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: 2021-11-16 04:04 am (UTC)This week is your typical mixed bag. For the You or most immediate position, you drew Ioho or Grace well-dignified. You exemplify maturity this week and you strike a decent balance between letting go and being relaxed and diligence.
For the Situation, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. This means that you or someone close to you will need to be forceful, but there is a warning of imbalance. If too much force is applied, you run the risk of overpowering or overshooting the target -- I have a fiery, overwhelming personality, so if I see this card, it is usually a warning to tone it down. Conversely, if you are more of a retiring, mellow personality, this could be a warning to stand up for yourself and for others.
For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. This is a warning not to "harvest" too early, meaning not to anticipate an outcome you want to come early or even on time. Alternately, it could be warning about over-harvesting, meaning if you have opportunistic tendencies, this week will not be the place or the time to engage them.

Date: 2021-11-16 04:11 am (UTC)For the You card, you drew Coll or Wisdom. Ill-dignified, you'll either have the urge to say too much or presume you know more than you do, or you'll say too little when you do know and/or you won't know what to do and you'll be forced to muddle. For me, Coll ill-dignified is usually a warning to shut up at the right time.
For the Situation, you drew Gort or Perseverance. If there is too much perseverance, it's the psychology of previous investment where one or both of you keeps doing the same thing with diminishing or negative returns. If there is too little, it means feeling strained, put upon, worn thin, and unready.
For the Outcome, you drew Duir or Gifts. There really isn't a bad side to Duir. You will either give of your own resources (remember money is something we can give but Duir is often not about money at all) or someone will give their resources to you. If it is you giving, that is good karma for you. If it is them giving, that means you would be smart to pay those gifts forward and receive them with graciousness and gratitude.

Date: 2021-11-16 04:17 am (UTC)For the You position, you drew Koad or Grove. Koad means Confluence. This week may feel like a s**tstorm. Because it is Koad, some of this poop flying about may be the consequences of your own actions, so it will be important to figure out what you don't like about this week and think about what is in your power to change.
For the Situation position, you drew Muin or Harvest. You may be rushing an outcome or getting impatient when you need to take a "wait and see" approach. Alternately, you might have a touch of let-life-pass-you-by-itis where you are tempted to sit at home when you really ought to be cutting loose and having a little fun.
For the Outcome, you drew Gort or Ivy. Ivy is Perseverance. Ill-dignified, you might me persevering too much, clinging to what isn't making sense anymore. You also might be persevering too little, meaning letting bad times get you down. I tend to get this one when I have a run of bad finances and my bank account goes into the red.

Date: 2021-11-16 04:01 am (UTC)A successful search would bring you here to Kittenville! 😄 Sonkitten wears a 13/14 unless he’s going to walk a lot; then he has to put on his flat-feet braces, which take him up to a 15. So he’s been called “Bigfoot “ for ages.
What he really needs when he’s without his serious braces is a 13 1/2, but they don’t seem to make that size.

Date: 2021-11-15 10:36 am (UTC)Re: People problems
Date: 2021-11-16 05:00 pm (UTC)Sorry I missed this one yesterday. Here is your reading:
For the You position, they provide Coll ill-dignified. They are saying you suffer from a lack of wisdom that can only be learned the difficult, diligent, slow way. That is to say it is karma, but it is the kind that is beyond human understanding because it happens at a massive scale and at a glacially slow pace. They caution you to be patient: people in general are not very wise. Your best strategy is to avoid the people you have issues with as much as possible and to go around them because they aren't getting any wiser and you cannot force them. So it's best to focus on yourself and not let them in on any information they don't need to know.
For the Situation, you drew Saille. Saille is Sensitivity and it is a card that is sacred to Aphrodite. Others are jealous of you. They may be jealous of your flexibility, or maybe they are jealous of your relationships. They want something you have and it is probably something that could not be given to them even if you tried. This card indicates that it is fine to shut some people out entirely, meaning to literally do cut and clear spells on them and remove them from your life. Definitely meditate on it first though, and not just once, before making that decision.
For the Outcome, you drew Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. The "waters in which you swim" are improving. This isn't anything you can affect, it is merely the weather forecast. As for your question "Is it a curse?" Well, it's nothing formal. These days people throw around curses with total casualness, so curses are everywhere. Your best bet is to take up a banishing ritual and discursive meditation -- then you can throw off the curses and because of the meditation, you won't be recycling them by projecting your own shadow.

