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 emails -- 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 December 18 - January 8.

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.

Hi Kimberly,

I'd like to apologize if this is a double post, as I got a weird error from Dreamwidth when I first tried to post it, and so I think it did not go through.

a) I'm planning a career change, and am wondering if your ogham can give advice on what I need to do in order to make this new career work.

b) I see a position available where my grandmother lives, so I would like to know if your ogham agree that I will have my best chance if I apply this Wednesday during one of Mercury's hours.

c) Both the new career and reason for it are, in astrological terms, Mercurial. As such, I'm considering a series of donations to the local public library in Mercury's honor. Will Mercury accept an offer of planetary charity to the order of 64 dollars a week for the next eight weeks, in exchange for help with making this career change as quickly as possible?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

No worries, I only saw one post -- this one.

For your planned career change, they have more advice about what to avoid. They give you Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified, meaning that you are going to have to try a bunch of things and see what sticks. It is actually a bad idea to commit to any one thing for too long because you need to experiment. In my husband's case, he used to be an IT guy and he was very good at it. When the company he worked for went under, he tried a bunch of things: starting his own business (he was not cut out for it), working at a pizza joint and delivering pizza, driving as a courier, and consulting. He ended up becoming a locksmith.

For b), they give Ruis or Regret ill-dignified. It's not the best chance, so if you apply this Wednesday, keep your expectations very low. Applying on Friday during the hour of Mercury, however, yields better results. For that, they give Luis or Protection well-dignified. Venus rules Friday and she is very good to petition when you want to get a job. You might also try burning a candle and some incense for her or playing my Orphic Hymn to Aphrodite in the background when you hit send.

For c) they give Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. Mercury can be a tricky god to please and from my experience with him, you have to propitiate to him for the long haul before he will notice you. Despite the job being Mercurial, I am going to suggest you propitiate to Aphrodite as she is the number one deity who can help you become gainfully employed and stay that way.

Hi Kimberly,

I'm interested in a three card reading for becoming an IPT.

Thanks.

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham do not like this for you, whatever it is. They provide three cards and all are ill-dignified.

For the You card, they give Onn or Community. You will find it difficult to work with others in the way this profession requires. There is also difficulty training or in the intrapersonal aspects of training.

For the Situation, they give Saille or Sensitivity. This could either make you oversensitive or you might lack the kind of sensitivity necessary, or some unfortunate combination of both.

For the Outcome, they give Beith or Intention. You need to go back to the drawing board and think of what you want, not being so specific. My issues as a younger person often related to me not feeling secure or safe, and it took a great deal of shadow work to understand that I was used to a high standard of living that was not possible for me to get back.

[anon_ogham]

Thanks for this, Kimberly. I did my own analysis a few weeks ago of this profession and had already concluded that this wasn't a good fit for me for various reasons. So reading the ill-dignified readings here wasn't surprising.

Hi Kimberly,

Thank you very much for providing this service.

I have two questions:

1. Should I go the entrepreneurial route and open my own company in the tech/education sector?

2. Would it be beneficial for me to relocate to Japan (long story)?

Thanks for your help!

[kimberlysteele]

You're welcome!

My Ogham say No, the entrepreneurial route is not for you at this time. They give Ngetal or Health ill-dignified, meaning that the stress and insecurity of being an entrepreneur would be absolute hell (a hell I know quite well!) and would throw you into a tailspin. This may change at some point, but for the moment, you are better off working for someone else.

For Japan, they like it for you. They give Huath or Obstacles well-dignified, which means that it would not be a cake walk, but you would get along fine there. Japan is not for everyone, but for you it would be OK.

Hi Kimberly,

I'm going to see a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor soon. What will the outcome be? I'm worried he will want me to stop being vegan, as this type of medicine has different dietary aspects.

Thank you for your time.

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham really like this TCM doctor. They give three cards, all well-dignified.

For the You position, you drew Mór or Sea Change. This doctor will help you get your health back on track in a big way. You will get a great deal of benefit from Chinese medicine. It's universally good in your case. This is such a big sign, I suspect you may have been a TCM practitioner yourself in a past life.

