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. Please limit your reading request to four or fewer Ogham cards: though this can take many forms, here are some common ones:
-a single three card reading for the week or month and a one-off, one card reading
-four questions about four separate items that require one answer (card) per item
-a one card reading to answer a specific question and a three card for a more nuanced question
-Two separate readings, two cards a piece exploring the positives and negatives of two different choices
-a one card reading to answer a specific question and a three card for a more nuanced question
-Two separate readings, two cards a piece exploring the positives and negatives of two different choices
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.
I am happy to do Ogham readings confidentially via email -- just email me at k steele studio at gmail during the allotted time/before deadline.
Please note I take time off during Solstices and Equinoxes for Druid stuff and because sometimes I simply need a break.
My next planned break is the week of Sunday, March 24.

Date: 2024-03-17 05:23 pm (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards this week.
For the You position, they provide Duir or Gifts well-dignified. You have a glimpse of understanding of how gifts actually work on the subtle planes: a gift from the heart is something that was earned and then freely given. The energy of that gift returns multiplied upon itself through the planes. For instance, let's say you decide to share your food or give someone help they asked for by helping an old lady across the street. As much as the positive blowback is not immediately or obviously apparent, the gift of your act will come back to you times seven, or at least that's what my non-embodied ecosystem tells me!
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. You or someone near to you has a high chance of imbalance on the spectrum of overcoming obstacles. Either there is some false transcendence involved, where you're telling yourself lies in order to believe you've gotten over a hurdle when you're still in the thick of it, and/or there is depression of facing too many obstacles or a large one and not feeling up to the task. Distance and perspective are your best friends here: you are not alone, no matter how isolated you feel, and the Divine wants to help you insofar as you are willing to help yourself/allow yourself to be helped.
For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. Tinne is a danger card in my Ogham regardless of dignity, so be risk-adverse this week and don't make haste unless it's life or death. Other than that, this card shows your understanding of where you are weak as well as where you are strong. The veil of illusion comes off and you see what is genuinely vulnerable or protected as opposed to what masquerades as vulnerability and protection.

Date: 2024-03-17 04:28 am (UTC)a) Do your ogham think I will get the job I applied for (the one near where I currently work; I've put in almost 50, and want to make sure it's clear which one I'm talking about)?
b) Over the past few years I've had a lot of apparent past life memories surface. I've asked for divination for some of them, and each time you've said they are genuine, but I'm now curious if the overall thrust is accurate. If it is, then I am an incredibly old soul; and while it explains a lot, I hope I didn't make some of mistakes I now seem to remember making...
c) If these are accurate, could I ask your ogham why these memories are surfacing? I haven't been diligent with my spiritual practices; I haven't sought them out; I don't think I've done anything to burn off a lot of karma. The fact they're surfacing just seems really weird to me...
d) Will I be accepted for the engineering school I applied to near where my grandparents live?

Date: 2024-03-17 05:30 pm (UTC)My Ogham think you will get the job you applied for. They give Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified, which is symbolized by the (flexible and malleable) Willow tree.
For your second question, they say the overall thrust of your surfacing memories is accurate and that your soul is quite old. They give Coll or Wisdom well-dignified, which is to say your development has been a long and sometimes arduous process.
For the reason why these memories are surfacing despite your lack of diligence, they provide Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. The powers and gods who grace your particular ecosystem are very generous and give you the benefit of many doubts. Their patience is not infinite, but overall you have lucked out as far as opportunities to develop yourself spiritually. Of course whether you choose to take the slightly faster path of day in/day out spirituality (the equivalent of carrying water and chopping wood in a kung fu movie) is up to you.
My Ogham seem to think you will be accepted into the school. They give Oir or Epiphany well-dignified.

Date: 2024-03-17 05:55 pm (UTC)Thanks for the feedback!
For the You position, you drew Ngetal or Health well-dig. Though this can be an indicator of good health, it actually means dodging truly bad health, so that means I will utter my usual warning about being on your guard. It also is a card of paring away that which is unhealthy for you, either physically or metaphorically.
For the Situation, you drew Beith or Intention well-dignified. Beith is a unity of direction either for you or for someone in your inner circle as this is Situation. The unity of direction is what it takes to get something one; without it, we are constantly distracted. This does indicate sacrifice of outside distractions, even "good" ones that feel more like necessity.
For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. Feeling drawn down and/or drained by close relationships is likely if you have them; if you are more of a loner, the lonely part may feel more oppressive than usual. Curate what you say and how you act according to who you are with; slamming down hard limits and not speaking everything on your mind will go a long way in preserving harmonious relationships.

Many thanks as always!

