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: 2024-10-20 01:48 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week. For the You position, You drew Eadha or Limits Well, dignified. This means that you are aware of your limits in a healthy way and willing to work with what you have. Working with limits is one of the most Important reasons for human incarnation in general, and it is a lesson that most people these days tend to fail. It’s pretty important.
For the Situation, You drew Uilleand or Generosity well dignified. Generosity is not just protective of others, it has the hidden side effect of being protection for you, the giver. This week offers object lessons in generosity where you can observe that the more you give, especially when you don’t necessarily have as much as others, the more you shall receive.
For the Outcome, You drew Tinne or Defense Ill dignified. Tinne Is a danger card in my Ogham, so I will utter my usual warning about being particularly risk adverse, and watching out for physical danger and predators. Other than that, it may point to you being more defensive than necessary, especially emotionally. On the opposite side of imbalance, you may not be defensive enough, and you may be rolling over when you should stand and fight.
House of cards
Date: 2024-10-19 02:10 pm (UTC)I am trying to sort something that is interrelated with other issues. I am concerned that advancing with matter A will cause problems with matter B.
Will proceeding with A soon cause problems with B?
What will happen if we wait on A?
In general, what do your Ogham think of B?
With many thanks and blessings, Heloise
Re: House of cards
Date: 2024-10-20 01:58 am (UTC)My Ogham say yes, Proceeding with A will cause problems with B. They give Ngetal or Hygiene well dignified which indicates that the physical or metaphorical health of the matter will be affected. If the health issue is physical, it is rather straightforward, there could be an infection or a spreading of problems. If the health is metaphorical, it means you may be strengthening what you do not wish to strengthen.
For waiting on A, They give Ailm or Transcendence Ill dignified. Waiting is bound to create the illusion of everything clearing up when it has not. It also important to heavily scrutinize any any advice you are given because it could very easily be bad. Do your homework, use all the sources, and think outside the box.
My Ogham tend to like B. They think it is the best choice at least for now. They give Koad or Confluence well dignified. Factors have conversed to a point where choice B is likely the best. It will take work on your part, and you will cannot be passive in this choice.

Date: 2024-10-19 04:13 pm (UTC)a) Do your Ogham think November 15th is a good day to put my plan in motion?
b) Could I get a check on whether my intuition is correct that it is best to keep quiet until I put it in place?
c) Will I hear back from X?
no subject
Date: 2024-10-20 02:07 am (UTC)My cards think you might want to rethink that intuition. They give Muin or Harvest ill dignified. You might not want to stay entirely quiet. Maybe there are some hints you can drop. Basically do that and then read the room.
My cards do not think you will hear back from X. They give Tinne or Defense ill dignified, This seems to indicate there could be some over defensiveness on their part, Or that they just aren’t worth the trouble.
Job search
Date: 2024-10-19 06:43 pm (UTC)Hello Kimberly--
For several reasons, but especially now that I'm not needed for elder caregiving any longer, it's time for me to go back to work full-time in my primary career that I've had for over 30 years now. I'm somewhat ambivalent about this, but also feel motivated for one last push to get my mortgage paid off while I still can. Wondering if the Ogham can offer some guidance about making this transition as enjoyable and useful as possible.
Thanks kindly. I appreciate it!
MJ from MA
Re: Job search
Date: 2024-10-20 02:20 am (UTC)You drew three cards in your request for guidance.
For the you position, the cards give Ur or Intimacy well dignified. The Ogham agree that going back to work is the right choice for you right now, it is the product of you knowing yourself and awareness of your own personal evolution/progression. This means that because you know yourself better than anyone else, you have to take any advice thrown your way with a real grain of salt as it may not be right for you. You’ll also want to keep fairly quiet about your decision and edit anything you say about it until you actually go back to work and start a whole new routine.
For the Situation, They give Saille or Sensitivity. Something has to go, and this may be actual stuff in the form of clutter or extra possessions or it could be a hobby or activity that you just won’t have time for. It’s possible that people around. You might be hurt that you’re not there for them in the way that they think you should be, but at some point you really have to live your own life and make your own decisions that are best for you.
For the Outcome, they give Ruis or Regret well dignified. Luckily, experience begets the best sort of regret… you’ve made all the mistakes, that is why you will be so good when you go back. You will see it coming from a mile away. Also, you’re likely going to be quite good at whatever you do, and your perspective has changed enough that you can benefit in ways that you could not before.

