Ogham Readings on Mondays

[kimberlysteele]

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! I'm the person who asked about a potential surgery last week. Thanks for doing this!

My follow-up question this week is: If I don't have surgery but instead take the prescription drug treatment I've been offered, what will happen?

(I know you only signed up to practice your divination skills and not explain them, so no problem if you don't want to answer this, but I was also just wondering, how does something being "ill-dignified" affect its meaning?)

Thanks again!

Hi, I'm not comfortable answering yes or no questions that involve medical treatment, so I'm going to pass.

In my system, when an Ogham is ill-dignified, it means that it is out of balance in one of two extreme directions. Let's take the Ogham Quert, which is the apple tree and means Celebration when well-dignified. Let's say you are going to a party and you ask about how it will go and Quert pops up. If it's well-dignified, this is saying that you'll have fun at the party and you'll have good feelings about it all around. If it's ill-dignified, this could mean that you end up not going to the party (not enough Celebration) or it turns out to be boring. Not the end of the world, but the balance wasn't tipped towards fun and merriment. Let's say you do go and you drink too much, eat half a cake, and end up wearing a lampshade on your head. You feel like garbage the next day and have a bit of regret for getting so crazy. Again, not the end of the world, but it was clearly too much Celebration. It is up to you to figure out which imbalance the Ogham meant in my system.

I'm sorry, I didn't think I asked a yes or no question? I'm confused now. (For one thing, it's occurred to me that I might not be able to get the surgery I'm considering even if I decide to pursue it. Last week I asked what will happen if I *get* it, not what will happen if I *pursue* it, you know?) Has something changed since last week? No big deal, I'm just...befuddled here.

Anyway, thanks for the explanation! (I tried to search on it and wasn't sure if what I found applied to your system.) Thanks for taking the time!

No worries. Since you're anonymous and I don't make a note of IP addresses unless it's someone trolling me, just ask the question in a vague way, like "What will happen if I do Thing A instead of doing Thing B?" The intelligences who work through me will know what it is all about (even if I have no idea) and afterward you can also double-check my answer with my Ogham website at http://druidogham.wordpress.com.
