Hi, what do they have to say to me about the upcoming week?

—Lady Cutekitten

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Lady CK,

My Ogham give me three cards to advise you this week. The first or You card is Tinne. Tinne means Defense and in my Ogham is symbolized by the Eastern cedar. Like the cedar, you may have a need to get prickly with someone this week, but generally it is all good. You are balanced in Defense.

The second card, the Situation, is Oír or Epiphany. You'll have a big realization this week, for better or for worse. You'll figure out how to go around an obstacle or unravel a conundrum from the past.

The third card they give me, the Outcome, is Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. This means you will have to learn a lesson about limits this week. Eadha ill-dignified tells you to take precautions not to overextend yourself or your resources as much as humanly possible. It can also indicate a School of Hard Knocks lesson with limits that is important for your karma.

a) My parents are both getting their Covid shots this week. The government has also started making them available to people over 18 living in certain neighbourhoods, including one more or less adjacent to where I live right now. My mother has informed me point blank she will set up and appointment for me the moment I am eligible. EDIT TO ADD: She has outright said that she does not care about whether or not I want it. As such, I no longer feel safe living here.

My plans had been based on having more time to plan a move, which I think is no longer the case. What do your Ogham have to say about moving out May 1?

b) What's up this week?

[kimberlysteele]

They say you should move out May 1. When I asked "How is moving out May 1 going to work out for him?" They gave me Beith, or Beginnings, well-dignified. They are enthusiastically telling you to get out of Dodge on May 1.

Kabbalah

[lloydgd]

Hello Kimberly, Here is my question, I've kept it very sparse.
Should I study the Jewish Kabbalah?
Many thanks, Lloyd

Re: Kabbalah

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Lloyd,

My Ogham say Yes, you should study the Jewish Kabbalah -- they give me Uilleand (Trumpet Vine) or Generosity well-dignified. This indicates your study will be generously rewarded.

Is the etheric banishing exercise just recently posted by JMG appropriate for me to use?

[kimberlysteele]

Oddly, my Ogham say No, it isn't appropriate for you right now. They give me Ngetal, or Hygiene, ill-dignified.

The role of writing in Duir, Gifts

[cs2]

Hi Kimberly! Thanks to your readings, I jumped down a rabbit hole of my own Ogham readings last week.

Could you ask your Ogham how I should view my writing, in regards to my preparation to receive the gifts from Duir and funnel these gifts to others? (based on that awesome reading from a few weeks ago)

I drew Straif upright for writing last week, which to me sounds like "it's something you've just got to do." That struck me as strange, since my writing generally doesn't make a profit and doesn't pay my rent. I certainly wish it did, since I love doing it. Thanks in advance!

Re: The role of writing in Duir, Gifts

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

My Ogham give me Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. This is to say you should view your writing as something that helps people process their own pasts and helps them to cultivate grace where they truly need it. They also seem to be saying you need to let go of your old visions of what it means to be a writer and embrace a new outlook where the craft of writing is concerned.

What' up?

[jpc2]

Hi Kimberly,

Last weeks reading was very useful. See comment under last week for details.

So what should I be watching for this week?

John - Coop Janitor (that's what I did over the weekend :-) )

Re: What' up?

[kimberlysteele]

Thanks for the feedback, John!

This week, for the You card, you drew Huath or Obstacles (Sycamore) ill-dignified. This means there will be a tough situation where there is "no way out but through". You'll have to be brave and wise to get through it and there is no guarantee of success. Personally, I drew this same card today ill-dignified for my eye exam/new eyeglasses appointment. As predicted, it sucked to the tune of $350 dollars (I have bad vision) but the plus side is I obtained the prescription and with any luck can order my glasses online for the next 10 years if/when they need replacing.

For the middle card, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. This is the Situation this week. It points to you being resilient and well prepared for life's curveballs.

For the final card, or Karma, you drew Phagos or Teaching. This week you will have the opportunity/obligation to teach what you have great knowledge of to someone else.

Reaching out to a friend... or not.

[(Anonymous)]

Hello Kimberly,

Thank you so much for doing this service.

The question is up there in the title: should I make an extra effort to reach out to an old friend this week for her birthday, or not?

I'll try to skim through the details - we had a very, very close friendship for many years. Then COVID happened, she walled herself away, and I found myself unable to bear social media like Facebook. At first we called each other constantly, then she broke several long-standing promises to me (editing my first novel chief among them) through "ghosting" - through much effort, I worked through my feelings, dropped my expectations and forgave her (though we have never honestly discussed the broken promises, as to do so would have brought forth my rage, which would have driven her away for good). Ever since, though, we've talked less and less.

I have a lot of compassion for her - she's lived, I now see, a life animated by fear, and thus failed to create any lasting intimate relationships in her life, leaving herself no option but to cling ever closer to her abusive mother as she passes into menopause. I don't want to flippantly walk off and leave her alone to her karma, as our friendship was deep and true. Also - I miss her. But I've sent two unanswered texts now and am also having a feeling of "Oh, come on..."

Anyway, her birthday, which she's always made a big deal about, is this week. I am wondering whether I should sign into Facebook for the first time in a year to **ensure** that she can see my birthday wishes, and know that I still care about her, or... if that isn't the right path.

Whatever the Ogham say, thank you for the opportunity to work through this.

Best,
VW

Re: Reaching out to a friend... or not.

[kimberlysteele]

I asked my Ogham three questions on your behalf. Number one was "Should she log in to Facebook and wish her friend happy birthday on it?" They say "No." They gave me Muin (Nightshade) or Harvest ill-dignified. They are saying that she is experiencing a bitter harvest. This behavior of hers has its own karma and she needs to work through it on her own.

