I am worried about somebody near and dear to me, and consider talking to her and voicing my concerns.
What would the outcome be if I talked to her (or didn‘t talk to her)?
(If it‘s better for the Ogham to phrase the question in another way, e.g. „what would the best course of action be“, then please rephrase at your discretion.)
Thanks!

Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2022-01-11 12:33 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. This points to feeling depressed or dragged down into the mire or the opposite, a feeling like you are over something when it isn't actually the case. (Both imbalances can be present at the same time) The goal will be to honestly assess your emotions and reactions this week so that you have the equipment to deal with them.
For the Situation, you drew Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. You have access to wisdom and because of it you are able to extricate yourself from a great deal of potential suffering. You also do a good job of saying the right thing at the right time and also you manage to keep your mouth shut when speaking is not to your advantage.
For the Outcome, you drew Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. The karma of this week is the culmination of things you had no control over, but a percentage of it is stuff you have control over. Your best bet is to assess the factors you can control and to mold them to your advantage. This card also implies taking responsibility for what has happened is necessary.
For the question of "allowing" his father back on the scene, the Ogham recommend against it. They provide Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified, which means that the close relationship they might have had most likely cannot be rebuilt. The Ogham are recommending that Sonkitten's father should be kept at a distance.
no subject
Date: 2022-01-11 12:38 am (UTC)You drew three cards, all well-dignified.
For the You card, you drew Duir or Gifts well-dignified. You will find yourself in a balance of flow where generosity and privilege are concerned. What you get you will pay forward, and by doing so you will enhance the spirit of abundance all around you.
For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. This is another generosity card and this indicates that you will be gifted this week, but again you will have either already "paid" for it in generosity or it will be en route back to you or both.
For the Outcome, you drew Phagos well-dignified. Phagos means Wisdom. You will have the opportunity to share some of your own mental plane mastery (think of what you are really good at; it is very much not limited to academic fields) and someone else may share their mental plane mastery with you.
no subject
Date: 2022-01-11 12:47 am (UTC)My Ogham recommend Choice B. For Choice A, they give you Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. Choice A clearly creates difficulty; Straif is also Strife and out of balance, it means unwanted stress will arise from Choice A that could have been avoided.
no subject
Date: 2022-01-11 12:50 am (UTC)The Ogham say that it doesn't look good. They give you Eadha or Limits ill-dignified, which means that you will push limits that weren't meant to be pushed or that the limits of the course of action will prove too much.
no subject
Date: 2022-01-11 01:20 am (UTC)
Most excellent, thank you. Correct me if I’m wrong, but you have translated Phagos as “Teaching” once or twice in the past, yes? If so, I think I know exactly what your Ogham are seeing.

Date: 2022-01-11 01:32 am (UTC)Re: Week 2
Date: 2022-01-11 01:45 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. This points to the possibility of a couple of types of imbalance. There may be the urge to overshare, to talk trash, or to generally divulge too much information as a form of social currency. Resist the temptation and take the high road. There also might be the opposite problem of clamming up and not expressing yourself when you truly ought to express yourself. Remember that old song by Simon and Garfunkel, "I am a Rock, I am an Island"? Don't be that guy.
For the Situation, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. You will find allies in people you are acquainted with this week. This could be co-workers, retail workers, family you don't see often, friends of friends, etc. You will feel comfortable and possibly have some opportunities coming at you from that sector.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. One of the plagues of modern life is the urge to do it all. You must pick and choose what you truly love, whether that refers to friends, spouses, the restaurant you're eating at this weekend, or the stuff stored in a drawer. Anything you feel lukewarm about should be excluded. If it's a person, they need to be set free to find people who might love them more than you do. If it is a restaurant, you can't eat at two or more places at the same time. If it is an item in the drawer, it could be of use to someone else and as clutter, it only amasses bad energy, so get rid of it and vow not to re-clutter the space.
Re: What's up this week?
Date: 2022-01-11 01:51 am (UTC)Thank you.
For this week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you got Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. This indicates you'll be heavy handed where you should not be or the opposite problem, that you'll have weak energy or will run away from a problem you were destined to face. Face any challenges this week head-on and try to be cool about it, but not so cool that you shrink away in fear.
