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 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 June 18 - July 5, 2026.

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.

You may have noticed this post is more than 12 hours late -- I arrived home from teaching piano lessons last night with tornado sirens blaring. The white-knuckle driving plus my book Sacred Homemaking arriving in physical copy form threw me for a loop. To make up for my tardiness, I will be extending Ogham reading requests to 12pm Sunday afternoon just for this week. Thanks for understanding.

Hello Kimberly,

I am happy that you are safe after the tornado scare! Many congratulations on the book!

Greetings from the South. Temperature today in my backyard is 89. I am praying for rain, but we don't look to have any coming. Weather extremes are everywhere.

Something to share: Yesterday my husband and I ran out of gas on the highway. We were in a rental car (our excuse) and didn't read the gas meter very well. The car dropped into neutral and my husband coasted right up to a DOT truck that helped us out with enough gas to get to a gas station. There are guardian angels! The SOP works.

May I please have a three card reading for the situation with TS and MH with an add on question what is MH supposed to learn from this?

Best to you. Thank you for being here.

Best,
Rooby

Hi Rooby,

Thank you! I'm glad you got so lucky during your highway scare... that sounds terrifying.

For the most immediate and prominent card symbolizing the situation between TS and MH, you drew Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. Though Uilleand can mean an outpouring of generosity from one party to another, it isn't necessarily positive and could be construed as molly-coddling, co-dependence, or one taking advantage of the other. It also could be talking about stinginess and pettiness, and that stinginess could be at any level, such as physical or emotional.

For the Situation, you drew Straif or Resilence well-dignified, and that means there isn't any real animosity here and that things will turn out for the best. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" comes to mind. This too shall pass.

For the Outcome, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. This whole situation is wearing on everyone's nerves, and it will drag on a long time. It's better to severely edit your speech when asked for opinions and advice. It will work itself out.

For what MH is supposed to learn, the card that pops up is Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. This is part of the flow and the troubles and joys it brought were as inevitable as the tides. Even in different timelines, it would have played out in a similar fashion. You just have to ride with it and make the best out of what is given.

Hey, congrats on the book release, and as always, thank you for doing this. I'm thinking about applying for a job that seems like an absolutely ideal fit for me in many ways, but it also involves some things I'd be less suited to, and if I were to get it I'd probably have to change some of my longer-term plans. I'll probably apply anyway, so I don't think I should ask the Ogham whether or not to do it. Instead my question is: if I do apply for this job, what do I most need to know to make it a success? (Deliberately keeping things a bit vague both to avoid influencing the reading and to spare you the personal detail)

Hi BBear,

You drew three cards for this question.

For the You card, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. The secret to this job is to reveal only the most rudimentary and basic aspects of yourself, as your mission must be to gain more knowledge of them than they do of you. You'll have to play it very, very cool, though not enough to come off like an aloof jerk. Basically keep it as light and lively as possible, but don't allow them to ask any intrusive questions. Know your rights.

For the Situation, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. The fact that this card is showing up means that this job may be hiding something or someone bad. This could also be saying that you are the type of person who would do fine in this job because of a thick skin or good connections.

For the Outcome, you drew Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. This card could go a few ways. It could be saying that this job takes advantage of your gifts, and that could be good up until a point. I was taken advantage of for my gifts in certain jobs and it was not fun. It could also mean that you will be better compensated than most. If the second one is true, this job is a good opportunity to live low on the totem pole, save money, and build a resilient future.

Hi Kimberly,

a) Last week, your ogham confirmed my higher self wants me to go to teach English in Japan. I have formulated a plan to get there, and would like to ask your ogham if they think it is a good plan.

b) I had another odd intuition, namely that I will not be in North America on my next birthday. Does my higher self intend for me to be in Japan before my next birthday?

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Anon,

My Ogham say that your plan is good. They give Ruis or Regret well-dignified, meaning that you have thought it through enough and the plan is as solid as a plan can be. You won't regret your course of action that results from this plan.

For b) and the timeline of your next birthday, they give Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. No, it's not necessarily this exact schedule. You need to let go of specifics and let the chips fall where they may. Don't just take any English teaching job -- do your homework so you can land well in the new country. There is no hurry.

Hi Kimberly,

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

Thanks.

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi AO,

Your week might be a doozy -- I had a week that was similar 2 weeks ago, and the Ogham gave me all ill-dignified cards. I survived and so will you! Hang in there.

For the You card, you drew Phagos or Teaching. This card often indicates frustration with that which cannot be known or is not yet known. It may have to stay a mystery, and if that is the case, give yourself breaks to take your mind off of it. This also can indicate a temptation to run your mouth -- forewarned is forearmed. Zip it.

For the Situation, you drew Koad or Confluence. Factors converge to make a great big s**tshow. This week, lay low, keep obligations to a minimum, and consider taking a personal day if you can afford it. People will try to bait you and it is up to you not to fall for it. Don't parlay with trolls.

For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace. We live in an overly busy world that is constantly pushing us into hyper-diligence and taking advantage of any shreds of good nature we have left flapping in the breeze. Withdraw and relax wherever you can. This is a good week to let go of childish thinking and old hurts.

