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: 2025-03-01 08:22 pm (UTC)You drew three cards for next week.
For the You position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. Not every challenge should be taken up this week: know when to say "when". Throwing in the towel is not all bad. Overall, my Ogham have been insisting that I personally learn to lighten up, and I am going to pass on that advice. It's okay to relax, and don't let Perfect be the enemy of Done.
For the Situation, you drew Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified. The spirit is urging you to be brutally truthful with yourself so that you don't become one of the many people who smokes their own brand of B.S. Self-honesty is not self-flagellation -- take it as constructive criticism and a chance to look at what you fear directly in the eye.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. This is the perfect week for eliminating excess and pruning away that which you don't like or are merely lukewarm about. Pruning makes you more flexible and stronger where you can shine the best. Distractions are often self-created, and we create them for ourselves so we can remove some of the chances at failing at what we love the best. Instead of fearing failure, remove the distractions to success.

Date: 2025-03-01 08:32 pm (UTC)You drew three cards.
For the You position, you got Beith or Beginnings well-dignified. Spring has sprung, at least as far as you are concerned. This is the beginning of your personal new year regardless of what anyone else is doing. You have focused willpower, making it an excellent time to forge new, good habits and to let go of old, bad ones.
For the Situation, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. This is one of my Ogham's physical danger cards, so I issue my usual warning about avoiding risk. Be careful not to resort to force when a situation is not going your way. Watch what you say and don't let your temper get the better of you. A difficult decision may arise that needs to be immediately addressed. Because this is in Situation, it may be happening to someone close to you in place of/in addition to yourself.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. You are becoming more attuned to your own living, spiritual ecosystem. The voices in your head are not all you. Some are malevolent, many are neutral, and a handful want the best for you. Your job is to sift out the voices who want to help you out of the collection.

Date: 2025-03-01 05:40 am (UTC)To review: This week, I have an agenda for the trip, and I am working my way through it, item by item. I am enormously grateful for my relatives who have been addressing Saille this week. Mor has been the overall vibe check that this trip has been, aiding in contextualizing my role in the farm and beyond.
To ask: What is it that I need to know this week, according to the Ogham?
no subject
Date: 2025-03-01 08:40 pm (UTC)Thanks for the feedback! You drew three cards this week.
For the You card, you drew Mór or Sea well-dignified. The astral weather in your neck of the collective is especially fair. You did nothing to cause this condition and you cannot choose when it ends, but what you can do is use it to your best advantage. Long term planning, detailed analyses and meditations on the past, and getting a big picture are easier this week than usual. It is a good week to make announcements or to begin large projects.
For the Situation, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. By sharing what you truly know, you sublimate your gifts. Yes, there could recognition and other goodness in it for you when you share. When you share your talents and wisdom without any need for adulation or popularity, it blesses you into the far future and solidifies your wisdom for the ages.
For the Outcome, you drew Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified. There may be no way of doing what you want to do, so you have to look at areas where you feel you are being held back and considering walking away/letting go. This is an era of terrible role models and many who are unwilling to do the personal work even if such role models exist. Realize you can lead a horse to water and be ready to quietly walk away if it comes to that.

Date: 2025-03-01 05:52 am (UTC)1-2. What should I know to make the best of the rest of this month? Two Ogham is sufficient.
4. Should I consider moving back to X town or staying in Y?
Thank you!
no subject
Date: 2025-03-01 08:50 pm (UTC)My Ogham give you two cards for March. For the You card, they give Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. Expectations may be getting out of hand and that could be why they are falling so short of reality. Yes, what you get is somewhat a result of what you put in, but if you plant the right seed in the right soil in the wrong weather, you'll still end up with late fruit or perhaps no fruit at all. Timing is everything -- if in doubt, leave it out, or at least wait until you have some time to think about it.
For the Outcome, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. Sometimes the best laid plans go south. That's just Meatworld/Bioworld sucking as usual. Your most valuable asset is your sense of humor. The point is not to eliminate all negativity, only to ratio the negative perceptions with positive ones until a Golden Mean is achieved of 67% positive and 33% (approximately on both numbers!) negative. All is perception because Meatworld is an illusion and probably a test.
For moving back to X, they say No, at least not right now. They give Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. Staying in Y is a better way to cultivate goodness of character and generosity.

