Ogham Readings on Mondays

[kimberlysteele]

Here we go again, folks... hard to believe it's already Monday and nearly the middle of September. As they say on Game of Thrones, Winter is Coming!

Submit your question or request for a general "what's up this week" reading and I will be happy to oblige!


I am happy to read your Ogham free of charge -- that's how I hone my divination skills -- but if you want to donate for it, I'll happily buy myself a book, a snack, or a cup of tea while on the town.

Kimberly I have a question, not a divination question. My question is: are these your Ogham fews in the picture? How do you know if they are upright or reversed? I don't see any markings.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi, yes, they are Ogham fews I made from wooden tiles I ordered via Etsy (here is a link to the vendor: https://www.etsy.com/listing/580146108/unfinished-wood-dominoes-1x2-inch-set-of )

If you look closely, I have marked the two of the corners on each tile so I can tell whether it is well or ill-dignified.

[ecosophian]

Yes I see it now. Very neat.
I simply purchased a deck of Ogham cards like this: https://www.etsy.com/listing/832722336/celtic-tree-oracle-by-sharlyn-hidalgo

It seems to be working fine for me. Still I think its better when you craft your tools yourself.

Oooh, those are pretty!

What do I need to know about last night's dream?

Thanks!

Seems a bit ominous

[kimberlysteele]

Last night's dream reveals three ill-dignified cards, meaning you should look for three different types of imbalance and meditate on which kind of imbalance it is (in my system, ill-dignified warns of a balance towards extremes in a binary situation).

The first and most immediate one symbolizing You is Tinne (Holly), ill-dignified, which means you are either being over-protective and over-defensive, not defensive enough, or a combination of both.

The second card is Ruis (Blackthorn or Sloe) ill-dignified and that means either you're swamped with unjustified regret and beating yourself up or not regretting enough make prudent decisions. In my system, this signifies the general setting/mood of the dream.

The third, which is the lesson to be learned, is Fearn (Alder) which indicates that it would be easy not to use this dream as a learning experience and to just forget about it. Instead, I think they are saying it needs to be written down and mulled over in discursive meditation.

Thank you. I have a lot to think about! This was a truly scary nightmare involving demon posession - I have read about similar nightmares on Magic Monday, but not really experienced one myself. There were a lot of strange symbols and a ton to imagery to unpack. I have been afraid to write it down and mull it over! I've been going back and forth trying to figure out if I should take it literally or metaphorically or what. Runes last night indicated "yes," put out a bowl of vinegar, which makes me a bit more nervous... I've been doing the SOP for 15 months and nightly prayers/devotions for a over two years.

I asked my runes the result if I write down and meditate on the dream and they gave me:

Othala (self): home, being content within yourself, the still center within
Kenaz reversed (situation): lack of illumination/insight/knowledge, fire in its destructive sense
Gebo (outcome): gift, exchange, sacrifice, gratitude

Re: Seems a bit ominous

[kimberlysteele]

With the two "positive" runes flanking a more negative Situation rune, my thoughts are that they are saying to find the center within and be prepared for either outside attacks via the fire rune or the actions of a Watcher who is testing you via a sort of trial by fire. I don't know if you follow the Cosmic Doctrine discussion over at Ecosophia.net, but the Self strikes me as the Ring Cosmos, the Situation is the Ring Chaos, and the Outcome is the Ring Pass Not. The outcome, of course, looks good.

Very helpful, thank you. I think I have some work to do!

Hi Kimberly! Thanks so much for offering this! I actually have a question this week and will paypal you a donation! My question is:

Will we get a new dog within the next two months?

Maybe it's a response to all the stress of the outer world right now but I've been feeling strongly about gardening and building my home and family vibes. I love our dog that I have right now to pieces and I just really feel the call to adopt or rescue another one but it is a delicate choice and will change our family's life in big and little ways. Thank you!

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham say "Yes" and they give me the card Onn, which in my system means Community. This most likely means the dog will be a rescue, as rescuing dogs benefits the human and the dog communities alike.

I feel you on the gardening thing. I have been hunkering down at home as well and I have cancelled my meetup group in order to have more quality time at home.

Thank you! That's what I was planning :)

Applying for another PT time job tomorrow—what’s the outlook?

[kimberlysteele]

The outlook is positive. They give me Saille, or Willow, which means Sensitivity as well as Flexibility. Let me know how it turns out!

I will, thanks!
