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!

 

Hi everyone, readings are concluded for the week of Sept. 13 but feel free to comment on existing threads. See you next week for more Ogham readings!

Wondering what's up this week, with a focus on an upcoming trip to visit some common law in-laws.

– Godozo

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Godozo,

The Ogham give me three cards in reference to your week.

For the You or most immediate position, they provide Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. When Coll is ill-dignified, it means there is good advice you just cannot take, or perhaps bad advice either coming at you or given by you. It's also possible that you will be either taken for granted, taken advantage of, or underutilized as an expert in whatever areas you do best. Definitely watch what you say this week: play it close to the vest, no pearls before swine.

For the Situation position, they give you Oír or Epiphany well-dignified. This card is talking about the in-laws. You will have a realization of how to get around a sticky situation and/or how to get around the idiots, possibly without them even knowing you've done it.

For the Karma or Outcome, you drew Beith or Beginnings ill-dignified. It's very possible that you may feel your get up and go got up and went this week -- meaning not feeling you have the energy to deal with what's on the schedule. Alternately, you could feel prevented from doing what you want this week or feel that there are too many directions at once, and that could be frustrating.

Hi Kimberly
I'm wondering what's up for me this week? It seems promising, but who knows? ;-)
Blessings to you and your family.
- Aaron Y.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Aaron,

This week does indeed look promising for you!

My Ogham give you three cards.

For the You or most immediate position, you drew Gort or Perseverance well-dignified. Your perseverance pays off this week if you remain diligent and steadfast. It's a good week to look at the things you've waited for that have been worth it and those that have not, then to assess what you are currently waiting for and what you anticipate as a result.

For the Situation, they provide Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified. This is to say that this week's outside influences aren't great: they will represent a potential of disruption. One possibility on the spectrum of possibilities is that a false guide or bad guru will pop up in your field of awareness. Another is the danger of solipsism: someone who refuses to listen because they've got a touch of narcissism. It can also mean feeling stuck in a situation and having no choice but to work with the raw deal you've been given.

For the Outcome, the Ogham provide Beith or Intention well-dignified. Beith is a card of beginnings, so they are saying this week is the beginning of something good. The intentions behind what is going on are also good.

What’s up this week?

—Lady Cutekitten

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Lady CK,

This week you drew three cards.

For the You position, you drew Tinne well-dignified. You are as fortified as you can be right now, which is to say that the spot you've carved out for yourself is stable and overall the best option for you. It's a good week to assess defense: physical, psychological, and spiritual.

For the Situation position, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. The Ogham gently warn of an imbalance. One possibility is that you are trying to "harvest" too early, tempted to spend what you don't have based on future projections of success, or perhaps that you're not taking advantage of a genuine opportunity.

For the Outcome, you drew Duir or Gifts ill-dignified, which means either you'll be generous to a fault this week and receive what you gave seven times over in various forms in the future for it, or that you'll be given a nice gift this week. Keep in mind that not all gifts are given on the physical plane.

Hi, thanks for doing this. What are the prospects for romance between me and a person I am curious about?

[kimberlysteele]

You're welcome! The prospects are excellent. They give you Saille or Sensitivity (White willow) well-dignified. This is pretty much the most auspicious card you can draw for romance, it's ruled by Aphrodite. Be flexible but not like Jell-O (don't be a pushover) when you make your approach. In other words, bend like the willow.

Hello Kimberly! Hope you’ve had a good day and will have a great week.

What do the ogham say about my week?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

This week, you drew three cards.

For the You position, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. This means that you have two potentials on the spectrum of imbalance, either an over-reaction or an under-reaction to hygienic concerns. For instance, some people are immaculate in their physical hygiene (work out every day, perfect diet, perfect hair, perfect clothes) and are astral basketcases. Fewer have the opposite problem: physical wrecks but astrally pure as the driven snow. Hygiene is a balance: there is definitely a such thing as over-healthing oneself to death. As a vegan, I have seen people take vegan diets to extremes (ever heard of an oil-free vegan? They're not well in the head) and I have yet to see a diet extremist who is mentally healthy. The opposite issue, not taking care of oneself, often results in more straightforward health problems such as obesity or tooth decay. Watch yourself for extremes this week and try to gently self-correct.

