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!

What to do?
Date: 2021-10-11 03:19 am (UTC)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!
Preparedness
Date: 2021-10-11 04:05 am (UTC)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!

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

Date: 2021-10-11 07:43 am (UTC)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

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

Date: 2021-10-11 02:38 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2021-10-11 07:14 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2021-10-11 07:16 pm (UTC)Re: What to do?
Date: 2021-10-11 07:44 pm (UTC)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.
Re: Preparedness
Date: 2021-10-11 07:50 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2021-10-11 07:59 pm (UTC)My Ogham say that your absolute top priority should be thinking about what perseverance means to you. They provide Gort (Ivy) or Perseverance ill-dignified, which is to say you have an imbalance in one of two potential directions where perseverance is concerned. You are either under-prepared (does not sound like this one, it seems very much in the front of your mind) or you are over-prepared and worrying too much. Since Gort is Ivy, I also take this to directly mean you should expand the gardens and focus your efforts around food gardening. Going in too many directions means you are a jack of all trades, master of none. Patch any major leaks in the roof, avoid shopping, and focus yourself on that garden. One of the best things you can do to prepare is to try to make friends with your neighbors and community. Having local people who have got your back is the best disaster insurance.

Date: 2021-10-11 08:08 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2021-10-11 08:26 pm (UTC)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.
Re: Practitioner
Date: 2021-10-11 08:28 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2021-10-11 08:51 pm (UTC)I will mull this over a bit more - it feels like there is even more in there for me.
If I was looking for a good introduction to the Ogham, would you happen to have any recommendations? A website or a book maybe?
