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 read between the time I post on Sunday night with a deadline of 10pm Monday night.


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!

 

***************New readings are closed for the week of August 30, but please feel free to comment on existing threads. See you next week!*******************

Hi Kimberly!

What's up for me this week?

Thanks,
Nona

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Nona,

My Ogham predict a rough week for you with a good ending.

For the You card, you drew Ngetal ill-dignified. Ngetal means Hygiene and deals with health and well-being. When it is ill-dignified, take extra precautions, wash your hands frequently, and protect your immunity. Too little Ngetal happens in the form of threats to your health, weakened immunity, or exposure to physical danger. Avoid overdoing it this week and give yourself extra TLC. Too much Ngetal is worry about health manifesting in mysterious ways such as compulsive cleanliness or hypochondria.

For the Middle or Situation card, you drew Gort or Ivy ill-dignified. Gort means Perseverance and when out of balance can mean that you aren't persevering enough -- for instance, not wanting to follow through or be diligent or simply feeling like the wind has been taken out of your sails. Too much Gort is the psychology of previous investment or sunk costs fallacy. Since this is in Situation, it could be referring to someone within your inner circle and not you.

For the Outcome, you drew Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. Factors you cannot control and the whole background of your life are about to get significantly better. As always, you can control the way you react to change but the change itself they are referring to is going to happen regardless of your views on it.

What’s up this week? Whatever I was in danger from last week changed its mind and left me alone.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Lady CK,

This week, my Ogham give you three cards.

For the first card, you drew Quert or Delight well-dignified. Quert means Celebration. This is a good week to stop and smell the roses. A quiet celebration is in order. If you have a relationship with a deity, this is an especially good week to connect with that deity through prayer.

For the middle card or Situation, you got Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. There is a frustrating aspect of your life you will not overcome this week. Ailm points to one of two imbalances. Giving up hope and throwing in the towel, known in modern vernacular as being "black-pilled" is poisonous and tends to leak into other parts of your life. Equally bad is to gloss over negativity with false transcendence, to declare yourself as "over it" when it's not the truth. Being an honest broker and accepting your problem warts and all is the best way of dealing with it.

For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. When it is imbalanced, Huath can be talking about too little force applied to an obstacle: the aforementioned black-pill "I give up" attitude. It's not always a bad strategy to give up, but it's all too tempting to sink into nihilism and numbness. When there is too much Huath force, it is talking about forcing an outcome that wasn't meant to be. The balance is to think carefully about solutions, choose the best one, and think it out thoroughly before acting if this is possible. Sometimes Huath refers to being forced to make an important decision without enough time to think it through.

Hello Kimberly! What do the ogham predict for my week?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

This week, my Ogham give you three cards.

For the first card in the You position, they provide Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. You'll either give good advice or receive it, potentially both. Fearn often indicates guidance from the spirit and/or gods. You will see a way forward that was previously obfuscated.

For the middle card or Situation you drew Eadha or Limits well-dignified. This week, you will be enlightened via a situation that shows you why limits are good. There is a great deal of power in limits. Think of an artist who devotes his entire life to calligraphy instead of bouncing around all sorts of different mediums and art forms: he pours all of his talent into one art form and becomes excellent at it instead of sort of good at sculpture, painting, photography, etc. How can you use the power of limits to be the person you aspire to be?

For the third card or Outcome, you drew Onn or Community ill-dignified. This indicates some potentials on the spectrum of imbalance. Too much Onn means your community is asking too much of you, for instance, co-workers or bosses expecting you to carry a disproportionate amount of responsibility without proper compensation or extended family and friends expecting you to devote every spare moment of your free time to them. Too little Onn means that you feel isolated and out of place, or are perhaps feeling like you need to be on the defense.

Hi Kimberly,
Should I go back to university to study?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

My Ogham say Yes, you should. They give you Gort or Perseverance well-dignified, which is to say that for you it is important and beneficial to be in university.

What do I most need to know about the upcoming Canadian election?

[kimberlysteele]

The Ogham give me Uilleand well-dignified in response to your question. Uilleand means Generosity and refers to the slow process of diligence by which a structure of value is built. Slowly building a movement in positive layers is a better strategy than seeking to tear down one's enemies. It's a martial arts approach. You focus on building your own strength and agility with incessant repetition. If attacked, you do what you can to evade blows, but if forced into a corner by the enemy, you unleash devastation.

What's up for me this week?

[kimberlysteele]

This week looks good for you.

You drew three cards, all well-dignified.

For the first card, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. This means that you will know the value of a secret, and though you may be tempted to blab about it, you won't and it will be helpful to you and others. It's a rare person who can keep a secret, especially in these times of dashboard confessionals and monetized personal agony. If you have a close relationship, this will be a week of harmony for you and that person.


