kimberlysteele | Ogham Readings on Saturdays

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.

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:

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

Hello Kimberly! My question this week is: What do I need to know for this upcoming week?

From:

Hi Kimberly,

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

Thanks.

Good morning Kimberly,

To review: The trip concluded well enough, everything I had set out to do was completed, and I am back home. It is definitely ice soup season, budgeting out the remaining expenses of the year, pacing out the fat and reserves built up earlier. During this trip I was reminded of the purposes of being out here, my role of guiding my brother to adulthood, squaring the circle of the farm's sustainability, exploring my own interests, and shifting my energy around to find balance between these focuses.

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

From: (Anonymous)

Hi Kimberly,

Thank you and your Ogham as always for this service.

Could you give me a reading for what to expect in the month of October 2025?

Thanks,

Jan

Good morning Kimberly,

As always thank you for your Ogham readings.

I am wondering if R is depleting W and whether or not the situation is healthy.

What does my scheduled trip look like this week?

What do they say about red flags this week?

Thank you!

Greetings Kimberly!

What's up this week?

Hello, Kimberly. Can I have a three card reading for the week?

Thanks,

Hi PD,

You drew three cards for this week.

For the You card, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. Something you've expected to be good or paying out by now is not yielding results, and it may be time to question how much you have invested. If the investment is in a particular behavior or reaction, it is time to look at that behavior or reaction in meditation.

For the Situation, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. Resilience is adaptability, not how much or little advantage you start out with. The Ogham say you are well-outfitted to handle a bit of drama, but the worrisome part here is that drama may come knocking to test you out.

For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. You have a good sense of who your friends are and who they are not. Your people-meter is functioning well. Onn is about fitting snugly into a particular niche and making that relationship win-win. You make the most of your relationships this week with people in your circle outside your immediate family.

Hi AO,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You card, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. Lack of sensitivity is often the rebound of oversensitivity. It goes in fits and starts: oversensitive one day, numb and emotionally battered the next. Pay attention to the etheric -- this means your own etheric body, what is going on with your digestive system, and also the space around you. Thank items and spaces as if they were people and pare down possessions in order to improve the etheric environment.

For the Situation, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. You are expecting too much of others and this is likely a projection of the unrealistic and unattainable standards you set for yourself. You know what I am about to recommend plenty of here...discursive meditation. Keep in mind that "stupid" people who do truly boneheaded things are oftentimes those who have not had as many human incarnations as you. Cut them some slack. Remember the Grand Canyon was carved one drop of water at a time and obviously it did not happen overnight.

For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. Tinne is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so I utter my usual warning about being risk adverse this week. Other than that, it means you are becoming more aware of what is truly dangerous and what is a nothingburger and what lies somewhere in between. This is a crucial skill that most people do not possess. That is why there is so much free-floating, toxic anxiety in the collective astral.

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Ighy,

Glad to hear it and thanks for the feedback!

For the You card, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. Knowing yourself is tough because the collective astral is so cluttered at the moment and so many (myself included) have been born with severe spiritual retardation. You have to get your head on straight, err towards discrimination and leaving stuff out, and to say very little.

For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. Luis is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so I utter my usual warning and suggest being risk adverse this week. Other than that, this is a call to invoke your higher self and to connect with the higher selves of loved ones who have passed on from Meatworld by embodying their best traits while alive.

For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace well-dignified. Some people do not deal well with endings, letting go, and death. You do better than most. You know when it is time and you turn every mistake into a learning opportunity. Your grace may be needed by those around you. Graceful people are in short supply these days!

Hi Jan,

You drew three cards for October.

For the You position, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. No matter what the dignity, Phagos is always an admonition to observe more and speak less. A truly amazing teacher never forgets what it was like to be a student, and we are all students of something. This month offers both teaching and learning opportunities, not all of which are going to be pleasant, but all useful in their way.

For the Situation, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. Fearn is symbolized by the mulberry tree in my Prairie Ogham (I include both native and non-native plants). Mulberry is often considered a "trash" tree by ignoramuses who don't like the mess the berries and the birds who eat them creates. What others discard and view as trash becomes your treasure. Not all trash is worth saving, but some of it is not even trash, like the mulberry tree. Choose carefully and elevate what others dismiss, saving what they left for dead.

