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 October 23 - November 6.

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

Did I curse someone?
Date: 2025-08-02 05:41 am (UTC)In retrospect, some of the misery, anger, & hatred I felt in the past few years could have been backlash from a successful (or partially successful or unsuccessful) curse?
So did I cause a bad thing to happen to him, or did I merely harass him off the Internet? (My own divination suggested the latter, but I haven't been divining very long.)

Re: Did I curse someone?
Date: 2025-08-03 01:23 am (UTC)The Ogham have some interesting responses for you on this one.
For "Did I cause a bad thing to happen to him?" They say Yes, and they give Ruis or Regret ill-dignified. This is going to be something you will regret even if you do not regret it now, and how you handle your regret will be an important lesson. I have successfully cursed many people and though they absolutely had it coming, I am finally at the point where I can detach myself from people who wrong me instead of getting more deeply involved by cursing them. When somebody does something truly nasty to me (unfortunately there has been a recent person I will call Mrs. Vile who has been extremely rude and unfair) I say to the mental version of them in my head "I don't love you enough to hate you". Every person you hate gets a little love out of you as well, whether you like it or not, so if you are truly disgusted as I am with Mrs. Vile, you'll cut and clear that person and take all of your energy elsewhere. Mrs. Vile gets NOTHING from me now and forever. She does not even deserve my contempt.
For the "Did I harass him off the internet?" They say Yes, and they give Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. You've done him a favor in a perverse way. He needed to do other things and your magic forced his hand.
As for the karma of what you have done, they give Muin or Harvest. This is to affirm that your misery, anger, and hatred in the last few years has been the natural product of the kind of person you used to be. I am sure this is no surprise to you. Now that you have learned the hard way, every moment of every day is an opportunity to be more of the person you are going to become, and I highly doubt you'll be easily falling into the troll traps again.

Thanks.

Date: 2025-08-03 01:36 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. At its absolute worst, Duir is gifts that are taken for granted, which points out a need to slow down, replace worry with gratitude, and to understand that it is OK to enjoy your privileges. Duir does not truly have a bad dignity, and when it shows up ill-dignified, it is always a golden opportunity to be giving and open in order to have those gifts pour back upon you in abundance.
For the Situation, you drew Beith or Intention ill-dignified. I often draw this card when I am too busy for my own good and very tired. I have been drawing it a great deal lately because I am not a summer person. This can also be about feeling rudderless and directionless, which is how most people feel, especially if they do not have any form of regular banishing ritual or traditional mass in place. I suggest sitting down and making a list of the three things that have taken the most important roles in your life, and then writing your observations about those things so you can meditate upon them later.
For the Outcome, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. This tells me that Spirit is trying to show you what happens to people who are truly generous versus people who are parsimonious, and generosity often is inverse to amount of acquired wealth: there are studies that show poorer people tend to donate more to charity than their more comfortable peers. Generosity is not just a money thing, and it is very hard to grasp if you have not had a generous person in your life. Seek out examples of the truly generous, wherever they are, and study their natures.

Date: 2025-08-02 12:47 pm (UTC)To review: This week has been one of enforced rest. Every time I get on to do X, I have been resting in anticipation, only to be rebuffed by the limit of X's unavailability.
"The day's task is to rest" has been this week's operant phrase. Phagos came with gaining understanding of the reasons why X couldn't be done with every touch off from the day's limit, and when said limits reach their limits.
I furthermore had to switch from receiver to transmitter of said teachings, as others needed to understand their circumstantial limits.
To ask: What is it that I need to know this week, according to the Ogham?

You drew three cards this week.
For the You card, you drew Ruis or Regret ill-dignified. There are two imbalances we often fall into via Regret, and they are too much or too little. Too much and you are beating yourself up for mistakes you made ages ago, rubbing your nose in nearly petrified crap. Other people have moved on and lived and died in the space of your regret, so stop, say "That's why I don't do that anymore" and move on. If you have too little regret, it is time to check your ego and say "Maybe this is a ME problem" and of course do discursive meditation on it.
For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. Even in well-dignity, Ngetal is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so be hyper-aware this week of risk. Other than that, it talks about setting proper boundaries, knowing when you're too tired to keep on working, and getting proper rest after bouts of activity, whether physical or otherwise.
For the Outcome, you drew Mór or Sea well-dignified. The astral weather is good in your world, and though you did nothing to bring it on, you can take advantage of smooth sailing and clear skies. Looking at your long term plans, thinking of the distant future, and making large or important decisions are well suited to this week.

