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!

Sure thing! I look forward to hearing what your land has to say.

I’m still sitting with this information Kimberly.

We have a quarter acre part of our land which has some fir forest on it, thus it’s called “the Quarter Acre Wood”

I let the ponies and goats graze on it some times, but don’t do much else there. Perhaps I’ll just keep them off of it entirely so it can be wholly fallow. There’s some very old rusted out car pieces and wagon parts there, and some pieces of old wire fencing. This land has been homesteaded for over a hundred years and the farmers in the past would just pile up their junk away from the house. We’ve lived here for 26 years and have been gradually cleaning up the stuff as we find it. It’s occasionally interesting to find some of the stuff.

Anyway, that little parcel would be the best place to allow to go fallow.

We also have a hedgerow that helps protect some of the little people who share the land. I will occasionally see one of them out of the corner of my eye. My husband has told me he’s been seeing them more often this year. We think it’s a benefit of daily SoP on the land.

As far as rescuing animals, I take care of a Crazy Cat Lady level of cats, all rescued from either the local shelters, or who have shown up to live here. The oldest one is 21, Geranium, who showed up as a little black kitten in my planter in town outside my office when I was watering the geraniums. There are nine others living here too.

My ponies are rescues too. So is my dog. I try to be judicious about taking on more because it gets expensive and uses up a good part of my disposable income!

I like your suggestion about offering a libation at the honeysuckle vine when next Summer Solstice comes around.

I haven’t yet asked the land about if it wants formal ceremony, mostly because it’s cold outside and I’d like to be sitting on the land to ask.

I’m not entirely sure how to do a planetary charity. Is there a source I can check to get instructions?

Thank you so much for your time. You are providing me a great place to have conversations about these matters.

I didn't realize you were already rescuing! Yes, it is a TON of work and people think it's a license to dump their animals on you -- you really have to make a stand against that. I have a friend who runs a sanctuary and people constantly try to dump their animals on her.

Christopher Warnock has a lot of good things to say about planetary charity:

https://www.renaissanceastrology.com/planetarycharity.html

Essentially, I think planetary charity is best when you pick something you're REALLY good at and then dedicate it to the right god at the right time. I'm good at making original music, so my planetary charity takes the form of composing, recording, and performing Orphic Hymns. Let's say you're good at a handicraft -- you might make that craft and humbly devote it to Hermes on your altar on a Wednesday during his hour in order to gain his help with a reading comprehension project. Or if you're good at making cookies, you might leave a few cookies in your hedgerow dedicated to Aphrodite on a Friday during her planetary hour for five consecutive weeks.

Thanks for your kind comments! I enjoy being an extension of the sort of stuff JMG talks about. Of course I can't compare with his knowledge or expertise. Hopefully people get something out of it anyways.
