities of your choice are welcome whether or not you can donate.

Date: 2023-11-24 04:55 am (UTC)If you meant to post this, I have feedback on two readings you made:
a) I asked about a job, and you said it would be disorganized, but a good fit and we'd be able to get things done. This has turned out to be completely accurate.
b) I asked if someone and I would cross paths again. This reading looks like it's false, as we appear to be set to get back in contact.
However, a while back, I had asked Venus to assist me with my love life; and in an earlier reading you said she brought this woman to me. I blew it badly; and have resumed prayers to the planetary gods. In particular, I told Venus I had screwed up, and asked her if she could find a way for me to get another chance here, so I think Venus might have listened and answered.
If you are doing these readings now, I have two followup questions:
a) Am I correct that Venus played a role in bringing us back together?
b) Do your ogham have advice on what my next step should be? I'm praying to Venus for guidance and aid; but frankly I've never really been very good at this sort of thing.

I am making moves to move closer to work and I have a particular apartment complex in mind. What do your Ogham think about it?
Thanks, Kimberly!

Date: 2023-11-26 03:13 pm (UTC)1. I’ve been faltering in practicing my willpower exercises (e.g. Conscious Attention, Conscious Action) this year, whereas I was better at them last year. Seems I only remember them when I specifically think about my willpower and using it. Can your Ogham provide some advice on what I can change to better practice those exercises?
2. This may be a question not just for your Ogham but for yourself as well. Since I became spiritually active, it’s hard to not relate to my family members and friends differently than before. It feels any way of interacting with them reminds me that I’m on a journey and they’re part of it one way or another, and how I interact with them matters more than ever before. Is there a way I need to adjust my approach to my family and friends?
3. This year had me start two affirmations for personal use. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make saying the first one routine enough for it to last a whole year, and I fear I missed saying my second affirmation as well one of these past days. The fault ultimately lies with me not getting a routine established (though I can sympathize with myself in that it’s been a rough year). But I feel like both affirmations are important enough to keep saying even if to reduced effect. What does your Ogham recommend I do with my two affirmations - keep practicing them as if nothing has changed, or let go and move on to new ones?

I have mixed feeling about event D. What does Ogham say the out come will be if I proceed? What about in the long term?

Date: 2023-11-26 07:02 pm (UTC)I've just started a new job, and immediately after finishing training have found my hours cut dramatically. Instead of the 30-40 I was expecting this week, I'm only on the schedule for around 15. I'm considering my options here:
a) Take the unexpected extra free time to work on self-improvement and prayer/spirituality.
b) Confront my boss about this and find out why my hours are so low.
c) Start looking for a new job, ignoring the high likelihood that I’ll be moving shortly.
How do your ogham feel about these options?

Date: 2023-11-26 10:03 pm (UTC)I would love to know what your Ogham think would be the best route for me to pursue with my work. Looking ahead to next year (I am currently planning now):. Is it time for me to end my teaching career and move into something new? Or should I risk changing things up dramatically with my classes? Or should I just plug on as usual?
Thank you!

Date: 2023-11-27 03:16 am (UTC)Thank you for the feedback! My Ogham say that you are not correct -- it was not Venus who brought you back together. They provide Mor or Sea Change ill-dignified, which means that some huge change on her part or on yours was responsible.
For advice, the Ogham provide one of Venus's own calling cards in my system. They provide Quert or Delight well-dignified, which means that you should spend time on the details: deportment, appearance, looking spiffy, smelling even better, planning thoughtful activities, and generally being romantic are what she suggests here. Don't be a heedless spendthrift but definitely splurge a little as you make an effort to impress. Venus will tell you what to do pretty much in the moment but you have to be sensitive and willing to develop your listening powers. Quert is nothing less than a direct sign from her. I wrote an article on what I believe is pleasing to Aphrodite a while back, here is the link if you've not yet read it: https://kimberlysteele.dreamwidth.org/85341.html

Date: 2023-11-27 03:18 am (UTC)My Ogham like that social event for you. They provide Ur or Intimacy well-dignified, meaning the event will bring you out of your shell and be good for you where your personal growth is concerned.

