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 March 13 -- April 5, 2026. I have lengthened this break from my original plans because I need more time.

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.

Thank you for your generous donations. They often buy cat food and litter, groceries, and take out burritos and sandwiches for my Mom and me. If you would like to donate, please do it here:

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

Hi Kimberly,

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

Thanks.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi AO,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You card, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. This is one of my Ogham's danger cards, and since it also means health, I advise you to be extremely proactive about your physical health this week. Keep your feet warm, drink warm water, never cold, including cold drinks, and minimize raw, greasy, or heavy foods. Other than that, it talks about needing to draw stricter boundaries. Use lessons you have learned the hard way to erect stronger barriers when your time is being voraciously consumed by an outside party. It does not always have to be this way.

For the Situation, you drew Eadha or Limits well-dignified. This is a week where if you recognize the power of limits, you can get a great deal more of what you want out of life. Sometimes pruning is ruthless, like Odin One-Eye narrowing his focus to ascend to god-hood. Usually it is a lot less dramatic, like getting rid of some old junk you're never going to use or donating extra food to the local pantry.

For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace well-dignified. For anything new to begin, something old must give way and die. The rest is perspective. Some spend their entire lives in fear of loss and the old going away to be eventually reborn. Others see the beauty in it and work within its limits.

Greetings Kimberly! Thanks as always for your readings.

1. I'm planning to pay and sign up for an online class. I'm confident it's a good choice for me right now, but I welcome the Ogham's word on if they like the idea too.

2. The institution offering this is also offering a sale on a ton of other classes with some pretty slamming deals. Should I invest in one or two of these other classes too? I'm not interested in busting my tight budget at this time.

Thank you!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Neb,

My Ogham like all three of the classes you are considering; perhaps you can talk them into a bundle discount?

They give three cards, all well-dignified. For Class A, they give Nuin or Communication, which is positive connection with strangers and learning things you never thought yourself capable of understanding. This also seems to be high quality education.

For Class B, they give Muin or Harvest. This will yield the most tangible, usable results in the "real" world and is the most pragmatic and earthy of the classes.

For Class C, they give Ur or Intimacy. Only you know why this class will truly help, and it will be a healing experience to take part in it.

Hello Kimberly,

I hope all is well in Chicagoland.

I have a few scattered questions this week.

1. What does your Ogham say about AJ going to CA with AGN?

2. Why am I hesitant to plan this trip on AJ's behalf?

3. My panicky mood? I wonder if I am picking up the energy of the rest of the world, not exactly light at the moment.

Thank you!
Rooby

Re: Rooby

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Rooby,

My Ogham don't like the trip for AJ and AGN. They give Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified, which means it is highly likely to be more of a life lesson, sh*t show of a trip rather than nice times. AJ should prepare for the absolute worst and hope for the best.

For 2.) they give Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. This trip simply should not be your business, and though it is hard to maintain distance because of your relationship with AJ, AJ needs to take more of a dominant role in making this trip happen.

3.) They agree with you that you are picking up the energy of the world. They give Luis or Protection well-dignified, meaning it's your Holy Guardian Angel standing at the threshold, fending off the astral swamp creatures with a fiery sword. I have been feeling it too -- today was extremely rough. The recent eclipse ran over me rough shod. There's also some bizarre stuff going on with Regulus lining up with the Sphinx and a prophecy that around Easter we're all going to be given an informational "download" of sorts. If you want to look this up, it is called the Sphinx Prophecy of an event that is supposed to happen around Easter. I don't believe it's going to happen, but I do believe the collective astral is hella weird at the moment.

Re: Rooby

[roobyalien]

I drew a card this morning on my own Ogham and I also drew Coll ill dignified. Thank you for the confirmation. My ability to interpret the cards in improving, but is not really clear yet.

The trip planning is shaping up to be a mess with tempers starting to flare and AJ changing his mind. Incidentally, the trip dates are on the day of the Sphinx prophecy.

I have also been asked to travel and simply don't have the energy to get myself across the country right now. I am very much in the mood to stay put.

All along I have had the feeling that the trip would be cancelled anyway.

Thanks again!

Kim -

There is a purchase I am considering making. Do the Ogham think I should (1) make it soon, (2) hold off until May, (3) hold off until later in the year than May, or (4) not make it at all if I can help it?

[kimberlysteele]

They are very straightforward here. They give Ioho or Grace well-dignified, which means you should make this purchase soon. It is important to get rid of some stuff and possibly even cut and clear some other psychic messes before you make this purchase however -- remember that the main magical way to make room for new stuff is to clear out the old. Next week on Saturday would be an ideal time to do a cut and clear spell, and this week's waning moon is perfect for getting rid of excess material things via rigorous spring cleaning.

Congrats on your book

Hi!

Just found out about the book and have placed my preorder - thanks for the discount code as well...I'm glad that it'll be available on this side of the pond

I wanted to ask a question following up something I asked early last year. I asked about something I wanted to learn and the Ogham was very encouraging...I only managed to start late in the year ( because of time due to full time job, money concerns and health issues) and was very keen to progress but I just hit a wall of absolutely no ability to understand. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I'm a genious or something - but I tend to be good at learning stuff I'm interested in because I really enjoy learning new things - Here it was almost as if there was a block...I tried several things to no avail... So then I left it alone and was disappointed at myself

It's been a few months now and the other day I tried again and somehow felt like this time it was ok, this time I'm understanding...I'm again struggling with time again, but somehow it seems like this time I'll be able to really do it

My question is what does the Ogham have to say about this? Am I overthinking it ?


