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!

 

Ogham readings are closed for this week!  Please feel free to comment on threads though.

Hi Kimberly,

What will the outcome be if I pursue exhibiting my art at the library?

Thank you for your time.

Looks good

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

My Ogham think you should pursue exhibiting your art at the library. They provide Coll or Wisdom well-dignified, which is a card of earned knowledge and diligence as well as harvest.

Hi Kimberly!

What’s up this week?

And, what do your Ogham say will come if I say what I sometimes want to say to whom I want to say it?

Thank you as always for your time.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi,

Oddly they wanted to provide you three cards to think about.

For the You part of the reading, they give you Koad or Grove. Koad represents a confluence of factors, some of which you can influence or have yourself set in place and others that cannot be influenced by you. Basically they are saying "choose your battles". You might say what you sometimes want to say, but timing is everything. Go with your gut feeling when the time comes and keep an open mind as to what the results will be.

For the Situation, they provide Ruis or Regret well-dignified. This card says that you're visiting familiar territory and you've already made the mistakes. It is also a card of balance where humility is concerned -- find the middle ground between pushover and immovable force, it does exist.

For the Outcome, they give you Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. This shows weariness, the psychology of previous investment/being in a rut, or both. Overall, they are saying you need to express yourself, but thoughtfully and with good timing.

What’s ahead this week?

Hi CK,

For this week you drew three cards.

For the You position, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. This implies a couple of possible extremes on a spectrum -- either you will feel you are coming up short in an area where you'll be desirous of knowledge or you will presume you know more than you do.

For the Middle or Situation, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. This week your community will be the source of comfort and it prove itself worthy of your pride in it. You or someone close to you might be presented with an opportunity or gift via your community, which includes extended family, neighbors, and far-away friends.

For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. Ur talks about feeling too lonely (needing attention or recognition) or not lonely enough. As an introvert who can turn on extroversion when needed, for me this usually means needing more time to be alone a.k.a. "not lonely enough". Keep in mind that Ur is a gentle warning to play it close to the vest and not to use your valuable secrets as social currency.

Hello Kimberly! What do the ogham predict for my week?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

This week is a bit of a mix for you.

For the You position, they give you Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. This week forges a path towards brighter and better things. The Ogham suggest invoking the divine (prayer, discursive meditation, time in wild spaces) in order to make the most of this week.

For the Situation position, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. Phagos, symbolized by the Beech tree, is a card of mental plane mastery. In this dignity, it is saying you or someone close to you isn't seeing the whole picture. If you are to master any mental plane concept, it is essential that you determine exactly how much you do or don't know about the subject. For instance, I am a good cook and I tend to be able to surf the etheric waves that home cooking presents, but I don't know how to cook fast (I could not be a short order cook tomorrow) and I also don't know how to cook for huge crowds. Could I learn? Sure, but I am not there at this time.

For the Outcome, you drew Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified. You'll have a realization this week about someone or something you cannot change and you'll have to figure out a way around them or it.

For the Outcome, you

Hi Kimberly!

What's up for me this week?

Thanks!
Nona

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Nona,

This week you drew three cards.

For the You position, you drew Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified. This means that you'll have a necessary realization that will be painful. It's certainly not a bad thing -- Oír, even ill-dignified, is a symbol of spring-cleaning for the heart and soul and shows us the way around difficult things and people, including self-made obstacles.

For the Middle or Situation, you got Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. Look for someone talking nonsense in your general direction and beware of casting your own pearls before swine. Only let them know as much as you think they need to know.

For the Outcome, you got Koad or Confluence well-dignified. Despite having roadblocks in the way, you figure out how to go around this week. Because of this and other past adaptations on your part, you prosper this week.

Hello Kimberly

I'm thinking about applying to a local institution for financial help, and I'd like to know if this is the best option for me to take right now?

Thank you very much for your answer to last week's question, it's intriguing.