For the Situation, you drew Ur or Intimacy. This doctor is going to be able to tailor your treatment to a fine point. He is very gifted. Health is truly individual and there are no two alike. I am vegan, but I don't think it is for everyone and if he tells you to eat some animal products, you should probably listen to him.

For the Outcome, you drew Duir or Gifts. Healing is truly a gift and it can help you heal on all levels, including emotionally and spiritually. You will have to listen to your gut to know if he is as good as my Ogham say he is though, so take all of this with a grain of salt and be prepared for anything.

Hello Kimberly,

I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving and the time was restorative.

This week I have a few questions for your Ogham:

Is the information about Person B that I have received in my meditation correct?

What do they say about my other language singing at night? (The trees told me that I am singing for the trees and I am not ready to know the meaning of the language).

And one card for my week.

Sending you love, light and protection.

Rooby

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Rooby,

My Ogham say Yes, the intuition about Person B is correct. They give Eadha or Limits well-dignified.

For the other language singing at night, they give Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. The trees seem to be trying to protect you from something. I am not sure what. Tinne is one of my Ogham's danger cards.

For your week, they give Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. You are not over the hump yet and it is important to keep all in a state of balance. It is too easy to become black-pilled and overly negative. Remember that every time you have a negative thought, you must counter it with three positive ones. They don't have to be related to the negative thought. Three thoughts of gratitude, hope, or sweetness go a long way to counter the human tendency to fixate on the negative.

Hello Kimberly,

I hope all is well.

I'm wondering what your Ogham think about S? Will it be worth it? Or will it resolve well enough on it's own?

Thanks,

Ennobled little day

[kimberlysteele]

Hi ELD,

My Ogham give Huath or Obstacles well-dignified for S. S is a challenge that you are tasked to learn from because it represents unresolved karma you are working through. Even as an observer, you are called to learn from the mistakes of S and to delve into the whys and hows of those mistakes.

Will it be worth it? My Ogham say No. They give Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. Some things are not worth the price being demanded.

For it resolving on its own, they say No. They give Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified, meaning the source has to want to fix it, and in this case, that is not happening.

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks, Kimberly!

[ighy]

Good afternoon Kimberly,

To review: Coll and its indication to double check everything is what most I paid attention to last week.

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

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Ighy,

Well, my Ogham has been rife with all ill-dignified readings this week and yours is yet another one. Do not despair, however, because all ill-dig readings are not portents of doom. In my case, I drew an all ill-dig reading for Thanksgiving and it was a fine day with family. The Ogham were just trying to warn me about negatives that could get out of hand if I allowed myself to lean into them.

For the You card, you drew Straif or Resilience. Sometimes you have too much patience, and you are going to have to check yourself if you are drawn in and strung along. Boundaries are crucial. Make sure you are prepared for what you want to do and do not leave the house in a hurry.

For the Situation, you drew Beith or Intention. The best laid plans get sidetracked and you have to accept it. Make sure you think of what you truly want and not just a means to an end.

For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching. You might have to put up with a dumbkoff or some other kind of insufferable know-it-all. It is always better to give those types all the rope they need to hang themselves. In your own case, keeping your mouth shut is more important than usual this week.

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

Thanks,
Patrick

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Patrick,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You card, you drew Ngetal or Health ill-dignified. This card, especially in this dignity, can mean a health risk this week, so be very careful, do not climb sketchy chairs or ladders, be as prepared as an Eagle Scout, eat good food, and take your supplements religiously. Other than that, it talks about the need to set boundaries, both on your time and between you and other people.

For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. What you give from the heart comes back seven times or more. Wellness is wealth and wealth is much sweeter when it is earned. This is a good week to try to suss out any good deeds or gratitude you've had and how it comes back to you. It is not easy to trace but once you see it, you cannot unsee it.

For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. This is yet another one of my Ogham's danger cards, so once again I will state the warning I gave with Ngetal: you need to be very careful this week. Other than physical peril, this talks about trying to cover vulnerability by thinking or acting tough, or the opposite imbalance of being too soft and needing to toughen up to rise to the occasion.

Hi Kimberly,

Thanks for doing this!

