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, June 21, 2025 - Friday, July 11, 2025.

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

For a more in depth look into how I read and interpret the Ogham's symbols, please visit my website druidogham.wordpress.com.

I am currently trying to minimize my use of PayPal.  If you'd like to make a donation, I would be grateful if you did it here:

Good evening Kimberly,

I hope you had a good equinox. I would like to ask the Ogham if I'm understanding the offer from BB correctly and a three card draw on what would occur if I pursued that opportunity?

Thank you,
Misty

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Misty,

Thanks, it was a nice break.

For the BB understanding, they say No, you're not entirely in the loop. They give Muin or Harvest ill-dignified, which is to say it won't yield the results you were expecting and it might not yield the results you want. Or it could take much longer than you want and require more of you. Unfortunately there are a great many things out there that are billed as "opportunities" which are actually not opportunities at all.

As for pursuing the opportunity, they give three cards.

For the You card, they give Nuin or Communication well-dignified. You are honest with good intentions and that redeems most of your dealings regardless of what anyone else is up to. Your no b.s. approach may not be for everyone but it certainly avoids you a great deal of trouble. Don't be shy about asking necessary questions and getting to the bottom of what is going on.

For the Situation, they give Saille or Flexibility ill-dignified. There is no fixing what is wrong here and no way any kind of adaptation can make this pan out. The design is flawed. There is also a hint that the "opportunity" is not as flexible as it makes itself out to be or that it takes advantage of someone's graciousness.

For the Outcome, the Ogham give Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. There is an intention that is septic. The opportunity is a masquerade. It sounds like a Trojan Horse. My Ogham suggest you pass -- three out of four cards being negative or ill-dignified is not a good prognosis.

What do the Ogham think of the Elon Musk problem?

Re: Princess Cutekitten

[kimberlysteele]

I did not know of an Elon Musk problem, so with that disclaimer, here is what my Ogham have to say:

For the You card, which I guess is Elon Musk himself, Elon (or his problem?) gets Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. The problem is too big for any one person to resolve, no matter how highly that person thinks of himself. Another problem is false transcendence, which is the whole "fake it until you make it" act. Most times, it's just an act and there is a seething mess underneath.

For the Situation, the Ogham give Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified. There is a great deal of bad advice to be had and many traitors and self-seekers. He has stepped into a minefield. He is the perfect target for septic people looking for someone to hate, and that means he is vulnerable to malefic astral attacks all the time. There isn't a snowball's chance in hell he will read this, but if he does, I would advise taking up a daily banishing ritual such as the Sphere of Protection.

For the Outcome, the Ogham give Beith or Intention ill-dignified. He suffers from wanting to do too much and not understanding how his intentions are in conflict. Going in several directions at once, especially without a banishing ritual to clean any of it up, easily leads to fragmentation and exhaustion. He needs to walk away from anything he is lukewarm about so he can focus on what he wants to do. Nobody can do it all. We all can take the Ogham's advice on this one: ruthlessly eliminate that which you do not absolutely love because what you absolutely love will have nothing less than your undivided attention.

Good morning Kimberly, I can actually feel spring coming in this past week.

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

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Ighy,

Same... Spring has sprung!

You drew three cards for this week.

For the You card, you drew Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. Huath is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so be aware of danger this week because it is waiting for you to slip up. I always suggest wearing a simple amulet -- a tiny cloth bag (preferably red) of salt with a small bent nail in it. Huath is diligence and bravery when you need it, and hopefully you won't need it. It also refers to the kind of disciplined, Martial force that makes a vibrant, forthright, courageous human being.

For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. This is a good week to keep generosity in balance -- spending a modest amount for treats and frills but also keeping your thinking cap on when it comes to spending. Generosity, of course, is far more than money and spending. What does it mean to be generous in your daily life? In which interactions are you given a choice to be generous or not, and how have you reacted in the past?

