I am happy to read your Ogham free of charge -- that's how I hone my divination skills. Please limit your reading request to four or fewer Ogham cards: though this can take many forms, here are some common ones (all of them are basically combos of 4 cards):
-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
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. I cannot answer health questions. If you have a question about health or another sensitive, private matter, provide a bunch of non-identifying information and the Ogham will be able to figure it out even if I don't. I'm serious... the Ogham actually tend to "know" things without me being privy to what is going on.
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 from Saturday, December 21, 2024 - Friday, January 3, 2025.
My next planned break is from Saturday, December 21, 2024 - Friday, January 3, 2025.
I take reading requests from whenever this post goes up on Friday night until 8pm US Central Time Saturday.

Date: 2024-10-05 03:32 am (UTC)I ought to remember to provide feedback more often. This past week, Oir ill-dig included both real epiphanies and “epiphanies” that were more inventions of my mind. I’ve been tested a lot on my rational thinking recently, so Oir ill-dig was testing me on which ones to believe or not. Ailm well-dig occurred as you described it.
For my questions:
1. What do I need to know to make the best of this week?
2. Last month you told me that the goals I designated for my life were achievable - Ngetal well-dignified. It’s only been a month but it feels like a month designed to either end my ability to reach those goals or test my resolve in sticking to them. What does your Ogham say about my goals now? I may ask later about specific goals.

Date: 2024-10-06 01:13 am (UTC)Thanks for the feedback! It's good to know.
You drew three well-dignified cards this week. Though this might seem like there is a cakewalk ahead, be careful, because an all well-dignified reading can mean anything but smooth sailing. The only roses coming up here are the ones that predict you will handle what comes with grace.
For the You position, you drew Gort or Perseverance. This week you display the kind of tenacity it takes to survive and thrive long-term. This is a good week to meditate on shedding unnecessary things, situations, and people as you will have a great reserve of strength you can count on. It is also a good week to consider how far you've come.
For the Situation, you drew Ruis or Regret. You have plenty of mea culpas but they are never enough to drag you into giving up. It is likely someone or something will pop up and try to pull you downwards into a bad memory. Sometimes these negative impulses can come from the self. You have too many strengths building now -- put the negative emotion into perspective and keep a cool distance from it.
For the Outcome, you drew Fearn or Bridge. Whenever you act to improve yourself, no matter how small you think the action is, there is a ripple effect that reverberates in time. All ecosystems and all lifeforce is intertwined and interdependent, so that is why being the best version of you matters. This week features its interference but also shows you learning how to overcome that interference so you can vibrate in sympathy with higher and better intentions.

Date: 2024-10-06 01:28 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Eadha or Limits well-dignified. "'Tis a gift to be humble, 'tis a gift to be free" goes the old song. Knowing that you're not Regent of the World has its comforts, and the friends are usually better too. This week reminds you that it is knowing how to work with what you've got that yields happiness, and those who have everything dropped in their lap are not in an enviable position. Being spoiled breeds spoilage.
For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. Ngetal, especially in this dignity, could spell health issues for you or a loved one, plus, it is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so look out. Other than that, it can talk about dependences of the habitual sort or of the relationship sort, a need to sort out one's borders, and a need to take better care of one's own body.
For the Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. Coll in this dignity is the card of keeping your mouth closed at the appropriate time, because it will be tempting to let it all spill out. I am a person with a great deal of fire in me, and I often want to speak at the worst time and say the worst things (for myself and others). Tone it down, chill it out, and choose your battles carefully. There may be a time to speak out, but you'll have to borrow/steal as much time as you can to think about your words before you do it.

no subject
Date: 2024-10-06 01:38 am (UTC)You drew all well-dignified cards this week. As much as I would love to say it is a guarantee of a wonderful, beautiful week, it is not. I have had doozies on all well-dignified readings. The Ogham predict you'll come out on top of whatever you are faced with, so that is where the positive spin comes into play.
For the You position, you drew Muin or Harvest. You are seeing the logical results of your investments (including emotional and etheric investments) and it is good. Take a moment to savor and appreciate what you've done, because your gratitude can and will amplify your good fortune. The sad thing about having such a harvest is that others may be jealous, and you may not know they are jealous. Stay humble and kind; the best kind of harvest is the alchemical, internal one that comes of being a humble and kind person.
For the Situation, you drew Fearn or Bridge. You are acting as a role model perhaps without knowing it. Just trust that the gods see it and it is important. You may also have the happiness of hidden knowledge being revealed to you as part of your consequential reward for acting as a role model. Fearn also shows you clearly what you do and don't know (this can be a brutal process, so it can be positive yet feel terrible) and illuminates sources where you can find help.
For the Outcome, you drew Oir or Epiphany. An epiphany is a sudden revelation that can happen anywhere or at any time. Though it is a net positive because it reveals the truth, the truth can be upsetting and painful. What you will get out of this truth is entirely up to you: many run from truth when it is revealed, choosing to delay that direction of their growth process.

