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!

Heads up?

Thanks!

Re: Heads up?
Date: 2021-11-08 10:15 pm (UTC)This week looks like a mixed bag for you.
For the You position or the most immediate, you got Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. This card is one of cleanliness and health, so the Ogham are trying to give you fair warning to take care of your immune system this week. Personally, when I know I am going to be around sick people (which is almost always) I take zinc lozenges. One of the ill-dignified possibilities of this card is hyper-hygiene, which is just as bad or worse as lack of hygiene. It is very easy to go overboard on cleanliness or medical paranoia. The healthiest approach is building up natural strength, not attacking or removing every real and perceived threat.
For the Situation position, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. Since this is situation, you may end up coming to someone's rescue this week or they will come to yours. The Ogham are saying that you are balanced in your defensive procedures, meaning you are wise if you follow your gut this week.
For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. When Ioho is ill-dignified, it means either you are letting go of too much or alternately you are clinging to what is not meant for you. When I draw Ioho, it often means I am too busy or preoccupied to get any rest and my Ogham are saying "Slow down; not worth it". The opposite problem, too much Grace, means you are conceding or capitulating where you should not. One of the most important life skills my mother taught me was how to be nice without turning into a doormat. You can say No gracefully, and if other people get butthurt or cannot accept it for an answer, that is entirely their problem and not yours!
Re: Heads up?
Date: 2021-11-08 10:47 pm (UTC)Will definitely continue to bolster my immune system without tipping into obsessive territory.
I like your Mom’s advice. Once upon a time I would’ve just waited for this process to make its way through channels. Not today. Politely but firmly got the ball rolling on this.

Date: 2021-11-08 10:21 pm (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. Despite the turmoil of this week, you will at least feel at home in a peculiar niche and it will be comforting and strengthening. Feeling you can be at home is essential to happiness and cannot be overvalued.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. This is my Ogham giving you a gentle warning that you'll be tempted to get snippy or take the low road. Now that they've given you the heads up, you can avoid it. Since Ailm is in Situation, this could be referring to someone close to you.
For the Outcome, you drew Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. When Uilleand is ill-dignified, it means either you'll be the recipient of overdone generosity of the sort that makes you feel awkward. The flipside imbalance is that you run the risk of over-helping someone and they will feel a bit smothered. Either way, draw some limits and you will find that all the gifts that flow to and from you will go smoothly.

Date: 2021-11-08 10:25 pm (UTC)Re: When and where to move
Date: 2021-11-08 10:24 pm (UTC)As far as a move to Texas being good for your family, they provide Muin well-dignified. Muin means Harvest and is symbolized in my Ogham by nightshade or tomato. You'll have a rich "harvest" in Texas and it is a good place to raise children.
Are you on the right path? Yes, they say. They give you Fearn or Bridge, which means that you are able to make the transition fairly smoothly.

Date: 2021-11-08 06:46 am (UTC)I'm planning a move in order to get out of Canada, and am hoping to get the timing right. What will happen if I move
a) By the end of the year?
b) Between then and when my current lease ends?
c) When my current lease ends?
no subject
Date: 2021-11-08 10:36 pm (UTC)Here's how my Ogham break it down for you:
a) End of year -- they say don't do it. They give Nuin or Communication ill-dignified, which means people you don't know making things difficult for you if you choose this option.
b) Between then and lease end -- They give Tinne or Defense well-dignified, meaning that this would be a defensive move on your part but it would work out OK. You might try negotiating it.
c) When the lease ends -- They give Huath or Obstacles, meaning that you'd have to craftily go around some painful crap in order to do this, but it would work out well despite being risky.

Date: 2021-11-08 10:46 pm (UTC)This week is a mixed bag for you.
For the You position, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified, which means a couple of possibilities -- either you will be stretched beyond your limits/you will try to go too far and get schooled because of it or you will feel boxed in and listless when you should be rising to the occasion at hand.
For the Situation, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. Phagos means that you have the opportunity to teach a thing you know very well or to be taught by a master or both. Keep in mind that it is just as likely Phagos is talking about a non-academic subject.
For the Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. You will be tempted to share something you ought to keep a secret or say something when nothing needs to be said. Take the warning and keep your mouth shut when the time comes. Alternately, there may be a clear case where you need to make a stand -- don't back down in niceness or cowardice if this is the case. Ruffle feathers as needed.