Hi Kimberly,

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

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

Thanks!
-PW

P.S. Last week did go well with the group, so seemed accurate there, thanks!

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi PW,

Thanks for the feedback!

For the You or most immediate position, you drew Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. There may be some spoiled thinking or behavior that you need to nip in the bud both within yourself and among family members. Counter worry with gratitude and martyrdom with grace. Instead of focusing on what you lack or what someone has not done, thank them for good they did contribute, even if it means temporarily forgetting the list of unfinished chores or long-standing grudges.

For the Situation, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. This is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so I utter my usual warning about being vigilant and protective of health and safety. Other than that, this points out that no defense will ever be good enough from this evil world. All true resilience comes from the inside, a.k.a. the spiritual realm.

For the Outcome, you drew Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. There is no true bad side to Duir, and at its worst, it reminds us of our copious privileges and calls to us to appreciate them instead of taking them for granted. If your outpouring of gifts is from the heart, anything in excess will come back to in exponents over and beyond the multiplication of gift energy that occurs from giving in the first place.

For the group's mood this week, they get Oir or Epiphany ill-dignified. Tempers may be short and there could be drama over someone who feels they have been shortchanged. Stay neutral and try not to get involved if at all possible.

Greetings Kimberly! Thanks as always for your readings.

1. I have been taking an interest in learning plant medicine. I have attended some events related to herbal medicine and am already a gardener, and so shifting away from problematic Western medicine to a more herbal and naturalistic approach appeals to me. Does the Ogham think I should continue to be curious and approach learning herbal medicine?

2. Back in the day I was a big fan of a specific media franchise. I remain so and am enough of a fan that I could read fanfiction about the franchise and enjoy it. Part of me wants to do that (so long as it is good fanfiction!) because I would enjoy seeing others' takes on the universe and characters, but the other part feels they should prioritize reading more accomplished fiction and is also concerned about potential bad miasma surrounding the franchise. Does the Ogham think reading any of this fiction is worth my time?

3-4. I am looking into a new place to move into. Does the Ogham advise me to look into either a mobile home or something else for a new home? (Mobile homes may be more affordable than apartments in my area.)

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Neb,

My Ogham say yes, and they give Eadha or Limits well-dignified. You should study plant medicine, but you needn't study it formally at this time. Gather books, listen to podcasts (such as the Plant Cunning podcast, where I'll be a guest star in the next few months!) and most of all, get outside and do some foraging and plant identification as well as talking to various plants.

2. They don't think it is worth your time. They give Mor or Sea ill-dignified, which means either it has changed into something you wouldn't recognize, or you've changed enough so you won't have the patience you once had for the bad stuff.

For 3., they say you should look into mobile homes. They give Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified, meaning you have a good sense of what is a scam and what is not.

4. For looking into "something else" for a new home beside apartments and mobile homes, they say No with Ngetal or Health ill-dignified. There isn't time to see everything on the menu -- stick to basic apartments and mobile homes only.

Greetings, Kimberly!

It's kind of you to accept requests until Sunday.

I would like a what's up reading for the week.

With thanks and blessings,
Heloise

Hi Heloise,

No problem.

You drew three cards for this week.

For the You card, you drew Quert or Delight well-dignified. You do a fine job of practicing sensible moderation this week, essentially knowing when to say "when". Delight arises when you appreciate the simple things everyone else takes for granted and all those small gratitudes add up to a life well-lived.

For the Situation, you drew Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. It may be a rough financial week or a herald of a financial setback. I recently had one myself and it sucked but I will get through it. God will always provide if you stay humble and appreciate what you have.

For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. Huath is a straight up danger card in my Ogham, so I issue my usual warning about being a bit paranoid where safety protocols and prevention measures are concerned. Other than that, it is a warning not to force things or to step in where you are not needed, but at the same time it is an indication there might be a situation where you must act quickly and decisively, such as a rescue, emergency, or intervention.

Good evening Kimberly,

This week was spent lining up the ducks for traveling to the farm. I wasn't quite ready to commit to a date and tickets until I had everything else set up. The last thing, the tickets, ended up being more expensive than I would have liked, but with everything else in place, I don't have much of a scramble left to worry about.

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

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Ighy,

Thanks for the feedback!

You drew three cards this week.

For the You card, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. Huath is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so I issue my usual warning about not taking risks and to prepare for danger. Hopefully danger will not happen. Other than that, it is the astral telling you that your mojo may be lacking or excessive. If lacking, you won't have the energy to do everything you planned and you need to forgive yourself for that. If it is excessive, watch out because you might act rashly or make a dumb decision you'll probably regret later. Buy yourself time if you can.

For the Situation, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. You treat people well and you are treated well in return. One trick I utilize when I have to deal with a jerk or someone I have unfinished business with is I talk to them in the "place beyond time and space" as if we are both deceased and I am talking to their eternal soul. That way I can say what I like to them and get it out on the table. I believe I do talk to the best part of them, and even if I am technically not doing it, it makes me feel better.

For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. When you trust the Divine, it will always make sure you are cared for no matter what happens. This concept is virtually impossible to understand for people who have not been in touch with their higher selves and Holy Guardian Angels, as it is a baseline knowing that seems like arrogance from the outside.