Date: 2025-08-02 02:25 pm (UTC)I'm finally getting serious with my occult studies. Divination is interesting because it is so much like the story of the blind men with the elephant. Though I suppose living life is much like that anyways.
I would like to ask the Ogham for a three card reading on a relationship with RJ and a single card draw on what the outcome would be if I passed on this relationship.
Thank you,
Misty

Date: 2025-08-03 01:57 am (UTC)Interesting! Well, as I say in Sacred Homemaking, we are all suffering an unusual amount of spiritual blindness, myself included. Our era of spiritual retardation was feared and dreaded by both the Mayans and Nostradamus. Spiritual work done in this era is much like training at high altitude. It certainly gives you an edge.
You drew four cards for this relationship with RJ.
For the You card, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified, meaning this relationship is the right thing at the right time. It also points to having a connection in a past life with RJ or someone very similar and seeking to balance out the karma.
For the Situation, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. You are not going to easily get used to RJ. The two of you may be very set in your respective ways. One or more of you may have etheric starvation and that can create co-dependency -- it is important to maintain personal space, decorum, and boundaries.
For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. You both have extremely different styles and compromises will need to be made in order to develop a deep and lasting bond. It remains to be seen whether RJ and you can do this. This is not to say it is not worth trying -- my Ogham like this relationship for you in general. They are just saying it will be hard to "bend" and adapt to each other and it will be rough sailing for this reason.
For the Outcome of passing on the relationship, they give Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. This relationship offers hugely important lessons for you right now and has been put in your path intentionally. Though it's not always going to be a rose garden, the Ogham think this relationship is well worth the hassle.

Date: 2025-08-03 02:04 am (UTC)The Ogham give you three cards this week.
For the You card, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. I often draw this card when I am waiting on something important or when my finances are thin, so it could be either of those. Alternately, it may be pointing out that there are some things that are not worth your patience, and the Ogham suggest looking at your life with a ruthless eye towards pruning.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. You are at a balanced point where trolls no longer get under your skin and you are able to deal with bad behavior (even your own bad behavior!) with maturity and grace. This is not to say that bad behavior will not happen, but it does point to it being managed extremely well on your part.
For the Outcome, you drew Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. Timing is everything and it is extremely easy to misfire where timing is concerned this week. Call or text before you go, set up reminders, and also be prepared to hold your tongue in front of others.

Date: 2025-08-02 05:28 pm (UTC)I have had a very low-grade stressful summer. Your Ogham has given me some good information to help me guide the waters of the subtle and substantial changes in my family life.
This week I am wondering what the Ogham have to say about my current state which is the most flat I have been in a long time.
What is the cause of this state?
How long will it last?
Mindset for moving beyond this state.
Thank you as always.

Date: 2025-08-03 02:27 am (UTC)My Ogham say that the cause of this state has something to do with your circle of people and the place where you live. They give Onn or Community ill-dignified, which means there are not many people (outside perhaps of those in your house) you can reply upon. We live in a very atomized civilization and you are not alone in feeling alone. Here in Aurora, Illinois, I like the people but I doubt all but a tiny handful would have my back if push truly came to shove. Much of why I chose not to have children was based on the hard facts that almost all popularity is based on income out here in the burbs.
As for how long this will last, the Ogham have no idea. They give Nuin or Communication ill-dignified, meaning that this feeling of detachment is something you must suffer through and make your peace with. Nuin is a card of perfectionism and inevitable disappointment. Letting go of ideals and making do with what you have (while being thankful for it) would go a long way in helping you feel more connected. Keep in mind that having "more" would put you in an insufferable class of people who ruin everything for the classes beneath them. All wealth must be earned by someone, and if you get it the "easy" way (without earning it) in this incarnation, it is merely an agreement to do the hard labor and/or abject suffering of earning it in a future life.
For their suggestions on moving beyond this state, they give Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. Know thyself -- there is only one way. Discursive meditation every day. You need to dive into your own shadow and figure out how what you hate is looking at you in the mirror. Also, don't share every personal detail and opinion. Dumping it on someone else will only make it worse, and that includes professional therapists. You really do have to face your deepest fears alone. Your personality should always be a curated, considerate mask. Nobody should ever see the true you because they would not understand, just as you will never understand them no matter how much they reveal. You can have long, wonderful relationships that are built upon walls of white lies; truth is overrated unless we are talking about the truth of the Self in the mirror. Your higher self and Holy Guardian Angel know your truth and those are the only ones who need to know. Face your demons, cast them out, learn to laugh at yourself and the human condition.