- Rohini

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Rohini,

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, my Ogham say you should try one or more local institutions for financial help. They provide Huath or Obstacles well-dignified, which is to say it won't be a cakewalk, but you need to pursue that end.

[emilyknapstad]

What it is the outcome of the situation i am thinking about ?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Emily,

They give you Quert or Delight ill-dignified. Quert is symbolized by the Apple tree. When it is ill-dignified, it is talking about a couple of possibilities on the spectrum of imbalance. Too much Delight is Debauch -- exhausting the good will of others, consuming more than one's share, overindulgence, acting spoiled, pushiness, and rudeness would be behavioral manifestations. The other side of a Quert imbalance is Despair -- a withdrawal out of abject fear that ends in depression and possibly anger. Life is meant to be lived and fear is no way to live.

Two questions

[(Anonymous)]

Morning Kimberly

What I would like to know from the oracle is First if I ask out J would she respond favorably and if she did would that be a positive step in my life

Thanks
Will O

P.S. did the books make it to you?

Re: Two questions

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Will,

Yes, thank you for the books! I will be sending you the book you requested very soon. My circumstances have changed though and I will be giving up my commercial space soon, so I ask you and anyone else reading to please stop donating books for the time being. Once JMG has another Open Post, I'll talk about it there.

For your questions, it's looking very good! My Ogham think J. will be like "What took you so long??" and they give Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. A meeting of the minds, perhaps? I hope so. For the second question, would it be positive, they give Oír or Epiphany well-dignified, which is saying "Heck yeah!"

Countdown

[(Anonymous)]

I’m coming down to the last days of practicing from an office.

What do the Ogham say I need to focus on this week to get my practice moved out to my studio, and is my schedule doable?

Thanks,

Annette

Re: Countdown

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Annette,

I feel your pain on this one! I have not made an official announcement yet, but I am moving my music studio out of the commercial space I have occupied for 8+ years. I'm not entirely certain how the cookie will crumble yet, but plans for the physical library are also stalled until I figure something out.

They say your focus should be Gort or Perseverance. They provide it well-dignified. What can you do to ensure your practice is long-lived? Gort is telling you to examine what kept you in business all these years and to rest on those laurels.

For the second question, they say it is doable. They give you Nuin or Communication well-dignified, which is saying that you are handling the back-and-forth with deftness and grace. That trend does not show any signs of reversing.

[andrewskeen]

Hi Kimberly,

I'd like a weekly reading. Also, your reading last week was quite accurate; it was not a fun time.

Best,
Andrew

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Andrew,

They give you a slightly better outlook for this week, but not by much.

For the You position, you got Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified, which means you'll have a realization that helps you go around the bad situation/idiots/self-sabotage, but of course the presence of this card means there are issues that must be dealt with.

For the Middle or Situation, you got Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. This could be talking about any number of things, either over- or under-sensitivity on your part or someone else's, or trying to be all things to all people. The balance you should strive for will be gained by setting concrete limits, and they may end up being construed as harsh. Too bad.

For the Outcome, you got Beith or Intention well-dignified. This shows the proper energy to get yourself out of the current set of binds. Stay true to yourself and don't let the haters distract you.

December

[(Anonymous)]

Good afternoon Kimberly!

I would like to know what to be aware of this December.

Thank you,

-MF

Re: December

[kimberlysteele]

Hi MF,

The Ogham predict a good December. All three cards were well-dignified.

For the You card, the Ogham provide Ioho or Grace. This is a month of letting go of what is not meant to be or what has matured to a good and just death. You would be wise to reflect and contemplate all of the good that came from it/them and forgive the rest.

For the Situation, you drew Saille or Sensitivity. Saille is ruled by Aphrodite, and this card in particular emphasizes the importance of learning what you truly love, because those things/people are the only ones you have time for in this incarnation. Let the rest of your life be devoted to them and learn ways of ameliorating or eliminating the influence of other things that you either straight up don't like or feel lukewarm about.