Date: 2023-11-27 03:27 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards for December 2023, all well-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Beith or Intention. You will go in the direction you are meant to go -- meaning if we look at the purpose of your incarnation, you will veer strongly in that direction in December. This is not to promise such force of purpose will be painless: on the contrary, this card points to you being faced with having to make sacrifices to drive towards your truest and best desires for yourself.
For the Situation, you drew Tinne or Defense. Tinne is one of the danger cards of my Ogham even when ill-dignified, so be on the lookout for all forms of danger, including physical ones and threats to your loved ones. Other than that, it talks about what constitutes genuine defense. True defense is rooted deep in your psychology: Meatworld being what it is, anyone who thinks he can physically defend himself from all potential mayhem is a fool. This month offers a golden opportunity to understand the nature of true defense.
For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience. Like Tinne, Straif is your defensive strategy/strategies in a state of moderation and balance. Psychologically, you are more prepared for the unexpected these days than you have been in times past... why? How did you get here? How are you dealing with life's little flare ups differently than you used to?
no subject
Date: 2023-11-27 03:44 am (UTC)Interesting. My Ogham have some things to say about this.
For your willpower exercises, my Ogham say you should carry on. They provide Muin or Harvest well-dignified, which implies that my Ogham disagree that you were "better" at them last year and that they have subtly been at work this entire time. My Ogham say to take a mental snapshot of your willpower and its karma now versus before you found those exercises and note the differences.
Ah, yes, No. 2. I agree with my Ogham here. They provide Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. That "silence" part of To Know, To Will, To Dare, and To STFU part of Eliphas Levi's mage rules springs to mind. I mean to mention on JMG's Magic Monday a puzzling statement an entity left me with recently: he/she/it said both Meatworld and time are illusions. Of course this statement immediately drums up 10,001 questions, however, what becomes apparent is that the only thing we have is our daily acts. Nothing else matters. So the whole point of existence, which may or not be a simulation, is to treat others well. In my own case, I curate my personality depending on who I am with. If I am with my Mom, I am the Kimberly who cooks and cleans, who brings treats from the outside world (she does not drive), and that Kimberly has a certain persona. The Kimberly I am with my husband is different, darker, with a bleak sense of humor but also a caretaker. The Kimberly I am with my students is also different, and of course it changes with the age and needs of my student. For the most part, when I deal with others, I try to put my own dramas and grievances aside unless they really need to be addressed. I am certainly not an open book about them. Even to my loved ones, I try not to complain too much because that is what my connection to my Holy Guardian Angel is for -- when I am in genuine trouble, my HGA helps me figure that out and saves me from consuming my life with griping and kvetching.
My Ogham like your affirmations and suggest you pick them back up again. They provide Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified, meaning they think those affirmations are healthy. They are basically saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

no subject
Date: 2023-11-27 03:48 am (UTC)My Ogham say that in the immediate term, Event D is going to feel foolish or generally be unsatisfying. They provide Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified, indicating a frustration about not being able to glean the point of Event D or not understanding what the benefits and drawbacks are. In the long term, they think Event D is good. They provide Eadha or Limits. This is their way of indicating that as long as you keep your expectations exceedingly realistic, Event D is a net benefit because you will learn important lessons from it.