Date: 2024-03-18 02:25 am (UTC)You drew three cards for April.
For the You card, you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. This is a card alerting you to the balanced state you will achieve through most of April -- your heightened sensitivity is best used as a kind of personal editor: edit out that which you do not love, including that which you are lukewarm about. In my own life, I like to use macrame as an example. I love doing macrame and other handicrafts, but I don't "allow" myself to do it because I don't have enough time for it and to practice my various instruments and singing. Another thing to notice is how you handle people: you will be at the top of your psychological game and it is a good time to write down your observations.
For the Situation, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. Though you are stressed, your ability to roll with the punches is amazing in April. You deftly slalom around obstacles, and combined with your sensitivity and your ability to pick your battles, you have a chance of getting well ahead of stuff that would otherwise pile up and become a source of stress.
For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. Some of your wins may tempt you into thinking you're coming out ahead -- you'll have to be more patient than that and bide your time. Be fairly merciless about recognizing and rooting out your own bad habits. Because of your heightened sensitivity and resilience this month, getting rid of a bad habit and cultivating good habits will resonate with a great amount of power; plus it will be easier to do.

Date: 2024-03-17 05:52 pm (UTC)I want change, especially with Aries season arriving. Want to start the new cycle on strong footing.
1. The event from this past week I botched making a change in my life through - what is the biggest takeaway I should take from my mistake?
2. Is there some sort of habit or daily discipline I can instill so I can actually respond to these events in the way I need to and break out of my current rut? I understand a lot of these events require in-the-moment actions, but there could be something that helps me prepare for them.
One other question:
1. Should I take up hatha yoga as an exercise routine? I got an interesting reading on the topic that suggested “yes” *and* “no” depending on how you interpret it.

Date: 2024-03-18 02:36 am (UTC)My Ogham say you need to get back on that horse and develop thicker skin when it comes to dealing with your mistakes. You drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified, meaning the Divine forgives you. The important part here is your continued effort -- it is expected you will be a bumbling fool. I have plenty to answer for. It's bad enough that I don't talk about it to anyone. The gods know and that is enough. You just have to keep going. It may seem like you are spinning your wheels, especially after a major error. Remember what some random entity whom I think may have been a god said to me when I asked "What's it like to be a god?" It answered, "It's like trying to take an amoeba to play the piano." We were all once sad little amoebas swimming around in slime. It took a very, very long time to get this former amoeba to the point where she could play J.S. Bach, and I can still barely manage it.
For your question about habits, they say that some kind of physical discipline performed every morning without fail is best. They give you Beith or Beginnings well-dignified, and this is a morning-time card. Beginning now in the dawn of Springtime is excellent. Personally, I do 25 push-ups, 50 jumping jacks, and 50 squats every morning before I have a cup of tea. I hate it and it sucks but it keeps me from having a beer baby and spaghetti arms.
For hatha yoga, my Ogham like it very much for you. They give Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified, which means it will help you in a genuine way and will provide nearly immediate benefits.

Date: 2024-03-18 02:44 am (UTC)My Ogham like this trip for you.
For the You position, they provide Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. Huath is a danger card in my system of Ogham, so be risk adverse and wear a red bag amulet. Other than that, this card says that you are realistic and prudent, not allowing your fears to become ridiculous but also not allowing boldness to make you reckless. Stay genuine yet reserved and you'll make a lovely impression on them.
For the Situation, the Ogham give Duir or Gifts well-dignified. Duir is one of the happiest cards in my Ogham deck. Symbolized by the Oak, it indicates good faith and strength all around. My guess is it will be a pleasant visit. Generosity given and accepted with grace will be the order of the trip. You can magnify the happiness of the trip by practicing compulsive gratitude and being thankful to everyone and everything, including the spirits of place and objects.
For the Outcome, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. A well-dignified card (or three in your case) is no guarantee of everything going smoothly. If there is some drama, you overcome it with style. The Ogham think you'll be in top form and that it will be a good trip overall.

Re: Week
Date: 2024-03-18 02:52 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. Something's gotta give this week -- it is likely you're overscheduled. Let go of an activity, meeting, or obligation if possible in order to lighten the pressure. Don't let others push you around and recognize when it is time to stop. Sometimes you won't be finished, but you will be DONE.
For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Health ill-dignified. There's a nasty cold going around, so make sure to do some kind of daily exercise, take daily multivitamins, and drink vitamins in the form of herbal teas. Since this is in Situation, it may be talking about unhealthy people around you who need to care for themselves as well. Thirdly, it can be talking about the need to draw boundaries around yourself in order to stay mentally, emotionally, and physically well.
For the Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. The primary benefit of having been around the block once or twice is you know right from wrong... no more surprises. Stand your ground if necessary, but keep most knowledge to yourself. No pearls before swine.

Date: 2024-03-18 03:02 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week. All are well-dignified.
I will utter my usual caveat emptor about all well-dig cards not ensuring a rosy week. I've had migraine headaches on all well-dig readings and perfect days on all ill-dig ones. The main thing to keep in mind is that an all well-dig reading indicates your likelihood of triumphing over obstacles.
For the You card, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. The positive blowback of generosity is self-evident if you awaken yourself to it this week. By giving -- especially when you don't perceive yourself as having "enough" or your first instinct is not to share -- you sublimate the gift by the power of seven throughout your life. Notice how people who are stingy are never truly happy, no matter how much wealth they amass. People who work like they don't need the money and love like they've never been hurt are never truly sad.
For the Situation, you drew Nuin or Communication. As you know from previous readings, this is a card of the positive side of autism. The benefits of detail-orientation and the extra-sensitivity to the etheric plane come in handy. Technology, machines, and travel are on your side; use them to your advantage.
For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace. Letting go of what is not meant to be or what is past its prime hurts like hell but is the source of all power. In the Ogham, Ioho is the end of the end part of the deck, where earth goes back to earth. Only by old dying and giving way can the new be born.

