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.

Hi Kimberly,

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

Thanks.

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi AO,

You drew three cards for next week.

For the You card, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. Straight up, this card in this dignity means you are likely facing some etheric starvation symptoms. Etheric starvation is the most common malady of our time, and it is not fun: addictive behaviors, listlessness, feeling plain tired or tired and wired, and constant hunger are common ways etheric starvation manifests. Getting sunlight on the abdomen (spleen) goes further than you would think. Eat homemade food and bathe often. Other than that, Quert warns about overdoing the "delights" of life. Don't have the third beer or the second slice of cake, but be sure to have one or two beers and one slice. Teetotaling is equally as bad as the opposite for most people. Enjoy responsibly; moderation is key.

For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection. Luis is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so with it, I issue my usual warning and say you should be risk-adverse this week. Luis is also a call to connect with your highest self. Loved ones who have passed on may be trying to contact you. The way to help them and to help them help you is to embody their best trait while alive, effectively helping them to continue their own spiritual work from beyond the grave. Some day when I am dead, I hope people invoke my spirit by helping people of all ages and abilities to express themselves via music using my songs, my teaching methods, or both.

For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense, another one of my Ogham's danger cards. This indicates that you feel you are vulnerable. We are all under constant astral attack and you feel particularly laid bare lately. I suggest propitiating and doing planetary charity to Ares/Mars, god of diligence and self-reckoning, and following it up with a great deal of humble, "chop wood and carry water" self-work.

Hi Kimberly again,

Thanks for this. For the situation and outcome, are they well-dignified or ill-dignified? Your comment did not say.

Thanks.

Sure, the Situation was well-dignified and Outcome was ill-dignified.

Good morning Kimberly, fall actually fell in on time.

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

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Ighy,

My Ogham provide three cards for you this week.

For the You position, they give Mór or Sea ill-dignified. Through no fault of your own, the collective astral in your neck of the woods is pretty bad. Like the weather, this has not been caused by you personally nor is it anything you can change. Lay low, consider cancelling plans or setting strict limits on time spent and distance traveled, and generally ride it out. Expect bad dreams, grumpy people, and things generally going a bit awry.

For the Situation, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. Whether in good or bad dignity, this one is always a stern warning to keep your mouth closed at the right times this week. Other than that, this tree card commends you for your maturity and subtlety in dealing with other people, knowing which of your selves to present, and being considerate of the needs of others without becoming a doormat or a pushover.

For the Outcome, you drew Ailm or Transcendence. Hopefully you will not need to transcend more than usual. This means taking the high road, seeing the subtle details that less intelligent, less observant people miss, and acknowledging the spirits of place and greater arcs of force that influence the world. You are emerging from the tiny bubble most people are trapped within.

Greetings Kimberly!

What's up for me this week?

With many thanks and blessings.
Heloise

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Heloise,

You drew three cards this week. All were ill-dignified. This is not as gloomy as it looks at the outset, so please do not worry.

For the You card, you drew Koad or Confluence. If there is anything big or special planned this week, it may have some painful bits. Things are not falling into place and you will have to exercise patience with yourself, others, and situations.

For the Situation, you drew Coll or Wisdom. It is highly likely you are going to have to deal with people who are not using their full brain capacity. Keep your mouth shut for the most part and don't allow yourself to be baited: stupidity loves company as much as misery. It's very frustrating when people either don't want to learn because they already know it all. There is also the possibility this card represents trouble understanding more about something you'd really like to know about but cannot at this time.

For the Outcome, you drew Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. At its worst, this card could point to being taken advantage of for your generosity or being a bit spoiled. Perhaps you are doing the spoiling? It can also means something good, and that is you being the recipient of wonderful gifts and treasures, or you paying it forward and amplifying the forces of good.

Greetings, Kimberly. I took almost a year off your readings, as you recommended per your last reading for me. However, a dream I had that featured your blog in it gave me the cue that it's time to reach back out to you for a reading. Briefly, the dream featured me contemplating getting a reading from you for the year ahead, and also seeing a blog post of yours titled, "Dating People You Don't Like." (I know what the last part is hinting at - I want a partnership born out of sheer passion on my end, but the universe has given strong indications that I'll need to date a partner that is a pragmatic fit for me, one who doesn't necessarily excite my fire inside me with any instancy. The passionate boy in me is learning to adjust.)

1. Starting from this October and going into next year's October, what do I need to know to make the best of the year ahead?

2. I have a bit too many affirmations I am trying to use at this time. Call them affirmations "M," "G," and "S." I'll simply ask what aspect of life I should be regularly reciting an affirmation to help with, to help me sort out which affirmation to prioritize at this time.