For the Outcome, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. It's easy to get impatient, frustrated, or want to give up this week. Stick it out, honor your commitments, and put your nose to the grindstone. As I often say, nobody knows frustration and demoralization like a pianist. How can you break it down, look at it from a new angle, and get enough distance to put the problem in perspective? As much as it stinks, this dilemma has landed in your lap in order to teach you important lessons.

Greetings Kimberly,
Please ask Ogham if I would be pleased now and long term with the changes to EJ that I have been thinking about
Thank you for this gifted service

Audrey

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Audrey,

My Ogham seem to think you'll be more pleased now and less pleased long term.

For "Now" they give Eadha or Limits, which means you are satisfied with what has been put in place as it seems appropriate and enough for EJ's parameters. At this point, the changes that have been made go with the grain and are not unrealistic. It's do-able.

For "Later" they give Beith or Intention ill-dignified, meaning there could be backsliding, reneging, and a departure from the problem-solving nature of the current changes. Or the changes could lead to unexpected problems of their own.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you Kimberly.

If I may ask a follow up question
would I be pleased now and long term if I made no changes. (I’m anticipating ‘long term’ to be disharmonious)

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

My Ogham say No on both -- you are not going to be pleased now or later if you make zero changes.

For keeping it placid right now, they give Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified, meaning you will have fear of disappointing yourself and others that makes you question your decision.

As for long term, you drew Nuin or Communication ill-dignified, meaning that the amount of unknowns is even worse than instituting the changes. My Ogham think you should continue with the current changes and be ready to rumble if and when things go south.

From now until the Summer Solstice

[mysteries_abound]

Hi there Kimberly--

Happy spring! Glad you enjoyed your well deserved break.
On the equinox I inaugurated what I'll call my "Build MJ Back Better" project as the beginning of a new astrological year is often a good New Year's resolution time for me. Implementing more awareness and general mindfulness about pursuing things that are good for me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Excited to see how these changes unfold over the next months and years.

Interested to hear what the Ogham suggest will help me make the most out of my new project from now until the Summer Solstice.

Thanks so much for offering this service. Always tremendously helpful; frequently get a lot of sage advice when I read the responses to other people's questions.

MJ from MA

Re: From now until the Summer Solstice

[kimberlysteele]

Hi MJ,

Thank you and thanks for the encouragement! It helps keep me motivated.

For the Build MJ Back Better project in general, the Ogham provide three cards.

For the You card, they give Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. You've tried self-improvement before, but you are about to see traction like you have not seen before. Much of this improvement will come from the deep realization that true resilience comes from within. There is much heavy lifting in seeing the good when there is a nearly overwhelming amount of bad. You must believe in the good and fuel it with your energy in order to sequester and diminish the bad. Seeing the good is much, much harder than it sounds.

For the Situation, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. You are entering mental plane skill development territory. The next year will be one of the most profound of your life -- my Ogham predict you will take what you learn in the next year into future lives and it will be an era you look back at as life-altering. The difficulty will be in cutting back what you don't have time to learn. Keep in mind that anything you are passionate about but does not align with the current lifetime's limits, you can revisit in future lifetimes. So when you give up on a hobby, an aspiration, or even a person or a place you don't have time for, it's not necessarily forever. You have time, it's just not that easy to perceive that you have time. There is no hurry. I am hoping I can get back to macrame, baking, and certain forms of intense gardening in a future life. I like all of them but I don't have time to become a master and I know it.

For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. You must learn to conquer your fear. Fear is the mind-killer (best line in that book) In my case, I have had the fear of not being liked and the fear of poverty -- these fears are far from uncommon. Meditating about your deepest and darkest fears is the key to getting to the bottom of why you are angry. Anger is a defense mechanism. Fear is usually under it, though in my case much of it comes as the instinctive reaction from being so cold-blooded in my previous lives. The fear is so deeply rooted in my case, it took a great deal of digging to figure it out.


As for your new project from now until the Solstice, they give Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. You have to prioritize your health. Flexibility and mobility exercises will go a long way to help you become more mentally agile even though the planes are discreet and not continuous. Prioritize movement on the physical plane so it may flow upward to the mental plane. Treat your body like a temple -- practice moderation and if the food isn't of good, high quality, either doctor it up or skip it entirely.