Date: 2021-11-16 04:25 am (UTC)They give you Huath, which means Obstacles, and it is well-dignified which is an answer in the affirmative. My Ogham say there isn't anything you can do to ameliorate the situation. They provide Eadha or Limits when I ask about that, and it is negative. Sadly all you can do is to always keep your pets inside, and if you have a dog, keep them leashed at all times unless they are far away from your property. If it is any help, I keep both my cats Shadow and Ash inside and I take great pains to make sure they never go outside. Our house is tiny, only 600 square feet, so that is why I had my husband build an elaborate cat tree and buy them a second cat tree.

Thanks,

Re: Week 46
Date: 2021-11-16 04:33 am (UTC)It looks like a good week for you -- all three cards were well-dignified.
For the You or most immediate position, you got Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. You might have some conflict this week, but you will handle it in the exact way it should be handled. Overall, you will strike a balance where you are neither too forceful nor too wimpy.
For the Situation, you drew Straif or Resilience. Times are getting tough all around but you have prepared in the most crucial way. In my opinion, most of resilience is mental. For instance, let's say there is a prepper and he uses all his money to build a deluxe bunker on his remote homestead. On the other hand, let's say there is some other guy living out of his car, but he is well-versed in Stoicism. The guy living out of his car is in many ways better prepared because he's already been there and done that mentally. Unlike the guy in the bunker, nothing can phase him.
For the Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom. You'll have the good sense to shut up if you don't know what's going on. Also, it's possible you might have a chance to share your knowledge or to gain knowledge from an expert or both this week, both of which are nice outcomes.

Thanks as always.
no subject
Date: 2021-11-16 04:34 am (UTC)My Ogham seem to think it will be good. They give you Saille or Willow well-dignified. Saille is a card of flexibility and moving with the times.

From:When to leave
Date: 2021-11-15 06:09 pm (UTC)For my reading this week I would like to know how different options regarding my employment will go:
1) leave soon
2) leave at Christmas
3) file for a religious exemption
Thank you again for offering this service.

Re: When to leave
Date: 2021-11-16 04:38 am (UTC)For 1) Leave soon, they give you Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified. This means that you won't be able to avoid trouble by leaving immediately.
For 2) Leave at Christmas, they give you Onn or Community well-dignified. You would have enough support from others to leave at that time.
For 3) Religious exemption, they give you Duir or Gifts well-dignified. They are saying you ought to try one because it would bring good results.

Date: 2021-11-16 04:47 am (UTC)For whatever reason, I got the feeling this should be a single card reading, and the Ogham surprised me. They say you should focus on Ngetal or Hygiene. They provide the card ill-dignified, so that indicates they want you to look deeply into the matter.
You have junk in some form that you need to get rid of -- I don't know if they are talking about actual junk you need to sell, give away, or throw away or psychological baggage or both. Ngetal is also a card of health and if it comes up ill-dignified, you need to focus on your own health. That's why I call Ngetal "hygiene", meaning it is ruled by Hygeia, goddess of health. This seems like a fairly direct dictate to maintain a gentle exercise regimen (quite a few people either under-exercise like me or go at it way too hard) and to pare down on the excess stuff.

Date: 2021-11-16 04:50 am (UTC)I agree, it's interesting this week! They say that you'll get the benefits of Regret. They provide Ruis or Regret well-dignified. You'll be able to tie up some loose ends and bury some hatchets perhaps, or maybe you will be able to lend some cheer and mirth to someone who needs it. You might end up seeing someone who makes you realize you dodged a bullet!

Date: 2021-11-16 05:06 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You card, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. This week will present an opportunity to learn from someone of great wisdom, to impart some of your hard-earned wisdom on others, or both.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence. You will have the opportunity to be the bigger person this week and to rise above the small and petty. Whether it is the nasty behavior or someone barging in where they have no business or overcoming a deficiency of the past, you will do so with style and grace.
For the Outcome, they give you Saille or Flexibility. This is a good time to look at the activities, feelings, and people you truly love and ruthlessly exclude anything you are only lukewarm towards. Saille is a card of Aphrodite. She warns that you must be flexible and accommodating, but only to a point.