From:

kimberlysteele

Welcome back. LOL Dating People You Don't Like! Ay yi yi, dream Kimberly is clearly up to no good. I have dated people I do not like. I do not recommend it. As far as having a great deal of physical passion, I believe that wanes with age no matter what.

This is going to be a challenging year. All three cards are ill-dignified. This does not mean it will be a "bad" year -- I have had some of the best times of my life on all ill-dig readings and some menacing sinus headaches/bouts of excruciating intestinal problems on all well-dig readings. Mainly, the Ogham predict it will be difficult not to put negative spin on life's happenings, and the more positive these happenings are, the more tempting it will be to see the bad in them, as that is what we humans have a tendency to do.

For the You card, you drew Onn or Community. It is hard to find your niche, whether it is in your career, getting along with neighbors, or within the family. Look at your aptitudes in multiple bouts of discursive meditation and ruthlessly prune out what you are not quite as good at. Pursue what is left with fierce determination. You may be asking too much of others in your life or they may be asking too much of you and your time. Limits are the answer.

For the Situation, you drew Ruis or Regret. There are two extremes of Regret. Extreme one is not having any regret at all, a la "I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken". Yes, we are talking about egomania. If this is the case, you need to look at where you've been wrong in the past, cool off, and not be so rash to insert your opinion or insist upon your way. Extreme two is too much regret and not dealing with it constructively. Regret becomes trauma when we use it as a way to flagellate ourselves. Remember regret is only as good as the determination to stop the regrettable behavior and move on to better pastures.

For the Outcome, you drew Eadha or Limits. It's crystal clear at this point that the Ogham are telling you to put strict limits on your time and energy. This may mean commitment to a new and diligent routine, exercising humility, or differentiating yourself from the crowd. I think they are saying you need to isolate what it is that makes you unique and special, meditate on it several times, and prune away distractions.

For your affirmations, they clearly don't like M and they give Muin or Harvest ill-dignified to tell you that. Does M have to do with abundance or wealth? Muin in this dignity can be a warning that when one desires unearned wealth and then gets it (for instance, all billionaires possess unearned wealth; there is no possible way of one human earning a billion dollars without there being plenty of exploitation in there) it is merely an agreement to earn that wealth in future lifetimes. I don't envy billionaires at all because every bit of immiseration they caused without remediating it via generosity or gratitude is going to be experienced by them at a later date, most likely in a later life. Some of them may never end up graduating this planet's lessons and end up as the next Universe's demons.

Hello Kim -

What do the Ogham wish to tell me about the month of October?

Thank you.

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Brendhelm,

You drew three cards for October.

For the You card, you drew Ngetal or Health well-dignified. Ngetal is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so please take heed and be extra careful especially in health matters this month. Other than that, this shows that you are setting good boundaries where your time and your person is concerned. This is a good month where balance is concerned; you are just social enough as far as what suits you.

For the Situation, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. A situation or person is wearing on the patience, and you still have a long way to go. This could also be a warning about living provisionally, wanting what cannot be, or not living in the moment because of worry or numbness to gratitude.

For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles. This is a danger card in my Ogham, and that means this October you should be wary of physical risks, not taking chances, no sketchy ladders, unplanned road trips, or running in socks for you. Other than that, it is a call to be diligent, to work like you do not need the money, and to stay humble. It is possible Ares (or whatever Martial force watches humans) is trying to take you to task so you may be improved. This is a very good thing, but it will not be easy or fun!

Hi Kimberly, how are things looking for my week ahead? Thanks!

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Anon,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You position, you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. Listen to your gut this week, because it is highly likely to be right. You have more than a small clue about what is going on behind the scenes and your insights are likely so good you should probably write them down. This is a good week to get rid of excess material clutter as it will help declutter other, more subtle planes.

For the Situation, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. You have a healthy ability to say "I could be wrong". You could also very well be right. You are maturing to the point where you actually learn from your mistakes, and this makes it much easier to forgive the mistakes of others and help them work their way towards similar states of understanding.

For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. There are a couple of states of imbalance possible here: one involves being too flexible and one involves not being flexible enough. It is a good week to analyze what bridges were burned in the past when you put your foot down and said "My way or the highway". You must learn to stand up for yourself, but not to the point where you are the only one standing on a desert island.

Hello. Your reading was accurate-- I was tired and more irritated at acquaintances then usual. I hope the irritation didn't show.

Can you give me a three card reading for the week?

Thanks,
Patrick

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for the feedback! Glad the Ogham could give you a heads up.

You drew three cards this week.