Re: Oghhhhammmm yay
Date: 2021-11-08 10:55 pm (UTC)For this week, my Ogham give you three cards.
For the You position, they provide Luis or Protection ill-dignified. Either you'll be under-protected and depending a bit too heavily on your Holy Guardian Angel to keep you safe or you'll have a tendency to go in the opposite direction, meaning overprotection and insulating yourself too much from reality. Either way, try to swing it back towards the middle.
For the Situation, they give you Straif or Resilience well-dignified. You take appropriate measures for the collapse we are currently soaking in this week. This may be referring either to a specific project or an attitude, and in either case, it could be talking about taking or receiving good advice on resilience because it is in Situation.
For the Outcome, you got Gort or Ivy well-dignified. You will hang in there with aplomb this week and your perseverance and tenacity will serve as a model for others who badly need it right now.
Re: Oghhhhammmm yay
Date: 2021-11-09 12:29 am (UTC)I got Ngetal reversed for situation, which actually goes VERY well with yours. I am going to Costco to double my emergency collapse food supply, thus the upright Straif. Something my family has been observing lately is, I have been messing with my mental health by obsessing about preparation for the worst. Thus, I interpret this as, I will prepare well, but my inappropriate attitude towards preparation may hurt or overwhelm me, since Ngetal reversed is the reverse of health, and indicates stuckness.
I got Mor upright for my last one, which is a fascinating interplay with Gort. Mor is destiny, and Gort perseverance, so perhaps the attitude and changes that Gort inculcates, will lead (or give me the capacity to seek) towards Mor (get it?).
Thanks for the reading! I think I'm going to do this again sometime, the twinned interpretation has some potential I think.

Also, thank you for answering my question last week and I'm sorry it was so heavy. You were right about my cat and I did appreciate your answer.

Date: 2021-11-08 10:59 pm (UTC)Yes, my Ogham say you are doing the right thing by distancing yourself from that person. They give you Onn or Community well-dignified, which is to say in order to bring the community you actually want to surround yourself with, you had to get rid of that person. I've had a similar issue where I had to let go of a friend I've had most of my life because we just cannot see eye to eye anymore. I have cut and cleared this person and wished that they are blessed, however I'd like for them to depart from me for the rest of this incarnation at the very least.

Date: 2021-11-08 11:17 pm (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Saille or Sensitivity/Flexibility ill-dignified. This card warns you not to be too accommodating. Aphrodite, who rules this card, protects you by reminding that you must learn to exclude what you don't love -- this does not mean you have to disdain it, just that you must exclude it. You need to do this so you have the time and energy for what you do love. The flipside imbalance is shutting out too much and being obsessive about what you love, like the kid who only practices his recital piece and forgets that I assigned him scales and three other tunes to practice LOL. In all seriousness, my Ogham are warning against tunnel vision if that's your tendency.
For the Situation position, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. Since this is in Situation, it is possible an outside pressure will arrive on the scene that attempts to get pushy with you. As I mentioned in one of the readings above, one of the most important life lessons my mother ever taught me was how to say No gracefully yet firmly. That said, when you must say No, it is a good time to reflect on times when someone said No to you and how you felt about it. The moral of the story: You don't have to be nasty to say No, but you do have to be firm and insistent about your limits. Alternately, there could be a "my get up and go...got up and went" situation where you just do not feel like rising to whatever occasion is presenting itself.
For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified, which means that you are guarded this week by your Holy Guardian Angel. When the HGA is active, it means there is good reason for it, so it is an excellent time to identify hostile forces around you right now and think about how they need to be dealt with ahead of schedule.

Thank you.
no subject
Date: 2021-11-08 11:28 pm (UTC)Continuing church is a mixed bag for you.
For the most immediate or You position, you got Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. Unfortunately, you'll see diminishing returns from going to church and because this is a general, system-wide change, you'll have no control over it.
For the Situation, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. You will either feel more lonely and isolated (too much Intimacy) or exposed and raw because of churchgoing. Either way, it is suggested you play it close to the vest and not divulge too much information to your church's community or leadership.
For the Outcome, you drew Duir well-dignified. Duir means Gifts. You can overcome the problems of your church by using it as a vehicle for generosity and sharing your own gifts. I believe my Ogham are suggesting limiting your involvement with the church, severely limiting what you tell the church's fellowship about yourself, and using the church to reach out to those in need by leading a program of your own design and promoting it via the church.

