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 October 23 - November 6.

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

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:

Your prayers of blessing to the deity/deities of your choice are welcome whether or not you can donate.

a) While considering something, I heard a voice say something. Am I right it was from outside of me?

b) Did I interpret what it meant correctly?

c) I asked a while ago about whether I needed to commit to secrecy about X. You said yes, and that I could ask again later if something changed. Continuing to commit to secrecy about X will soon mean crossing a point of no return. Do your ogham agree with my intuition I still need to maintain this secrecy?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

a) My Ogham think you are correct about the voice being from outside of you. They give Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified, which is to say you are starting to get more accurate readings where the identities behind voices are concerned.

b) For your interpretation being correct, they say Yes. They give Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified, which likely means your current efforts of discernment are getting a divine assist.

c) They say No, they do not agree with your intuition to maintain secrecy. They give Straif or Resilience ill-dignified, which means that it may be time to let the cat out of the bag. Reveal as little information as you possibly can. You don't owe anyone the entire spiel.

I'm getting ready for a move. How do your ogham see it going?

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham like it. They give Koad or Confluence well-dignified. This shows all factors lining up as well as possible and the proverbial wind being at your back.

Hi Kimberly,

I'm interested in a three card reading for the next week.

Thanks.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

The Ogham give you three cards.

For the You position, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. Even in good dignity, Tinne is one of my Ogham's danger cards. Be wary and risk adverse this week, you may have to employ strong mojo to get something done. Other than that, it is a good sign meaning you are developing defenses where they count, and you are serenely undistracted by stupid stuff that may be irritating but is not a real threat.

For the Situation, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. This points to broken routines, frustration where progress is concerned, and often a financial rough spot or bad expense. Don't let it break your stride. It is temporary. Meatworld is full of aggravating tests of this nature.

For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. You have one or more "that's why I don't do that anymore" moments and you are much wiser for them. When people project their crap upon you, you have an unusual and rare reservoir of patience for their trivia.

Hi Kimberly,

Thanks as always for this service.

I am being urged to do a certain thing that I'm not sure is a good idea. I can't really give more details.

What does your Ogham think of this action?

Thanks,

JR

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham give Duir or Gifts ill-dignified in reference to "this action".

One meaning of this is that privilege has gone very wrong here. The spoiled are in a state of cluelessness and ingratitude that ruins everything it touches. There is no making it better because they use their advantages to stomp all over everything and they don't know they are doing it.

It also could represent gifts being stymied and not using gifts to their full potential. In order for one gift to be used and fulfilled, another may have to be mercilessly sacrificed.

Greeting Kimberly!

Thanks for the reading on Canada last week. Your results were very interesting.

What's up for me this week?

With thanks and blessings, Heloise

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Heloise,

Thanks for the feedback!

You drew three cards this week.

For the You card, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. This does not guarantee an easy week, unfortunately, but it does point to your life being in a state of balance that drama cannot easily upset. You have a great deal to fall back upon that is almost entirely your own doing. Take a moment to appreciate your stability and pat yourself on the back.

For the Situation, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. Be kind when constructive criticism comes your way and choose your battles if people are downright mean. I have noticed I am much happier when I ignore my trolls and sit back while they spin their wheels trying to bait me. Let go of that which needs to be released, even if it is sad and you have deep attachments to it. Nothing is forever except for souls and God.

For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. You have a wonderful network and you reciprocate that love for people. It is good to be common. In my own case, I would never trade it for being a richie rich who has no idea how normal people actually live.

Good morning Kimberly,

The accuracy of last weeks reading was astonishing. It wasn't a dumpster fire week, but more like living near a dumpster with stinky trash.

For this week I am wondering:

a) What are the next best steps for A's situation?

b) Is there a chance that an ld will happen during the rest of this year?

c) My week? A little scared to ask, but always good to know.

Thank you so much for these readings.

Best,
Rooby

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Rooby,

Thanks for the feedback!

a) The Ogham give Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. It is very easy to become over-involved via micromanagement or to appear insensitive via the wrong advice. A needs to be given proper space, always knowing that you are there on the outskirts.

b) They say Yes and they give Ngetal or Hygiene, which also means Health.

c) You drew two cards for this week. For the You card, you drew Koad or Confluence well-dignified. You are in the right place at the right time. If it is put in your way, it is there for a reason, so take it or do something about it. Go with your gut.

For the Outcome, you drew Gort or Perseverance well-dignified. You cast your lot with the right one or ones. You have stayed the course. The Powers like diligence and steadfastness. You may think nobody is watching but they have always watched. You have never been alone.

Good afternoon Kimberly,

My occult studies are continuing at what feels like a glacial pace. Funny that after nearly two decades of reading JMG's essays and years of carting around GSF books that the progress I've made in the last five weeks seems slow. My focus for dicursive meditation, since I started two weeks ago, is beauty. I have thought more deeply and have a far better understanding of the interrelation of beauty to physical, energetic, emotional, and mental states than I think I ever could have without this practice. All of that is to say that your reading from July on which divination method would be best for me has been paying dividends.

This week I would like to ask the Ogham about a possible trip to Texas this September: me, situation, outcome, and outcome of not going.