For the Outcome, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. Ngetal is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so I am going to alert you to the need to be careful with your health. Take a multivitamin every day or its herbal equivalent, get adequate rest, and be wary of stress and anxiety. Other than health matters, Ngetal in ill-dignity indicates a need to set stricter boundaries on your time and to draw lines in the sand where people are concerned.

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Rooby,

My Ogham say R is not depleting W. They give Ngetal or Health ill-dignified, which is to say that R has strong enough boundaries that this is not the dynamic (at least not entirely) but it does hint that it could easily become a depletion scenario.

For "Is the situation healthy?" they say No, it is not. They give Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified, which means many lessons will be learned the hard way from it. There may be no other choice. You should stay out of it as much as possible and let nature take its course.

For the scheduled trip, they like it. They give Oir or Epiphany well-dignified, which means this is the best possible time and circumstances -- it won't get any better. It is important to define to yourself exactly why you are taking this trip and think about the reasons and contributing factors for it.

For the Outcome, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. The red flags are two different ones: trolls and the internal troll of self-doubt, that mean girl who lives inside of you who craps on all your plans and paints all you have ever done in a negative light. Put her in her place and let her know that you are the boss. The other potential red flag is outside drama and having to be the bigger person. Say less, not more, and if in doubt, leave it out.

Hi Kimberley,

My two sisters and my mother live 500 miles away. We are not close emotionally, but I sense things are not going well out there. Honest conversations are not a thing in my family, sadly. My question is:

Is the best course of action on my part to simply drop out of their lives unless I hear from them? The insight of your Ogham is always valuable.

Thanks for your time and talent,
Valerie

Good evening Kimberly--
Hope your weekend is going well.

I am considering a specific program to build some physical, mental and spiritual health/resilience as we move through the winter season as cold weather, but more importantly, darkness, is very depleting for me. I'd like a 3-card reading about this program.

Thank you so very much.

As a follow-up to which occult program to pursue, the Ogham were spot on as usual. The two they were not keen on for me are the ones I was the least sure about. The one that 'fits like a glove' is the one I was most drawn to intuitively, though it's very tempting to follow first the one that will provide some Mercury healing/ benefits/ reconciliation as I am a Gemini with Virgo rising and sometimes have a smidge of conflict with Mercury. That said, who can resist 'fits like a glove' so I will begin there first. Thank you.

Good evening Kimberly,

Dicursive meditation is a very powerful force indeed. I've been resistant to it for over a decade thinking that driving and reflecting on a topic was good enough. I think your essay from last June is what finally brought me onboard. Thank you.

This week I would like to ask the Ogham about a writing project. What would be the outcome for myself, my family, and my community?

Thank you,

Misty

Hi Kimberly,

Do your ogham like my planned date for sending my manuscript to a publisher?

Hi Kimberly,

What's up for me and my family this week?

Thanks!

P.S. I don't know if this has anything to do with our all ill-dig reading for the past week, but we all had a bad cold all week.

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Heloise,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You card, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. Firstly, this is a week to watch your mouth and either edit what you say with a severe hand or say nothing at all. Phagos in this dignity can indicate having to suffer foolishness, especially the foolishness of loved ones, or feeling foolish.

For the Situation, you drew Ruis or Regret ill-dignified. Beating yourself up about the unchangeable past is not going to help anyone, least of all you. Blame is also toxic and can easily be misplaced. Better to look at the past for its positives and the horrors that could have happened but did not happen than to fixate on all the wrongs that were done.

For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. You catch yourself before taking out your own angst on others and though it may seem like nobody notices this, the Divine notices it, including your divine higher self. You are on your way to the maturity of not needing to impress everyone, and that means not having to make it all about you in any given situation.

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Patrick,

You drew all ill-dignified cards this week. This is not a portent of doom; not in the slightest. It is more of a gentle warning not to let negativity from within or without color your experience.

For the You card, you drew Onn or Community. The world of casual acquaintances, non-best friends, and customer service may be a bit offputting and hostile. Don't take it personally. In my own case, I am from northern Illinois, which is both a place where people hide under a bright-sided mask and shout obscenities at each other in heavy traffic. I am glad for the latter because I have developed a thick skin about it after many years. This is just the way people are, take them or leave them.

For the Situation, you drew Quert or Delight. It's easy to deprive yourself, to over-do, or to swing to each opposite in a short amount of time. Remember moderation is the key to all health, and that means having a treat. Just don't drink the whole bottle/eat the whole bag.