Date: 2021-11-09 12:25 am (UTC)It's shaping up to be a good week for you. You will handle all your challenges well from what the Ogham indicate. All three cards were well-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene. This is to say that you will strike a good balance where cleanliness and health is concerned. One of the main neuroses of our age is the preoccupation with health -- not surprising for a civilization where death is seen as a terrible outcome to be avoided at all costs. Despite being surrounded by the fearful, you'll keep your head on straight, avoiding risks but not getting too hung up about it.
For the Situation position, you drew Koad or Confluence. You have built some solid relationships both to other people and to the land and you will enjoy the good karma of that which you have put in place.
For the Outcome, you got Gort or Perseverance. You show the right amount of steadfastness this week. Neither do you engage in the psychology of previous investment and diminishing returns nor do you feel you are hanging by a thread. Instead you have a healthy set of intentions and limits.

Date: 2021-11-09 12:37 am (UTC)For this week, you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified. This indicates you'll have some stupid people or a stupid situation that you'll have to either figure out how to avoid, work around, or compromise with. There is also a possibility you'll have a realization about a time when you were wrong and will be given opportunity either to correct it, to say "I don't do that anymore" or both.
For the Situation, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. You will be able to use your particular niche in society to your advantage this week. Signs point to people being willing to network with you or you helping someone out and having a positive impact on their life.
For the Outcome, you got Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. Your generosity and your sense of the way generosity flows will be powerful this week. There is a balance between spendthrift and miser that is extremely tricky, but once you're in that groove, you will always find abundance in your surroundings. Any generosity you put out (this is definitely not limited to financial generosity) will come back to you by the power of seven or more.
Two (or three) questions
Date: 2021-11-08 05:54 pm (UTC)What’s up this week? And,
Is there anything missing from my recently drawn conclusion? Anything I might consider doing about it which I’m not currently?
Thanks very much,
IVN
Re: Two (or three) questions
Date: 2021-11-09 12:46 am (UTC)For this week, you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. You will act as a good teacher to someone this week, and not necessarily literally by standing in front of a chalkboard and teaching but by acting as a role model or an inspiration. It's a good week to look at what you've done right and how that may be benefitting those whose lives you have touched.
For the Situation, you got Ruis or Regret well-dignified. You will put your regrets in proper perspective this week. Since it is in Situation, it is possible that someone out there is forgiving you for a past trespass. This "someone" is not necessarily an embodied being.
For the Outcome, you got Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. There are factors in the greater environment that you have zero control over that take a turn for the worse this week. Because yours isn't the only reading where Mór has shown up ill-dignified this week, I'm expecting the astral plane to get worse. I recommend prayer and banishing rituals to all; it's the only way to keep oneself above the morass these days.
As far as your recently drawn conclusion, the Ogham give you Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. They warn you not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Try to salvage what you can and don't be rash in trying to throw away everything so you can start over. That said, things need to change and you need to be firm in the limits you set.

Date: 2021-11-09 12:57 am (UTC)It's bad luck, it's karma, but it's not necessarily an actual curse.
They give you three ill-dignified cards.
For the first card, they provide Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. You are being impacted by problems from far away and stressed out by people you do not know. You would do well to severely limit your exposure to social media and perhaps electronics in general as you might have some electrosensitivity issues. Getting out into wild spaces is crucial for you -- you need to go outside more and get more sunlight and fresh air. Of course we all need to do that, but you need it especially badly.
For the question of karma, they give you Beith or Intention ill-dignified. They are saying you need to reshape your intention. Unfortunately bad health might be something you cannot avoid in this incarnation, and if this is the case, studying Stoicism is your best bet. That said, don't give up on trying to make the best effort to heal yourself to the best of your ability.
For the curse question, they provide Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified, which I interpret as saying "That is not yet appropriate for you to know". It could be a curse, but it's also a "maybe not". Either way, the best strategy is to either cultivate indifference and neutrality towards those whom you believe would curse you and if possible, to avoid them altogether.

Date: 2021-11-08 07:46 pm (UTC)I just wanted to let you know that Jade the cat came down from the tree safely on Friday afternoon, 14 days after she went up!
Will you please express our gratitude to the Ogham (beings, powers - I apologize, I do not know the correct way to address them).
Thank you again.

Re: How's my week?
Date: 2021-11-09 01:07 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. You have two potentials on the imbalance spectrum this week, and that is to be over- or under-protected. Watch yourself for risky behavior -- for instance, I was about to stand on my bed to get something off a high shelf last week and I actually got a message from my deceased cat Kiki not to do it because of the risk of falling. On the flipside, don't overreact in fear or superstition. Take a rational approach and question yourself: "Do I really have a terrible gut feeling about this or are there subconscious factors and desires I am not addressing?"
For the Middle or Situation, you got Beith or Intention well-dignified. You'll have a good sense of direction this week and you'll know what you want and do the necessary steps to achieve it. Factors will align to meet this desire.
For the Outcome, you got Koad or Confluence well-dignified. It's a good week to look at the best things in your life and how they got there. How much did your own action have to do with it and how much was luck?