Thank you,

Misty

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Misty,

Thanks for the feedback! I am actually in the beginning writing stages of a book to follow up Sacred Homemaking. I am calling it Sacred Beauty, and it is about cultivating the beauty within.

For your possible Texas trip:

For the You card, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. Right out of the gate, my Ogham do not like this trip and they think it could be dangerous. At best, it will be full of bad energy, bickering, and unpleasantness. At worst, it could put you in physical peril.

For the Situation, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. The risk of this trip would not be without rewards, but much of the rewards would go to others. Whoever wants you on this trip will be very happy, but you? Not so much.

For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. This trip is right for someone, just not for you. It would make you feel alienated and aggravated.

For not going, they give Mór or Sea well-dignified. You would do well not to go. Everything points to not going being a good, solid choice that works out splendidly for everyone.

[mistyfriday]

This trip has been on the horizon for quite awhile, but as time to make it has drawn nearer, I've started to feel the reasons for making the trip aren't as important as I once thought they were and there may be better options that don't involve travel.

Thank you.

Hello Kimberly!

A three-few reading for the following question, please. "Have I, by my recent behavior, irreparably damaged my relationship with my friend CO?

...and then a one-off few for the following follow-up question(s), "(If the answer is no) Should I leave her alone until she makes the first move to reestablish the relationship? (If the answer is yes) Should I leave off even casual, polite contact?

Thank you very much!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Mole_End,

Ouch, sometimes the Ogham are dreadfully honest. They say Yes, you have irreparably damaged the relationship. They give Eadha or Limits well-dignified, which is to say everyone has their dealbreakers and this deal is done. The limit has been reached and possibly breached. Ay yi yi, my condolences.

For Should I leave off even casual, polite contact? They say Yes and they give Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. This is a good sign -- it means that it is possible that CO may forgive you at some point, but I would not bet on it.

Hi Kimberly, I am considering three possible ventures to pursue in the latter part of this year. Let's call them A, B and C. What do the Ogham think of these opportunities? Thanks.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

My Ogham like only one of them.

For A, they give Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified. The factors do not line up, the environment may be hostile, and though A might be a good idea, it faces lousy reception.

For B, they give Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. The audience is too niche or not niche enough, the venture causes too much difficulty at home, or it is too personal.

For C, they give Beith or Beginnings well-dignified. This one has unity of purpose and strong directionality. The energy attracts help from various corners and moves along via its own momentum.

Update & New Reading

[(Anonymous)]

Hello, Kimberly. Patrick here. Last week I asked if there would be complications with my mother's surgery and you divined that there would be but she would eventually recover.

She has been hospitalized for nearly a week and is recovering from another operation to fix the mess the first surgery caused. From what my father said and I infer from my own hospital visits, her surgeon is a good man who does not mentally distance himself from the plight of his patients as most of the others do, and if he hadn't "lost sleep" to stress over her condition, she might have not gotten the follow-up operation in time to save her life.

With that being said, what is it I need to know this week, according to the Ogham?

Re: Update & New Reading

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Patrick,

Wow, thanks for the feedback. I hope your mother has a thorough and restful recovery.

You drew three cards this week. All were ill-dignified. Ill-dig readings are not portents of doom just as well-dig readings are not a lease on a rose garden. They do indicate a negative attitude will do its best to try and get the better out of you, even in sunny situations.

For the You card, you drew Huath or Obstacles. Huath is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so take extra precautions, regular supplements, and don't run in socks. Other than physical risk, Huath talks about having too much or too little mojo. On a low-Huath week, you may feel your get up and go got up and went. It is OK to take it slow and take as many breaks as you can get in that case. If you've got that bull in a china shop energy, cool your jets and hang back, keeping your mouth shut and your actions conservative unless circumstances call for heroism.

For the Situation, you drew Tinne or Defense. This is yet another Ogham danger card, so the previous warning applies doubly. Paranoia has ironic outcomes: the most paranoid people put themselves in the worst danger. Be daring but not too daring. There is a balance between going gonzo and living as a wallflower.

For the Outcome, you drew Ailm or Transcendence. Beware false transcendence, that bright-sided toxicity so common among Americans but certainly not exclusive to them. The Gloomy Goth is the opposite and just as bad: nihilism and self-pity are tiresome and just like Gloomy Goth, they have been done to death.

Thank you. I believe I know what the second and third cards are describing, at least.

Hi Kimberly,

I'm here to ask again about a group related to a group I've asked the Ogham about before. With the first group, the Ogham said we should join, then that we couldn't speed up joining.

Now we have an opportunity to join a parallel group (part of the same organization but run by a different person). I'm unsure whether to join it or if so, in what way, so I'm here to ask...

Should we join it in way A?

Should we join it in way B?

Should we join it in way C?

(IOW, which way is best, A, B, or C, or are they all bad?)

Thanks!
-PW

[kimberlysteele]

Hi PW,

My Ogham are very clear: they say you should join in Way A.

For Way A, they give Koad or Confluence. Koad is three intersecting lines that come together in the middle like three roads converging: it means the coming together of all the right factors. Right place, right time, right people.

For Way B, they give Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. This one is not wise and not enough is known about it.

For Way C, they give Quert or Delight ill-dignified, which means C is a pain in the rear end.