Date: 2021-11-15 10:05 pm (UTC)I asked last week about moving, and your Ogham said to avoid it for the rest of this year, but that sometime in 2022 between January and when my lease ends it will work out okay. I have three follow up questions on this if you don't mind:
a) What will happen if I were move in January?
b) What will happen if I were to move in February?
c) What will happen if I stay past when my lease ends and move at a later date?
no subject
Date: 2021-11-16 05:12 am (UTC)They give you three cards:
For a) January they give you Oír or Epiphany well-dignified. A January move would be for the best and it would give you the best opportunities to go around the stupid people.
b) For February they give you Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified, meaning it would be messy and difficult.
c) For staying past the lease's end, they give you Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified, meaning that you are putting too much time and energy into a bad situation.
i made it!
Date: 2021-11-16 12:43 am (UTC)i went in with my toe and i feel ill and yes everything everyone said about side effects being meaningless... yeah... you dare not waste your life and argue. we're in different worlds.
anyhow...
i want to know what your ogham say about staying here vs. leaving --- even psychically or emotionally. it feels so "wrong" and evil, my instinct is that's WHY to stay solid like a tree and fight it from what i think is the heart of the pulse murmuration and spell via the magic phones/social media drip and incoming tubes of bile to keep them alive. but ...(shrug)... Thomas Paine's name and quotes kept coming up out of nowhere and he's the least famous of the founders but called the moral founder of the constitution of the U.S. and well, life isn't lived to be comfortable and safe, right?
so he used his writing to fight. i forget it once had that power... but still does right? what does your site and Papa G's work do for ME???
i'm such an asshole. all the time.
anyhow... i don't know how to properly ask ogham questions. i just know that i need something to percolate on regarding how to best fight this totalitarianism, even though it'll seem as useless as fighting slavery in the first of hundreds of years to come. it's a long game.
do i stay and fight the war complex or run off to canada?...
not so easy as i once thought now.
so what, pray tell dear Miss Kimberly Steele, pray tell what does your ogham have for me because i don't want my proclivities for pain fight to overshadow my beloved James' happiness and future life, as he will suffer for ME and stay here even as he wants to leave. even though he asks "where to go?" we both see it spreading and where best to fight from?...
right now we're here and financially no reason to leave YET (rent control). but i'm fixed more fixed than i'd care to admit and it'll take me a lot to start to give up and look elsewhere. if i don't get the radio show i'm open.
if the radio show comes through i'll feel settled...
see why i wanted to remember to come here for MONTHS??? (smile)
i need help on how to play this fight out and not sacrifice my beloved best friend, James, who'd give and has given his life for me. i don't wanna be an asshole self absorbed leo and take advantage of this.
i buried my lead. i wanna give ALL and any pertinent information.
thank you for this. i felt shy asking but after today... whew. don't wanna spill my seed and that was INTENSE.
thing is, a young girl cashier who apparently dug watching how i publicly dealt with all the stink eyes in the store, she confessed she regretted being coerced into taking it to keep her job, and she won't do it again next time.
i quietly said, "email me if you need any help standing up to all this."
she looked at me deep in my eyes because that's all we had, and said, "yes, i still have your email from a long time ago" (i'd made a pattern of my crazy bike vest for her since she wanted to make one for herself like it)
and told her to support the one woman left in the store, the ONLY one who declined and they're gunning for her and cut her hours.
i'll hush. i'm freaked out and still shakey after taking a bath. you're the first person after James i'm telling so it's a mess. they're CRAZY beyond anything i've seen even when people are at their worst in private and this is in PUBLIC, en masse.
outta my league. see why i don't wanna waste James' life? but what IS life for???
this is why i'm digging Thomas Paine. he was a freak a passionate HUMAN. he puts fire of Life back into the argument against this and their "arguments." (you can't say ANYTHING. they think we're selfish and individualistic assholes and feel no compunction but gratitude at our downfalls. it's hella creepy. i saw it in people's eyes i thought were ..NICE. and this isn't family. this wasn't in PRIVATE.
what you got? i'll hush!
(because i'm comfortable with "crazy" but this is ALL outta my league and i guess ANYONE'S league because it's ...no words for this. i was singing on my bicycle on a sunny saturday and waved and smiled at a couple of young kids around 4 and they looked at me with dead eyes and no expression. on a sunny day in SAN FRANCISCO. i'm in that Body Snatchers movie... ALL outta my league... ALL this. and they're tripling down every do dah day...WOW)
people ask you re ogham, "what have you got for me?"
is that all it takes or is this from a long time relationship?