Many thanks for doing these readings for us! and I'm looking forward to the book... J

Re: Congrats on your book

[kimberlysteele]

Hi J,

My Ogham give you Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified for what they think of your approach. The equivalent of Coll in the Tarot is The Fool, and right now you are at the beginning of the Fool's journey. You are being tempted off the path to see if you're serious. Stick with it no matter what. Remember that 5 minutes of practice is better than no minutes. Even the tiniest bit of effort makes a huge difference on a regular basis.

For you overthinking it, they say No, you are not. They give Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. Since you are a gifted person, it's hard when you run into a subject where you don't have as much natural talent or where your talent is more latent and needs to be unburied through repetitive, diligent work. You are so talented at some things that when another thing is not easy, you feel you have hit a brick wall. It's more like what average people who are less gifted than you experience with nearly everything... welcome to that cruel world!

Re: Congrats on your book

[kimberlysteele]

Also, thank you for preordering my book! I am very excited about the upcoming release.

Hi Kimberly,

a) Feedback: I recently asked about moving from Canada into the US, either quickly or moving far more slowly. You said that the faster option would be worse, and that taking my time is preferable. This is certainly shaping up to be the case!

A faster move would have had a lot of curve-balls related to the way that the Canadian government makes it very difficult for a Canadian citizen to cease to be a legal resident of the country, and it turns out that it is a lot easier to sort everything out in advance of a move than after the fact. My personal favorite example is that I need to update my bank about my new residency status, which legally must be done in person. Since the entire goal I have in moving to the US is to cut ties with Canada before things get too ugly here, it looks like staying here for a little while longer while I sort out all the paperwork to end my Canadian residency will be a huge boon.

b) I've had experience that suggest a deity I worshiped for a bit wants me to resume a relationship with her. Can I check with your ogham if this sense is accurate?

c) I've had what seem to be past life memories emerging, which seem to suggest a fairly old past life in which I made a fairly major mistake that has consequences I am still dealing with. I have no direct memories of it, but I can remember several previous past lives remembering it; and I would like to ask your ogham two questions on it:

The first is if these apparent memories are reliable memories of the past lives which seem to have remembered a further back past life.

d) I'd also like to ask if this past life actually existed: past life memories are unreliable enough that I'm not sure I trust second hand past life memories like this.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback!

My Ogham say No, you are getting mixed signals that the deity you worshipped wants to resume the relationship. They give Phagos or Teaching, which means you might want to reach out to a male god instead.

For the memories popping up, they say they are generally accurate and good fodder for meditation. They give Coll or Wisdom well-dignified, and that implies that you'll have to suss out the information slowly, with subtlety, and that it will come in time with diligent work.

The one past life you've been a bit fixated on was not exactly who you think it is. They give Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified, meaning you might be remembering a friend's life and not your own. That tends to happen especially if we think we were someone super famous. Usually it's that the famous person's life touched ours in some way, such as a friendship or a parasocial relationship.

Good afternoon Kimberly,

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

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Ighy,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You card, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. You are being pushed too hard, and right now it does not feel that there is much you can do about it. That should not stop you, however, from making a well-thought out, long term plan about how you can slowly change things. Change may not happen quickly as you would like, but slow and steady wins the race.

For the Situation, you drew Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified. Beware of bad advice, lousy gurus, incompetents, and predatory authority figures preying on you and yours. We are living through some awful truths being revealed, and though it is better that they are out in the open, it has meant extreme discomfort and disillusionment. Stay positive and remember that being thankful for small things and things that others take for granted is your most potent weapon against the ruinous forces.

For the Outcome, you drew Mór or Sea ill-dignified. We are wading through some collective astral slop together. These are dark times. It takes great spiritual strength to simply be decent and upright in this era, and we are not even talking about heavier esotericism or deep mysticism, only living a quietly grateful and sane life.

Hi Kimberly,

What is something I can do this month to improve my life?

Thank you for your time.

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham give Luis or Protection well-dignified, and that is a clear call from your Holy Guardian Angel, the being that guides your higher self towards the homeward path of light and wisdom. Think of it as a friend in a high place. In order to align yourself with this being, my best advice is that you pray to it every day. Remember it is not you -- like its label says, it is an angel that has kindly taken on a guide role for your soul to navigate the dangers of Meatworld so that you can decipher why you are here and how you can vibrate closer to your Source or Creator. It is going to tell you the number one talent or skill that you should focus on while you are here. In my case, mine told me to focus on writing, teaching, and music (plus all of those things aren't as general as they sound, for instance, I am to focus on my own original music and let go of doing cover songs for the most part) and to prune away other things that I may like but am not completely passionate about. One of these is macrame. Another is furniture restoration.

Hi Kimberly,

What's up for me and my family in the next 2 weeks?

And, I'd like to again ask a 1-card, "What do I need to know about the current situation with this group (these 2 weeks)?"

Thanks!
-PW

[kimberlysteele]

Hi PW,

You and the family drew three cards for the next 2 weeks.

For the You card, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. Some lessons can only be learned the hard way, and you or someone in the family will have to go to the school of hard knocks. This one may also be pointing out the failures of modern education -- it is a dismal climate for learning, because if you are able to get a proper education these days, you don't have much company!

For the Situation, you drew Beith or Beginnings well-dignified. Energy is strong and a good start is on the horizon. It's going to be a good year, and it is not necessary because of some financial boon or turn of fortune (though I do hope that happens for you) but more of a shift of perspective. Perspective is everything.

For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. The storms you have weathered have made you stronger and have gifted you with a keen nose for bullcrap. You can smell it a mile away. True resilience is not about how much money you have -- it's what you do with what you have. You have the gift of discernment and can see through the fantasy to the sham underneath when it is presented to you with glitter and wrapped in a bow.

For the group, they give Koad or Confluence well-dignified. It's a good couple of weeks for the group, which is both receptive to ideas and productive in providing the happiness you've wanted from it.
