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, March 22, 2025 - Friday, March 28, 2025.
My next planned break is from Saturday, March 22, 2025 - Friday, March 28, 2025.
I take reading requests from whenever this post goes up on Friday night until 8pm US Central Time Saturday.

Date: 2025-01-04 07:23 am (UTC)To review: That reading covered the first week I came back to work as well as the run up to Christmas. Phagos came about as there were many new faces that were clearly confused when I breezed in and effortlessly solved issues they were struggling with and gave pithy pointers. Quert was in part a matter of timing, the immediate shift to Christmas mode right after a short stint of work obligated the shift. Fearn turned harebrained ideas for no one in particular at an antique store blooming into oddly well fitting gifts for someone specifically.
To ask: What is it that I need to know this week, according to the Ogham?

You drew three cards this week. For the You card, you drew Beith or Intention well-dignified. You have presence and purpose this week, going forward decisively and carrying out your will with balance and diligence. It is a good week to strip away distractions, whether they are in physical form or little things that keep you from productivity, such as being lured away by various chores or media.
For the Situation, you drew Mór or Sea ill-dignified. Don't be surprised if someone is in a grumpy or brittle mood, including yourself, or if someone has disturbed dreams or if you have a klutzy day or two. You did nothing to cause this and you can't do much to correct it: the collective astral around you is in a bad state. Don't make any big decisions, don't make large purchases, don't go on big excursions, and plan on laying low this week if you can.
For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. You can expect a sweet day or two at least and this comes directly from what you've put in place in your life, so take a moment to give yourself a much earned pat on the back. If you have any extra, use it to squirrel away for the future, or if you can, sublimate it by performing a charitable act. People often think I'm only talking about money here, but "putting away for a rainy day" might mean making a big batch of bean soup and freezing it and "charitable acts" can be as simple as honoring the planets with a little magical timing.

Date: 2025-01-04 08:53 am (UTC)I’ve been pretty sick (probably caused by Covid infection). Do the Ogham have any prediction as to when I might get back to normal, or at least better? I’m sick of being sick!
Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2025-01-04 09:22 pm (UTC)The Ogham give you three cards for this week. All are well-dignified. As much as this might seem like a cakewalk at first glance, keep in mind I have had some doozies on all well-dignified weeks. My Ogham simply give this kind of reading to indicate that you'll be your best self when dealing with the struggles of this week.
For the You position, you drew Phagos or Gnosis. Having been around the block once or twice is going to be much to your advantage. At worst, you'll have enough foreknowledge to avoid a heap of trouble, and as always, the Ogham recommend keeping silent/shutting your trap if you are in doubt. At best, you will be able to help yourself and others because you know things.
For the Situation, you drew Onn or Community. Your camaraderie with the world of semi-strangers is high this week, and this is the advantage of not having the lifestyle of the rich and famous. You'll always have people who understand you and you will understand them at this level. To have more may be nice, but it does impart cluelessness.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity. This points to getting some healing for your etheric body, and that is going to make you feel a bit better. Get as much sunlight as you can and try to expose the spleen area (right underneath your heart) to direct sunlight. People who tan in bikinis seldom starve on the etheric. In my own case, I try to get this kind of direct light in my car and I am usually able to disguise what I am doing or get to where nobody is around to see.
For the "Will I heal?" question, the Ogham seem to think you are already on the mend. They give Quert or Delight well-dignified. You might have a case of the nanobots. I am unvaxxed and I believe I have them. I take zinc every day with meals, about 15 mg 2x a day. Zinc chelates iron and I believe it chelates graphene, which is what the vax and its shedding implants in human blood. Never take zinc on an empty stomach: you will regret it. Severe nausea and horrible "burning the candle from both ends" if you get my drift. But zinc behaving badly can clue you in to what it does. Zinc purges the system of invaders. I am considering going on the nicotine patch, not because I have any craving for nicotine but in order to kill nanobots. I already take vitamin C. There is also a blood chelator called EDTA. I don't yet take it but I am considering getting some.

Date: 2025-01-04 09:31 pm (UTC)The Ogham see three cards for your 2025.
For the You card, they provide Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. Ugh, the card of living dangerously! Be risk adverse this year and wear a red bag amulet whenever possible. This card often warns of either over-defensiveness or vulnerability, or an unfortunate combo of both. You will be tasked with keeping worry in balance, neither throwing caution to the wind/acting rashly nor working yourself into a froth of anxiety.
For the Situation, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. It's easy to go whole hog overkill, so exercise temperance. It's also easy to overreact into stinginess or to be easily fatigued -- replace parsimony with generosity, but do not allow blind generosity which is the same as being a spendthrift. Meditating on where you stand in important matters ahead of time can go a long way. This was the modus operandi of the Stoics, to think out all possible scenarios before they happened.
For the Outcome, you drew Beith or Intention well-dignified. Despite the troubles of the other cards, 2025 is your year to seek and find your truth. You may have to prune away a great deal of what isn't meant for you (at least not in this incarnation) but the more gracefully you let go, the more good energy flow you invite into your life.