Date: 2025-03-01 08:59 pm (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Gort or Perseverance well-dignified. Slow and steady wins the race. Those who go the slow road of diligence, daily routines, and minimum flashiness are often denigrated as boring but it's the same strategy in which a drop of water becomes a stream becomes a river that carves the Grand Canyon. It's hip to be square, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. Luis is one of my Ogham's physical danger cards, especially in this dignity, so take extra safety precautions and don't do anything on the cheap or in an oppositely-unbalanced, reckless way. Other than that, it is easy to think you've got all your bases covered when you've missed the mark entirely: my favorite example is the couple who moves to a leafy suburb so the kids will be "safe", and the high school culture ends up turning a perfectly good kid into a raging drug addict/alcoholic. The only true protection is the kind developed from the inside out.
For the Outcome, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. This card is about developing new, positive health habits, but because it is showing up with Luis ill-dig, I am going to again warn you about physical danger in the form of ill-health. You'll want to make sure to take zinc (on a full stomach every time) in addition to a quality multivitamin every day this week. Other than physical matters, Ngetal signifies you have developed a thick skin, but not so thick that you are obtuse and unsympathetic when you are needed for advice or comfort.

Date: 2025-03-01 03:35 pm (UTC)Further to my question last week, I formally introduced myself to our house and said hello, lit a candle, asked for anything lost to be returned to us, asked for the house's continued protection of us, and said that we would do our best to continue maintaining and improving the house.
Over the past week, 3 items which have been missing for several months have just suddenly turned up in really obvious places. I don't think the house was hiding them, I think it just didn't know we were looking for them.
What you wrote last week stuck with me though, that the house/land is worried about us, and feels we are vulnerable.
I wanted to therefore ask the following:
1) Why is the house spirit worried about us? (2 cards)
2) Unrelated (probably?), but I'm having something of a professional crisis at the moment and am aware I'm probably going to have to leave my job. I don't actually particularly enjoy my career, but I'm not really sure what else to do. I know what I enjoy, and what I'm good at, which is travelling, exploring, designing, creating and teaching. But - I don’t know how to assemble a job out of that, and even if I did, how to get from my current situation into a job along those lines. Can the Ogham give me any pointers? (2 cards - maybe 1 card for the job, and another on how to get into it?)
Thanks ever so much for offering this service. I'll put some money in your tip jar later.
Mr. Crow
Ps. Hope your student enjoyed the Neutral Milk Hotel song! Have I mentioned the band The Handsome Family before as well? If you don't know them, they have a similar 90s, grungey, slightly creepy vibe.

The Ogham says the house spirit is giving two cards, one for You and one for your Situation.
For the You card, the house spirit points to Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. Trust is the most difficult part of relationships and the house spirit wants you to trust each other. This means keeping secrets, and that includes not ever being your worst self in front of your mate. To try and give a bit of a lighthearted example, my husband often wants to barge in when I am in the bathroom (just like the cats) and I would rather keep my business to myself. He said that he heard me fart in my sleep and oddly it was the first time in several years that he heard me do that. I'm sure it happens all the time though when he is asleep. The point is it's OK to keep a little bit of mystery in a marriage.
For the Situation, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. The spirit is worried that the house is physically dangerous -- rusty nails, crappy wiring, bad pipes, criminals eyeing the place. This spirit is a bit of a worrywart. My suggestion is going to be the usual stuff: install a door camera or multiple cameras, print out geometric patterns and place them around the house as demon traps, and find ways of incorporating protective herbs into decor or planting them around the house.
For the professional crisis, they give you Ruis or Regret well-dignified. This job needs to be something that helps others deal with their anxiety. It's an anxious world, and in your own case you would have to master and let go of much of your own anxiety in order to grow into the new position. I am going to suggest the Modern Order of Essenes material if you don't yet study it: https://octagonsociety.org/archives/modern-order-of-essenes/ If you become an Essene healer, you can likely turn that into a small business. I think that is what they are suggesting. For the other card, they give Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. The Essene work is difficult and requires a great deal of painful change: basically, it is not a cakewalk and they are warning that you'll have to be very diligent and earnest if you want to make independent work into a reality.

