Ogham Readings on Saturdays

[kimberlysteele]

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

 
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.

I take reading requests from whenever this post goes up on Friday night until 8pm US Central Time Saturday.

Hi Kimberly, what does my next week look like?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

You drew three cards for the upcoming week.

For the You position, you drew Oir or Epiphany well-dignified. You are brutally honest with yourself, and it is because of this pull-no-punches attitude and your own mental diligence that the gods are likely to come to your aid when you need them. Oir is a card of humility and grace, so don't expect it to be easy. What is humbling is never easy.

For the Situation, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. It's important for you and those close to you not to get impatient and rush outcomes. Also, look for hopeless behaviors, bad investments, and lost causes and sequester them for elimination or at very least minimization. There is also a possibility of taking a good thing too far -- know when to quit.

For the Outcome, you drew Gort or Perseverance well-dignified. Along with Oir, this shows a dogged determination not to allow Perfect to be the enemy of Done. You are showing grit and following through with your commitments -- this is Saturnian. Saturn isn't an easy one to please but if you manage to do it, he will reward you richly for your steadfastness.

What’s up this week, and do the Ogham think I’ll ever get well?

Hi PCK,

You drew three cards for this week.

For the You position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. This card indicates it could be a challenge, but you shine as your best self this week. You muster the strength to be better than what life throws at you and better than the sum of your parts. This card is always a reminder to say less than necessary and to stay humble and kind, because those are the only things that matter.

For the Situation, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. You are likely to feel like your get up and go got up and went and unfortunately the feeling is contagious, so those around you will probably feel the same way. Not everything is worth following through, and whether it is worthwhile or not, it is going to feel like a slog this week.

For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. This one points to untrustworthy allies, connections, or friends who are not in the position to help. It also can be talking about devious fraudsters and profiteers. There is a also a frustration with what you don't know or what cannot be known.

My Ogham say No, they do not believe you will get well. They give Mór or Sea ill-dignified, which means that it will likely remain out of reach for the rest of this incarnation. The Ogham are usually not this blunt. I actually asked them if they wanted to answer this and they said Yes. I hope this answer from them gives you a chance to make peace with your suffering and pain.

Greetings Kimberly!

What's up for me this week?

With thanks and blessings, Heloise

Hi Heloise,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You card, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. Your ability to curate your personality, say what needs to be said and no more, and sensitivity truly shine this week. Brashness and boldness do not always equal strength, and as they say "it's the quiet ones you've got to look out for". Your ability to keep the right secrets is a source of genuine power.

For the Situation, you drew Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. Not everything works out grand this week, and though much of it is out of your sphere of influence, there is some of it you can control. This is a week to proceed carefully, to delay before making any agreements or commitments, and to hang back and watch what happens.

For the Outcome, you drew Eadha or Limits well-dignified. Knowing when to stay in your lane is a powerful skill and the source of great harmony. This card is as much about what you are avoiding as it is what you are actually doing and being. It's a good week to meditate upon the people, places, and things you've left out and how those omissions have improved your life.

Good afternoon Kimberly,

To ask: What is it that I need to know this week, according to the Ogham?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

You drew three cards.

For the You position, you drew Gort or Perseverance well-dignified. This is definitely no guarantee of smooth sailing -- it's more like the Ogham giving you kudos for your diligence and willingness to go through the routines necessary towards self-realization. It is not Herculean cramming efforts and revelations but tiny acts of dedication that uplift the soul.

For the Situation, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. This one points towards some etheric starvation, potential crabby moods and poor health, and a need to prune material possessions and commitments. Oversensitivity often leads to burnout, so the feeling of being rode hard and put away wet is often a result of sensory overload. It's reliably common in the modern world. Remedies for the etheric body include less screen time, good homemade food, avoiding caffeine, sunlight, and massage.

For the Outcome, you drew Mór or Sea well-dignified. The collective astral weather in your local area is remarkably clear. This makes it an ideal time for hashing out long term plans and big purchases, looking deeply into the past in meditation, and for assessing where you are right now. Take advantage of the clear astral conditions to make new friends and to begin relationships with the spirits of place via gratitude.

Hi Kimberly, what should I keep in mind for the week ahead? Thanks.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

You drew three cards for the week.