Date: 2023-11-27 03:57 am (UTC)My Ogham think it is going to be a generally rosy week for you: all three cards were well-dignified. That said, all well-dignified readings can certainly include their literal and metaphorical headaches, however, it is strongly indicated you will handle challenges with dignity and style.
For the You position, you drew Ioho or Grace. This is a week of letting go of what not is meant to be, of moving with the spirit of the times, of making sacrifices that elevate your spirit, and of respect and deference. When you let something die or send it to its resting place, you do the only thing that can make room for the new. For anything new to be born, something old must die; this is just the way of the world.
For the Situation, you drew Duir or Gifts. This card shows gifts shared with you and you sharing your gifts. The good energy you have created in the past by sharing your gifts is coming back and you have a strong inclination to share what you have. Gifts are always sweeter when shared, whether we are talking material gifts and bonuses or more subtle gifts such as talents.
For the Outcome, you drew Mor or Sea Change. It's good astral weather in your neck of the woods. You did nothing to cause this astral equivalent of a sunny sky, but it would behoove you to observe the behavior of strangers and semi-strangers so you can observe what good astral weather looks like. Because the astral is unusually clear, it's an excellent week for you to make big purchases, big plans, and to assess both distant future and past.

Date: 2023-11-27 04:10 am (UTC)For B) they say Nah, don't bother. They give you Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified, meaning you don't need to get this personal with your boss and that's what demanding more hours would amount to.
For C) they say also don't bother. They give you Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified, meaning that this current job may be better at only 15 hours for whatever reason. Or maybe they are trying to get you to prove your competence before they give you the hours; often employers will do this. It is very, very annoying, of course, and they should not have promised you full time hours in the beginning, but not all that uncommon.

Date: 2023-11-27 04:18 am (UTC)This is interesting -- they give Eadha or Limits. That's Saturn or Kronos in my Ogham's vernacular. He's not the easiest one to work with but you could do a whole lot worse. Here is my own Orphic Hymn to Saturn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ukgsPNRPyU