Date: 2025-03-01 11:00 pm (UTC)And oddly enough, I've actually thought of being some form of healer multiple times before (but *not* a doctor). After a personal health crisis last year, I ended up learning a lot, having gone through a magical "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" approach. And the topics of anxiety and worry came up with my wife multiple times today, strangely. The Essenes material sounded interesting at the time when JMG originally posted it, but I never really got round to actually working through it, so thanks for the link, I'll check it out. I guess my ideal job would be almost something like a wandering shaman - crafting, consecrating and installing magical artefacts and talismans for people and generally fixing their metaphysical problems, like a plumber for the astral/etheric planes. You've definitely given me some things to think about.
I've asked several questions on here before, and your answers have always been spot-on, by the way. I'm impressed!

Date: 2025-03-01 09:30 pm (UTC)For the You card, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. Just when you thought it was over... it isn't. You're having an Illinois spring in some aspect of your life: a blast of cold weather as the crocuses are popping. (Crazy Illinoisans wear shorts anyways) Be ready to persevere. That said, always beware of false transcendence. We need to make as many positives as we can, but not at the expense of telling the truth about the negative.
For the Situation, you drew Ioho or Grace well-dignified. Grace can be a scary card because it is about the death of the old that must happen in order for the new to be born. Letting go of perfection, youth, and growing into a different energy is difficult work. The rewards for accepting the new paradigm are vast and far better than the results of clinging to what is not meant to be.
For the Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. This is a good week to keep your mouth shut and your thoughts to yourself. Timing is everything and if the timing isn't exactly right, shut up. Others benefit from the experiences you've been through though, so don't hesitate to share your expertise where you have it.

Date: 2025-03-01 09:39 pm (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards in this case.
For the You card, they give Onn or Community well-dignified, which is to say your own personal ecosystem of spirits is far better informed than your doctor. You truly know best and it is up to you to find the best ways to treat yourself. And for any medical Karens reading this, I don't know what I am talking about and I am making this all up as I go along.
For the Situation, you drew Oir or Epiphany well-dignified. Again, they say you will make the best decision for yourself. They see you trusting your gut.
For the Outcome, they give Quert or Delight ill-dignified. Quert in this dignity indicates etheric starvation. As I like to say, "everybody dies of something" and the goal is not to prevent death but to go to one's death in dignity and a resolution not to whine. In my own case, I am trying to stay very active so I don't lose my brain and my body to infirmity before I am good and ready. But they do say you've got an etheric starvation problem and you need to address it. Here is one of my essays on etheric starvation:

You also might want to peruse my other etheric plane essays:

Date: 2025-03-01 09:48 pm (UTC)Thank you very much for doing these readings & thank you for the open post the other day
Random happenings related to previous readings:
The foxes are not coming anywhere near as often (they used to come several times during the night) they still come by, but perhaps only once or twice when they come around. I have not fed them since that week you said we should stop…so it’s a bit more than a month now. I’ve noticed that I still would randomly wake up whenever the outside lights are triggered or just a few minutes before…which I find really odd.. but sometimes whatever triggers the motion detector is unknown because sometimes the camera won’t record. I’m hoping that as the weather gets better they’ll stop coming, I think I was the only one feeding them in this area.
About learning something that I might be able to get a bit of money/get paid in the future (because it takes a while to learn)…I have followed up and it’s up to me when to start it. I have decided to have a go at finishing organising the spare bedroom to have space to do my learning etc. Very embarrassed to admit that the house is not as tidy as I would wish, I’ve been ill off and on with random stuff out of nowhere in addition to full blown tiredness/exhaustion…my only achievements for the past couple of years have been to gather enough energy to work and keep my job! I haven’t had much energy left to do full cleaning up & tidying and all the rest – which I know I need to do! Anyway… the plan is to start this learning in 2 – 3 months...
To ask the Ogham today please:
1)What do I need know about next week?
2)What does the Ogham think about us going on holiday in March/April?
Thank you!

