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 Kimberly,

Last week you gave me a what's up reading consisting of Onn, Ailm ill-dignified, and Ur. I'm still waiting to see the results of a few things I did during the week, but you got the first two parts right. (Onn, referring to people I'm close to but not intimate, seems to fit my family in this case. We live together, but I am not emotionally close)

Since you've done a good job with them so far, what's up this week?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback! This week, for the You position, you drew Nuin, which is Communication. It is well-dignified. This means that your general message to the greater public will be positive and effective. Often when I draw Nuin, it refers to my social media presence.

For the Situation position, you drew Muin, which is Harvest. It is ill-dignified. This means that there is something or someone who cannot be rushed into fruition, or there is a risk of overstepping boundaries in an area from which you have gotten results/benefits.

The final card you drew for the Lesson of the week is Coll, ill-dignified. Coll means Wisdom. This could indicate several possibilities: the mildest one is that if you are expert in anything, someone will put you in the awkward position where they presume you know more than you actually do. Another possibility is that you yourself will put too much faith in a guru or leader. Yet a third is that you'll have the temptation to royally stick your foot in your mouth, and they're trying to warn you to craft your words carefully and remain silent if you cannot.

Hi Kim,

Hope you are well!

Q- Am I making the right choice for my future growth next week?

Thanks so much,

Tamanous

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Tamanous,

My Ogham say No, it is not the right choice. They give me Saille (Willow) or Sensitivity ill-dignified. This is to say that what you are sensing is a bit out of whack and that you need to sit on it/go back to the discursive meditation drawing board.

[tamanous2020]

Sounds good, thank you for the advice!

Hi! Just asking for a "what's up this week?"

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

My Ogham give you three cards for this week.

For the You position, you drew Koad, which means Grove or Confluence. This week is one of karmic culmination for you -- watch for a major lesson or perhaps a remembered dream that has to do with a past life. This one cannot be read as "bad" or "good" as it will probably be complex spectrum of both.

For the second card, the Situation, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. This means that you will be able to positively reinforce one of your inner circle relationships through your words and actions.

For the third card, the Lesson, you drew Straif ill-dignified. There will be a "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" aspect to this week, and when Straif is ill-dignified it is warning to pick your battles carefully and don't run away once the decision is made to fight.

Hi Kimberly,

My question is this: Will I get a job interview soon?

Thank you.

[kimberlysteele]

I asked "Will they get a job interview within the next lunar month?" and my Ogham said No. They give me Ioho, ill-dignified.

[kimberlysteele]

I asked again if you will get an interview between now and Easter Sunday and they also said No. They gave me Luis or Guidance ill-dignified.

Hi Kimberly,

(That’s not me above)

I have a couple more places to apply, one a drugstore, one another small grocery, which one, if either, does Ogham like best?

—Lady Cutekitten

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Lady CK,

They seem to like the drugstore better. They give me Gort (Ivy) or Perseverance for the drugstore and Nuin (Rowan) ill-dignified for the small grocery store.

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks! I like the drugstore better too, I won’t have to worry about the Wrath of Grapes 🍇.

Being a grown up etc.

Hi again Kimberly.

So should I use Facebook for promoting my practice?

Annette

Re: Being a grown up etc.

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham say No, it's not the first choice. They give me Huath, or Obstacles, ill-dignified. This means that Facebook will present difficulties and that you should look into alternatives.

Re: Being a grown up etc.

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks. I actually don’t like faceplant for business advertising. There are too many trolls around it and I hate reading negative feedback from people who are unthought full.

I’m actually relieved the Ogham says no!

Annette.

Re: Being a grown up etc.

[kimberlysteele]

I really don't care for it either -- I still use it but the atmosphere on it is increasingly toxic. It's very Chinese Communist, nobody is allowed to have a personality.

Re: Being a grown up etc.

I’ll figure something out....thanks for mirroring my dislike of that platform.

Hi Kimberly!

So, what’s up this week for me?

Thanks :-)

[kimberlysteele]

Looks like a week of karmic culmination for you. This reading is quite odd -- you drew three Forfedha, and the odds of that happening are staggeringly low. It's only happened once or twice to me in the three or so years I have been reading Ogham.

I don't read the Forfedha as well or ill-dignified unless I am asking a direct Yes or No question.

For the You position, you drew Oír, or Epiphany. This means you'll have a major realization about yourself this week that is part of your karma (i.e. past lives) and integral to your life's journey.

For the Situation position, you drew Koad or Confluence. Look for the perfect storm of factors that might be revelatory in nature. You could very well have a Watcher at the Threshold moment or a religious experience.

For the final Lesson position, you drew Mór, which is Sea or Change. This will be a week where you (and possibly others) can't avoid noticing how much you've changed with even more massive changes on the horizon.

Holy Molly!!

Will report back...

What are the Forfedha by the way?

[kimberlysteele]

The Forfedha are five "special" Ogham that are the Ogham equivalent to the Tarot's major arcana. They include Koad, Oír, Phagos, Uilleand, and Mór. In my system, they symbolize karmic culmination wherever they appear.

[open_space]

Nice! Thank you for explaining. Oof; Karmic culmination INDEED. Tough week so far with many things sitting on my door waiting to be faced, I hope I am doing a descent job at it, three days to go. Thanks for the heads up!