For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity. Both Quert and Saille in the same reading tell me you have etheric problems, meaning you have got issues with your etheric body. Do some etheric body repair work: sitting down with trees, fully immersing yourself in water (long bath or shower), eating homemade food if you can get it, massage. Another, less direct method of repairing the etheric is de-cluttering and thanking your spaces and items religiously.

Hi Valerie,

I feel your pain on this one because I have a brother who lives far away, which is tough on my mother. It is not so bad for me because I am close to my other brother who lives more locally, but for my mom, it has been difficult.

My Ogham say No, you should not drop out of their lives. They give Ioho or Grace ill-dignified, and that means dropping out would be the equivalent of throwing out the baby with the bathwater. You have to be the bigger person -- make the obligatory calls or texts once every couple of months, send the birthday cards, and take them as they are with no expectation they will ever grow or change. They sound emotionally retarded. Everyone is retarded at something... you should see me dance. Or maybe you shouldn't. Be the kindest one even if you are painted as naive and a loser. You won't regret it.

Hi MJ,

Thanks for the feedback! That is exciting to hear about your new occult direction.

As for the program for Winter, they like it a great deal. They give three cards, all well-dignified, so full steam ahead.

For the You position, they give Eadha or Limits. This new program is exactly right for you. Keep your expectations realistic and your hopes high. If you do the work, the Ogham think it will reward you handsomely.

For the Situation, they give Luis or Protection. Your higher self and your Holy Guardian Angel are aligned with this program. You will build resilience not just for this winter but for many literal and metaphorical winters to come.

For the Outcome, they give Muin or Harvest. This program has a huge return on investment. This is the right direction to be going in, say the Ogham. This leads to abundance in other parts of your life; it is not confined to a small area.

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Misty,

I am delighted to hear that you are harnessing the power of discursive meditation! It helps me a great deal, especially as a writer.

For your own project, the Ogham provide three cards.

For the outcome for you, they give Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. It is difficult to be heard in this world and reaching a wide audience is forecasted to be difficult with the current material. It may be difficult to finish or have trouble finding its mark.

For the outcome for your family, they give Eadha or Limits well-dignified. Your family benefits from this project, maybe because it inspires them or is inspired by them. Get your thoughts down regardless of what the success forecast predicts -- writers gotta write.

For the outcome for your community, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. For whatever reason, the community is not supportive of this project without some tweaking. Meditate on why this project, once finished, might go over like a lead balloon in your neck of the woods.

From:

kimberlysteele

Le sigh... No, they do not like it. They give Mór or Sea ill-dignified, meaning via no fault of your own, all factors converge to make that date into rough sailing.

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi PW,

Sorry to hear that! Yes, that sounds exactly like the sort of thing an all ill-dig reading would predict...

You drew three cards for this week.

For the You position, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. Play it close to the vest this week. If you have negative emotions and/or anxiety, earth it out instead of taking it out on someone. Not everything needs to be said to everyone. Honesty is often the worst policy and in an ironic way can be more sinful/damaging than omitting the truth. It all depends on who and what we are dealing with.

For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. Luis is one of my Ogham's danger cards so unfortunately it means you and the family are not out of the woods yet. Take vitamin supplements or good herbs like nettles, lemon balm, and cinnamon, get enough rest, and stay hydrated. Other than that, this again talks about the need to re-focus on gratitude when we are overrun with irritation or anxiety.

For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. You've got that fighting force back in you by the end of the week, which looks rosier than the beginning. Challenges are not as difficult to face. That said, Huath in any dignity is another one of my Ogham's danger cards, so once again, it is a high alert week. Get well soon!

From: (Anonymous)

A few years ago, I developed an addiction to Coca-Cola. Without it in my system, I have trouble feeling positive emotions and am exhausted most of the time. And I do not get better if I deprive myself for a period.

A divination suggested that this issue is a lingering effect of taking the MRNA vaccine.

Is this dependency primarily an etheric issue? I ran out of Coca-Cola this morning and am waiting for tomorrow morning to get a case.

Patrick

From:

kimberlysteele

Yes, addiction is usually an etheric starvation issue. You might want to try substituting green tea, sweetened at first and then gradually easing off the sugar.

Hi PW, thanks for the feedback! I read your comment -- right before Dreamwidth ate it. I'm glad to hear the decluttering worked and I hope your husband continues to heal well.