For the Situation position, you drew Tinne or Defense. Tinne might also be referring to someone or a group of someones who are close to you because this is Situation. You are protected on several planes. On the mental plane, protection is knowing exactly what you do and do not know. On the astral plane, protection comes in the form of shaping the imagination towards the divine whenever possible. On the physical plane, protection is more obvious: guarding your health and well-being, and taking safety precautions.

For the Outcome, you drew Ngetal. Ngetal means Hygiene. When it is in balance, it means you are honest about your physical health. Though Ngetal often indicates health, it is not always referring to robust physical health. Ngetal is more of an acceptance of death as a normal part of life and a sensible way of being because of this realization. Keep in mind we live in an era where pretty much everyone is batcrap insane about health matters, so having a balanced view of health is no small matter!

My question is: will I be able to continue with my work/home arrangement through to the spring of next year?

Thank you very much for this.

Misty Friday

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Misty,

My Ogham say No, this will not happen. They give you Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified, meaning your wisdom can and will be taken for granted. If you are able to hang on to the arrangement, it will change radically.

aikido

[(Anonymous)]

Hey Kim-
Thanks as always for doing these. My question is: What does the Ogham have to say about me taking up aikido?

Re: aikido

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham like Aikido for you.

They give me Huath or Obstacles well-dignfied. Huath refers to a singular path that is very focused where there is only one truly correct way. Aikido is the correct way for you according to my Ogham.

Hi Kimberly,

Update on the situation with the covid vaccine mandate from last week: It looks like the college is backing down, and I will be able to finish the electrical program without taking one of the Covid vaccines. So the unfinished business I have in Canada is that I need to finish the electrical program here.

[mollari]

We just received a new email: the college is not backing down, but rather doubling down; not just is everyone required to get vaccinated, everything will be proven using a cellphone app. Yay.

I see five options here: would you mind reading for them?

Financing my studio

[(Anonymous)]

Good day Kimberly!

My question this week is, should I go to my business bank to finance the building of my studio?

Thanks for all you do!

Annette

Re: Financing my studio

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Annette,

My Ogham say Yes, you should seek the loan from your business bank. They give you Saille or Willow. Saille means Flexibility or Sensitivity, which means the business bank will be able to meet your needs and help you adapt. Good luck!

What's up this Week?

[jpc2]

Hi Kimberly,

Well at least one thing good happened today. Got a summons for Jury Duty a couple of weeks ago. Checked today and they don't need me... First time I've been summoned in more than 20 years. At one point I seemed to be called almost yearly. Think I ended up on more than one but only one sticks in my mind.

So what does the rest of the week hold?

John - Coop Janitor

Re: What's up this Week?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi John,

This week you drew three cards.

For the first, you drew Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. This indicates a couple of potentials on the spectrum of imbalance. If you swing towards too much Straif, it may mean that you are feeling worn down or that your failsafes are being taxed. If there is too little, it can be talking about an avoidance of strife that only kicks the can further down the road.

For the Situation, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. Nuin is the autistic's card of connection with the distant world. It often refers to learning something valuable from someone far away, whether that is in space or in time.

For the Outcome, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. This means that you'll either have too much Ailm: false transcendence, "I'm OK, you're OK" when that's not true, or that you won't feel like doing much of anything... end of summer blues. Today was like that for me because it is still very, very hot here and I don't like this weather at all.

Hi Kimberly, how's this week looking? Your last forecast was a clear reflection of things to come, as usual. Thanks!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback!

They give me three cards for your week.

For the first, they give Ioho or Grace well-dignified. You will let go of something you were not meant to have this week. Our civilization has an extremely difficult time with Grace. In order for anything new to arise, the old must die. That's just the way it works. We can either accept death in its various forms or freak out... a great example of this is people who have plastic surgery in an effort to look young. They end up looking weird. That's the price of not letting youth age out and die as it should.

For the Situation, they give Beith or Beginnings ill-dignified. This indicates two potentials on the spectrum of beginnings: either too many of them or beginnings in a bad direction/s or the feeling that your get up and go got up and went. Lack of energy. As this is situation, it could be referring to someone in your inner circle.

For the Outcome, they provide Tinne well-dignified. Your defense is limited to the appropriate. You aren't over- or under-defensive. Nevertheless, this is a good week to pay attention to your physical health and safety and to be on the lookout for astral attackers.

Dear Kimberly,
Could you ask the Ogham two related questions for me?
A) Should i ramp up my herbalism studies (a la Matthew Wood)?
B) Should i ramp up my Kriya yoga practice?

Punky Little Kid

[kimberlysteele]

Hi PLK,

They say neither one this week. They give me Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified for A) and Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified for B). Is there another field of study you need to be practicing or meditating on beside the aforementioned two?