Thank you.

Date: 2025-08-03 02:30 am (UTC)My Ogham like this for you and your DH. They give Koad or Confluence well-dignified, which says this is the right thing at the right time. The factors align to make this a good choice.

Q- I have an upcoming first date Friday. Is this individual a good potential long term partner?
Thanks,

Date: 2025-08-03 02:33 am (UTC)My Ogham say Yes, this one may end up working out splendidly.
They give Straif or Resilience, which means this person has similar views when it comes to long term planning and lifestyle stuff, which is always huge in making a relationship work. In my own case, my husband and I started our 25 year marriage with exceedingly different approaches and ideal where lifestyle was concerned and it caused a great deal of turbulence for us. Obviously we worked things out over time. This could also be pointing out that this person is flexible and adaptable. Good luck.

Date: 2025-08-02 09:23 pm (UTC)Hi Kimberly,
What will the outcome be of the course I'm starting in the fall?
Thank you for your time.
no subject
Date: 2025-08-03 02:35 am (UTC)The Ogham give Perseverance ill-dignified, meaning it may be hard to stay in this course until the bitter end and/or the information may not give you the traction one would want from formal education. Go in with low expectations and be wary of upsells.

Date: 2025-08-03 02:44 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You card, you drew Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified. Don't overlook good information because it comes from a faulty source: a broken clock is right twice a day. You might feel blocked and stymied, or it is possible that you are not being treated fairly and there is not much you can do about it.
For the Situation, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. Tinne is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so please be extra aware of risk this week and play it very safe. Other than that, it talks about having healthy boundaries, not being easily ruffled, and being able to utilize your own stress reactions in a wise and mature way instead of being controlled by them.
For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. This is yet another danger card in my Ogham, and since it is on the heels of Tinne, you truly need to lay low this week. If there are exotic, faraway outings, maybe try to cancel them if possible, or at the very least, make sure you have plenty of supplies and alternate routes wherever you go. In an ill-dignity, this can be talking about not being your best self, about being pushed or prodded and lashing out or generally acting like a jerk. Since Tinne gives you healthy boundaries and "good fire", ignore jerks and use their bad behaviors as thrust blocks.

Thank you.
no subject
Date: 2025-08-03 02:51 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards for August.
For the You card, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. Even in good dignity, Coll, symbolized by the Hazelnut in the old Ogham and the grand Burr Oak in my prairie Ogham, means to shut the hell up when in doubt and even when not in doubt. If prodded, just say "I need time to think about it" and follow through by thinking about it before you act!
For the Situation, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. You have reason to be proud because something you had a large part in making has come or is coming into fruition. No matter how busy or distracted you are, take a moment to rest and pat yourself on the back for work well done. You did good.
For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. The benefit of having been around the block a few times is you can see bad consequences from bad behavior when it is far off on the horizon, including bad tendencies within yourself. Keep up the momentum of "good" regret by examining your past with an eye towards balance, scrutinizing and holding yourself accountable without beating yourself up.

Date: 2025-08-03 12:48 am (UTC)This week I have more boring activity questions (sorry about that!):
1. Is the activity I'm thinking of dangerous for Person A?
2. Is the activity I'm thinking of dangerous for Person B?
3. What do the Ogham think of this other activity we tried...is it worth trying to keep going this school year?
4. The group trip we're considering joining, do the Ogham think it would be worth it?
Thanks!

Date: 2025-08-03 02:56 am (UTC)No worries! Ask about whatever you want, the only thing I cannot answer is medical questions or stuff that might incriminate or endanger someone.
For 1, they say No and they give Onn or Community ill-dignified, meaning there may be some emotional stress that is par for the course but other than that it should be fine, and the community camaraderie is well worth the trouble.
For 2, they say No, and they give Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. This one seems tailored for personalities like your Person B to some degree.
For 3, they give Gort or Perseverance well-dignified, which is to say Yes, this one is worth sticking it out.
For 4, the Ogham like it. They give Eadha or Limits, which means the trip's planners know what they are doing. I would guess this is a place they are familiar with and they know the dynamics of this sort of travel quite well.