The Ogham give you three cards for 2025.
For the You card, they provide Ruis or Regret well-dignified. This is the year you sort out your true mea culpas, and that means not everything others blame you for or what you have mistakenly blamed yourself for. Getting to the bottom of regret is life-altering. When you actually figure out what you have done wrong, you get the right tools you need to be a better person when rhyming situations arise, and they always arise.
For the Situation, you drew Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. There is some karma coming due tis year, and it is a test of your grace. It is meant to proof you for better and brighter things. Koad is a crossroads that can feel like a s**tstorm. Deals are made at the crossroads and it is difficult to gain a bird's eye view when you are enmeshed in it. This is definitely where I recommend praying to a deity or deities for guidance.
For the Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. OK, so it's your year to be strong and silent. The Ogham recommend it being a quiet year, with you saying very little and playing your cards close to the vest. Coll ill-dignified also shows you having some foolish moments or having to suffer others who are being fools, and again the recommendation here is to severely measure and limit your reactions.

Date: 2025-01-04 02:45 pm (UTC)1. What do I need to know to make the best of the week ahead of me? Two cards will do.
2. A woman has been trying to reach out to me over the last few months, but is not good at responding to my messages. She shared her phone number online but I’m hesitant to call it because she wouldn’t expect a call from me. What exactly does it take to make successful contact with her? I ask because she seems like she would be a good contact for my career.
3. How social should I be at this time in my life? I want to be more outgoing in my community and meet more people. I receive mixed signals as to whether I should be doing that, though I am also someone who tends to get their wires crossed and think irrationally.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-04 09:50 pm (UTC)You drew two cards for this week.
For the You card, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. You are helpful, kind, and considerate this week. The behavior is worth observing because you are essentially teaching yourself how to be. Take note of how people react to you, especially compared to the past energy you gave in more awkward situations.
For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. I'm sure you've heard this before, now my Ogham are telling it to you: You worry too much. Let go, unclench, relax. It has all worked out before -- you've gotten by in harder times than this. Worry is addictive. It doesn't necessarily feel good at any point but it is an addiction nonetheless. Worrying clouds your ability to be grateful for all that is good in this moment. Don't allow it to blind you. Focus on the good all around and within you and be thankful for it every time you are tempted to worry about how bad it could get.
My Ogham say don't call her, text her. They give Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified, which is your clue that you need to get with modern times. Pretty much everyone prefers texting, including me. A phone call is too much unless it is a blood relative or a spouse (even then, texting suffices 75% of the time) and an email never gets seen among all the spams.
For your social life, my Ogham say you need to get out there and meet some strangers. They give Nuin or Communication well-dignified, which is a clarion call to find a group and join it, whether online or off. As for getting your wires crossed, yeah, I get that. Being with other people can be overwhelming. There is only one way to learn to engage with other people though and that is immersion.

I am considering three more talismans: F, M, and A. What do your Ogham think about each?
Thanks, as always!
Ennobled little day
no subject
Date: 2025-01-04 11:36 pm (UTC)My Ogham like A. I will explain.
For F, they give Quert or Delight ill-dignified. The details of F are somehow wrong. It may be perfect for someone else, just not for you. The energy is too feminine or ambiguous.
For M, they give Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. This one would work but the effect would not be lasting, and you should hope for a talisman that lasts.
For A, they give Eadha or Limits well-dignified. A represents a balance that will help you strike balance within your own life. The Ogham seem to think it is right for you.