You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. You show tact, deference, class, and grace where needed this week, saying only what needs to be said and in the right way to the right people. This is a good week for you to receive and give advice; the advice you give will be especially valuable and appreciated.
For the Situation, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. You are flexible where needed, and in return, others are accomodating to you. This is a good week to talk to the spirits of the land where you are, as they are reaching out to you.
For the Outcome, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. Overindulgence is a risk this week: know when to say "when". Apollo is not a dogmatic or wordy god, but remember what he said: Moderation in all things. Sometimes I draw this card ill-dignified when I have to deal with a rude person or people. Obviously your challenge is not to return it in kind. Thirdly, etheric starvation is a real risk. Counter it by getting direct sunlight on your spleen area, otherwise known as the left side of the ribcage.

Date: 2024-03-18 03:16 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You card, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. You are emotionally strong this week, recognizing your own weaknesses and not allowing them to get the better of you. This card means you will be tested and that adversity may rear its head in the form of disappointment or sorrow. It is how you react that counts.
For the Situation, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. You or someone in your inner circle may be in a hurry to see results. It is too early to tell. Watch out for habits that seem OK but quickly turn toxic, like new diet or exercise regimes or addictive media.
For the Outcome, you drew Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. There isn't a true bad side to Duir. Even in a bad dignity, it merely means you are called upon to recognize your privileges and to be grateful for them. You can sublimate your gifts by paying them forward. It takes some doing to give with the confidence they will return to you, but in my experience, they always do until the act of giving eclipses whatever worry you had about what you've given away.

Re: Weeks 12 & 13
Date: 2024-03-18 03:23 am (UTC)You drew three cards for the next fortnight.
For the You card, you drew Mor or Sea ill-dignified. Through no fault of your own, you are stuck in a collective astral morass. The state of the collective astral is dumpster fire where I am as well (it's the condition of our time) and the only solution tends to be prayer and other forms of spiritual work. At least know you did nothing to cause this; it's the astral equivalent of bad weather.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. You are likely to be depressed as the bad astral weather drags you down. The same thing happens to me all the time. The important part is not to allow it to become an existential crisis. This too shall pass.
For the Outcome, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. You understand what needs to be done. Limits are drawn and new habits are created. You give needed thought to your own boundaries and make healthy decisions about where you end and others begin.

Date: 2024-03-18 03:35 am (UTC)As for confirmation, they give Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. They want you to understand them through their generosity -- Ares gives the gifts of strength when you face your own fears and work diligently. He gives toughness and resilience when you balance your ego. Aphrodite gives necessary wealth to those who earn what they have. She gives loving relationships and peaceful households to the grateful and hardworking.
For giving back, they say you'll figure that out soon enough. They give Oir or Epiphany well-dignified, meaning you are likely to figure out how they want you to give back through a moment of synchronicity.

Date: 2024-03-18 03:41 am (UTC)You drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Ruis or Regret ill-dignified. There are two sides to a Ruis imbalance: that of too little regret or too much. If it is too little, you need to check your ego for puffiness. "I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken" isn't good enough; you need to look honestly at your own mistakes. If it is too much regret, then you are beating yourself for no other reason than masochism. Remember for any good to come of a regret, it must be resolved with a firm "I don't do that anymore" so you can move on the right path.
For the Situation, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. You are a good source and connection for others and you are rewarded with the opportunities you need being put in front of you. Being a fair negotiator and giving others the benefit of the doubt go a long way in returning that energy to you.
For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. Don't be hasty in your expectations. Good things take time and the verdict is not yet decided. If you are in a rut, you may need to take a hard look at it so you can stop digging the hole.

Date: 2024-03-18 03:50 am (UTC)You and the fam drew three cards.
For the You card, you drew Beith or Intention ill-dignified. Spring is a busy time and it can get overwhelming. You and the fam are going too many directions at once, and this could be a recipe for a slow down, a la "My get up and go got up and went". Edit activities, limit obligations, and just say No... this will go a long way towards sanity and happiness.
For the Situation, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. Sometimes, you truly do know best, potentially better than the so-called experts. Only you can make the right decision for yourselves, so make sure you respect and appreciate the power you have. By building your own strength, you can empower yourselves enough to overcome evil without having to exert yourselves to fight it. Always build upon the positive instead of trying to tear down "evil".
For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. Keep your expectations realistic. Root out bad habits and replace them with more honest pleasures. If you are in a rut, look around and recognize it. Only by recognizing where you've gone wrong can you right your direction.