Date: 2023-11-27 04:25 am (UTC)My Ogham think you have an issue with perseverance. They give you Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified, which indicates an imbalance that swings towards excess or dearth. If it is excess, you are persevering too much and thinking about X is part of your psychology of previous investment. You spend your energy ruminating over the time and resources lost because of X and your regret over what has been spent keeps you locked in. In the case of a dearth imbalance, you are lacking willpower and X has been put in front of you as one of those harsh lessons that you must use to strengthen your will. The Ogham suggest taking it one baby step at a time and giving yourself some kind words and encouragement every time you manage to put X out of your mind for a while. Don't punish yourself for thinking about X, however, do everything you can to reward yourself for not thinking about X and fill your brain with other things that are better and more worthwhile than X.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-27 04:32 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Beith or Intention ill-dignified. It is tempting to go in too many directions this week and/or lack direction and vigor. This is a fancy way of saying you may be low on mojo or simply not have enough to spread around, so choose carefully. Curate the directions you choose to go in very carefully this week because you only have so much time and energy.
For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. Though this card can be an indication of good health resulting from moderation and healthy habits, it can also be an indication of mental health. I see this one as a card of knowing when to mind your own business and not to be too easily swayed by what others, especially loved ones, are doing.
For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. Anytime this card shows up, it can indicate physical danger. For instance, it showed up for me recently and it was warning me about dangerous drivers on the road. So be aware of physical danger. Other than that, Luis talks about connecting with your higher self and being driven towards the purpose of your incarnation. When you take the high road in your interactions with others this week (being generous, kind, and patient) you will see the higher self at work.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-27 04:49 am (UTC)As for ending your teaching career and moving on to something new, they provide Tinne or Defense well-dignified. This means they suggest you meditate about potentially ending upir current mode of employment. In your case, this may be a good long-term defensive strategy. That said, this card is anything but a blessing on the decision to quit teaching and embark on a new path. Tinne implies great danger, and it is only with the acceptance of the most difficult and problematic of potential outcomes that you should proceed.
For changing things up dramatically with your classes, they say Nah, don't do that. They give you Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified, which means this would be too much of a glimpse into your own personal turmoil and not enough of a benefit for your students.
For plugging on as usual, they give a thumbs up. They provide Oir or Epiphany well-dignified, which indicates that keeping it on the down low is your best strategy for now, because the current dull routine will enable you to have those clear revelations of how you should go forward where transforming your life is concerned.
Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2023-11-27 05:02 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Beith or Beginnings ill-dignified. It is highly likely you'll have a lack of energy this week and you'll feel listless, draggy, tired, or drained. You need to curate your activities and pick your battles. Don't spend any time or energy on that which is not completely worth it.
For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. Though this is well-dig, it is one of those danger cards in my Ogham, so be on guard this week. That said, Luis provides ample opportunities for you to develop your best self: patient, kind, diligent, hardworking, open-minded. By doing this, you can connect to your Holy Guardian Angel.
For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. It is time to count your blessings and it is OK to rest on your laurels this week: you have earned it. With the lack of Beith energy, this card says it is fine to relax, mellow out, coast, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. You have put good things in place for yourself.
Re: Week 48
Date: 2023-11-27 05:17 am (UTC)My Ogham provide three cards for this week.
For the You position, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. This one is usually talking about frustration about what you do not know or cannot know at this point. It also can be a gentle warning about how to "assume" makes an ass out of u and me, meaning that something you think you've got all figured out is actually not the case at all and that you need to revisit the matter with a broader and more open mind.
For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. This one talks about ill health and/or slipping into bad habits that create ill-health. Making healthy boundaries, working on your willpower, and generally cleaning up yourself and your living space are what my Ogham suggests to put Ngetal into balance.
For the Outcome, you drew Gort or Perseverance well-dignified. The Ogham think you're staying true to your long term goals. Though there is anxiety over sustaining yourself, this does not seem to be something you have to worry about.
For the state of your spiritual life, they give you Mor or Ocean ill-dignified. What this means is that you are one of those people who is easily swept along by strong astral plane currents. In the current demonic dark age of spiritual connectedness (or lack thereof) it can be especially hard for you to connect with the Divine. The only suggestion here is to build your own willpower, slow but sure. Vow to be a better person than you were yesterday, if only by the slightest amount.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-27 05:39 am (UTC)You drew three cards for December.
For the You position, you drew Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. This one can mean a couple of things. One is an imbalance of care, meaning that you ladle your generosity on someone in a way where they cannot benefit from it, such as spoiling someone (making them happy for now but damaging them long term) or being spoiled yourself. That said, Uilleand can also mean you being generous from your heart, and in that case, the more you spill over with genuine generosity, the more it will return to you in various forms.
For the Situation, you drew Eadha or Limits well-dignified. This one indicates you and those around you setting sensible limits and practicing moderation in December. By working within your limits, you will set a powerful example that is sorely needed in the current age of excess. It is a good month to think of times you balked against limits and how that worked out for you (maybe it was fine, maybe it was not) and to consider your current limits and the ways you can work gracefully within them.
For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. You are sensitive and considerate this month, perhaps picking up more than your share of etheric labor and demonstrating great care and appreciation of your milieu and its denizens. You also show a great deal of tact and discretion when tempted to do otherwise, either saying the right thing or refraining from inserting your words at the right time.

Date: 2023-11-27 05:52 am (UTC)Thanks for the feedback! My Ogham give you three cards this week.
For the You or most immediate position, you drew Mor or Ocean well-dignified. There is good astral weather in your neck of the woods. You did nothing to cause this. It's much like a sunny day, only God can decide if and when that happens. That said, it is a good opportunity to "see clearly", meaning to examine the past, to prognosticate the future, and to meditate on big changes, purchases, and decisions.
For the Situation, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. Someone in the fam may have foot-in-mouth-itis this week. Better to feel foolish by remaining quiet than prove you are a fool by opening your mouth, but some things cannot be helped. There also may be the situation of having to suffer a fool, and if this happens, please remember the times when you were too loud, too timid, or did something very dumb and be wary of your judgement, especially if the fool in question is a young person.
For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. An authority figure or supposed authority figure may disappoint. You may feel your own knowledge is sorely lacking or you and/or a member of the fam could feel this, or the opposite could happen and there may be overconfidence in one's knowledge that is not merited.
For 1 or 2, the Ogham suggest 1. They give you Onn or Community well-dignified.