Date: 2025-01-05 12:07 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. There are two potentials of imbalance you'll have to navigate this week. One is feeling particularly negative or gloomy. We live in a relentlessly negative world and it is one of the hardest ages to focus on the uplifting, positive, generous, and happy in a genuine way. We can only do this by identifying the negative and assigning it a proper subordinate role. Far too many people slingshot to the opposite extreme of false transcendence, and it's hard to argue which is worse: bogus brightsiding or nihilistic negativity. Find a way to tip towards the positive while realistically acknowledging the negative. It is the Golden Mean.
For the Situation, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. You are lucky to be influenced by someone who has got a good perspective when it comes to worry. This being may or may not be human -- in my own case, much of the good advice I get comes from my spirit guides. Worry is a fine thing and we need it for self-preservation and survival. It only becomes poisonous when it is either excessive and takes over our lives in the form of anxiety or when we discard it and become reckless as if our life was not precious.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. The modern predicament is to be sensitive to all the wrong things -- is it any wonder how many people suffer sensitivity to everything from certain foods to EMFs? And that does not begin to scratch the surface of emotional sensitivity. The pattern is predictable: oversensitivity leads to sensory fatigue. Awareness is half the battle here, so if you feel overstimulated, find a way to get some space. Not everything has to happen NOW NOW NOW.

Could I please have a general reading for this year?
I also wanted to ask if the strange coincidences with timings and a fox that we've started to give a bit of food randomly mean something more...or maybe this is the question for next Saturday instead ; P
Many thanks again,

The Ogham give you three cards for 2025.
For the You position, they provide Quert or Delight well-dignified. This is your year to appreciate the little things, to learn to live in the moment, and achieve harmony within yourself and nature via gratitude. Little things are often taken for granted but without them, life would hardly be worth living and civilization would be a failed project. Never allow any good deed to go unthanked. Even gratitude of the silent type matters. You think nobody hears it but you would be wrong. Gratitude is always heard.
For the Situation, you drew Mór or Sea ill-dignified. Via no fault of your own, this is a year where your local astral climate will be in the septic tank. People with no genuine form of spiritual devotion are in for it -- they will be up a proverbial creek without a paddle. This should not be a year of big decisions or big moves unless they absolutely cannot be avoided.
For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. Ah, the danger card showing up ill-dignified in another reading! I'm not shocked; we live in dangerous times. The only real defense comes from within. The Ogham suggest facing off with your worst fears in meditation. It's a tough thing to do but if you do it, you will transform your life. They also suggest being pragmatic: how many people do you know who are obsessed with the Apocalypse Meme? Keep in mind that sort of useless anxiety is expressly designed to keep their eyes off the prize, and the saddest part is they might never realize it.

Date: 2025-01-05 01:16 am (UTC)Repeating patterns
Date: 2025-01-05 01:39 am (UTC)I hope you had a wonderful holiday season.
About a month ago, I asked about the causes of condition A and how to resolve it. The question on whether I had correctly identified the cause was answered with Ur ill-dignified. The question of whether my then current plan was capable of resolving it was answered with Huath ill-dignified. In the interim, the whole situation surrounding it has blown up. The other advice I received from the Ogham during summer and fall situated me well for managing it. However, it is still a difficult situation.
I would like to ask the Ogham four questions surrounding this issue: A, B, C, and D. I'm sorry for being vague, but I've found blinded questions help me form the questions clearly and result in more actionable answers.
Thank you,
-MF
Re: Repeating patterns
Date: 2025-01-05 02:36 am (UTC)For A, they provide Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. Huath ill-dignified represents a misplacement, excess, or lack of vital force. Powering through either isn't an option or it is too harsh and clumsy for the matter at hand. It's important not to force things, but if you're being forced into a corner, you may have no choice except to go into battle mode.
For B, they give Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. B is not a viable solution. Either it misses the mark or worse, it masks the symptoms while the cause of those symptoms worsens.
For C, they give Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. C is out of reach, and it is possible that it would not work anyway.
For D, they give Nuin or Communication well-dignified. D involves trusting strangers, using travel or technology, and generally doing something novel and new, perhaps in the "everything old is new again" sense of the term.

Date: 2025-01-05 03:09 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You card, you drew Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. This is a good week for learning as long as the pupil is willing to work at a steady pace. Anytime this card shows up, it is a signal to shut up no matter what the dignity -- be ready to buy time with your silence. You don't need to say very much; perhaps it is better to say nothing at all.
For the Situation, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. There are two possible imbalances with Ioho ill-dig. One is that you are letting go too easily and giving up without a fight. The other is that you are clinging to what is not meant to be or what is now in the past. As always, the middle path of discrimination is best. Choose carefully what you will hold on to and be prepared to be ruthless about what you will let go.
For the Outcome, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. This card represents giving others the benefit of the doubt and making the best out of middling or sketchy situations. Yes, sometimes we are not given much to work with, but we will always have more when we appreciate what we are working with instead of denigrating it. There are treasures to be had in dumpsters for those willing to put in the time to dive.
My Ogham think you should go. They give Beith or Intention well-dignified.