For the Situation position, they give you Eadha or Limits well-dignified. You will draw the right boundaries for yourself this week. It is possible that someone close to you could do the same. It is a good week to look at times in the past when limiting your options worked in your favor and to understand what limiting trends have helped you to thrive this week.

For the Karma or Outcome, you drew Onn or Community. This week, you will have the gift of being able to recognize the niche that best fits you in this incarnation. What types of person do you prefer to work and live with? Are you living and working with those types at the moment? What are you good at doing and/or what do you have an aptitude for? For instance, I have always had a talent for music and almost none for math.

You may consider this to be too redundant of your readings about the fate of the vaxxed and the unvaxxed, but I guess the big thing that's on a lot of our minds right now is how "Joe Biden's" attempt to mandate vaccination for most of the country is going to go down.

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham say Biden's a lame duck and his attempt at forcing everyone to take the vaccine isn't going to work. They provide Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified. Fearn ill-dignified is pretty much THE card for bad gurus.

Not my Ogham saying this but I'll be surprised if Biden is still president by 2022.

[(Anonymous)]

I know that you don't do health readings anymore, so I'll just ask if Brigid or the Oghams have anything to say or that they want me to know about my current situation? Thank you!

--Sister Crow

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Sister Crow,

They're warning you. They provide Muin or Harvest ill-dignified, which is saying things might get crappy or financially thin. On the other hand the other side of the potential imbalance is the notion of a bad harvest, which is worse. I believe the vaccines and the push to get them comes from demons.

What's up this Week?

[jpc2]

Hello Kimberly,

Looking to be a quiet week. What do the Ogham have to say?

John - Coop Janitor

Re: What's up this Week?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi John,

For your week, the Ogham provide three cards.

The first card in the You position is Quert or Delight well-dignified. You'll take the necessary time to enjoy the little moments of life that make it worth living this week. Tiny kindnesses and bits of gratitude add up to a life well-lived. You'll have a genuinely good attitude this week, and that is far more than its own reward.

The second card in the Situation position, which can be affecting someone close to you or you directly, is Phagos or Teaching. You'll gain the benefit of someone's great knowledge (this someone does not necessarily have a corporeal body) and/or they'll gain the benefit of a field in which you have mastery.

For the final or Karmic position, you drew Tinne ill-dignified. Tinne is Defense. If it is ill-dignified, it means that someone may be wishing you harm (sometimes they don't know they're doing it!) or that you are under-defended. Take extra good care of your health this week, drive safely if you do that, and keep an eye out for both your own and other's potential negligence.

[(Anonymous)]

Should I join the Freemasons?

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham give me a clear Yes. They provide Duir or Gifts (Oak) well-dignified. The Freemasons are an auspicious organization for you.

What's up for me this week?
- YCS

[kimberlysteele]

Hi YCS,

This week, my Ogham give you three cards.

For the You position, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. You'll have the opportunity to gain insight as to why generosity begets generosity this week (and why parsimony begets parsimony, perhaps) and it will be presented as a lesson. Generosity, whether it is generosity with money, generosity of character, or some other form, sublimates and becomes more powerful as it travels upward through the planes. That is why when you act with a truly generous spirit, you will be blessed seven times over at least as the effects of your generosity reverberate like a sine wave.

For the Situation position, you drew Ioho or Grace well-dignified. You or someone close to you will handle a situation with divine grace this week. Letting go of that which is not meant for you is a beautiful and sometimes painful act. This card may go hand in hand with the previous one because letting go is often an act of extreme generosity. For instance, when a person gets older, it is very easy to cling to one's youthful good looks, especially in light of how much value our society places upon looking good at any cost. The graceful thing to do is to just accept the wrinkles and the slowing down. The not so graceful option is to get plastic surgery, work out like a fiend, and to obsess over every gray hair. Letting go and just aging is graceful: for everything there is a season.

For your karma or Outcome, you drew Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. This week may feel like somewhat of a s**tstorm. Too much going on at once. It's a good week to assess where you could possibly pare down and minimize, even if that's just a matter of getting rid of some household junk.

Hey, it's the Norse/Egyptian person from last week back again with the follow up. What are the benefits and drawbacks of my taking up the Norse gods on their offer?

