kimberlysteeleSubmit 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!

Date: 2021-02-22 09:47 am (UTC)Last autumn I took up Divination (Geomancy with shield chart and a dice). Last week I asked, if the dice is acceptable and got a No. Then I asked for severeal dices, a coin or a stone and always got a No. So I cut for pieces of wood and painted them in the colors of the elements. Today I tried them out and asked, if I would get very good results with this new set.
The answer was for Judge = Populus and for both witnesses = Via
I would interpret this again for a No. How would you?
Thank you, Stini

Thank you for your time.
a choice between two things
Date: 2021-02-22 02:59 pm (UTC)May I ask for a reading choosing between two things? I don't know whether to focus on woodworking or painting this year. I love to do both and I really need to focus. I've tried Horary, Geomancy and I Ching and am confused.
If that is not a proper request, I'll ask for a "what's up this week."
Thanks.

Thanks!

Would it be worth my time to take any of the Hellenistic astrology courses offered by Chris Brennan?

Date: 2021-02-22 09:11 pm (UTC)My Ogham say it's generally a good week for you. They give me Onn or Community well-dignified in the You position, which is to say you will have a healthy, balanced camaraderie with your "tribe" this week, and that often involves co-workers or people in your groups. I consider Onn a card of people who are close but not intimate: acquaintances and casual friends.
For the middle Situation position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. If I remember correctly, you've drawn this card in the past. This points to feeling stuck, I think. In some cases it indicates the sensation of false transcendence, and though I don't think this applies to you directly, only you know. It's in Situation, which could mean someone who believes they have transcended but is actually running away from their problems. I have an ex-friend who was caught in the trap of false transcendence -- she used positivity schtick to avoid working on herself.
She denied her own bitterness and brutally attempted to squelch her depression, which of course did not work.
For the Outcome card, you have Ur or Intimacy. This means that you are healing and learning the lesson of intimacy this week. Intimacy in balance is the crucial sense of saying the right thing at the right time, no more and no less. It's the idea of providing comfort without to your loved ones without smothering. I am fortunate to have grown up with parents who knew when to back off. This has helped me a great deal in my marriage.

Date: 2021-02-22 09:17 pm (UTC)My Ogham predict you will get this job: they give me Koad well-dignified, which is a confluence of circumstances that conspire to get you hired.
For the Outcome, they give me Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. This means that they will either push your limits in a bad way or that the job will be boring, meaning that no limits will be pushed but there won't be a whole lot to look forward to either.

Date: 2021-02-22 09:20 pm (UTC)I don't know how to read Geomantic tiles, so unfortunately I can't interpret your Populus/Via reading. That said, I asked "Will Stini get good results with the new set of hand-painted tiles?" and they say Yes. They give me Beith or Birch (Beginnings) well-dignified, which is to say your painted tiles are pleasing to the powers and you'll have a bright road ahead with them.

Date: 2021-02-22 09:23 pm (UTC)For the rabbit/painting dream, my Ogham give me Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. This is to say that there may be either the feeling of stuckness in that dream and/or a warning about false transcendence.

Date: 2021-02-22 10:07 pm (UTC)My Ogham say Yes. They give me Gort, Perseverance, which is to say it will help everyone to develop a much needed sense of solidarity, community, and resilience.
Re: a choice between two things
Date: 2021-02-22 10:16 pm (UTC)For the You (main) position this week, they give me Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. This means that Harvest is out of balance, which can point to either an excess or dearth of a sense of completion and reaping. It could refer to a major project that sits unfinished that needs to be done (me and my taxes come to mind ugh) or the over-harvesting of a thought pattern or behavior, like my husband when he decides to be a pill because he's in a bad mood.
For the middle card, the Situation, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. In this case, I would look for an outside factor that is exemplifying the opposite of grace and graciousness. Maybe it's someone who can't let go of their faded glory days or a relationship that's past its prime that needs to come to an end. Or it could be someone needing to let go of clutter or a bad habit.
For the final karmic lesson position, you drew Uilleand which means Generosity. The best approach to the other two cards is to be generous to a fault. If I had to nominate a deity to represent this card, it would be Master Jesus who gave up everything (and I mean everything) for the love of humankind.

