kimberlysteeleSubmit 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 8pm 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!

Date: 2021-10-04 02:29 pm (UTC)Not sure if my previous request made it through the dreamwidth posting system a few minutes ago (I got an error message), so apologies if this is a duplicate.
Thank you for doing the readings, and all your writings (here and at JMG’s comment threads).

Herbalism Course?
Date: 2021-10-04 05:00 pm (UTC)Would it be a good use of my time and money to take Rosemary Gladstar’s beginner herbalism course?
Thanks!

Date: 2021-10-04 05:09 pm (UTC)In light of this, I wonder if the reason the Norse gods were going to be faster was just because a Heathen version of the LBRP existed that I could just pick up and use. No need to plug in names with the polytheist version, something I would've taken my sweet time with.
At this point, I'm still doing the banishing ritual with the Norse names, but focusing my religious devotion to the Greeks. My question for this week is, where do I go from here?
And thank you for the previous readings. They were very helpful, if in an unexpected way. :)

Date: 2021-10-04 09:08 pm (UTC)choosing a path
Date: 2021-10-04 10:00 pm (UTC)So I have been looking into taking up some sort of religious and magical path, but I find myself flailing about trying to decide and just not knowing what to do.
I've never been an atheist, but always an agnostic, if you know what I mean. My reaction to most things religious and magical is "could be true, might not be, how can you know, unless you have some data?" I think the only religious convictions I've ever had are that one, reincarnation is real, and two, televangelists are evil. I've also collected enough "data" over the years - premonitions, knowing some fact I couldn't have known through rational channels, etc. - that I know there is SOMETHING more to the world.
That said, I don't know how to focus my interest. Should I pursue one of JMG's options - the CGD path, the regular GD path, the DMH path - or something else?
So that's a VERY long way of saying, can the Ogham give me some advice?
I'm not sure how to phrase the question, though. "What path is right for me" seems like it could be too vague. Maybe "what should I consider in choosing a path" or "how do I choose a parth?" might work better?
Any help you and the Ogham can give me will be much appreciated. I have tried praying, and while I get a sense that some of the gods may be listening, I still don't know how to structure my spiritual pursuits.
Also...I admit that in my usual "open-minded skeptic" way, I tested your readings by submitting a question about my week last Monday, to see if the reading proved accurate, and it did. So I'm back this week with a more important query. (I hope you won't take offense - I just have a strong "I'll believe it when I see it" streak in me - but if I do see it, I'm not afraid to believe it ;)

Date: 2021-10-05 12:45 am (UTC)My Ogham surprised me with this one. They say No, you shouldn't go the podcast route. They provide Koad or Grove ill-dignified. I take this to mean there is an unfinished project that you must complete and/or more meditation to be done on the podcast's intention before you go ahead. Definitely ask again in a few weeks.

Date: 2021-10-05 12:56 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards. All were well-dignified. This indicates you'll have a pretty good week according to my Ogham.
For the You or most immediate position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence. Ailm means you'll be presented with a challenge and you will take the high road. You will maintain a crucial sense of humor and you'll be able to overcome an obstacle because of it.
For the middle or Situation position, you drew Straif or Strife well-dignified. You or someone close to you will be resilient in the face of hardship. Resilience is at least 90% attitude. For instance, there are extreme doomsday preppers with luxurious underground bunkers stocked with floor to ceiling MREs and a ancient dragon's treasure-worth of gold bricks who aren't at all resilient because their doomstead bunkers are actually just another form of compulsive hoarding. They are actually quite fragile psychologically. You'll have a more realistic, pragmatic outlook.
For the outcome you drew Uilleand or Generosity. For your acts of generosity, both this week and the ones you've put out there in the past, you will receive a sevenfold reward. Part of this reward will come this week. Keep in mind the rewards of generosity are not in any sense limited to money or physical possessions.

