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: 2024-11-30 05:16 am (UTC)What advice do the Ogham provide so I may make the month of December a better month than not?
no subject
Date: 2024-11-30 10:12 pm (UTC)You drew three cards for November.
For the You card, you drew Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. No matter what you do, December is a lucky month for you. The collective astral around you is in a relative state of smooth sailing. You can take advantage of this general clarity by looking into your own past with a shrewd eye and looking towards the future.
For the Situation, you drew Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. Anytime Coll shows up, whether well- or ill-dignified, it is a warning to keep your mouth shut at the right time or when you are in doubt if it is the right time. Coll's wisdom is earned -- it is not mere book learning. Coll talks about the willingness to immerse yourself in the learning process, coming at it from all angles. This kind of deep learning is what it takes to develop a mental sheath, which some speculate is the whole reason for human incarnation in the first place.
For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. Luis is one of my Ogham's danger cards, especially in this dignity, so you are warned not to take risks unless you absolutely must. Other than that, it warns you that you may be projecting a shadow and acting out your fears and anxieties about yourself on someone else, or that someone may be doing this to you. Always ask yourself "Where might this be coming from?" when you feel someone is putting you on the defense or when you are accused at coming at them. Often, it comes from a hidden part within and needs to be examined in the light of day.
"Week 49"
Date: 2024-11-30 08:54 am (UTC)1. What do I need to know in order to make the best out of the first week of Dec.?
2. During the past few days, I've been getting the feeling that relatives aren't necessarily receptive to my keeping in touch with them. This feeling may be simply my imagination, but I believe it has some basis in that I did not do a good job from 2002 to the present in establishing/maintaining regular contact with them. I have a fear that pre-12-Steps-me simply used them as support during college (1998-2002) or whenever I needed them, then vanished whenever I didn't need them. And I'm not sure of my efforts between 2020 to the present. May the Ogham comment on this?
Thanks,
-Eugene
Re: "Week 49"
Date: 2024-11-30 10:23 pm (UTC)You drew three cards for this week.
For the You card, you drew Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified. Try not to make hasty presumptions this week and give what you say as much thought as possible before saying it. Don't overlook valuable sources of healing and information: old books, old memories, and odd coincidences. This is a good week to look at where you have been and how far you have come.
For the Situation, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. When you are beset with the guilt of bad memories, it is an important test put forth by the spirit guides who assist you with incarnation. You can either wallow in self-pity and hopeless, circular thought patterns of self-flagellation or you can resolve not to do that anymore and pick up a new, positive thread. Of course I am going to suggest you do the latter. The Ogham see you overcoming a past regret this week.
For the Outcome, you drew Ngetal or Health ill-dignified. This is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so it comes with a warning to lay low, to stick to positive habits, and not to put yourself at risk. Knowing your own propensities goes a long way in preventing relapse. Fear of missing out can lead us down the garden path to backslide -- try to cut it off at the pass. Day to day diligence is what heals slowly but surely.
For your general query about your relatives, the Ogham say it's all good and your relatives don't see you as some sort of good time Charlie who calls them when it is convenient. They give Koad or Confluence well-dignified, which means they were happy to be there for you with no expectation of payback. You are lucky to have them.

Date: 2024-11-30 10:55 am (UTC)Update: the get-together yesterday went well. Things veered into politics, but no explosions. We kept it civil, although they probably suspect that I might have voted for the Orange Julius.
Nothing to ask. Just the update.
Thanks Kimberly!
Ennobled little day

