Ogham Readings on Mondays

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!
 



******************Thanks Everyone... Readings are closed for this week, see you next Monday!******************

Hi Kimberly,

Since I'm asking every week what's up and usually have at least one other question, I figure I might as well create an account to keep track of it all for future reference.

1) Last week, you nailed it once more, so first, what's up this week?

2) I currently live at home. I suspect my parents will try to force me to get a Covid vaccine, but I do not want to take experimental medication. I suspect this means I will need to move out soon: I don't want to deal with the emotional blackmail and pressures they will attempt on this; and I figure that there's a good chance they will say I either get it or leave anyway. Since based on the government guidelines it looks like I won't be eligible to get it until July, my plan is to move out July 1. Is this the right time to aim for, or should my target be earlier?

3) I live in Ottawa, which is a twin city with Gatineau. Gatineau is on the other side of the river, in Quebec instead of Ontario, and when I looked for places to live noticed rents in Gatineau are around a third less than Ottawa. What will happen if I move to Gatineau? This is a short term question, say for a year or two. Past that I don't expect to remain in the area anyway.

They’d kick you out for not getting a vaccine? Wow. My sympathies, and I hope it doesn’t come to that.

They genuinely believe that without the vaccine they and everyone around them is in terrible danger. Anyone who doesn't get it is, in their minds, putting not just their own life in danger but that of everyone they come into contact with. I doubt it has even occurred to them that any of their children might not want it yet: in their minds only obvious defectives who care nothing for anyone else and are too incompetent to make their own decisions anyway would even hesitate to get one of the vaccines, let alone actually decide not to get one.

So my plan is to move out before that even becomes an issue.

The entire thing is surreal. I will avoid telling anyone I chose not to get the vaccine, since it doesn't seem safe to do so. I've already heard people saying they think violence against "antivaxers" is justified, which tells me all I need to know. The next few years will probably be disastrous in many different ways.

I view it like any other medicine—after it’s been around 5 years or so and hasn’t killed a lot of people, sure, I’ll be interested. I can’t figure out what the frenzy is. I don’t remember emotional battles between people who did and did not take Vioxx.

I want to see the standard set of data before I'll consider it, and what I'm seeing through VAERS is giving me enough pause. I suspect there will be some truly horrific side effects coming out in the next few years....

Thank you for your readings! I suspect quite strongly I will need to spend a long time becoming the person I apparently can be. Past me left a lot to be desired; present me is better, but still a long ways away from being anything special. So I have an awful lot to work work on, but I know I will figure it out. I'm already a better person than I was just a few months ago; I can't wait to find out who I can be a year from now!

I do seem to keep getting Ioho in the lesson position! It's odd though, because it's been both well and ill dignified, seemingly about equally. I think there's something they are trying to say, but I'm not sure what it is just yet.
