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.

Hello Kimberly,

I met a woman recently. She's kinda "above my league." She had a somewhat conspicuous line of lipstick arched across the middle of her two front teeth as we spoke, which makes me think that maybe she doesn't normally wear lipstick. (???) Kinda reminds me of the wife/mother from The Shining, but with less bulgy eyes and maybe a bit of Botox in her lips. She's dead-set against premarital sex and spoke favorably of her family's Eastern European (Balkan) traditional values...

It seems like I will be meeting her again at a seafood place. (She loves seafood, she tells me.) What do your Ogham think of her?

Thanks,

Ennobled little day

Hi Ennobled,

My Ogham have mixed feelings about her.

They give three cards. For the You position, I took the card to actually be referring to her. They give Straif or Resilience ill-dignified and that tells me she puts security first and passion a distant second. It's totally understandable these days, but it is a rather cold approach to relationships. If I had been the same way, I never would have married my husband 25 years ago because he was a poor man literally living in his aunt's garage. Nevertheless, if you prioritize stability and can quietly demonstrate you are financially responsible, she will like that very much.

For the Situation, you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. This has potential to turn into a long term commitment for you as you both have encountered each other at the right place and the right time.

For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. She has very complex emotions around intimacy and physicality that have potential to wreak havoc upon her relationships if she does not address them in discursive meditation or some other way. Obviously this is not something to say to her, it just seems to be what the Ogham are warning about. The trouble with saving yourself for marriage is that you have no idea what it's going to be like in the sack with someone. This can end up being a real disaster.

Thank you, Kimberly.

I will go out with her (if she gets back to me) and just be honest with her:

I will have as much fun as I can, but also communicate with her, as artfully as I can, my values, expectations, etc. I will listen to her side and have (if possible) constructive conversations and arguments with her about her values, etc.

I want her to have ample opportunity to know me and reject me, if she doesn't like what's in front of her. I will also carefully gage how open (and honest?) she's willing to be, and decide if I like her enough to see her a second time.

(I feel like I didn't do any of the above with my ex-wife. I was surprised that she gave me the time of day, and focused more on securing her than being aligned with who I was. I suspect she was doing something similar.)

Does it sound like I have a good plan?

Fair enough, just don't spell it out like that. Don't say things like "I'm giving you a chance to see if you like me for who I am and gauging if I like you back" and that sort of thing. It's lame and always misses the mark. The number one way you can find out whether or not you two are compatible: sense of humor. I am sure I have shared how many times the whole sense of humor thing has saved my marriage, whether it was mine or his, right? If I were you, I would memorize a bunch of jokes, corny, ribald, and otherwise, and see if she thinks they're funny despite the cultural divide. Back when I was in college, I used to tell my Ukrainian piano friend Anatoliy all of the best and worst jokes I could find despite his English being not so great... he loved them.

Lol... Of course!! I suck at comedic timing, though, but I will focus on keeping the mood light.

Thank you!!!