[brendhelm]

Hello--

What do the ogham wish to tell me about the upcoming month?

Thank you.

[kimberlysteele]

This month looks to be a bit of a doozy. All three cards were ill-dignified.

For the You position this month, the Ogham give you Onn or Community. Community refers to people not in your immediate household. It can mean people in your town, family, co-workers, anyone who isn't a total stranger. This month you'll either feel like a square peg in a round hole or the opposite problem, the It Dude, and everybody will want some with not enough of you to go around. Either way, you could end up feeling taken for granted or over-relied upon.

For the middle Situation position, you drew Beith or Beginnings ill-dignified. You'll either have not enough to do or too much. Beith can be talking about frustrated beginnings, stalled starts, or not having the energy to start. The opposite aspect of a Beith imbalance is going in a bad direction or too many at once. Because it is Situation, it could be referring to someone close to you and not you.

For the Karma, you got Phagos ill-dignified. Phagos is Teaching. Your knowledge may not be reaching the right people and places or knowledge may be having a difficult time finding its way to you. I tend to get Phagos ill-dignified when my music students have bad attendance or bad practice, meaning they are not appreciating my expertise enough to regularly show up for music class!

Hi Kimberly!

I'm thinking of taking a trip this weekend but I'm a little nervous about it for some reason. I try to trust my gut but I'm not good at telling my gut from my insecurities sometimes.

Is the trip something I need to avoid?

[kimberlysteele]

Yes, unfortunately they say you should avoid this trip. They provide Koad. Koad means Grove or Confluence and it indicates that there are a bunch of factors conspiring to make this trip a bad idea for you right now. Some of them are in your control but others are totally out of your control.

I don't mean to be nosy, but did you ask JMG a question about this trip on Magic Monday with a request that he delve into your Ogham readings?

[(Anonymous)]

My parents simply will not let my decision to go unvaccinated stand, and are desperately trying to pressure me into taking one of the shots. I have zero intention of doing so, but this is getting very old, very quickly. I am making plans to be able to cut all ties with them, but for now, what would be the consequences of lying to my parents and claiming I got a Covid vaccine?

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham think lying is the best policy. They say the "consequence" of lying is Tinne or Defense well-dignified. This is to say that you can protect yourself from both the shot and from them by not telling the truth.

Hi Kimberly,
Could I get a what's up please?

Last week in the You position I had Duir well-dignified. Midway through the week a friend called up and invited us out to harvest from their garden as they had all they needed! Talk about a gift! I'm not sure about the balance part, but I am very grateful.

I am not sure what Gort ill-dignified in the Situation refers to. It might be a longer term thing than just one week. There are a couple longer term community things that I have some doubts about.

Karma was Muin well-dignified, so perhaps that is the garden bounty I mentioned above! I'm not sure.

Well, I need to get on with canning all this, so I will think more on this later.

Thanks,
BoysMom

[kimberlysteele]

How lovely! Thanks for the feedback.

Gort may mean that you should be pinching pennies because there is a rough financial patch ahead. That's what it usually means for me.

Muin seems to indicate a literal harvest, I agree with you on that.

This looks like a good week for you. All three cards were well-dignified.

For the You position, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. You will be valued for what you offer the community and they will earn your appreciation as well. Onn also refers to harmonious family relationships and strong love.

For the Situation position, you drew Mór or Sea Change. That which you cannot control is about to change for the better. This is a diffuse, overall change that will benefit you and everyone around you.

For the Outcome or Karma, you got Duir or Gifts. This may be referring to what you give, but it could also be talking about what you get. Or both. Either way, generosity sublimates. She who gives with warmness of heart will receive 7x the benefit of her gift. Is your friend planning on giving you more produce? Maybe you're making them a pie? LOL

Hi Kimberly,

My postsecondary institution has just mandated everyone get a Covid vaccine to get on campus. I need access to the campus for the program, and there is no way around it. There is a similar program at another institution in the city where I could get away with avoiding needing to be on campus for the fall semester; what will happen if I try to switch programs?

[kimberlysteele]

They say you'll win. They give Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly,

What do your Ogham have to say about me volunteering with the PPC for the election?

[kimberlysteele]

They say there are better uses of your time. They give Quert or Celebration ill-dignified. Are there other ways you can support the PPC besides volunteering?

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly,

Turns out my perinatologist had taken bad notes, throwing off the appointment I mentioned last week. I'm starting to think I maybe should request a different one as my main doc. This seems like it may agree with last week's reading.

I'm back to ask: What's up this week?

Thanks!

[kimberlysteele]

Yikes. Not good! I have to get to bed early tonight for a super-early appointment tomorrow, so I'll have to do your reading tomorrow if you don't mind.

Seemed like something some of your Speakeasiers (or how does your group refer to themselves :-) ) might get some ideas from:
