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 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!

What’s up this week?

Oops! I forgot to mention, I have a specific problem that’s popped up this week. Do the Oghams think it will turn out to be a serious problem, or not?

—Lady Cutekitten

P.S. If you are wondering why I am asking questions at this hour, it’s because I had to visit the meditation room. 😊

Hi Lady CK,

This week you drew three cards.

For the You position, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. This means that you'll receive good advice or guidance this week and that you should actively look for it, both from other people and from non-corporeal beings such as your own Holy Guardian Angel. There is also the possibility that it is your advice and/or mentorship that could help someone, and this will generate good karma.

For the Middle or Situation, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. Quert can signify feeling depressed or grumpy. It can also be a signal from your higher self to cultivate more gratitude. Since it is situation, this means there could be a depressing situation and that it could be happening to you or someone close to you.

For the Outcome, you drew Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. There will be two possibilities of extreme: wanting publicity and not knowing how to get it (not enough Nuin) or feeling forced into extroversion when you are simply not in the mood. If it's the former, you might try adding a social event to your schedule this week. If it is the latter, you might try removing an event from the calendar/plan to skip it.

What to do?

[(Anonymous)]

Hello Kimberly,

So my situation is that I currently have a job, I don't like it very much but it's been consistent throughout the corona event. However, I'm thinking that at some point I will find myself unemployed due to vax mandates. The other thing is that it keeps me stuck in the city, something that I don't think will be ideal for my family as things begin to unravel more. I want to figure out some type of self employment that I can make money at and that will allow me to be more mobile in terms of where I live. I have a number of talents amd skills, but I get completely stumped when it comes to what to do. I'm not sure if this is within the scope of your readings but any insight you could provide in terms of what direction to move in or how I could figure this out would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Re: What to do?

Hi,

My Ogham have some advice for you. They provide three cards for your reading. All were well-dignified/balanced.

In the You position, you got Straif or Strife. Strife is the pathway to Resilience, and they are saying the number one thing you can do to brace for impact is to collapse as much as possible ahead of time (collapse now and avoid the rush). My husband and I did not collapse out of choice 10 years ago when his salary class job went away because the company went under. He was unemployed for three years and I was the breadwinner. It was hell. It sounds like you're smarter than he was at the time -- he chased salary class positions and got severely depressed and ended up driving a cab when the benefits finally dried up. If you know the salary class is a poisonous game of musical chairs, then you're already better off than most people who are trapped in way of life. As much as it is going to suck, you need to get your family on the same page. It's breathtakingly easy to go from a spendthrift salary class life to homelessness. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure: cutting back now on salary class perks such as vacations, beauty treatments/haircuts, dining out, and highly processed packaged foods may end up saving everything and making everyone happier.

For the Situation position, and this one I am taking as a sign as to what you should do where career is concerned, you got Ioho or Grace. This is where it gets interesting. Of course I'm going out on a limb here, but what is your general attitude towards death and dying? They are saying that your best direction will be in helping people to let go and to deal with death. The various forms are too many to list, however, these occupations come to mind: funeral assistant, death doula, vintage furniture restoration, grief counseling, estate clean-outs.

For the Outcome, they give you Ngetal or Hygiene, which may be referring to your avoidance of the demonic vaccine. I believe you are wise to avoid it and will be rewarded for your wisdom. The poorest people in the world are the ones who do not have their health regardless of the big numbers present in their bank accounts. You are also setting a good example for your family by refusing to capitulate to tyrants. Hygiene originates for the spiritual plane. You can invoke it by practicing gratitude for the "little" things such as potable water and a roof overhead and it will sublimate seven times (at least) rewarding you with new opportunities and possibly better finances.

There are a lot of great freelance opportunities available on Upwork. I have freelance writing clients all over the world, and none of them have ever asked me whether or not I got the COVID-19 vaccine. Writing about expertise on a specific topic may be easier to sell than writing in general -- like a food writer, or a death writer, might do better than just a writer. They also have opportunities in administrative tasks/virtual assistant work, advanced computer/Internet skills, and more. https://www.upwork.com/freelance-jobs/

Preparedness

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly,

Husband and I have been slowly organizing and adding to our pantry and coming up with ideas about what other preparedness leaks need plugging in advance of further virus craziness.