Hello!

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly,

Thank you very much for doing these.

My question is what does the Ogham think I need to know right now

About the dream from last night - usual dream about being back at uni and finding out last minute that you forgot to enrol or attend some courses so now you cannot graduate- should I ask more about it?

To review:

Just came back from a short holiday that I asked you about and feel better about finally getting over my fear of getting back on a plane ...made a last minute decision to visit a specific place and it was happy and sad at the same time... I actually thought about sending you a picture of this place - which is idiotic of me because I'm just a random person and well - just why!? anyway...thank you for everything

J

Re: Hello!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi J,

You're very welcome.

My Ogham give you three cards.

For the You position, they provide Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. Right now, you are being tasked with the life-lesson of generosity. You are called to do a great deal of observation of your own life and the lives of others. Who is the most generous person you know? What is that person's wealth status? Who is the stingiest? Where are they on the totem pole? Generosity sublimates to the power of seven, and when it is the real thing and not for show, it improves everything it touches and transforms the person who gives.

For the Situation, you drew Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. It is hard to find a bad side to Duir even in ill-dignity. The worst possible outcome of Duir is that it points out privilege that may or may not be there (very common to accuse others of privilege these days when the pot is calling the kettle black). When I draw this card, I almost always see it as an opportunity to maximize my luck by being overly generous. When I give more than I can or should or give someone the extra benefit of the doubt (without being a pushover, always exercise moderation and judgement) it has consistently reverberated back as good fortune.

For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. True resilience, as you are finding out, comes from within and has nothing to do with how many influential people you know or how well your bug out bunker is stocked. Being unbreakable comes from having principles and morals and knowing how to say "I'm not proud of that, and that is why I don't do that anymore."

Hmmm, as for the dream, they give Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. What this means is that the Ogham think you should meditate on your college experience and why it feels unfinished. At any rate, I still have that dream and I'm 51. It used to be a high school dream; nowadays, it's being back at University. Sometimes I have gotten as far as saying I should go because nobody is going to pay for my degree. I have also just up and quit University in the dream, and obviously I did not do that in real life because I have a music degree.

LOL, go ahead and send it. My address is k steele studio at g mail. Com/ I don't have the kind of psychic that wins horse races but I can often tell some odd things from a photograph.

[anon_ogham]

Hi Kimberly,

I'm interested in a three card reading for the next week as well as a one card reading for whether I should learn the Ogham myself.

Thanks

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

The Ogham give you three cards for next week.

For the You card, you drew Koad or Confluence well-dignified. There is a mix of factors both put in place by you and that happen naturally that end up putting you in a good way next week. Expect luck, opportunity, and/or a sign -- be ready for them. Unfortunately the Ogham are not revealing anything more specific.

For the Situation, you drew Beith or Intention ill-dignified. Going in too many directions at once could be a problem. You will have no choice but to leave something out, and that is hardly ever easy or fun. Also, keep an eye out for false starts, going in the wrong direction, or feeling low, as if your get up and go got up and went.

For the Outcome, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. Ah, etheric starvation, the most common condition of our time. You're soaking in it next week. Symptoms include feeling draggy and tired, wanting to do addictive stuff such as binge eating or staying up way too late, and physical maladies like digestive issues and cravings. Employ as many remedies as you can: getting plenty of sunlight, breathing deeply, eating homemade food, and prioritizing sleep. This is not the time for frugality or austerity to trump self-care.

As for learning Ogham, they say not yet. They give Ruis or Regret ill-dignified, which means that you have important work to do before your slate is clean enough to make a fresh start with Ogham. Mercury is in retrograde until April 7 and that may be one of the reasons. I know it's throwing a wrench in my schedule.

[heloise8]

Greetings Kimberly!

What's up for me this week?

Greetings and blessings, Heloise

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Heloise,

You drew three cards this week. For the You card, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. Your talent for diplomacy and finding the salvageable and good within any given situation shines this week. You are a better connector than most and this will always keep you safe. It's a real life skill -- well, actually it's a multi-life skill.

