Submit your question or request for a general "what's up this week" reading and I will be happy to oblige!


I am happy to read your Ogham free of charge -- that's how I hone my divination skills -- but if you want to donate for it, I'll happily buy myself a book, a snack, or a cup of tea while on the town. Please only donate if you can absolutely afford it. I've been there. Your prayers for my continued success are welcome whether you donate or not!

Hi Sea Spray,

I did a general 3 card reading as a prognosis of your general love climate:

The You position gives me Muin or Grapevine ill-dignifed, which tells me that there is something romantic in the works out there for you that is not near its fruition. You are still in the development stages of crafting the outlook that will attract the right mate.

The Situation card gives me Straif or Blackthorn ill-dignified. This tells me the Situation is one of two imbalances, either you suffer from a lack of self-confidence and the idea that it's a predicament that cannot be improved by working on it or you suffer from being combative. I suspect it's the first one but I could be wrong. https://druidogham.wordpress.com/the-fews-water/straif/

The Outcome card is Gort, which is Ivy or Perseverance, ill-dignified. This means that the path to finding romance will not be easy at all. It's one of two imbalances: One is that that pickings are slim and the right person isn't available. It could also mean that you attract a bounty of the wrong people. I know this was always the case for me when I was single: I wasn't choosy enough and ended up in long-term relationships with men I didn't want because I was initially too nice to turn them down. Once I had gotten attached to them, my loneliness and sadness would weaken my will to break up with them. The result was that I ended up absolutely miserable, longing to be with a person who was more in tune with what I wanted.

Thanks Kimberly

Regarding the situation card I agree that it's a lack of self self-confidence rather than being combative. I hate confrontation. While the outcome is defiantly the slim pickings one.

I left an abusive relationship in February and have been praying to Aphrodite to help me find the right love for me.

I've got repeated Ogham divination's over the year telling me to sit tight and wait. The most recent was "What do I most need to know now?" Past: Huath, Present: Gort, Potential: Muin reversed. Which I took to mean that I've now started moving though it will take a long time so don't stress out about it.

I am renewing a friendship with a girl I knew years ago, Lets call her "L" and I'm hopeful thanks to a few synchronicities, including the above divination, but think I need to be very patent and let things go at their own pace. I don't know of her having been in any relationships and she's in her late 20's so I'm not expecting anything to happen fast.

Is it possible for this to be the "something in the works"? Can the Gort reversed mean that they're not yet emotionally available, but could become so?

I'm hesitant to ask if L will be the One but could I ask if the cards have any "focus on this" type advice going forward? As long as it's not a hassle!

I prayed to Bastet for you cats and our ones here, I definitely felt her listening! One of ours is having kittens!

Thanks Kimberly

Gort means Perseverance and because you got it in combination with Muin more than once points to something being in the works that isn't ripe yet. I wouldn't try to figure out exactly what it is. Instead, work on analyzing the abusive relationship through discursive meditation and keep praying to Aphrodite to provide guidance on how you can make yourself more lovable and a better candidate for a love relationship. Since writing her Orphic Hymn, I have connected with Aphrodite. I won't presume I can speak for her, but for whatever reason it popped into my mind how often those of us of a certain age neglect our appearance and our health because we underestimate the importance of beauty, especially where first impressions are concerned. You never know who might pop into your life and if you are looking for a mate, it is imperative to put effort into seduction, even at the age where we are tempted to shove it all aside as nonsense. I'm not saying be fake or present a show with no substance, I am just saying to do things you would do if you were trying to impress a potential mate, because that tells Aphrodite you're serious. I have always liked the controversial books by Robert Greene/Joost Elffers The Art of Seduction and 48 Laws of Power. They're entertaining from a historian's perspective, if nothing else.