Are we about where we need to be in this? If not, any hints about what we have overlooked?

Thanks!

Valerie

Re: Preparedness

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Valerie,

My Ogham say you've done a great job preparing. They give you Oír in reference to your prepping. Oír means Epiphany and shows you doing a brilliant job of surviving and thriving because of the way you've prepared. You guys should be fine.

As for what you've overlooked, they give Koad or Grove. They say you're not seeing "the forest for the trees". Koad means Confluence or many things coming together, some of which you can control and other things over which you have zero control. They are saying you need to take a Stoic approach towards that which you cannot control -- don't just envision worst case scenarios. Envision best-case scenarios and everything in-between, and resolve to act with grace no matter what happens.

Hi Kimberly! What does this week have in store for me?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

Looks like a pretty good week for you. All three cards were well-dignified.

For the You card, you drew Mór or Sea Change. This indicates that factors over which you have almost no control over and your general milieu will improve. You can build upon this wealth by being grateful for it and letting it spill over to everyone around you.

For the Situation card, you drew Quert or Delight. You have learned the important lesson of taking delight in the simple and small things others take for granted. This will give you and those close to you unseen protection this week. If you keep the same down-to-earth, humble yet grateful attitude, you can expect more good luck to follow.

For the Outcome, you drew Eadha or Limits. You are doing a good job working within your own limits and for this again you will be rewarded. You are understanding that you cannot do it all, nor should you want to do it all. You are accepting with grace what you cannot influence or change and you are steadfast in the places where you can and should make changes.

Hi Kimberey,

I was going to start with „I‘m completely new to this, so apologies if my question doesn‘t make any sense in this context“ - but then I saw that somebody else posted a question along similar lines, so… here we go. ;-)

We‘re doing our best to get prepared for what‘s coming up, but there is so much to do, and (alas ;-) ) there are limits on time and money.

Doing everything at once (from building up a food supply to expanding the garden to shopping and storing other essentials to learning important skills to doing some much-necessary building work on the house to …) is simply not feasible.

So we do one step at a time, but I‘m never quite sure if we prioritise the most important things.

Can the runes tell me which areas or things are the top/first priority for our particular situation, i.e. what should we focus on first/get in order first?

Thanks,

Milkyway

Argh - and I mistyped your name. Apologies. I‘m going to blame the autocorrect, that‘s always a good culprit, isn‘t it? :D

Hi Kim

A family member has night terrors. I was thinking of secreting a geometric pattern at the back of the bed's headboard or nearby. What would be the result according to the ogham? Thanks

[kimberlysteele]

Don't do it. My Ogham give you Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified and that means it is a bad idea, wholesale. Basically you would be doing magic on them without their permission as you would intend for their night terrors to stop. You really need to tell them what you think is going on, then ask them first and only put up a bedside geometric if you get their express permission.

[(Anonymous)]

Hello Kimberly!

What is the most important thing I should focus on right now and this week? Is there something I'm not seeing?

Regards

D

[kimberlysteele]

Hi D,

The number one thing my Ogham recommend you focus on this week is Defense. They give you Tinne, which means Defense and in my Ogham is symbolized by the prickly Eastern Cedar. You seem to be perceiving threats just fine, as they say "No, D is not missing anything", however, pulling the Defense card means you'll need to be vigilant about your safety both on the physical and non-physical planes. Wear a red bag amulet, take care of your health and safety, keep up with protection rituals if you do magic, and pray to the gods for extra defense this week.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly,

I work freelance and part-time, for multiple employers.

I am considering - well more like planning on - quitting one of the jobs. They have implemented oppressive covid policies, requiring proof of vaccination or negative test, plus masks, on site. I work mostly remotely, and when on-site, the negative test is allowed in lieu of vaccination, so the policies are not overly burdensome to me personally at present.

Needless to say, though, I don't want to continue working for them. But there are other factors, like wanting to keep the paycheck while I work on lining up new income, and also not wanting to piss them off by quitting abruptly, as it could hurt my reputation and ability to get future work in the field.