Date: 2024-10-05 02:11 pm (UTC)I have a question on moving. I am in the process of finding a way to leave a dysfunctional living arrangement, and would like to know what your Ogham think of the options I've worked out.
a) Move into an extend stay motel I've found, and go from there. Quickest option, most flexibility, but it is somewhat expensive.
b) Stay put, try to make myself more appealing to rental companies, and then look for a more permanent place while remaining here until I can pull it off.
c) Put everything into finding a place I can live short term somewhere in the US, and move up my plans to get out of Canada from medium/long term planning into a short term plan, and then sort things out on the other side of the border.
d) Try to come up with something else entirely.
no subject
Date: 2024-10-06 01:48 am (UTC)My Ogham are implying you have more resources than most. They say you should consider yourself to be one of the lucky ones: you are likely to have a soft landing because of your particular state of affairs.
For A) they give Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. This is a good option and would be the safest and easiest. They seem to think you can handle it.
For B) they give Tinne or Defense ill-dignified, because it puts you in defense mode and you'll be vulnerable in several ways.
For C) they give Quert or Delight ill-dignified, which is to say the US has a glamour and you're not seeing the whole truth of it.
For D) they give Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified, which bodes well and suggests if you think outside the box, you might be able to come up with an even better solution.

Date: 2024-10-06 02:00 am (UTC)You drew three cards for this month.
For the You position, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. This card shows you being the change you want to see in the world. The Ogham commend you for improving your attitude and steering yourself towards the constructive instead of the counterproductive. That said, watch out for bad advice and false authority, because they are always popping up trying to drag everything down to their level.
For the Situation, you drew Koad or Confluence well-dignified. The harmony of this month is strong. You are responsible for a great deal of it. The Ogham advise that you look at this month's good example and compare it to other months that were not so happy and healthy. You have a position of strength right now, and that often begs fate to reach out and test you, so brace yourself.
For the Outcome, you drew Eadha or Limits well-dignified. You have worked with the lessons you've been taught and succeeded. Success is not always obvious. Equating material success with real success is a mistake; they can have some things in common for sure but one is definitely not the other, hence Jesus's remark about camels and the eyes of needles. Continue to live as simply as you can, but don't go overboard. Part of the lesson is knowing how to enjoy responsibly.

Re: October
Date: 2024-10-06 02:09 am (UTC)You drew three cards for October.
For the You position, you drew Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. This month will test your patience, endurance, and strength, but you are well-poised to come out on top. Huath is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so be risk adverse, wear an amulet whenever you are out and about, and don't miss a banishing ritual if you've got one in place. Huath is fire energy and though it can get us in a great deal of trouble (ask me how I know LOL) it can be very useful to be a lion every now and then.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. Two potentials of imbalance lurk here: either being black pilled, meaning believing that everything is dark and miserable or the bouncy, happy-shiny-people opposite of pasting a smiley face on a pile of turds. Neither approach is the truth, which of course is a mixture of positive and negative factors.
For the Outcome, you drew Duir or Gifts well-dignified. I consider Duir to be the best card of the Ogham deck. Symbolized by the mighty Oak, it indicates massive reserves of strength that are undefeatable in the face of evil. This month is an opportunity to sublimate what you've been given by sharing it in large and small ways. It also talks about humor defeating vileness and nastiness.

Re: October
Date: 2024-10-06 09:17 pm (UTC)I tend to be the proverbial bull in a china shop. I have a tendency to want to be the boss and run things my way. Because of this, I can be very pushy, throwing my opinions around where they are neither wanted nor needed. Think of a curious cat who explores places that mean almost certain death because she's just too curious to sit still. My leonine fire energy can be good: it is why I have written so many original songs, started my own business, and why I have been able to make a splash without being connected or having a marketing budget. The drawbacks are having made a complete ass out of myself many times, especially as a young person.