Date: 2024-10-19 06:53 pm (UTC)1-2. What do I need to know to make the best of this week, in two cards?
3. This question could be painful to answer, but all goals and dream that pass away tend to be painful to lose. Unless it’s a bad habit I need to lose. What part of my life or personality does your Ogham recommend I focus on letting go of, Eadha-style, at this time?
4. I’m making the decision just before you post and reply to this message to release an internal pressure I feel to find a partner ASAP and to instead connect within my local community by socializing, doing yard and garden volunteer work, connecting with the spirits of nature, etc. I feel this may be the best choice for me at this time, despite knowing a partner is important for me to connect with for my greatest success and happiness. The idea is that by sinking roots into my community, I build roots in my own self-confidence and can then be in a better position mentally and spiritually to provide for the potential partner that enters my life in the future. What does the Ogham think of this?
no subject
Date: 2024-10-20 02:40 am (UTC)The Ogham give you two cards this week. For the you card, they provide Huath or Force well-dignified. Huath is a danger card in my Ogham, so I will provide my usual warning to be particularly risk adverse and to take precautions at every opportunity. Other than that, it talks about your mojo being in the right place, choosing your battles wisely, and having just enough to stand up for the right thing when you need to do it.
For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection well dignified. Luis is yet another danger card in my system. Other than danger, it shows that you are aware of some of your subconscious urges, and that you are the master of them rather than the slave of them. Nevertheless, expect temptation or low behavior to pop up an attempt to suck you down.
For number three, the Ogham give Quert or Delight ill dignified. This point to you having pretty bad etheric starvation, and this condition may be a good chunk of your preoccupation with finding someone to permanently pair off with. Etheric starvation is the most common condition of our times, and sadly, pairing off does not solve the problem. There’s a good chance that your partner, if you were to find them, would also be suffering from the same condition. You ought to seek remedy your etheric starvation through means that don’t include mating and dating. Sunlight is the most common cure for etheric starvation. Making sure to get some sun on your spleen area every day, even if it is only sitting near a sunny window with your shirt off, may help your condition. I know it works for me. You’ll also want to find a source for home-cooked food or learn how to make food that is nourishing, beautiful, And healthy for yourself. That will go along way. Also, drink a great deal of solar teas such as green tea, lemon balm, mint, and cinnamon.
For number four, my Ogham like it. They give Phagos or Teaching well dignified. When you improve yourself and don’t force the issue to bring the long for partner into your life, you actually stand a much better chance of being the kind of fulfilled individual who attracts the right person. All too often, we see people who force themselves into a long-term relationship by basically settling for whoever comes by and trying to make it work. This is a sure fire recipe for misery and/or divorce. Better to avoid that nasty karma by simply working on yourself and letting the gods decide what happens, because you show your trust that they know best.

Date: 2024-10-19 08:33 pm (UTC)To review: Knowing of Mor, on Monday, I swam out to sea with the outgoing tide to get to the heart of the matter, am I or am I not able to go back to work. Getting a swift rejection on Monday by going directly to HR then, instead of waffling on Wednesday with doing workplace testing only for a rejection by HR by Friday, allowed me to spend the rest of the week working out the (eventually granted) continuation of temporary disability.
The gentle urgency of getting rid of what I don't need had me reorganizing the collection of telescopes I have been accumulating throughout this year. The free time I now have in abundance I employed to test out each of these instruments in turn, shuffling parts around to form assemblies that improved or restored function to each and every instrument. The resulting sorting out revealed that three of these, as gratefully nice as they are, have to go to new homes.
One of these was deprived of it's surfeit of accessories to the point that it is now merely well heeled, to the benefit of the rest of the collection. Something similar is brewing on the automotive front, as a long delayed trip to the pick-a-part junkyards sparks an interest in repairing both my roommate's, my own, and my brother's automobiles.
This week's comet provided a great opportunity to share the use of these telescopes with neighbors, and strangers in the bookstore parking lot, of which many of them knowing of parts of the sky by doxa (suspected as false), and my simple sharing of telescope views was their first experience of gnosis of those same parts of the sky.
To ask: What is it that I need to know this week, according to the Ogham?