Date: 2025-03-02 12:13 am (UTC)You're very welcome.
My Ogham think you should begin putting food out for the foxes (and other critters) again. The jerky fox has likely moved on. They give Coll or Wisdom well-dignified.
You drew three cards for the week.
For the You position, you drew Onn or Community ill-dignified. It's too easy to ask too much of the community which includes extended family, neighbors, store clerks, school acquaintances or for them to ask too much of you. If you are asked to commit to a project, try to delay so you can think about it. To put it bluntly, people in the community might be acting like jerks.
For the Situation, you drew Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. It's a "meh" week and part of it is you and part of it cannot be helped by you or anyone else. Lay low, don't take life too seriously, and maintain your sense of humor as you ride this out. Small, proactive measures eventually will get the job done, and five minutes is always better than no minutes. Let five minutes be good enough.
For the Outcome, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. You owe yourself a pat on the back for how far you've come and how much of yourself you have realized. You don't lie to yourself as most people do and that helps you to see when people or other entities are lying to you. This is a good week to acknowledge positive changes you have made and build upon them.
My Ogham like the idea of your March April holiday. They give Eadha or Limits well-dignified, meaning if you schedule it right, it will be affordable and the factors will convene to make it a nice trip.

Date: 2025-03-01 10:37 pm (UTC)I hope you are well.
I am wondering what your Ogham have to say about this weeks trip?
I am also wondering what your Ogham have to say about why I feel nervous and panicky.
Thank you!

no subject
Date: 2025-03-02 12:24 am (UTC)Generally my Ogham like your trip this week.
For the You card, and I know this sounds redundant but it is the way the trip will impact YOU, they give Muin or Harvest well-dignified. You have the stability, sensitivity, and the appreciation of what is and is not important that makes the most of this trip. There will be a net good that comes out of it and you will be glad it went down the way it did.
For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. At it's worst, Uilleand isn't all that bad and if it is "bad", it means someone is being molly-coddled and pampered out of being able to have formative experiences or trying to buy someone's love. Uilleand ill-dignified frequently means an excess of generosity, and since true generosity sublimates everything it touches, it carries a pleasant forecast.
For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. Even in a good dignity, Luis is a danger card in my Ogham. Take zinc supplements 2 meals a day and a good multivitamin once a day and stay generally risk adverse. Wear a salt bag amulet, especially if you are taking a plane. Other than that, Luis is about being in touch with your higher self and living the Word, doing unto others and being kind and gracious.
For your panicky state, it's astral static. The Ogham give Mór or Sea well-dignified, which is an indication that you're not panicky on your own account about anything, it's more of the general weather around you. I recommend doing banishing rituals and tree communication rituals to respectively throw off and ground the energy.
Reading for March 2024
Date: 2025-03-01 10:54 pm (UTC)Please could I have a single card reading on the following question: what will be the outcome if I deepen my spinal breathing/kriya yoga practice over the rest of the year?
Could I also have a reading fit March?
Some feedback: your reading for Feb was spot on. The reading was 3 I'll-dignified cards, and it was certainly a tough time resulting in me having to take some time off work, but ultimately I think it was necessary.
Thanks,
P
Re: Reading for March 2024
Date: 2025-03-02 12:31 am (UTC)You drew three cards for March.
For the You card, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. It's easy to feel jerked around, hair-trigger moody, and angry. March is what it is and there is an excess amount of Aries energy floating around in the common astral space no matter what we do. This is a good month to contemplate what it means to be thin or thick skinned, and how much thick- or thin-skinnedness equals enough.
For the Situation, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. We cannot always know what we want to know and there are matters that are going to remain a mystery this month. You can always try asking someone about it, but don't expect an answer that tracks. You may feel frustrated that people are not learning or that they refuse to learn. The gods are much more patient about the speed at which any organism or entity learns -- call upon them for patience!
For the Outcome, you drew Oír or Epiphany well-dignified. You are brutally honest with yourself this March and though it could be painful, it will be a necessary move in the right direction. Whether or not you realize it, the Divine is guiding you.