Date: 2024-10-06 02:26 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. It's easy to overdo it this week, both in work and in play. In my own case, Quert in this dignity talks about etheric starvation and overeating/overspending to compensate for it, so I find when I see this one, it calls for regular exercise, lots of exposure to the sun, and lemon balm tea. This could also be a tight week, but the warning here is not to overreact with parsimony. Saving money is one thing but sometimes you have to relax a little.
For the Situation, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. Situations, especially ones with other people, can test the outer limits of patience sometimes. It can be useful to counter any one negative thought with three positive ones. Finding the silver lining to the cloud can be the most Herculean task of all, but the Ogham are showing this as what is needed to keep a harmonious flow.
For the Outcome, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. Ngetal, no matter what its dignity, is a danger card in my Ogham, so I will advise you not to take any risks this week. Ngetal implies an understanding about health that goes deeper and shows you what can be prevented if you are willing to take up the work and sacrifice. Ngetal is a card of healthy respect of boundaries, knowing yourself, and exercising moderation in all things.

Date: 2024-10-06 02:35 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. Huath, especially in this dignity, can be a danger card in my Ogham. You are advised to be risk adverse, to avoid even remotely sketchy situations, and to generally lay low and stay chill. Other than that, Huath can indicate Martial energy ebbing low so that you feel you are out of mojo. If you must expend energy while you are feeling low, take it slow and easy. On the other end of imbalance is too much fire energy, where making rash decisions could be an issue, so don't. Play for time until cooler heads prevail.
For Situation, you drew Ailm or Trancendence ill-dignified. On one end, you may be tempted to pretend it is all OK when it is not: be honest with yourself and don't gold-plate a turd. On the other end is nihilism, thinking things are bleak and lost when it isn't over yet. Don't give up unless you have to. Now, because this is in Situation, it could be talking about having to deal with someone else who has these imbalances.
For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. You have been willing to learn some lessons the slow and difficult way and this is finally paying off. The kind of mastery you've been gaining lasts beyond death, which makes it the most important kind of all. You are learning to sift through b.s. like a pro.
Long time
Date: 2024-10-05 09:39 pm (UTC)Just a general what’s up please. My issues are just getting worse and it’s really hard to stay afloat.
Thanks
Re: Long time
Date: 2024-10-06 02:50 am (UTC)Sorry to hear it.
My Ogham give you three cards. All of them are well-dignified. As I always say, an all well-dignified reading is no indication of an easy time, however, it does point out hidden strength and a high likelihood of overcoming obstacles, so there's that.
For the You position, they give Ruis or Regret. Learning how to own your shadow and the mistakes it has helped you to make is the most important life lesson of all. It is easy to spend multiple lifetimes running away from accountability and it never works out. The devil always gets his due. My Ogham seem to think you've done some important shadow work and you are at least being honest about your own state of affairs.
For the Situation, they give Mor or Sea. My Ogham seem to think you will soon be able to get a leg up because of general astral conditions being favorable. For every negative thought, counter it with three positive ones. This can be very, very difficult when you are struggling. If you have a negative thought, thank three items that you were able to use as if they were people. Thank the door for keeping out the wind and burglars, thank the bed for being there for you to sleep on it, and thank the coffee cup for holding fluids. Gratitude is transformative magic. Often it is the only way through a dark time because it invokes the power of gods.
For the Outcome, you drew Gort or Perseverance. This indicates you are being tested. Meatworld sucks and sometimes there isn't much you can do about how bad it sucks. You cannot control what happens to you but you can control how you react to it, which is why it is so important to play the Glad Game. I was thinking about a town I used to live in and how many times I had been pushed out of it in one way or another for not having enough money or status. It's easy to see a town's spirit as hostile. Then I considered that town's animal shelter brought me my beloved Kiki, the cat I had from 2007-2021. Kiki was the greatest gift anyone or anything could have bestowed, so I can only be grateful to that town forever despite its snobbiness.

Hope all is well with you!
Ennobled little day
no subject
Date: 2024-10-06 03:01 am (UTC)My Ogham have some interesting observations about your bad day.
For one, they give you three ill-dignified cards. This tells me that it is very easy to make too much of this day and turn it into a big melodrama. Don't do that; it's counterproductive and it does not reflect the truth.
For the You position, you got Beith or Intention ill-dignified. You need to spend time in meditation looking at your intentions because you don't truly know them. When you ask Spirit for what you want, you have to make sure it's what you want or you'll end up in a worse situation. For instance, let's say I say to the mirror that I want to be more attractive. When I neglect to say to whom I would like to be more attractive, if my magic works, I attract a cauldron of sleazeballs and a-holes. Whoops! Should have been more specific. Also, know your intention. Do you truly want what you say you want? Have you observed the ways in which a "successful" scenario can go utterly and septically wrong? For instance, many people say they want to be married. As someone who has been married for 24 years with parents who were married for 59 years until death did they part, I don't think they understand what marriage means!
For the Situation, you drew Gort or Perseverance. You can't hurry love... you just have to wait. The gods are very, very patient. You have to hang in there. You will be glad you did. There is much work that needs to be done. The mundane tasks you think are time wasters are not. Look deeper. If you've ever seen the Karate Kid, this may be one of those "wax on, wax off" times.
For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. You are not looking at all the risks. Your higher self knows what is right even if you don't. When your gut tries to tell you, listen.

Date: 2024-10-06 12:07 pm (UTC)Yesterday I was with a group of friends/acquaintances when a woman I like (and who I know likes me, or at least has in the past) walked in. I don't think I really wanted to see her. For some reason my interactions with the group were already slightly off, so having her there was going to complicate things. At first she kept her distance, but at one point she got really close. Without thinking I nonchalantly, but without breaking etiquette, turned my back at her. I didn't want to do that, but I did it before I knew what I was going.
I was able to roll with other complications, but they were painful at times.
To top it off, many of them (including the woman) then wanted to go to an event that to me seemed like it was going to be cool to attend. Unfortunately, things continued to be off as we were leaving in our respective cars. I left and arrived too early.
The last time I had been at the destination, I was still married. I couldn't stay there long for several reasons. I was supposed to meet up with them.
Yesterday was one of those complicated days with all kinds of emotions, but a bit too many leaned down.

2. May the Ogham comment on whether I am being "currently" lazy, or whether I am really doing the best I can do, given all the limitations I have bearing down on me?
Thanks!

Re: "Week 41"
Date: 2024-10-06 03:08 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You card, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. You are building towards a better future slow but sure. You are using the best advice even if you have to cherry pick it from the rubble -- even bad advisors give good advice and good advisors give bad advice, so you always have to use your power of discrimination.
For the Situation, you drew Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. We live in a remote and disconnected time and you are feeling that this week. Technology that is supposed to connect us actually makes it harder to make a true connection. Expect the usual issues with tech this week. Beware autistic literalism and autistic entitlement, which is the tendency to think everything has to be played by the rules and that the Universe cares about rules being followed: the Universe does not like being told what to do!
For the Outcome, you drew Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. Some of the current misfortune isn't your fault but some of the blame is indeed yours. Your job is to adjust what you can control and not to worry about the rest.
For your question, they don't think it is entirely your laziness, though it does play a part. They give Mor or Sea ill-dignified, which means that you are being dragged down by the current astral morass. The collective astral is in a HORRIBLE state at the moment. I thought it was lightening a bit after the first failed assassination attempt, but I was wrong. Now it is worse than ever.

2. Re the reading 3 weeks ago. I had asked, "Am I interpreting that dream message correctly (or was it just a dream)?" Ogham said Muin. Well, I had prayed for help knowing what offering I should make. I had dreamed I gave my hands. I had interpreted this to mean I should volunteer somewhere. How does Muin fit in with this?
Thanks!

Date: 2024-10-06 03:23 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week. It has been a banner week for all well-dig or all ill-dig readings. Yours is all ill-dig. I would not make this into more than it is though. I have had some of the best days of my life on all ill-dig readings and some of the worst with all well-dig. An all ill-dig reading is a general warning that it is all too easy to fixate on the negative and to be overwhelmed. You can defeat it by keeping your sense of humor and refusing to see any person or situation as all bad.
For the You position, you drew Nuin or Communication. This one is simple: you and the family will have trouble communicating this week, whether this is a machine going down or an emotional roadblock. You can avoid the trouble by staying present, involved, forthright, and earnest. Also, be ready to improvise. Nuin in this dignity symbolizes the drawbacks of the modern computer age, so be watchful and budget online time.
For the Situation, you drew Ur or Intimacy. The ones we love can feel like foreign lands and not friendly ones. It isn't an easy era in which to be human and it is especially hard on women as etheric providers: we are always expect to be switched ON and that is not fair. Being grateful is the best way to elicit gratitude. When you are being taken for granted, make it a point to not to take things, places, or people for granted. Don't reflect the ugliness.
For the Outcome, you drew Gort or Perseverance. Times like these can strain relationships. This is also the age of instant gratification and dopamine addiction -- manipulation comes in all sizes, shapes, and forms! Again, don't embody the spirit that threatens at the periphery. Don't let it in. Earned rewards are the sweetest of all.
My apologies for not answering your question about Muin! I meant to do it and I forgot. My Ogham give Oir or Epiphany for volunteering somewhere -- they think it would be good and that it would bring connections of the sort that cannot happen any other way.