For the Situation, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. True consideration is about what you leave out of every conversation and how you curate your personality to match the situation and those you're with. You refine that to an art this week, deftly moving through the often murky waters of perception.

For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community ill-dignified. Your community may be asking too much of you or trying to take advantage of you -- be moderate and discriminatory about your involvement. Be extremely ready to give a hard No when pushed. On the flip side, it is possible you are expecting too much of your community, so also be ready to chill and back off if the flow is not going as you would want it to go.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly, what should I keep in mind for the week ahead? Many thanks!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon, you drew three cards this week.

For the You card, you drew Mór or Sea ill-dignified. Through no fault of your own, the collective astral around you is a big old pile of dung. Expect people to be pissy, unwell, and septic. In my own case, my rock solid daily habit of the Sphere of Protection banishing ritual and copious discursive meditation is sometimes not enough to keep some of the astral sewer pit's contents from seeping through. If I cannot keep it out, I don't believe anyone else can either. Watch for those random angry and selfish thoughts to burst forth and keep a lid on them -- it's not likely they're coming from your own mind or heart.

For the Situation, you drew Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. A failure to communicate may be in the cards, so perhaps seeing it can help you get ahead of it. You don't owe anyone an explanation, especially not if they are going to use it as an excuse to be butthurt and immature. Other than that, Nuin in this dignity can be talking about problematic travel and glitchy machines.

For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. Tinne is one of my Ogham's physical danger cards, so be risk adverse, even though it is in good dignity. You may be called upon to do something that is physically taxing or to have to use fighting Martial energy. Be ready. If this is more of an average week without drama, it could mean that your diligent energy is being challenged or that you may be tempted to approach a situation with excessive force. In either case, try to think before you act and buy time and remain silent or of few words whenever you can. The Ogham predict you will handle it in a wise and balanced manner.

[lp9]

Hi Kimberly,

A (maybe) couple questions this week:
- Will L be accepted for T?
- If so, which is the best option in the long term - going to T or going straight to R?

Thank you!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi LP,

My Ogham say Yes, L will be accepted for T. They give Oir or Epiphany well-dignified, meaning L is a shoo in, there's almost no question of the acceptance.

For the best option, they are liking R. They give Luis or Protection ill-dignified for T, which means it could be too much of a drain and/or that it is not in alignment with L's higher self. For going straight to R, they like it. They give Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified, which means R provides a wholesome, blessed, enriching experience that will benefit L for a long time.

[ktdev]

Hi Kimberly,

Two questions: a one-off of "Should I try to do this?" and then my usual "What's up for me and my family in the next week?"

Thanks!
-PW

[kimberlysteele]

Hmmm,

For "Should I try to do this?" my Ogham are not too keen. They give Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified, meaning that you don't know enough for this to work out or it is not to your advantage.

You and the family drew three cards this week, all well-dignified. I wish I could promise that it would be a rosy week but that has not been my experience with all well-dig readings. What the Ogham do predict is that you will have the personal strength to overcome challenges this week, no matter how severe.

For the You card, you drew Ur or Intimacy. True consideration is about subtlety and secrets. The preservation and strengthening of relationships, including relationships with the spirits of place, is about what you know and never tell. Trust is more about what is not said, whether inside or outside in the world. This is a good week to meditate about secrets and why telling all/ letting it all hang out is a shoddy alternative to being discreet and selectively quiet.

For the Situation, you drew Huath or Obstacles. This is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so I utter my usual warning about being hyper-vigilant and aware. Other than that, it talks about rising to the occasion, using proper Martial force, and bringing the right amount of mojo to your weekly duties and tasks.

For the Outcome, you drew Ailm or Transcendence. Unfortunately, when this card is present, it often means there is something (or someone) to transcend, meaning someone acting like a jerk or a bad situation. The Ogham see you and/or a family member coming out on top and being the bigger person/people. The beast of ego is tamed but not so trampled that he loses his spine.