What's up for me this week?
no subject
Date: 2021-11-09 01:15 am (UTC)Sure thing! This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. You'll understand the flow of giving this week and you will be given insight about how the energetic balance of giving and receiving works on this planet. The secret is gratitude -- not just your own gratitude but the gratitude of others. There is a system to it that reminds me a great deal of the way sound waves reverberate.
For the Middle position, you drew Duir or Gifts. This is a card that is very close to Uilleand in spirit. It looks like you'll be giving or receiving gifts this week, and keep in mind these gifts are not limited to the corporeal. Anything you give with an open heart this week, whether this is a gazillion dollars or a joke that makes someone laugh, will sublimate and come back to you powerfully, so be extra generous this week and watch the rewards pile up in your life.
For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. You may be tempted to either force a situation or an outcome this week out of overconfidence... don't. Alternately, be ready to rise to a challenge or to be flexible and crafty.

Date: 2021-11-09 01:27 am (UTC)My Ogham have some advice for you.
For the You position, they give you Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. They are saying that you have more wisdom than you think, but humility and hard work are still the way forward even if this is the case. Sometimes you have to spend a huge, huge amount of time carrying the buckets of water up the hill only to have the Master unceremoniously empty them onto his garden and send you back down again.
For the Situation, they gave you Gort or Perseverance. Perseverance is key. Are you doing your prayers or rituals consistently? Practice makes perfect. It's your dogged perseverance that will eventually win the day. Keep on truckin'.
For the Outcome, they provide Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. They say your main problem is that you are either under- or over-prepared. If you are under-resilient, you are extremely scared of improvisation and thinking out of the box. In this case, you need to relax and not worry so much about getting it wrong. If you are over-resilient, you should put less faith in material preparation for disaster and cultivate Stoicism (making the best out of a terrible situation and being exceedingly generous in a wonderful situation) and to understand that most disaster preparation is mental/psychological.
Week & month
Date: 2021-11-08 11:56 pm (UTC)Re: Week & month
Date: 2021-11-09 01:45 am (UTC)My Ogham point to some imbalances that you have a chance to correct this week and this month. I read six cards for you -- five out of six are ill-dignified.
For this week:
The first card in the You position is well-dignified, and it is a very important one. It is Saille or Sensitivity/Flexibility, symbolized by the willow tree. This is a week where you will get a much, much clearer picture of that which you do want and that which you don't want, and this will be crucial to getting what you want out of life in the future.
For the Situation this week, you got Huath or Obstacles. Beware of trying to force your desired outcome; it isn't going to get you what you want. Alternately, don't give up on trying something new just because you've been disappointed in the past.
For the Outcome this week, you drew Tinne or Defense. By being over-defensive and withdrawing or reacting with spite, you actually compromise your security. Play it cool is what my Ogham recommend.
For this month:
For the You card this month, you drew Eadha or Limits. This month you need to learn the limits of your life and this world with an open heart. Not all things are possible or even probable, but there is a great deal of magic you're not seeing. This world is very deeply enchanted, it's just that most of us are the equivalent of blind and deaf to it; it's part of the curse of this particular era. Being naive and being filled with wonder are definitely not the same thing.
For the Situation this month, you drew Quert or Celebration, meaning that you might be feeling a Bah Humbug vibe (not enough celebration) or you run the risk of overdoing it and then having regrets and a hangover.
For the Outcome, they provide Ur or Intimacy. Part of your karma is learning to be truly happy in your own skin, and this is a lesson that you will run into over and over again in multiple lifetimes until you learn it. You deserve the best and luckily you have it already... within yourself. The hard part is recognizing it.
For Pregnancy Worrier
Date: 2021-11-09 01:49 am (UTC)For the You position, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. This means it is going to be a tough week that taxes your reserves. Do your level best to hang in there, but don't be afraid to question yourself if there is a "psychology of previous investment" going on, meaning, if you have to let someone go or change something, certainly don't hesitate after considering the matter as carefully as possible.
For the Situation, you drew Beith or Beginnings well-dignified. Since this is a birth card, I hope it means what I think it means and that Artemis blesses your baby and keeps him or her safe.
For the Outcome, you drew Oír or Epiphany well-dignified. This is a card of going around the idiots and fools and/or a moment of brilliance that helps everything around it. Please let us know if the Ogham were right!