For the Outcome, you got Gort or Perseverance. You prove you are in it for the long haul. This is something the gods/God smiles upon. Perseverance is the balance between tired slogging and the psychology of previous investment. There is pragmatism and humor in the journey.

[open_space]

Hey there!

Thanks as always for doing this. My question for you is:

Will I get my earpods back from the mail?

Thanks!

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham don't seem to think you'll get them back, or at least not this week. They give you Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified.

[(Anonymous)]

Greetings Kimberly,

I came across your blog via JMG's Ecosophia blog. I appreciate what you're doing here, and especially sharing your courage to go maskless in public. I am doing the same now, so know that your actions have had a small yet positive effect.

My family and I live in Canada and I would appreciate it if you did a reading to see what the outcome would be for us if we decide to stay here. We are not vaxxed, and will never be vaxxed and the pressure continues to mount. We are beginning to consider a move to a different country to escape that stress (though it may be too late with the V-passports here in Canada).

Many thanks,
Tim

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Tim,

Thank you for being brave! Despite northern Illinois being a liberal clown show, it's still much tougher to go mask-less where you are. My husband and I were at the supermarket today and the only other naked faces we saw in the giant store (it's called Meijer, not sure if you have those but it is like Walmart) was a middle-aged woman and a young father with his two boys. They cheered my heart.

My Ogham think you should stay in Canada and hold your ground. They provide three cards.

For the You position, they provide Muin or Harvest ill-dignified, which is to say it is difficult to make a living. It also points to the bad harvest of psychological fragility -- do your best as a family to lay low as there are lots of idiots who get off on confrontation. All of this stuff certainly makes me angry enough to attack the people perpetrating this, including the sheeple in my own family, but from careful study, I finally understand why attack is a futile strategy. Long story short is you have to build yourself up and be strong enough to ignore them. Your power will defeat them by its sheer light.

For the Situation, you got Duir or Gifts. This is a very good card. For one, it shows you have abundance in several areas, but it also shows great strength. Since it is Situation, it also shows gifts coming from elsewhere in your circle. Much of what caused this mess was the colossal ingratitude of monsters like Fauci and Gates, who could not be happy with normal human limitations. The answer is not to maim or destroy them (though it would be satisfying, no doubt) but to build your own strength through constant gratitude, which becomes a unique force that sublimates everything it touches. Being thankful for "basics" such as potable water and taking happiness where it presents itself to us is the way we defeat the Faucists. They don't know gratitude, they don't know its power, and the power behind it will eventually defeat them.

For the Outcome, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. Uilleand is another card of gratitude and sublimation. Generosity is a form of flow that effects an incorporeal Midas touch as it reverberates through the planes. By refusing to take the nasty, rodent-like "I've got mine, Jack" attitude of the fear-mongers, you are showing how to live by example. The rewards are more of the eternal variety than the instant kind. Keep up the good work, say my Ogham.

What do I need to know this week?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

This week you drew three cards.

The first card in the You position is Nuin or Communication. Communication with the vast outside world will present an opportunity this week, it will be up to you to follow up on it. For instance, my husband is currently unemployed and I have told him to seek freelance work on sites like Fiverr and Upwork. Will he do that? Probably not, but both of those sites represent opportunity from far away.

For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. There are a couple of possibilities of imbalance here -- one could be being given more than you can handle by some well-meaning person, basically it's charity or love that you didn't ask for or want. The other possibility is that you are giving someone charity or love that isn't wanted or that the recipient wastes it, for instance you give $20 to a beggar and he spends it on vodka.

For the Outcome, you drew Eadha or Limits well-dignified. If you set hard limits this week, you will benefit from that and it will be beneficial long into the future. Don't be afraid to say "No, absolutely not" or to eschew that which you are lukewarm or perhaps even downright hostile towards. You can be kind and gracious about it (my mother taught me this), but kindness and graciousness does not mean saying "Yes".