So my questions is,

Should I quit, and more importantly, how soon should I quit? ASAP and consequences be damned? Aim to be out by end of year? Some other time frame?

Thank you,

J.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi J.

My Ogham say you should quit sometime between now and the end of the year.

For quitting now, they give Nuin or Communication well-dignified, which is to say your reputation would only suffer minimally, meaning your ability to be hired in your field would not be severely impeded.

For quitting at the end of the year, it's an even better outcome. They give you Perseverance or Gort, which means that if you plan it right, you'll make out fairly well and your long-term strategy will benefit.

As far as some other time frame, they give you Eadha or Limits ill-dignified, which is their way of saying "Nah". The company is determined to push the envelope with their mask theater and MRNA intervention schedules. Looks like they will be slow learners as to the vaccine's adverse effects. I think there are going to be quite a few of those before this whole thing is over.

Practitioner

[(Anonymous)]

Is the practitioner I’m thinking of consulting the right choice for me?

Annette

Re: Practitioner

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Annette,

My Ogham say Yes, this person is the right choice. You got Nuin or Communication well-dignified, which is to say this person attracts benevolent strangers and/or has a well-earned good reputation.

[ivn66]

Hey Kimberly. Thanks for doing these, my last two weekly readings have been helpful. Back again to see what’s up for me this week.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Ivn66,

This week you drew three cards.

For the first in the You position, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. You have the problem of a couple of types of imbalance. Either you will persevere too much in a matter, pushing past limits when you should stay in your lane or pouring too much into a failing behavior because of the psychology of previous investment or you will feel worn down and you will want to give up when you should not. Either way, get the perspective of a wise outsider and pray on it.

For the middle or Situation position, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. There will be the temptation to go in too many directions and end up scattered or doing something you don't love as a result or there could be a tendency to be insensitive. Because this is in the Situation position, it could be referencing someone close to you being boorish or obtuse. Or it could be you.

For the Outcome or Karma, you got Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. Through diligence and steadfast effort, you will come out on top this week despite the aforementioned ill-dignified You and Situation cards. Keeping a cool head and taking the high road will get you there.

[ivn66]

Also, if I may ask a second question, I’d like to know what your Ogham has to say about the current situation between myself and E.V.M.A., and what the course of action best for what’s between us would be going forward. If you’d rather keep it one question per person per week, no problem, I’ll come back and ask later on.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

For the situation between you and E.V.M.A., they provide Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. This is to say that your secrets are safe. There is baseline integrity to work with.

For the best action going forward, they give you Ioho or Grace well-dignified. The best thing is to let go of what you were not meant to have and to do it with dignity and honesty.

[(Anonymous)]

I have two questions this week.

Should I take out a signature loan with my credit union to pay off my credit card debt?

Am I on the right track to create a more harmonious home life?

Thank you,


MF

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

My Ogham say Yes, you should take the loan. They give Duir (Oak) or Gifts, meaning it is a good way out of the debt.

For your home life, they provide Oír or Epiphany well-dignified. This is to say the Ogham say you are on track towards a harmonious home life with your current approach, which involves going around the drama and foolishness that plagues our era.

[andrewskeen]

Afternoon Kimberly,

I'd like a general reading, if you would be so kind.

Best,
Andrew

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Andrew,

This week you drew three cards.

For the You position, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified, which means you will have harmonious relationships with the people who you are closest to in this world and that you will do a good job keeping the secrets that need to be kept and not giving away too much information to those who wouldn't know what to do with it or who would quickly use it against you.

For the Situation, you drew Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. There are some chinks in your armor that you may have overlooked -- either you are over-prepared and acting a bit paranoid or you aren't prepared in the ways you should be. This can also apply to someone close to you.

For the Outcome or Karma, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. This ties in with the previous card. I would be aware of your defenses and what defense means both in terms of psychology and material world measures. Being over-defended is often one and the same as being under-defended: for instance, the doomsteader who strands himself and his family on the outskirts of civilization ends up with lonely, depressed family members. He also unwittingly opens himself to the horrible possibility of modern-day brigands finding the doomstead and raiding it of all its gold and guns, then torching the doomstead with its residents locked inside their saferoom. On a less dramatic level, the parent who moves his family to the "safe" suburbs soon realizes his kids are being preyed upon just as they were in the city, just by a different set of bad people and influences.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly, could I get a reading for this week? Thanks.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

It looks like a pretty good week for you.