Date: 2021-10-05 01:02 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You card, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. This means you'll have trouble with your own limits this week and you may be frustrated by having too many of them (money and the perception of wealth is usually a big limiter) or you won't limit yourself enough in some respect.
For the middle or Situation position, you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. Saille or Willow is a card I have attributed to Aphrodite. If this is balanced, it is a strong indication that you'll have a harmonious home life this week and you'll have at least a little time for doing pleasant activities.
For the Outcome or Karma, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. It will be tempting this week to spill a secret. The opposite possibility of imbalance is that you'll clam up when your voice is most needed. By drawing this card, there's a good chance of avoiding an imbalance/error when the time comes, especially since Saille is well-dignified (balanced) and your senses will be tuned just right where human relationships are concerned.

Date: 2021-10-05 01:19 am (UTC)I thought I was coming here "early" because I didn't know the deadline had been moved up. It's 18 minutes past the new deadline so I understand if you can't answer this week, but I'd been going to ask, what's up this week? Either way thanks for reading!

Date: 2021-10-05 01:21 am (UTC)For the You position, they give Straif or Strife. This is my Ogham saying you are resilient and you will come through fine on the other side of this. The best thing you can do is to prepare and share -- meaning, be generous to your neighbors and help them if they are in need because their preparations weren't enough. The more people work together and bond through this, the weaker the Dim Sum Dan and his flunkeys will become both now and in the future.
For the Situation position, they give you Ailm or Transcendence. This is their way of assuring you that it is going to be fine. Take the high road, resist the temptation to throw the oppressor's hate back at him. It's fine to hate the people doing this: they're detestable. They richly deserve what I believe is coming their way. Be accepting of the hatred within you but refuse to act on it. Leave vengeance to the gods. Meanwhile, focus your love and strength on yourself and the people who are on our side... we need it!
For the Outcome, they give Beith or Beginnings. You are going to be given the opportunity to build works of good out of the ashes when the mayhem inevitably collapses. As much as Melbourne's leaders SUCK and as bad as it is getting right now, unfortunately the Ogham are saying this has been in the cards since Australia's founding as a prison colony or possibly before that time. As hard as it is going to be, they are saying that you should look at this whole mess as an opportunity to build something new when the rubble stops bouncing.

Date: 2021-10-05 01:37 am (UTC)I hope I can offer you some insights then if not comfort. I have been there. My Ogham give you three cards. They agree with your "lost" sentiment. All three cards were ill-dignified/out of balance.
For the first card, they provide Straif or Strife. The problem right now is either you feel completely unprepared to deal with what life is throwing at you and/or you feel you made the wrong preparations by mistake. Now you have no choice but to improvise and work with what you've got. This is a great time to meditate (discursive meditation as I talk about here) about the Stoics, especially Epictetus who was literally a slave and had some fairly horrible things happen to him. You cannot control what happens to you most of the time but you can control the way you react.
For the middle Situation card, they provide Saille or Sensitivity. This means that you are suddenly presented with choices of what to do with the rest of your life and you had better choose carefully. So many of us spend entire lifetimes doing what we don't love and essentially or literally marrying it/them. Now is the time to be brutally honest with yourself and chop away not only what you don't love, but what you don't like because spending time doing stuff you can just kind of tolerate adds up to a sucky life. For instance, I don't really like dogs all that much. Dogs are often cute, smart, and sweet, but my feelings towards them are lukewarm at best. So that's why I'll most likely never have a dog in this incarnation. Cats, on the other hand...
For the Outcome, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. Since it too was ill-dignified, you'll have to address your own perception of wealth. There are people who live in shacks made of garbage who are technically the wealthiest of all because they are happy and they have their loved ones around them. Gratitude is a language of its own that our civilization has largely forgotten. Nobody had ingrate syndrome worse than me in my younger years. Keep in mind that every thought and act of genuine gratitude returns to you (at least) seven times and likely in seven different forms. So be generous, not just with money, but take the lessons of Saille and funnel your generosity towards what you love the most about this world.