If I can ask a second related question (if not, apologies and I'll return next time :)), why do I have such a big block in my head as far as the Norse gods go? If I consider them as a possibility, I'm usually off it again and on to something else within a short time. I can watch this happening, I start trying to focus on Odin (because I have a type and he is it), and then my thoughts shift away to cognates of his in other pantheons. More than any other pantheon I have some interest in, I can come up with a thousand reasons not to pursue it. I can't tell if this is a warning I should pay attention to, or something else (stemming from a lot of bad encounters with the online Heathen community say) that I should disregard and overcome. Can your Ogham tell me anything about this?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

My Ogham say that the benefits of going with the Norse pantheon are avoiding the general trouble that afflicts the world right now. They provide Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified, which is to say that the world around you is going to hell in a hand-basket and the Norse gods are the difference between navigating a stormy sea in a well-built submarine (with them) or on a shoddy wooden raft (without them, or basically what most modern people are doing).

For the drawbacks, my Ogham say not to worry about it. They give you Beith which means Intention or Beginnings. They say that if you begin, it will get a great deal better for you and you'll know it.

For the reason why you're having such a block, it's karma according to my Ogham. You've got some issue from a past life that is trying to resolve where the Norse pantheon is concerned. They give Ailm or Transcendence, which is to say that you must learn to transcend the block. You're going to have to cultivate your sense of humor on this one, not be as serious and learn to laugh at yourself. For instance, I often inflict painful Dad jokes on the forces and gods I work with. They're absolutely awful... per example "I tried living in the now but I couldn't make it last"... luckily I have yet to be struck down. As far as the community, remember it's your relationship with the gods, not theirs. What's right for you may not be right for them and vice a versa.

Anxiety

[(Anonymous)]

All these mandates and the rest of the nonsense is giving me lots of anxiety and anger.

Can the cards give me guidance to any practices to ease my mind? This is getting to me!

Annette

Re: Anxiety

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Annette,

Me too. I am very lucky I chose to collapse as much as possible years ago, otherwise I'd be staring down the metaphorical barrel at the moment.

Do you do the Sphere of Protection? I find it is very useful in alleviating anxiety and anger. If you can't do it because of children, I suggest getting out to do the tree-energy exchange 3 or more times a week.

My Ogham give you three cards as advice.

For the You position, they give Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. You are frustrated because your knowledge and expertise is being abused, taken advantage of, or not used at all. Many people find themselves in the same predicament. I forwarded a video of California nurses who are being forced to vax to my mom, who only watches mainstream media. I wanted her to see that good people who are passionately dedicated to nursing are being forced out of their careers. https://www.bitchute.com/video/gCLduw23Fi8H/

For the Situation position, they provide Quert or Delight ill-dignified. You are feeling the pinch and the comforts of life are being stripped away. This also robs you of the ability to live in the moment and to appreciate life because you are so worried about the future. As a remedy, I suggest doing what a Stoic would do and carefully consider three different possibilities and courses of action: what do you do in the worst case scenario, what do you do in the best case scenario, and what do you do if things generally stay the same?

For the Karma position, you drew Ioho or Grace well-dignified. The Ogham say the best way to handle this is to let go of the things that aren't meant for you. This can be anything from material stuff to the love of stability. When you find yourself getting angry at the people who have caused this and benefitted from it, change gears and focus on what you are grateful for, building something new and good, and on sending blessing energy to people you cherish.

Will I lose my job over my decision to not take the experimental gene therapy?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

Unfortunately my Ogham say Yes. They provide Ruis or Regret well-dignified. This is a good card though because they are saying you are dodging a major bullet.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly! Thank you so much for doing this.

Is the person I suspect cursing me?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

My Ogham say they are not. They provide Eadha or Limits, and it is ill-dignified. Maybe they want to curse you but they can't succeed because they don't have the power and you're protected. That means whatever they fling at you, consciously or unconsciously, will blow back on them almost immediately. You'll know if they've been cursing at you by the amount and nature of destruction and chaos in their life over the next few weeks.

[(Anonymous)]

Foolishly, I left a request for a reading on an old post, instead of a new one. It was the one about joining a religious organization. If you see it, I would appreciate it if you could still do a reading about it. If not, I quite understand!

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham provide Straif or Resilience ill-dignified in response. They seem to think the religious organization not the right fit for you. The religion itself might be fine. Are there any other options?