Date: 2024-10-20 02:49 am (UTC)For the you card, you drew Ur or intimacy, well dignified. Your self knowledge is increasing in leaps and bounds, and this helps in every single arena of your life. Not only are you deepening ties and making more quality relationships, you are also figuring out your own deal breakers and what constitutes quality. Ur is always a reminder to stay discreet. Refrain from seeing the first thing that brings from your lips and follow Eliphas Levi’s fourth rule of maintaining silence.
For the outcome, you drew Koad or Confluence ill dignified. This week could definitely have some downs, and they will be partially because of what you’ve set in place. The difficult part here will be determining where you are culpable and what you can do about that, if anything. It’s really important not to assume you are more culpable than you are, and to keep your own responsibility in perspective…easier said than done.

Thx

Re: Week
Date: 2024-10-20 03:01 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week. For the You position, you drew Muin or harvest, well dignified. Your expectations are in check with reality. You have struck a healthy balance between pessimism and optimism. It is not always true that you give what you get, at least not right away. There is a great deal of problems with the “what comes around goes around” saying. As mere mortals, we cannot possibly know repercussions of any given action by ourselves or others or how long that will take to make the big giant loop. Nevertheless, giving people the benefit of the doubt and putting out the best energy you can squeeze out of yourself does make you a better person, little by little.
For the Situation, you drew Coll or Wisdom, well dignified. Your willingness to earn your expertise does not go unnoticed by higher powers. Taking the long route and being willing to work for whatever wealth you have will impact you long after this lifetime is over. This card is always advice to keep your mouth shut at the right time, because you will save yourself an awful lot of trouble if you do.
For the Outcome, you drew Eadha or Limits ill dignified. You will be tempted to push yourself far too hard, or you will have pushed yourself too hard, and you will have burn out. If you are a naturally Type A person, cut yourself some slack and force relaxation and rest before Mama nature does it for you. If you are a naturally Type B person, prepare to correct the imbalance with diligence and a refusal to give up.

Date: 2024-10-20 03:08 am (UTC)They think the two latter choices are the best ones. For moving in the next three months, they give Ruis or Regret ill dignified, meaning you will likely come to regret trying to make that happen so soon. Haste makes waste.
For moving within six months, They give Ngetal or Hygiene well dignified, Which is to say that it is a healthy timeframe that you would be able to pull off with your current limits.
For staying put, they give Saille or Sensitivity well dignified, which means that all affected by this stasis would prosper and that staying is the most healing of choices where you are sacrificing the right things. Whether you choose to stay or go, it involves some sort of sacrifice. It’s a good idea to meditate on what sacrifice means in any of these cases.

Date: 2024-10-20 03:19 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Oír or Epiphany well dignified. The realizations you’ve been landing have been painful, but they are the exact ones you need to grow as a human being. It is never too late to know what you should keep what you should walk away from. There is great power in knowing even if it does not seem obvious at first glance.
For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity ill dignified. This can be a card of mollycoddling. Because it is in the position of Situation, this excess worry might be affecting you and not yours alone to own. The easiest thing to say in the hardest thing to actually do is to trust in God. Uilleand can also indicate an excessive generosity from you that is destined to come back your way in the form of positive energy multiplying upon itself.
For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching well dignified. This week is a time to rest in the knowledge you have earned and the expertise that you have already paid the price for. It is a good week to put time into a pasttime that you truly love that you have some mastery in doing.

Date: 2024-10-20 03:29 am (UTC)You and the family drew three cards this week.
For the You card, you drew Saille or Sensitivity Ill dignified. It is highly likely that emotions run high this week, and that you or other family members are either oversensitive, undersensitive, or some combination of the two. Oversensitivity is is an extremely common condition: When a couple of little things can ruin your day, that’s oversensitivity. The roller coaster of oversensitivity causes burnout, and even physical illness. Its important to maintain a diligent order, to stay tidy, and to Glad Game any annoying situation that pops up.
For the Situation, you drew Nuin or Communication, ill dignified. Beware autistic literalism which you do not need to be autistic to have. I define autistic literalism as the silly idea that the world has to play by the rules we in our own heads. Also, expect machines to not be working properly, travel to be stymied, and dealings with strangers to be frustrating. Be on guard for negative outside influences trying to come into the home from the computer, media, or the phone.
For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace well dignified. Your ability to know when something is not meant for you or no longer meant for you is your great strength this week. Even though it may seem like no one sees your strength or deference, the Divine sees it. Letting go is the toughest thing, our whole world is fraught with attachment, and though I am certainly not one who thinks all attachment is bad, it all comes with certain surefire side effects.