Date: 2024-11-30 11:40 am (UTC)To review: This week I have been leaning on Tinne and Ur. Since I had two family gatherings this past week, Christmas tree hunting and Thanksgiving, I leaned in on ill-dignified Ur's lack of direct intimacy and the distancing of Tinne, and took on the role of photographer.
Using the photographer's distance to see the forest for the trees, I managed to maintain an indirect intimacy. The polaroid camera I brought along was especially useful, lending out the camera allowed others to create their own memories, the instant photo frames themselves became gifts as they were handed out. I took along a film camera I fixed up, I hope that once developed, the photos taken will become other gifts.
Elsewhere this week, I found another old thing that I am reviving. It is another camera who's film went out of production decades ago, but can be revived by use of adapters to use a derivative of the original filmstock. As a consequence of fixing up and putting to use one old thing, my eyes have opened up to others.
To ask: What is it that I need to know this week, according to the Ogham?
no subject
Date: 2024-11-30 10:32 pm (UTC)Thanks for the feedback. It sounds like a wonderful bit of restoration with the cameras.
You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified. Keep an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out. Meaning, know where your limits are when someone offers you information or what they are calling knowledge, but also don't be dismissive if a source is faulty or if there is credentialism involved. Good information can come from strange and faulty sources... it has been known to happen.
For the Situation, you drew Quert or Delight well-dignified. This week you partake in the delights of civilization, and you are sufficiently generous and gracious to add to the positive feedback loop of small acts of goodness that make civilization a worthwhile project. To be part of Quert consciousness invokes a higher and more subtle set of energies that are badly needed in our current world.
For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. Le sigh... this is one of my Ogham's danger cards, especially in this dignity, so it comes with the usual warning that you need to be especially risk adverse this week. Take vitamins and carry pepper spray in the woods. Other than that, it talks about imbalance of mojo or Martial force. Too little, and you find yourself being bowled over by stronger and ruder people. Too much and you're the proverbial bull in a china shop, acting and speaking rashly and making unnecessary trouble.
Getting back into local politics?
Date: 2024-11-30 05:25 pm (UTC)In brief: during most of the 2010s, I was active in a political party here in my European country and overall felt I got a lot out of the experience. The combination of a major move and disillusionment with the trajectory of that party (think: gradual takeover by PMC) made me step out of politics, but I kind of miss it too. Lately I've been considering joining another party that seems more genuinely radical and populist and has been in the ascendant recently, but I'm also ambivalent about both some aspects of the party itself and whether politics is a worthwhile use of time and effort at all.
So as a supplement to my own divination and ponderings, I'd like to ask: what does your Ogham think about my prospects if I join this party and commit to being active in its local branch? Again, thank you for hosting this space and doing divinations for us.
Re: Getting back into local politics?
Date: 2024-11-30 10:38 pm (UTC)Overall my Ogham say don't do it, at least not at this point in time.
For the You position, they give Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. You need to work on yourself and that also means deepening ties with your loved ones and close friends. They need you more than the political scene needs you. The Ogham suggest you look at your close relationships and ask yourself how you can spend more quality time with your nearest and dearest.
For the Situation, they give Gort or Perseverance well-dignified. This card seems to say that local politics will be waiting for you when you are truly ready. They agree, you do have what it takes to succeed in the local political scene and that has not gone away.
For the Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. At this point, the local political scene is still clogged by dissonant dimwits. Any good ideas you want to get rolling are pearls before swine. Best to develop your thoughts and strategies on your own and forge the ammunition you'll need when it is time to jump back in.

Date: 2024-11-30 11:07 pm (UTC)The Ogham provide three cards for you this week.
For the You card, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. I often draw this card when I am impatient about money or when money is tight, so save big purchases for later but don't scrimp so hard that you cannot enjoy life. Gort may also be warning about projects or people that are a lost cause and a sunk investment -- don't waste any more of your precious time on them. Yet another possibility is that your energy is low and you need to retreat and recuperate.
For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Health ill-dignified. Straight up, this is an admonition to be vigilant about your health in every way. Beyond physical health, it can be talking about unhealthy attitudes that you're clinging to or bad habits you need to curtail. Because this is in Situation, it could be talking about an ailing or afflicted loved one. We all suffer from etheric starvation, present company included. The best remedy for etheric starvation is sunlight, especially on the area right below the heart. The second best remedies are good, home-cooked food and sleep.
For the Outcome, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. You know what to keep and what to throw out when it comes to the information and knowledge you need. This is a good week to prune out toxic media sources and to scrutinize the advice being given by those who purport to have your best interests in mind. Only you can know your own best interests.
As far as getting Luis frequently, you're taking it far too literally, I'm afraid. Luis is also the connection to your Holy Guardian Angel and if it keeps coming up, it likely means your HGA is trying to get in touch with you and sometimes failing (ill-dignified). Developing the perceptive skills necessary to glean direct messages from higher beings can take several lifetimes; personally I am nowhere near mastering it. You need to ask yourself what messages you believe your HGA has told you thus far and how that informs the purpose of your incarnation? What are you best and most natural at doing as a human? When have you gotten in your own way as far as pursuing your passions is concerned?
Living well
Date: 2024-11-30 09:44 pm (UTC)I hope you are enjoying the Thanksgiving weekend.
A while back I requested your Ogham advise me on a living situation. The Ogham indicated that if I picked a certain option it would work out well, but I would be lonely. That is the option I chose and the Ogham were exactly right. I was very lucky and a bit of loneliness was a fair trade-off.
We are working with a new advisor to sort out some continuing issues concerning where we live.
1 - What few do your Ogham give for working with the new advisor?
2 - What do your Ogham say about living in C?
3 - i - What do your Ogham say about living in G?
- ii - Is it possible to continue without crossing our "red line"?
With thanksgiving for your skill and time, and many blessings, Heloise
Re: Living well
Date: 2024-11-30 11:27 pm (UTC)Thanks for the feedback! I am happy the Ogham could accurately give you a snapshot of what was in store.
My Ogham think working with the new advisor will go well. They provide Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified, meaning that keeping things down to earth and tactful will go a long way with this person. Think honest, but not too honest -- white lies to spare feelings honest.
For living in C, they give Onn or Community ill-dignified. The people in C may turn out to be a bit of an issue -- one bad apple can spoil the bunch, or it could be a case of a community that isn't good at accepting newcomers. The Ogham give me the sense that if you're patient, you can work things out in C though.
For living in G, they are not too keen on it. They give Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. This points to G not being as affordable as advertised for whatever reason, or presenting difficulty when a stay is more than temporary. Is it possible without crossing the "red line"? No, they say it is not. They give Muin or Harvest ill-dignified, meaning that the investment will prove faulty.