I think this is 4 questions, hope it fits your format:

1-2. Should we try to join the regular meetup, or should we say we'll be independent members and work from home right now?

3. Should we try to email the leader to discuss the situation with more detailed info (possibly even trying for something in between the above 2), or not?

4. Since we're all pretty sick right now, should whoever feels well enough go to the first meetup (even if someone else is still sick), or not?

Thanks again (and I hope you had a happier Thanksgiving than we did! Still had good food to eat though)!
-PW

[kimberlysteele]

Hmmm, PW, it's really three questions.

For 1-2, joining the regular meetup, they give Luis or Protection well-dignified. You should join the regular meetup in the regular way. It will be fine.

For 3, they say Yes, you should email the leader for more details. They give Onn or Community well-dignified, which indicates the leader is used to such questions and will be happy to work with you.

For 4, they give Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified, meaning Yes, just send whoever is well enough to go.

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks!

Hmm, well, I guess I had it as 2 because we initially had planned to be independent members, but then higher-ups kind of on autopilot assigned us to a group. Last time I asked about it the Ogham seemed to say that either option would work out.

OTOH, when we made the decision to be independent, it was partly because my daughter was "going through an out of sorts phase" and tending to misbehave, and we didn't want to inflict that on the group. But since then, we've discovered that actually she was hiding an injury; she was in constant pain and that's why she was out of sorts. (ER doctor: "I don't think what she's told you could possibly be true, she'd be screaming and crying in pain." My husband: "She's a pretty stoic kid." Once they actually looked...) So now that that's taken care of, maybe she really will be fine!

But that ER is where we picked up this vicious bug. It might turn out that none of us is well enough to go this week. :facepalm:

Good evening Kimberly,

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I would like to ask the Ogham about three potential work options: A, B, or C?

Thank you,
Misty

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Misty,

It was very nice, thank you!

For A, they give Koad or Confluence well-dignified. All factors line up and make this a good choice that is well-suited to what you want.

For B, they give Duir or Gifts well-dignified. This has a high yield and will spread the most happiness out of the three.

For C, they give Nuin or Communication well-dignified. This satisfies the persnickety and fits the right niches.

If I had to pick one, Duir or B is the best.

[pleiadesdreaming]

Hi Kimberly! As always, thank you for this generously offered service :)

My question: I just returned from a trip to western Australia. I went deep into the outback to speak with a land spirit that had invited me there. The meeting went off without a hitch, but I wasn't expecting to feel such a strong affinity with the land there (I am from th Great lakes region, I spend a lot of time in the forests near lake Superior, with which I feel very much at home in). It was so uncharacteristically strong that I didn't want to leave and truly felt like I was home. Not in a sentimental, Hallmark-y kind of way, just the quiet, assured feeling of calm and familiarity one only gets in their homeland. Even stranger, when I returned to my actual home in the upper Midwest, it felt so strange and unfamiliar, like I had wandered into a stranger's home. It was so disorienting for the first two days, especially since I have poured a lot of time, energy, and love into this home.

Anyway, could I have some insight as to what's going on here? I'd love to know why I'm experiencing this.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi PD,

Hmmm, the Ogham actually feel that this is negative. They give three ill-dignified cards. FYI, today has been a banner day for all well-dig and all ill-dig readings.

For the You card, they give Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. The land spirits there were appealing to your restlessness. There may be unresolved karma over there. I am going to guess you were Australian in a past life.

For the Situation, you drew Beith or Intention ill-dignified. I have heard sinister things about Aussie land spirits and they are saying that whatever you encountered wanted you to stay. Though the Aussie land spirits are hostile to most humans, they liked you just fine and they sought to seduce you. My Ogham do not feel that following up on this love affair would end well. It is best to let this resolve on its own time, and that could mean waiting for one or more incarnations to get back to the Land Down Under.

For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. There is much you cannot possibly know. Gods are "higher up" than land spirits, so I am going to suggest you consult whatever deities you worship to enlighten you on what you were meant to learn from this journey and the disorientation afterwards.

In my own case, I have been conscious of tension between land spirits fighting over certain humans. In some cases, they fight to expel certain humans. Land spirits are truly odd.