You got Ailm or Transcendence in the You position, which indicates that though trouble may come your way, you will choose to take the high road and you'll keep a level and cool head even if others do not.

For the Situation, you got Nuin or Communication well-dignified, which indicates that you'll have a harmonious influence on the world of strangers or that good new will come to you from strangers.

For the Outcome, you got Gort or Perseverance well-dignified, which indicates steadfastness in the matters dearest to your heart and continuing good influence both from and going to the people you love. It would be wise to look at the goals you are persevering towards this week and what you've done to get nearer to them as well as what streaks of luck you've had on the path.

What’s up this month

[(Anonymous)]

New month…. hopefully better. How do things look for me? I don’t know what hurts more, me physically or emotionally! I catch little sparks of hope here and there, but they fade almost as quickly as they appear!

Re: What’s up this month

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

My Ogham predict a better month for you.

For the You position, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. This means that you will have reason to celebrate as something good you did in the past comes to fruition.

For the Situation, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. Phagos is a tree letter of mental plane mastery and the sharing of expertise. This indicates that you will have the opportunity to teach, to be taught, or both.

For the Outcome, you drew Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. Uilleand is a tree letter of perception. They are saying you have karmic issues with the concept of abundance and you need to start examining and working through those issues.

What's up this Week?

[jpc2]

Hi Kimberly,

So what does this week have in store for me?

John - Coop Janitor

Re: What's up this Week?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi John,

This week you drew three cards.

For the You position, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. This indicates an imbalance in a couple of possible directions: too much Tinne or too much Defense means you're being a little paranoid and perhaps overdoing your reaction. Too little Tinne is the opposite, and it means you are vulnerable.

For the Situation position, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. This means that you are either not letting go of enough or you're letting too much go and rolling over passively when you should stand and fight.

For the Outcome or Karma, you drew Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. This bodes well and says that even though you may lose some battles you will win the war. What this "win" entails, I have no idea. The Ogham are strange as to what they see as winning.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly,
I'm working on a huge (art) project.
Will it provide me with what I hope it will provide me with?
Thank you.

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham say No, it will not. They give you Beith or Intention ill-dignified. If I may, as an artist myself, I've always had my best results when I did art for art's sake, and only because I wanted to leave some beauty in an ugly world.

[(Anonymous)]

I remembered too late to request a reading this week, but here's my report on last week's (Beith well-dignified, Ioho ill-dignified, Huath well-dignified):

I interpreted Ioho ill-dignified to mean that I was giving in too easily on my high-risk OB's pressure to get my other doctors to sign off on his plan for what to do if I need an emergency C-section ("what we always do, even though the other 2 doctors disagree"). I had an appointment already scheduled with one of them last week, so I put in extra prep effort for it. It went well and he said he was happy to talk with my OB on the phone. I then put in extra effort to send release forms to all the doctors and send portal messages to remind them to communicate with one another.

I may hear back from them beginning tomorrow. I figure the fact I forgot to request a new reading this week may mean this situation was always going to continue into this week. I will keep putting extra effort into this. We reach viability this week (IOW, they actually might decide to do an emergency C-section because the baby might survive it) so this is when they need to come to a decision.

(I have also been overworked this week because my FSA was finally unfrozen so I've been catching up on submitting disbursement requests (half an hour's work per appointment! FSAs stink) so it may just have meant that.)

Thanks again for offering these readings!

[kimberlysteele]

Hi, not sure if you'll see this.

This week you drew three cards.

For the first, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. In the You position, I think it is clearly pointing to the situation with the doctors where you are trying to educate them on the importance of the subtleties of your condition and you keep running into problems.

For the Middle or Situation position, they give you Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. This is saying that the Situation is headed for better waters, and that factors you cannot control will begin going in your favor.

For the Outcome, they give you Koad or Confluence well-dignified, which also bodes well for the general situation. Koad indicates that there are factors you can control that you are steering in your favor and those will combine for a general improvement. Good luck and may Artemis bless your baby.