For the You position, you drew Quert or Delight well-dignified. This is a week of etheric replenishment for you. Take your time, enjoy the little details, and notice the small things and be grateful for them in the way so many have lost in our era. Beauty, aesthetics, and loveliness make themselves apparent to you and help to balance and heal.

For the Situation, you drew Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. Self-caused trouble is brewing, and it may be from an overreaction, so hopefully you can stop this overreaction and prevent it from happening or at least ameliorate it. Because this is Situation, the overreaction might belong to someone close to you, and in this case, it is important for you to stay cool and collected so you don't add to the energy of the overreaction.

For the Outcome, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. You are in a position to see the kindnesses you have done in the past return to you. It's a great week to observe the kind of misery that goes along with excessive parsimony and to defeat it by being more generous. Because genuine generosity blesses everything it touches by the power of seven, the more genuine your generosity, the more likely it is to reverberate back to you and uplift your life.

Hi Kimberly,

I hope I'm still in time for this (it looks to be 6.30pm your time from the link given), but I wondered if you could give me a reading on a pretty weird topic.

Basically, we frequently find random things go missing in our house and turn up a few weeks later in obvious places, and improbable things happen far too frequently. Although my wife and I joke about it, I do actually think we may have a house elf, or similar.

So - my questions are:
1) Does our house have a protective spirit/elemental/etc living here?
2) If so, what does it think of us?
3) How can we improve its opinion of us, or remain on good terms with it?

Thank you.
Mr. Crow

[kimberlysteele]

Hmmm, interesting.

My Ogham give you three cards.

1) Yes, there is a protective spirit residing in your house. They give Onn or Community well-dignified, meaning it is a land spirit or what is often called an elemental. As you probably know, I have recently finished writing my book Sacred Homemaking, where I often talk about the spiritual ecosystem. All of us have spiritual ecosystems and so does any given physical ecosystem. As above, so below. Your spirit is attached to the house, so if you see a ghost of what seems like a human, it may very well be that spirit remembering the various people who lived in the house and on the land before you.

2) For this question, the Ogham give Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. The spirit is worried for you and thinks you are vulnerable. It is doing its best but it is not a god. There are a few things you should do immediately: print out some sacred geometric shapes and display them discreetly around various spots such as doorways or beds. Burning incense, especially frankincense, helps attract benevolent spirits much like planting blooming plants helps pollinators. Keeping the space clean and tidy and thanking objects, doors, floors, furniture, etc. will help raise the protective vibration. Plant some protective plants or trees (pots are fine if you are renting) and place them near doors. Above all, pray to at least one god and try to make a divine connection so your protective spirit can get the back up he or she needs and is asking for.

3) The spirit likes you. The Ogham give Beith or Intention well-dignified, which is to say it enjoys you both and hopes you will stay a long time. You can start talking to it. Thank it for protecting you, pour it a libation, or burn incense or a candle in its honor. You don't need to have a deep conversation with it -- it's not that kind of entity. A simple thanks and maybe some salt left in a small dish as offering would be nice. (Evil spirits cannot stand salt)

Hi Kimberly,

What's up for me and my family this week?

Thanks!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi PW,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You position, you drew Oir or Epiphany well-dignified. Growth is all about self-realization and though it may be painful, it looks like you and the family are making the necessary milestones. Make the most of this by gracefully accepting the truth, but also acknowledging your own strength and giving yourself the credit you deserve for being honest with yourself.

For the Situation, you drew Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. Failures to communicate are to be expected with this card, of course. This card is also a warning against autistic weaknesses such as autistic literalism and autistic narcissism. Autistic literalism is the belief that everything must operate in accordance to some arbitrary set of rules and autistic narcissism is the childlike need of the autistic person to force the world to revolve around his or her existence. Nobody in the family needs to be autistic in order to experience any of these phenomena!

For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. One of the things that creates distance is not focusing on the positive. It is all too easy to fall into the trap of not appreciating the good things we do for each other -- I am just as guilty as any spouse! Instead of harping on what has been done wrong, put it aside as much as possible (sometimes the need will be pressing and it will have to be addressed) and recognize the achievements, the sweetness, and the goodness in your family and friends.