[(Anonymous)]

Hello, Kimberly! I would appreciate a weekly reading. Thank you for doing this for us!

With love, Sister Crow

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Sister Crow,

Right back atcha!

For this week you drew three cards.

The first card you drew is Onn or Community. It is well-dignified. This week you fit into a niche with beauty and harmony. Everyone around you benefits. It's a good week to interact and perhaps make new friends.

For the Situation, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. Going your own way has paid off and continues to do so this week. You can sublimate your gifts by sharing them, of course, and that is what the Ogham suggest -- to let others in on the celebration and fun.

For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. There will be difficulty or sadness when it comes to letting go this week. On one side, we have too much Grace which is to renege to easily when an overwhelming force comes along. On the other side, we have not enough Grace which causes clinging and the psychology of previous investment. Find your way back into the middle is what my Ogham recommend.

[(Anonymous)]

Kimberly,

Thanks for the opportunity to ask the Ogham.

My question is: Should I continue to write (for the public, on the internet)? Or would it be better to invest my time/energy into other things?

And if the answer should be „no, don‘t continue to write“, or something to that effect, a follow-up question: Any pointers as to the direction I should take, in particular with regards to earning money?

Thank you!

Milkyway

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Milkyway,

My Ogham say you should continue to write for the public. They provide Ioho or Grace well-dignified, meaning that you'll have to treat writing as if it was something that was meant to be, because it is meant to be in your case.

They also say Yes, you should be investing time and energy into other things. They give you Coll or Wisdom to answer that question. Coll is hard-earned and speaks of incessant determination. You are going to have to slog and toil for your wisdom but it does pay off... slowly.

As for earning money, they give you Koad or Confluence. This implies you should freelance and also accept what I call demi-poverty. I consider myself demi-poor, meaning I can't afford health insurance, dental care, my car is 15 years old, I eat a lot of bean soup and rice, etc. You need to take a hard look at the marketable skills you have and then freelance them. For instance, if I wasn't doing music lessons, I would be pouring my time into creating and maintaining an Etsy store, or trying a first foray into a home-blessing business, or any one of a thousand ideas.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly, what do your Ogham think about me exhibiting my work in 1) the UK, 2) Japan, and 3) California? Thank you.

[kimberlysteele]

Hoo boy, they don't like any of them.

They give ill-dignified cards for all three. For the UK, they give Gort or Perseverance, which means it will be hard to get a leg up there.

For Japan, they give Beith or Beginnings. Another hard start.

For California, they give Muin or Harvest. Meaning, the greedy make it difficult for you or perhaps take advantage of you. Are there other countries you might exhibit in?

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberley,
I’m new to your blog but I already love your work! What does the Ogham want me to know this week?
Best,
Gerry

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Gerry,

Thank you!

This week you drew three cards. For the You position, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. There are a couple of potential imbalances here, and in my system of divination, it is up to you, the Querent, to figure out which imbalance is presenting itself. Too much Intimacy means you clam up when you should speak up or that you're feeling lonely, or both. Too little means you might be tempted to say too much and put your foot in your mouth -- keep your mouth shut at the right time and you will reap the benefits.

For the middle or Situation position, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. Once again, there are potential imbalances to watch out for. One is being too defensive. Maybe your mood gets touchy this week or you become overly fearful of a nothingburger. The other is not being defensive enough: getting reckless or not paying enough attention to potential threats. Since this is Situation, it could be happening or even coming from people close to you.

For the Karma or Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. Coll is the School of Hard Knocks style of learning that results in true knowledge of what was meant to be learned. You will find that gnosis comes into play this week and you'll help yourself and perhaps others will also benefit because of it.

okay i DO have another specific question...