I asked them if you should send her a physical birthday card (if it is possible) and they said Yes. They gave me Saille, which is Willow or Sensitivity. They seem to say to keep it simple, don't write an accompanying letter, just a card with your name signed to it. Saille often implies elegance, flexibility, simplicity, and lightness of touch.

Thirdly, I asked what you should expect in the future. They were very clear. They gave me Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified which is to say to let the intimacy of your friendship remain broken.

I feel your pain on this one because my oldest friend who went COVID crazy. We were like siblings -- I used to be much closer to him than either of my brothers. The friendship was on thin ice before COVID and his reaction to COVID sealed the doom of our relationship. I had been asking whether or not I should do a cut and clear in the year 2018 and it ended up happening naturally in 2020.

Hi Kimberly,

Thank you for doing divination for us! I have a simple question: it looks like governments in English Canada is about to double down on the Covid insanity and take it even further than we already have. News coming out of Quebec seems to suggest the government there is easing up on a lot of them, and will do so in the future. Universities, for example, will be in person in September.

Am I right to think that within Quebec, the Covid insanity will be easing up over the next few months, even as in the rest of Canada it grows worse?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi, my Ogham seem to think you are right in your forecast that COVID restrictions will ease up in Quebec. They give me Quert, which is Delight (Apple) well-dignified. Quert also indicates people being allowed to do their own thing/freedom.

Hi Kimberly,

Is it wise to get a rescue cat to live with me in my apartment? I'd like to get one but I'm not sure, in case I move.

Thanks.

[kimberlysteele]

It's not a good idea to rescue a cat right now according to my Ogham. They give me Saille (Willow) ill-dignified.

Hi Kimberly,

I'm searching for a way forward from my present situation. Recently a possible path may have opened up but it looks more rocky than I first expected. What do you think of taking this path? Have any insights on the search I'm undertaking in general? Thank you.

[kimberlysteele]

As for the possible path, my Ogham are saying go with it. They give me Phagos or Teaching well-dignified, which means that the new path will offer lessons you need. For their advice on your search, they give me Beith (Birch) or Beginnings ill-dignified. This indicates one of two imbalances, a dearth or a surplus. A dearth means you don't feel up to the task of a new beginning and that you need more meditation and thought before sending out your energy. A surplus means there are too many new and existing ideas competing for your precious time: limits must be imposed on all except maybe one or two for the good ones to have any potency.

Hi Kimberly,

How will my week go?

Thank you for your time.

Looks like a pretty good week for you.

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham predict it will be a pleasant week for you. They give me three cards, all well-dignified.

For the You position, they give me Tinne or Defense (Eastern Cedar). You will have clear boundaries and you will be ready for what life throws at you this week. That said, when Tinne pops up, it means you might have a reason to need defense, so if you have an amulet, wear it this week and take protective measures.

For the middle Situation position, they give me Muin (Nightshade) or Harvest. Something will come to fruition for you or perhaps someone close to you. The reason I say it could be someone close to you is because it is in the Situation (non-immediate) position. You'll have reason to celebrate. This could also be pointing to the enjoyment of someone's company, a spontaneous excursion/diversion, or a more formal celebration such as a birthday or anniversary.

For the final Karma or Outcome position, they give me Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. You have struck a balance of spiritual, mental, or even physical hygiene that results in robust spiritual, mental, or physical health. That's reason to celebrate for sure!

Hi Good Woman!

What’s up for me this week?

(It’s my 65th birthday on Thursday!)

Re: This week

[mollari]

Happy early birthday!

[lincoln_lynx]

Two unrelated questions:

1. Is the dream I have in mind significant?

2. What would be the result if I pursue the job opportunity I have in mind?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

The dream was significant in the way you thought was significant. They give me Fearn (Alder) which means Bridge. You are being connected so that you may understand the realities that dream gave you symbols for if that makes any sense.

The results of the job opportunity would be hard but good. They give me Huath, which is Obstacles, but it is well-dignified so that means that if you choose the job, it will be extremely trying but the experience will be worth it.

[(Anonymous)]

Hello and thank you for practicing your skills in this manner.

Would you please read for my week ahead?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi and you're welcome. The Ogham give me three cards for you this week.

The first is Ailm or Transcendence. They point to the week being a bit annoying but you being the bigger person and transcending the annoying parts. Ailm (Siberian Elm) means you will take the high road and see the big picture where perhaps others do not.

The second card is the Situation card. They give me Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. As this is in the situation position, this is looking like someone trying to push your buttons or test you. It could also indicate not feeling up to pushing limits.

The final card they give me, the Outcome or Karma, is Duir ill-dignified. Duir is Oak and ill-dignified means you'll be made conscious of your privileges and gifts or receive a gift. The best way to handle this is to accept it gracefully and then pay it forward with an act of generosity.

Thanks as always for doing this!

Last week's reading was pretty accurate I think.

My questions are:

1. I am bad at "listening for replies" and I am unsure if an idea I had to stop bothering Thor comes from me or him. So should I stop bothering him? Or change my prayers in any way? (BTW as a teen I tried "listening for messages"--without ever having addressed any entity, so a different situation--and that was a bad idea.)

2. What (if anything) can I do to help my mom?

3. What's up this week?

I will get to your reading tomorrow

[kimberlysteele]

Ran out of time to do this reading tonight but I'll do it tomorrow... stay tuned!