Date: 2024-11-30 11:40 pm (UTC)The Ogham give you three cards this week, all well-dignified. As much as that may seem like a prediction that all will come up roses, it is most likely nothing of the sort. I have had blissful all-ill-dignified reading days and splitting headaches on all-well-dignified readings, so make of it what you will.
For the You position, you got Mór or Sea Change. The general collective astral weather in your neighborhood is much better than usual. If you aren't feeling as good as the weather, at least you can take advantage of seeing things clearly and honestly. You did nothing to cause this clarity but you can benefit from it by looking at the distant past as well as the future. Logically, map out where you've been and where you are to determine the trajectory of various aspects of your life and you'll glean some key insights with the help of this "good" weather.
For the Situation, you drew Fearn or Bridge. You are able to connect with the information and knowledge you need via books, media, and other people in a way that is usually not forthcoming. As far as imbalance, be careful of the instinct to kill the messenger -- sometimes we aren't ready for the information coming our way.
For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection. Luis is always a danger card in my Ogham no matter what the dignity, but as I said to a commenter upthread, when Luis shows up frequently in your readings, it usually is talking about the connection with your Holy Guardian Angel who tries to guide you toward your purpose for incarnating. Obviously, stay risk adverse and wear an amulet. Other than that, Luis is a matter of subtle discernment. It truly is imperative that you know your own mind (preferably through discursive meditation) so you can discern what messages you are getting and from whom the information comes.
Reading for December

With thanks,
P
Re: Reading for December
Date: 2024-12-01 04:30 am (UTC)You drew three cards for December. All were ill-dignified. As much as an all ill-dig reading may seem like a portent of doom, I must insist this is NOT the way the Ogham work. I have had some of the best and sweetest days of my life on all ill-dig readings. Consider this reading a gentle warning to help avoid imbalance well before it gets established.
For the You position, you drew Ruis or Regret. Regret can feel like a taskmaster. Considering that we are supposed to learn from what we regret, the Ogham remind you that all regret is an opportunity to choose to make the best out of what went wrong and to use it to become a better person. Even the worst of us has to start from somewhere. The other warning is if you are not regretting enough, you may be dabbling in solipsism or pridefulness. If so, come back down to Earth and take responsibility for what you've done.
For the Situation, you drew Duir or Gifts. There isn't a true bad side to Duir in any dignity. In the ill-dig position, it can mean being made aware of your privileges, perhaps with some insistence or pain, or that someone is trying to distract from their own privileges by painting you or your loved one as privileged. Make the most of Duir by giving from your heart and doing it with humility. The gifts you give will return to you sevenfold on seven planes.
For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience. This week might feature some drama. The Watcher is watching to see how you handle it. It is also a warning that worry can quickly become a destructive, idle pastime. Worrying about any given condition typically makes it worse, because so much time is spent working oneself into a froth of anxiety and so little is spent actually earthing it out in direct action. Better to put worry in its place and do something constructive about it or change the subject altogether.
True or false
Date: 2024-12-01 12:23 am (UTC)I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving. I would like to ask the Ogham if either A or B is true?
Thank you,
-MF
Re: True or false
Date: 2024-12-01 04:32 am (UTC)My Ogham give you Oir or Epiphany for Option A. I asked for well-dignified to indicate A and ill-dignified to indicate B. Oir is a lightning bolt, "Eureka!" discovery, so it seems that A is fairly emphatic.

Thanks!
-PW
no subject
Date: 2024-12-01 04:39 am (UTC)You and the family drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. This week is a good one to stay inside, lay low, and to take it easy. A convergence of factors, some of which you caused or can control and many that you cannot, make for a somewhat difficult week. You cannot control what happens, but you can certainly control your reaction to it, so choose your battles wisely and don't be afraid to say a hard NO.
For the Situation, you drew Beith or Intention ill-dignified. You and the fam are going too many directions at once at a low-energy time of year. You have the Ogham's permission to cancel plans, to minimize obligations, and to let some things slide. Nobody is perfect except God! It is the sort of week where your get up and go got up and went.
For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. Regret is the ugliest and cringiest part of being human. To rise to the challenge, we have to own what we said or did and resolve not to do that anymore. Also, be ready to Glad Game the person, place, or thing that is getting you down. For every single negative, think up three positives about that person, place, or thing. This combats our human tendency to fixate on hurt, pain, and anger and pushes us towards a better way of coping with constantly being challenged.