Re: i made it!
Date: 2021-11-16 05:41 am (UTC)Sadly I know how you feel. Illinois is full of pod people who love the cargo cult of masks and who spend their time wallowing in fear porn. It is especially horrible what is being done to the children.
I asked my Ogham what is the result if you and James stay in San Francisco versus leaving and moving elsewhere. They said that if you stay it is easier for now and harder later, whereas leaving is much harder right now but ends up working out for the best.
I did a six card reading.
For Staying, the You position is Muin or Harvest. This is symbolized by the Grapevine in the old Ogham and the Nightshade or Tomato in my Prairie Ogham. You'll have prosperity for the time being in San Francisco. You are still able to get by and there are projects that come to fruition for both of you.
For the Situation, you got Beith or Intention/Birth ill-dignified. This is symbolized by the Birch in both my Prairie Ogham and the traditional Ogham. You may be comfortable as indicated by the previous card, but you are unable to start anything new or you end up going in too many directions at once.
For the Outcome or Karma, you got Koad or Grove ill-dignified, which means the factors start combining in a crappy way that makes it hard to stay in San Francisco. Koad is not the end of the world, but it just makes for difficult times.
For Moving Away, you and James also drew three cards.
For the You card, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. In my Prairie Ogham, Tinne is symbolized by the prickly Eastern Cedar and in the traditional Ogham, it is the equally prickly evergreen Holly. San Francisco may feel like the safer bet right now but that safety is an illusion, and unfortunately you saw why it is an illusion today at Trader Joes. Here in Illinois, TJ's has been one of the worst stores for being harassed for my mask free face, so I have not been in one for a couple of years.
For the Situation, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified, meaning you will have to choose very carefully where and how you move and it will be all too easy to give away too much about where you are going, so they are saying maintain radio silence about it and make and execute your moving plans largely in secret. Coll is symbolized by the Hazelnut in the traditional Ogham and the Burr Oak in mine -- think of earning wisdom and being nourished by its products.
For the Outcome or Karma, they gave you Ruis or Regret well-dignified. You won't regret moving if that is what you decide to do. Ruis is symbolized by the Elder in the old Ogham, the witch/fairy tree of healing, though she can get grumpy and even vengeful, she is a good ally to have. In my Prairie Ogham Ruis is the Black Walnut, which grumpily plops great green balls onto people's heads but is beloved by many animals who are sustained by it.
Keep in mind the people taken in by the Coronachan narrative are entranced by demons. Specifically I think it may be Paimon. Fighting does not help -- the best way is straight out of a cheesy kung fu movie. Train, train, train, and don't fight unless they corner you. Did you follow the Cosmic Doctrine when JMG did the reading club about it? Dion Fortune talks about not opposing the evil which you mean to destroy. Make yourself as strong as possible as secretly as possible and quietly go around them as long as you can. They're tripling down because the die off has begun. They know they could be the next one to suffer and die and it sucks. It's super easy to hate the ones who did this and I'll admit, I do hate some of them, especially some former pals of mine who bought into the Narrative hook, line, and sinker. I'm doing my best to focus on other things though.

Re: this week
Date: 2021-11-16 05:50 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards this week.
For the You position, they provide Tinne or Defense well-dignified. You'll have decent reserves of energy and you'll be well-guarded this week, however, when this card shows up it means you may need to think about defense, so take good care of your health and be careful if you do a dangerous activity this week.
For the Situation position, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. Be wary of a tendency to overreact or underreact this week. There might be anxiety that would be best dealt with via natural magic, for instance a hoodoo bath or a salt amulet. I have been wearing my red bag amulet pretty frequently lately because of the nasty state of the astral plane.
For the Outcome, you drew Quert ill-dignified. Quert means Delight and talks about enjoying the little pleasurable moments. Don't let yourself be excessively hurried or pressured this week, maintain courtesy, and remember to enjoy the moment. Treat yourself to something nice and take an hour (at least) to relax -- life is too short to do the THIS IS SPARTA routine all the time.
Hey Pregnancy Worrier
Date: 2021-11-16 05:56 am (UTC)For the You position, you got Straif or Strife ill-dignified. The stress is very high and it is testing your resilience. Hang in there. There is a danger of either being too flexible and letting others run roughshod over you or the opposite, being unbending and brittle.
For the Situation, you got Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. You will overcome and the best way to do this is try to attain the biggest picture possible. You will need all the information and many opinions which will help you make the best judgements from a wide-angle view.
For the Outcome, they provide Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. Limits are straining and you are finding out the hard way what your limits are. There are some things where you thought you had a choice but you never did. Do your best to understand your limits and work within them this week.
Re: Hey Pregnancy Worrier
Date: 2021-11-17 03:45 am (UTC)Update re last week's reading: Last week *was* a hard week. I had a couple painful health issues start acting up. But the baby kept kicking normally all through them, so looks like it's only me having the problem! :) I'm currently having to take it easy because sitting at a desk typing bothers my back. I've been feeling like I'm not doing my share around the house and praying for guidance on that.
This reading makes me suspect these health issues will continue to give me trouble this week. It's encouraging me to do less Thanksgiving prep than I planned. Which is probably the right decision. So, thanks!