[(Anonymous)]

does your Ogham see this radio thing even happening with me???

i've got the strongest feeling i'm being pushed to do it, and that it's gonna happen, although i'm not aware of what or why there's a hold up.

that said, i'm never sure whether my "insights" are insights or wishes and i so desperately want to SCREAM to fight the apathy, but i oddly do not feel compelled to write much online. i used to but now ... (shrug)... i want into the Real World.

even though i'm freaked out by that confrontational visit to trader joe's a couple of weeks back, i'm actually EXCITED that they all apparently DID know what my "live free or die" shirt with gritted teeth/bulging eyes star of david on the arms really meant after all! yay! they were just being california passive aggressive and their rage didn't show til some of my blood was in the water.

i'm looking for places and ways that i can use my penchant for drama and causing a scene now that i no longer believe much in marches protests or voting.

x

thanks again,

erika

Re: okay i DO have another specific question...

[kimberlysteele]

Hi erika,

My Ogham say the radio thing is full steam ahead. When asked "Is it going to happen?" They provide Quert or Celebration/Delight well-dignified, which means Yes. I think you are being pushed. Quert is symbolized by the Apple, which is the tree of going your own direction and expressing yourself with joy.

What's up this Week?

[jpc2]

Hi Kimberly,

I've been busy the couple of weeks and haven't had a chance to check in with you and the Ogham.

So what does this week look like?

John - Coop Janitor (and not getting any eggs!)

Re: What's up this Week?

[kimberlysteele]

Hi John,

This week looks mostly good.

For the You position, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. Too much protection means that you are too withdrawn and not connecting enough with the outside world to be truly secure. Too little protection means the vulnerability of recklessness -- keep in mind they aren't necessarily talking about physical protection either, this could very easily be referring to your psychology.

For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. You manage a good balance of purity this week. Just enough to remain sane. Health is often referred to by this card and if this is referring to health, it should be fairly decent this week.

For the Outcome, they give you Tinne or Defense well-dignified. It looks like you rectify your issues from the first card and/or that you are resilient and the Ogham like it. You manage to surround yourself with good people who love you. These good influences, among others, are your true strength.

Week 48

[(Anonymous)]

Hi Kimberly!

What's up for me this week?

Additionally, does the Ogham have anything to say about either my personality, my individuality, or my karma? I'll try to focus the scope of my concern: ... I'm currently on Day 74 of a new phase in my life where I was asked to take a break from a long-distance friendship. From my p.o.v., that now makes 3 closest (albeit long-distance) friendships less than what they once where. I feel like a dog abandoned. I wonder if I irradiate bad energy, am too clingy, or if I'm at fault in any other way.

Thanks,
E.

Re: Week 48

[kimberlysteele]

Hi E.,

This week you drew three cards.

For the You card, you got Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. Your milieu or the background of your life over which you have no control is changing for the better. Hopefully a rising tide will raise your boat a bit.

For the Situation, you got Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. You are not accepting the limits of your situation and that is what you must do in order to move on and thrive. If it's any consolation, I don't have a single friend from my younger days. You need to learn to be happy within the limits of your own company. I suggest taking up a course of occult study -- it's the Path of the Lonely Ones by default and perhaps it can help you to learn more about being content within yourself.

For the Outcome, they provide Gort or Perseverance well-dignified. They say that you do have the good quality of persevering through thick and thin. Once again, I'd apply that loyalty to a field of study such as Druidry, the Octagon Society, Golden Dawn, et. al so you can take advantage of that trait while also working on your tendency to depend on friendships for your sense of well-being.

For Pregnancy Worrier

[kimberlysteele]

Hi PW,

I did not forget about you! I am still praying to Artemis for the well-being of your baby.

This week you drew three cards.

For the You position, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. I take this in the most direct sense to mean that the avenues of communication are open and effective this week. You communicate what you need to say and others are receptive and helpful.

For the Situation, you drew Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. As I have often said, there is no bad side to Duir, just the Ogham reminding you to appreciate what you have, to sublimate your gifts via gratitude, and to always pay it forward.

For the Outcome, you drew Quert or Delight/Celebration well-dignified. With any luck, you'll have reason to celebrate this week and your persistence in following your own path will pay off.