[tamanous2020]

Hi there Kim, thanks for the reads!

Q- What should I be focused on for the next 60 days?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Tamanous,

My Ogham say you should be focused on avoiding imbalance for the next 60 days. They give you three cards, all ill-dignified. Keep in mind that this is nowhere near as dire as it sounds (maybe it is with Tarot, not so much with Ogham) and that I've had some of my best days, weeks, and months ever with ill-dignified readings. It's a matter of them trying to warn you about what could go wrong so you can preemptively avoid it.

For the You position, over the next 60 days you need to be concerned with your own protection. They give you Luis or Protection. There will be two instincts that seem like they come from opposite sides but are really the same side. The instinct will be to over-prepare or to go nuts with defense. Being overly vigilant about protection translates to not being able to enjoy life; it's a form of astral constipation. Protection could mean physical prepping but since it is the You position, it may be referring to your psychological defenses. In the physical realm, being over-prepared can hurt. I like JMG's example stories of the ancient Roman equivalent of doomstead preppers -- they end badly. There is usually evidence they were rounded up and violently murdered in their domiciles along with their children. It is self evident they were raided for their gold and killed by brigands. The moral of the story is that hoarding any valuable during a time of crisis isn't a good idea. Better to know and network with your neighbors and don't broadcast or show off what you own.

For the Situation position, you drew Onn. Onn means community and can refer to work or any group of people you know as mostly acquaintances, such as distant family members you've only met once or twice. The community isn't happy in your situation this month. As it is situation, this is most likely not even one iota your fault. The community will make it difficult to get along. I'd suggest wearing an amulet of protection (hidden) to shield yourself from the negative energy.

For the Karma or Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. Contemplate your decisions carefully and go in fully informed for the next 60 days. It will be easy to get a bad "harvest" meaning, a banquet of bad consequences, from making the wrong choice. That said, you might feel the temptation of premature harvest, which in my case can often take the form of spending money before it's made or just generally not being organized and ready when I do make a decision.

Hi Kimberly,

I'm another Canadian, currently stressing over the insanity our government is pushing. I am an American by descent, and have never pursued it, but recently thought of it as a way to escape the madness here. Joe Biden's speech caught me off guard, and makes me question the wisdom of my plan, but I think things will get worse here. At least in the US some of your politicians are standing up to this; while all of ours seem to think it a good idea.

My question is what will happen if as soon as I get my American citizenship I leave Canada and move to the area in the US I am currently looking at?

[kimberlysteele]

It looks good. They give you Straif or Resilience well-dignified. That means your move will be the absolute best thing you can do for the long haul. It will be hard to do but the move will pay off in dividends.

As for President Potato's babblings, all it has done is make him more hated than ever. I saw a dramatic uptick of people joining my Speakeasy Illinois group after that vile little screed of his. We are now up to 4,500 people. That means about 200 people joined this week. Here in the US, there is newfound energy to build the alternative economy:

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly, how are things looking this week? Thanks!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

This week you drew three cards.

For the You position, you drew Beith or Intention well-dignified. This means you'll have a decent amount of energy and a good sense of what to do and not to do this week (what NOT to do is often more important than the first one!). You'll have clear vision and you'll be able to shine your light for those who need it.

For the Situation, you drew Straif or Resilience/Strife ill-dignified. The situation is crappy and you don't feel prepared. Additionally, this situation may involve someone close to you. Maybe you are feeling brittle and overloaded. Or you might feel scared. Or both. It's a good week to summon up your inner Stoic and face life's storms with grace and coolness no matter what happens.

For the Outcome, you drew Community well-dignified. If you reach out, you will find help from like-minded people who want to help you this week. Don't be shy about getting your name around and take help if it is offered.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly,

A week ago I learned that my cervix has prematurely shortened since it was checked 2 weeks ago, so the "something trying to wrap up before its due time" in the reading 2 weeks ago may have been confirmed. (Tomorrow I'll learn if it's shortened more.) I also switched from the doctor who'd taken bad notes to one I'd seen before and liked. This was the first time I've ever done that. The reading boded well for my judgement in this, but I won't know if that was really the right decision till I see him again.

So here I am to ask again: What's up this week? Thanks!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback! I hope it all turns out OK.

For your week, the Ogham provide three cards.