Date: 2021-02-22 10:18 pm (UTC)My cards give me Koad ill-dignified, which is to say there will be a Confluence of factors that aren't positive. For the other one, it's a bit better. They give me Uilleand, well-dignified for that one.
no subject
Date: 2021-02-22 10:22 pm (UTC)For You, it will be Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. This is to say that the talismans will help you gain mastery over the concept of talismans in general.
For those around you, the result is Tinne, or Defense, ill-dignified. This means that you probably should refrain from saying a whole lot about the fact you have talismans because it is not helping the talismans do their job. What the Ogham seem to tell me here is the more secretive you are about your talismans, the better.
no subject
Date: 2021-02-22 10:26 pm (UTC)My Ogham give me a Yes, But on this one. They give me Coll, well-dignified, which is Wisdom, however, it is clear they think you should take your sweet time in choosing offerings from the site and consider some of the lighter material first, for instance, the lectures.

Date: 2021-02-23 12:32 am (UTC)I live in one of the areas affected by the recent winter storms, and my water is still out. What do the Ogham say about how long it will take for service to be restored (if this is a question they can answer)?
no subject
Date: 2021-02-23 01:22 am (UTC)I asked "Will it be over 5 weeks? If not, what number of weeks as symbolized by Ogham lines?" So they are saying "No, it won't be months, but it will be five weeks."
They gave me Ioho ill-dignified, which is a 5-line glyph.
So sorry you are going through this. I'll pray for you if you grant me permission.

Date: 2021-02-23 02:18 am (UTC)I would interpret this positively for the purposes of divination.
Your Right and Left Witnesses mirror each other. The Judge is completely balanced passive, so has no hidden biases if the Witnesses present in good faith.
You probably shouldn't do geomantic magic with this set of tiles, however.

Re: Oh I hate being a grown up!
Date: 2021-02-23 03:34 am (UTC)I feel your pain on this one -- it's very difficult to be a business owner, especially in light of current events.
They give me Onn, or Community, well-dignified. They are saying that you have to find a way to reach your local community and that it is the key to success. I have found that keeping my prices affordable -- not cheaper than the competition, but in the middle to slightly lower than average -- has been a source of resilience especially in an area with heavy competition. As a result, my brand is more accessible than that of my competition, and does not put people off with an elitist or exclusive air. Another thing is that my "product" is vastly different to traditional lessons because I incorporate recording, nobody else in my area is doing that. Lastly, Aphrodite is definitely the goddess you want to do some planetary charity to draw customers. She is the people-attractor, and nothing draws a crowd (and their money) like a crowd.

Date: 2021-02-23 06:14 am (UTC)Faceplant is FaceBook.
Frog porn is something I’ve been creating the last five years or so. I have a kiddy wading pool I use to collect tree frog eggs every spring. I’ve made videos on my phone of the frogs making the eggs, thus frog porn. Last year’s post on faceplant was the best, if I say so myself; I had a voice over of me singing “Froggy Went A Courtin” while the amphibians were at it. It rocked!
But I still need some kind of plan to keep my business going. Someone has to keep the overhead paid for. I doubt my next career as a Frog Pornographer will pay for the kibbles we need here!

Re: Divination tools
Date: 2021-02-23 08:40 am (UTC)The two current favorite beginner books are John Michael Greer's The Art and Practice of Geomancy and Stephen Skinner's Geomancy in Theory and Practice.JMG will comment on geomantic readings on his Magic Monday open posts at
Also see JMG's fundamentals of divination post.
If you look on Youtube you can find videos of geomancy sticks used as sigils in conjure work. That's jargon for taking a geomantic figure, making it with a set of sticks, and using it as a focus of will to affect event outcomes. Don't do that to your newly-made stick set.
By that same token, keep your sticks wrapped in silk or linen when not in use. Once your practice gets started divine if your sticks want periodic "cleaning" with Florida Water as well.
Hope this helps.

Date: 2021-02-23 07:03 pm (UTC)I’ve been in practice for 30 years and wonder if after all this COVID nonsense if it’s even worth it to continue. I’m working a bare schedule, essentially half a week.
I still practice because there are some people I’ve been taking care of for the full 30 years. It’s also still fun to help people. But the part about verging on having an expensive hobby is getting old, but I still want to keep practicing....I’m exploring what options are available to me.
I love your input.

Date: 2021-03-03 07:40 pm (UTC)I looked up Uilleand and saw the following listed meanings: "Walking in your own power, knowing your own worth, fecundity, self disclosure, hidden secret." Many of those taken literally are pretty on the nose for the goal of the surgery (since it has both a functional and a diagnostic purpose). Are those the meanings your practice has associated with it?
I also thought it was interesting that it said Koad is connected to the heart. My worry about the first group was they are *not* in the same system as my cardiologist, who therefore can't directly advise them on anesthesia as she has others in the past. No idea if "Koad ill-dignified" could also mean "Yeah these guys might not handle the heart problem well" but I thought it was interesting.
Thanks again!
