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.

Greetings Kimberly! What's up this week?

With thanks and blessings, Heloise

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Heloise,

Generally, this is a week to be cautious and lay low.

For the You card, you drew Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. Circumstances conspire to put you at your personal worse, so the Ogham say you should try to gently steer away from certain situations and be ready to delay or say nothing at all. Some things cannot be helped, and if things skew negative, remember that you can choose how you react to what is set in place.

For the Situation, you drew Mór or Sea ill-dignified. Through zero fault of your own, the astral weather is bad in the people and places surrounding you. Bad dreams, bad moods, and lousy luck are to be expected: prepare more than you would normally prepare and again lay low. The collective astral has been especially murky these last few weeks, and it feels like heavy lifting to keep things on the up and up in my own case.

For the Outcome, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. Your honesty, forthrightness, and good sense of humor will carry you through the aforementioned sea of garbage. This is also about recognizing the "gift" part of technology instead of either taking it for granted or considering it a curse. We all want to be recognized for our goodness and technology is no different.

Hi Kimberly, how are things looking for this week? Many thanks!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You card, you drew Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. Duir doesn't really possess a bad side, even when ill-dignified. Since it is the flow of gifts and generosity, at its worst it may be chiding you to pay it forward a bit more or to be more grateful if you're feeling down in the dumps. Other than that, it talks about giving more than you can afford, being gracious and generous to a fault, or having that generosity done to you. In any case, you can always sublimate the energy by recognizing its goodness and blessings.

For the Situation, you drew Eadha or Limits well-dignified. This card points to temptation being present, pushy people, or uncomfortable situations. If you keep a tight lid on what you say and do, always keeping balance and moderation in mind, you'll get the best and sanest of outcomes. This is also a card of fairness when it comes to casting judgement on others: you're not so kind that they walk all over you but you also are not being cruel or unnecessarily nasty.

For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. Something you have been waiting for is not quite ready. There may be something that needs to be gotten rid of so you can make room for the new. Also, be wary of bad habits that beg to be indulged. Moderation in most things except addictions (if you even have any).

Thank you. Drip two.

Hi Kimberly,

Thank you so much for your help last week.

Trip A has been postponed. Trip B in the planning stages.

What does your Ogham say about Trip B?

Does A have A or B?

Thank you to you. Prayers and blessings!

Hi Rooby,

Trip B looks pretty good. My Ogham give you three cards.

For the You position, they give Oír or Epiphany well-dignified. You've had the realizations that needed to happen for this trip to go off well. This shows clear vision and a realistic set of expectations so you can be prepared.

For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. This trip will be full of laughter, humor, and delight. The problems from Trip A are much diminished. The decisions are the best of what could be made of your resources.

For the Outcome, they give Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. They warn you not to let down your guard. This is still a dangerous trip -- all travel is inherently dangerous. Stay on your guard and keep a balance between paranoia and hedonism.

They say A has A. They give Fearn or Bridge well-dignified to indicate A.

Another choice of magical paths

[borealbear]

Hey, hope you're having a good weekend so far, and thank you for doing this. Last year I asked for a reading about magical paths, which proved uncannily accurate and gave solid advice. I went with the choice indicated and haven't regretted it, but by now I'm almost at the point where I've honored my first commitment and can choose to either go on or try something else. As is often the case, both directions have their appeal, and so I'd like to consult your Ogham again. So: what does your Ogham think about my prospects if I choose option A, B or C respectively to further my magical training?

On another note, congrats on your book deal! Will definitely pick up a copy.

Re: Another choice of magical paths

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Boreal Bear,

I'm delighted to hear it! Thank you for sharing that with me. I'm excited for you to read my book. Fingers crossed for May 2026.

For Option A, they give Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. A is a bit too complicated and it might be right for someone, it just isn't quite you. Because it would be hard to stay on track, they say look elsewhere.

For Option B, they give Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. B isn't the best use of what god-given talents you have right now. There's nothing wrong with it, it's much like the last one where it doesn't fit like a glove.

For Option C, they like it. They give Tinne or Defense well-dignified, meaning your Holy Guardian Angel is on board with it and it offers magical protection that you need.