For the You position, you drew Oír or Epiphany. You are in a time of strategy -- the strategy of going around fools who don't know what they do or what they are doing. Oír is also a card of truths being revealed: this could be a truth you are facing about yourself that will help you to be a better person in the future.

For the Situation, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. This means you are well-settled into a niche. You are at peace with your role in this incarnation and you are in touch with the lessons you are supposed to learn at this time.

For the Outcome, you drew Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. This could be two possibilities on the spectrum of imbalance: not feeling recognized enough by the rest of humanity or feeling too exposed to fame and notoriety. Nuin imbalanced can also be talking about too much or too little electronic media. There are two sides to this coin. One is the Luddite approach where the kids don't know what TikTok is and everyone ends up being hopelessly naive and easily hoodwinked as they inevitably grow up -- my husband was raised in a Christian fundamentalist household and he was damaged in this way. The second imbalance is too much electronic media, where the kid doesn't know how to play outside because the kids on TikTok didn't show him how!

[lp9]

Am I on the right track with my job search, given the parameters from my most recent divinations?

Thanks!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

They say no. They give you Luis or Protection ill-dignified, which is saying that the jobs you are looking for will not offer any lasting security and/or it will be an uphill battle to get a decent job.

[(Anonymous)]

What does Ogham say i can look forward to this week?

PLK

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Punky,

My Ogham give you three cards this week.

In the You position, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. This is a gentle warning neither to try to force an outcome you desire nor to shrink away from an onerous task that needs doing this week.

For the Situation card, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. This is a gentle warning not to have excessive faith in that which you know -- it's better to admit that you're not an expert than to get roped into a situation where you must prove you have expertise you've not yet attained. Alternately, there's a possibility you will know a subject and be afraid to speak your mind for fear of appearing pompous. Since this is situation, each one of these factors could be someone who is coming at you with the same imbalances.

For the Outcome, you drew Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. Factors over which you have no control will improve this week. It's a good opportunity to try and get a bird's eye view of exactly how much of it is in your control and how much is in the hands of fate.

General stuff

[(Anonymous)]

How are things going with me? Anything actually good on my horizon?

What do you see of the broken guy…. is he really shaking up his career? If yes, I’ll probably never run into him again…. that’s sad, but a good thing for me!

Re: General stuff

[kimberlysteele]

Hi there,

You drew three cards this week:

For the You position, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. You are handling what is thrown your way with the proper amount of flexibility and preparation this week. You're not getting excited over what's not going your way, but you're also not just blowing it off and hoping it will disappear. This is a good balance.

For the Situation, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. A situation will put you or someone very close to you in dire straits by either pushing beyond your limits or forcing you/them into a corner. Unfortunately, both of these extremes can happen at once.

For the Outcome, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. This means that you'll face what you are given this week with humor and though you'll be tempted to take the low road, you'll opt to be the bigger person. As a result, you'll be gifted with a clarity you would not otherwise have possessed.

[(Anonymous)]

The presence of Fearn ill-dignified in response to the Biden question made me go back to your reading on "Fate of the Unvaxxed" to review the possible meaning of that card in the middle-bottom position. Fearn ill-dignified in my question and the readings about the vaxxed and unvaxxed all refer to the same thing, IMHO: The one-size-for-all solution that seventy-five percent of those eligible for it is failing catastrophically and has resulted in a "burned bridge", or no going back to the way things were before. If this reality is affecting 75% of everybody 12 and older, of course it will also affect the other 25%. That's exactly why the unvaxxed will have to roll up their sleeves and be the "tough who get going" (Straif well-dignified in the bottom-left position) and help deal with the consequences of the mess. In order to have the motivation to do that, the unvaxxed will have to reach deep down into their Buddha-natures (Duir ill-dignified in the bottom-right position) and manifest "Chrisitan love". The ill-dignity spells out what a challenge it will be for the unvaxxed to overcome the ego-temptation to tell the rest of society, "You made your bed, now lie in it" after the way the self-righteous vaxxed treated them.

Dear Kimberly,
I've come upon the idea that there is something I'm meant to do and I can't move forward until its accomplished. I feel like its something older than me. Maybe something ancestral or from a past life? I hope you can clarify.

Re: Aaaeoseen

[kimberlysteele]

Can you post this on the upcoming Sept. 19 Ogham readings? It will be up shortly.
