Date: 2021-04-12 07:43 am (UTC)The role of writing in Duir, Gifts
Date: 2021-04-12 12:24 pm (UTC)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!
What' up?
Date: 2021-04-12 04:52 pm (UTC)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 :-) )
Reaching out to a friend... or not.
Date: 2021-04-12 05:14 pm (UTC)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

Date: 2021-04-12 07:31 pm (UTC)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?

Thanks.

Date: 2021-04-12 11:01 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2021-04-13 12:48 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2021-04-13 12:56 am (UTC)They gave me Oir or Epiphany for the You card, which means that you'll have a big realization this week. Oir often means going around stupid people in a quiet way so they cannot sabotage your plans, and I think it is especially relevant to your situation.
For the middle card, the Situation, they gave me Ailm or Elm well-dignified. This means Transcendence. You will be able to transcend all you are challenged with this week. Ailm indicates taking the high road.
For the Outcome, they gave me Koad. Koad is a combination of factors or a Grove that also represents karmic culmination because of the position it is in. From what I can tell, this sudden and deliberate move is part of your karma being resolved. It could be from past lives.
Re: Kabbalah
Date: 2021-04-13 12:58 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2021-04-13 01:04 am (UTC)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.

Re: This week
Date: 2021-04-13 02:00 am (UTC)Re: What' up?
Date: 2021-04-13 02:00 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2021-04-13 02:01 am (UTC)Re: Reaching out to a friend... or not.
Date: 2021-04-13 02:25 am (UTC)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.