Date: 2025-03-02 12:42 am (UTC)Thanks for the feedback! I am glad to hear it.
For the You card, you drew Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified. There are very few bridges that have to be burned, but you might consider it. In my own case, I have cut and cleared someone recently (one of only four people to whom I have ever directed a cut and clear spell) and it opened up several channels of golden opportunity in my life that are already changing my life for the better. In order to grow anything new, something old must give way and die, and though a cut and clear does not literally make anyone die, it severs the bond that is probably holding us back.
For the Situation, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. You need to allow yourself some rest. Ironically, that could mean something fitness-related that makes you huff and puff, or perhaps a restorative treatment such as a massage and/or a lovely meal. You owe it to yourself. Think of it this way: the body is a machine and like a car, it will deteriorate quickly if we constantly abuse it. Plus it is connected profoundly with the mind, so prioritize its maintenance this week to help both.
For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. The urge to withdraw from society and the bustle can be overwhelming, especially with Ioho ill-dignified in the reading. Remember there is a balance in the middle somewhere. No man or woman is an island. We need each other, but because humans are annoying, it can be tough to get along. Try to be grateful for the good and displace worry (which is a subconscious grab for power) and ratio it with gratitude.
no subject
Date: 2025-03-01 11:13 pm (UTC)For the last month or so I have been getting subtle, fleeting feelings that someone is going to make an entrance into my life. A new potential partner?? Do your Ogham agree? What do they think?
Hope all's well.
Ennobled little day
no subject
Date: 2025-03-02 12:45 am (UTC)Unfortunately my Ogham think it is a false sign. They give Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified, meaning you are craving intimacy and you're telling yourself what you want to hear.
My Ogham think you need to explore more of the internet to find someone with common interests. They give Nuin or Communication ill-dignified, meaning that the fantasy you have of a special person walking into your life is not going to materialize.

Date: 2025-03-02 12:50 am (UTC)Is it Worth It?
Date: 2025-03-02 12:05 am (UTC)I hope this message finds you well. Thank you again for answering my last question. I hate to bother you again so soon, but a new opportunity has arisen and would like to consult your feedback if possible. A friend of mine is hosting her ten-week class on Witchcraft basics, which she offers every couple of years. I just received the announcement for it the other day. I've previously considered taking part in order to get a basic foundation for the Craft of the Wise, and for possible networking with likeminded pagans and occultists in my geographical area. My major concern is logistical, in addition to requesting time off from work I currently don't drive, so I would need to find a way to carpool there assuming that was even an option. In short, would it be worth going through the logistical hassle to attend this ten-week course in order to receive a magical foundation and network with other magical folk, or would the cost out way any potential benefits? I look forward to your response. Thank you in advance. I'll be sure to pray that you receive blessings for your work. Take care.
Sincerely,
Sanctuary of the Rose and Chalice
Re: Is it Worth It?
Date: 2025-03-02 12:47 am (UTC)My Ogham like the Witchcraft basics thingie and they think you should go for it. They give Ruis or Regret well-dignified, meaning you won't regret the pains you go through to join this group, but you would regret it if you skipped it. It sounds like fun! Good luck.
Re: Is it Worth It?
Date: 2025-03-02 12:54 am (UTC)Thank you very much for the feedback, it looks like I have some serious planning to do. May you be blessed.

Date: 2025-03-02 02:33 am (UTC)You drew all well-dignified cards this week, and though that may seem like it's a rose garden, beware that adversity may still be hiding in the week. Well-dignified cards are more of an indication that lack of balance will be corrected than the imbalance not happening at all.
For the You card, you drew Nuin or Communication. Speaking your mind is usually good, but always be aware that good communication is curated communication. We can reach others more effectively when we don't say everything that comes to mind. This is a week of helpful strangers, recognition where recognition is due, and the recognition of goodness in far away places and times.
For the Situation, you drew Tinne or Defense. Tinne comes with my standard Danger Card warning, because it could indicate trouble or risk. This shows you and family members dealing with disagreement and bad behavior in a mature and cool-headed fashion. Sometimes this card shows up when a rescue must be performed, so be warned of that potential drama ahead of time.
For the Outcome, you drew Duir or Gifts. Duir, symbolized by the mighty Oak, is one of the best cards in the Ogham deck. Gifts are certainly not confined to the material. This card is one of paying forward material gifts and sharing all forms of gifts, whether material or incorporeal. When you share your blessings, you start to understand that sharing enhances whatever is shared by exponents as part of natural law. I believe that is what the story of Jesus and the loaves and fishes is trying to convey.