For the You card, you drew Duir or Gifts well-dignified. Duir is one of the very best cards in the Ogham deck, and it is a special blessing when in good dignity. You have opportunities to use and share your gifts, which offers insight into why you are incarnated and where you are in the cycle of incarnation. This is a good week to be extra giving, to put joy into all forms of work, and to be grateful for little and big things.

For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Health ill-dignified. Ngetal is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so be wary of health risks this week, take supplements and herbs, wash your hands, and get adequate rest. Other than that, this tells you and those around you to balance your health with moderation and to look for cures without expecting miracles. We all die of something and we are dying from the moment we are born.

For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. Though this is in good dignity this time, Tinne is another one of my Ogham's danger cards and comes with more warnings of needing to be risk adverse. When you worry too much, it often results in more vulnerabilities, especially on the astral plane where all real danger must pass before it gets to the physical plane. I often admonish "Gratitude, not worry" to the worrywarts in my life. That said, recklessness and daredevilry should always be avoided unless we are very young fighter pilots, whitewater rafters, mountain climbers, or stuntmen.

Hi Kimberly,

Despite having a big panic attack before taking my trip last week, it was a great trip. Your Ogham was spot on.

May I please have a reading for my week this week?

Best,
Rooby

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Rooby,

Thanks for the feedback! Panic attacks suck. I'm glad to hear the trip went well though.

You drew three cards this week. All are ill-dignified. I will utter my usual caveat that this week is not at all guaranteed to be a doozy. In fact, it could be amazing, but it means that you or someone around you might have a negative bug up your butt that diminishes matters a bit. The Ogham aways recommend that you count your blessings.

For the You card, you drew Phagos or Teaching. Out of the gate, this is a warning to keep your mouth closed at one or more times this week, and that means not just what you say person to person but also what you reveal online or on the phone. You may be naive to a subject that you are not positioned to understand at this time, and there may be no way around it.

For the Situation, you drew Mór or Sea. Mór signifies bad astral weather in the astral collective of your particular milieu. This is not anything you caused, but you still must navigate your way around it. Lay low, postpone big plans and decisions, and stay relentlessly positive because negative people and forces are going to throw everything they've got at you. Maintain your sense of humor in order to defeat them; evil crumbles when it is laughed at.

For the Outcome, you drew Oír or Epiphany. There are some people, things, and places that are never going to change and there is no use wishing it will be any different. Your biggest challenge is to change yourself, and not to reflect what you despise by hating it, but to shine so brightly and differently, they cannot touch you anymore.

Good evening Kimberly,

Last month was a wild ride; an immense amount of emotional work with very little else accomplished. At this point It feels like the same could be said for the year. At the beginning of the year I kept getting huath in your Ogham readings and that has proven accurate.

The feeling of being overly heavy is finally lifting and I would like to ask for a reading for the rest of October.

Thank you,
Misty

kimberlysteele

Hi Misty,

Thanks for the feedback!

Here is your reading for the remainder of October.

For the You card, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. It is a busy time, but it is also a time of celebration. The Ogham suggest you look at the good you've done, the people you've helped, and meditate upon what you have done right because to them, it is quite self-evident you've done some good works. You can rest on your laurels a little bit, just don't get too used to it as there is still much work to be done.

For the Situation, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. This is not an easy time to get any rest, so you may have to force the issue. Recently I came down with a head cold (I almost never get sick) so I had to take a rare day off despite the financial hit. I am truly glad I rested because I healed and I was able to come back strong. The Ogham suggest you get proper rest, cancelling what you need to cancel, and be kind to yourself because you deserve it.

For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. Though it is well-dignified, Protection is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so it comes with my usual warning to stay risk adverse this week, to guard your health, and to be on the lookout for all forms of danger. Other than that, it is your Holy Guardian Angel reaching out and asking you to look for subtle signs. It wants you to contemplate your special gifts and to figure out what needs to be pruned away so you can realize your best talents.

Hi Kimberly,

This week I'm here to ask if we should try to attend or sign up for a couple groups...

1. Should we attend Meeting A?
2. Should we try to sign up for Group B, without leaving any other groups?
3. Should we try to sign up for Group B, leaving Group C (since both together are expensive)?

Thanks!
-PW

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi PW,

My Ogham don't like Meeting A. They give Tinne or Defense ill-dignified, which suggests it could actually be physically dangerous.

For Group B and not leaving any other groups, they dislike it. They give Eadha or Limits ill-dignified, which is fairly clear. There is not enough time or money.

For Group B and leaving Group C, they like it. They give Ur or Intimacy well-dignified, meaning that Group B is friendly and tailored to what you want/need.