Good evening Kimberly,

To review: This week I had the experience of watching someone sputter out a disproportionate reaction to save face. I simply stood there after stating the facts of the incident and then remained silent as they proceeded to cook themselves. The incident itself was a watered down repeat of a similar incident I experienced several years ago, the damage this time was something that could be buffed out.

The call to conserve resources came to me as a need to budget out expenses, which played out in the latter part of the week as old long term periodic expenses emerged.

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

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Ighy,

Thanks for the report!

You drew three cards this week, all ill-dignified. I will utter my usual comment about all ill-dignified readings NOT being portents of doom. If anything, I am more wary of all well-dig readings as they are easier to catch us off guard.

For the You position, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. Of all the cards to draw ill-dig, Uilleand and Duir (Gifts) are the most pleasant ones. Both can indicate a glut of gifts laid upon you, and if you choose to be grateful for them or pay them forward, it's nothing but more good fortune coming your way. At its worst, Uilleand points to overspending on someone such as children in order to placate them.

For the Situation, you drew Oir or Epiphany. There is a realization you need to have that you are putting off -- time to dig through the subconscious and be a detective when it comes to figuring yourself out. Of course I suggest discursive meditation.

For the Outcome, you drew Beith or Intention. It's not true that good intentions pave the road to hell. Instead, it is unanalyzed, diffuse, amorphous intentions that open trouble's door. Get your head on straight, be ruthlessly honest with yourself, and ask "Is there fear behind this? What am I most afraid of? What does this symbolize for me?"

Good evening Kimberly,

This year has been a wild mixed bag of heartache and personal accomplishments. I guess my microcosm mirrors the macrocosm; as above, so below. To be fair a good swift kick is often the best cure for inertia and I have changed significantly from where I was at the beginning of the year.

I want to ask the Ogham's opinion about a series of choices that I'm considering: A, B, C, and D?

Thank you,

Misty

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Misty,

Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear you are making the best of it.

For A, my Ogham give Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. Though it's not entirely bad, A may require privilege or money you do not have. It also may not be the best use of your unique gifts.

For B, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. This is a strong one that is in tune with your own personal signature.

For C, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. This one represents connectivity with both hidden parts of yourself and with others through spacetime.

For D, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. This one creates more drama than its worth, it could be dangerous, and/or it introduces bad influences. Steer clear.

Hi Kimberly,

Two questions: First, what's up for me and my family this week?

Second, a quick one-card question: Last week, Situation was "Huath or Force ill-dignified." You said, "it can talk about saying or doing more than necessary -- zip it/postpone until you need to speak." And we ended up feeling we had said more than we should in one case. Is this going to cause a problem going forward?

Thanks!
-PW

[kimberlysteele]

Hi PW,

It's an all ill-dignified reading this week, but once again, I'll utter my usual caveat that all ill-dignified readings are not Doomsday. They are intended to give you ample time to correct course as prevention is the best cure.

For the You or most immediate card, you drew Huath or Force. This is a danger card in my Ogham, but keep in mind worry creates the wrong kind of energy. Gratitude, not worry. Gratitude gains the attention and protection of the Divine. Worry gets the attention of low life feeder spirits who attract more of the same. Huath can also indicate a lack of mojo and a need to take a breather.

For the Situation, you drew Straif or Resilience. Resilience cannot be bought -- it comes from within and is a maturing of the soul. If you have the urge to buy things or frantically acquire skills in the name of resilience, sit down in discursive meditation and analyze what fears you are trying to medicate via those actions.

For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest. Bad habits want to pop up, envelopes are being pushed, and negative previous investments want to be indulged. The collective astral is truly at what I hope is peak sepsis lately and that may be part of it. Reward yourself and your family for good habits, stay grateful, and keep up your daily rituals. They may seem tiny but every little bit counts.

For the one card question, they give Ioho or Grace ill-dignified to say No, this is not a problem going forward. Don't show emotion other than cold courtesy and it should go away neatly.

Thanks! When we got that reading, we were about to go with our homeschool group to a place that's decadent and focused on parting visitors from their money. We had been hesitant to go, but wanted to participate with the group. I think that the reading was a timely reminder of the things we had been concerned about. Which did tend to be true. But I think we ended up handling them reasonably. I hope that the Harvest ill-dignified doesn't mean the overall outcome will be bad. But so far it's too soon to tell. (Daughter did pick up a cold there, though.)