For the Situation position, you got Beith or Intention ill-dignified. Craft your intentions carefully this week. When you confront a situation or a person who disagrees with you, try to find common ground. If there is no common ground and/or if they won't budge or play fair, ignore them, go around them, and bless yourself and the people you love with the energy you would have spent hating on them.
For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. This week sees you making wise moves because this isn't your first rodeo. There is no wisdom as good as the kind gained from the School of Hard Knocks.
no subject
Date: 2022-01-11 02:07 am (UTC)For your husband's health, my Ogham provide Quert or Delight ill-dignified. This seems to point to him either being too Spartan about his health regime or the opposite, which means he overindulges and thus undermines his health. Other than that, I will say no more because I cannot go into health issues here.
For the Southeast, they provide Ioho ill-dignified. Ioho is Grace. When it is ill-dignified, it points to not being able to let go of what was not meant for you or the opposite imbalance of letting go without enough of a fight. He may have to work much harder than he thought in the Southeast or the environment may end up being bad for his personal health.
For the question of next week, my Ogham say Yes, you should divide and take W & S to the event. They give you Tinne or Defense well-dignified, which is saying "divide and you shall conquer!"
For the north of Atlanta, they say it is a decent choice. They give Eadha or Limits well-dignified, which means that it won't be beyond your wildest dreams or anything, but it will suit you well enough to get along for a while.
For Europe, they say no, you should go and close it yourself. They give you Duir or Gifts ill-dignified, which suggests that you will be protected and blessed if you choose to take care of it yourselves. Because it is Duir, you also have the option of letting your friends do it, but you will owe them big time.
no subject
Date: 2022-01-11 02:13 am (UTC)For talking to her, they give Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. This is a matter best left to her and her alone. She may need this experience as part of her karma, so it is best to stand out of the way. Maybe try to gently let her know you are there for her -- often this can be done in subtext without saying a word (at least that's how we do it in the Midwest). Leave the door open.
For not talking to her, they provide Muin or Harvest well-dignified. By letting her "ripen" this by herself, you are giving her the freedom she needs to resolve this experience.
Re: Crossroads
Date: 2022-01-11 02:21 am (UTC)For the first strategy, they provide Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. This points to either not having the wherewithal to follow through on the first strategy or having the problem of the psychology of previous investment, meaning pouring energy into a dead end.
For the second strategy, they provide Ngetal ill-dignified. Strategy two isn't healthy. There is some kind of sepsis going on, whether physical, etheric, or astral or all three. There is also the possibility of overreaction to sepsis, meaning you end up throwing out the baby with the bathwater by trying to eliminate the original problem.
For the third strategy, they provide Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified. This way is littered with bad advice and the blind leading the blind. There is also the possibility of burning a bridge or misunderstanding a sign.
If there's a fourth way, you should try and find it!
no subject
Date: 2022-01-11 02:26 am (UTC)My Ogham think you should stick it out in your homeland, at least for now. They give you Tinne or Defense ill-dignified for the foreign country thing, meaning that you'll find yourself vulnerable and cut off from connections you need in order to thrive.
no subject
Date: 2022-01-11 02:28 am (UTC)My Ogham think he'll have to face charges for what he has done. They provide Koad or Grove well-dignified, meaning that by his own mistakes and factors he cannot control, he will be punished for what he has done. Nevertheless, Trudeau is a many-headed hydra. Cut off one head and two more spring up in its place. Just as Fauci is the modern day Mengele. New face on the same old attitude.
Re: Getting on going
Date: 2022-01-11 02:31 am (UTC)Re: Could I get a reading please?
Date: 2022-01-11 03:07 am (UTC)I'll give you two readings! One for me and one for you.
For me this week, it's a big old crap sandwich. All three cards were ill-dignified. Think of each card as an Aristotelian ternary of two opposite vices with the middle being a balanced state. The Ogham are warning me that I will easily swing into imbalance this week if I allow it to happen.
For the You card (me) I got Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. Eadha is symbolized by the Aspen, a tree that shivers and quakes from the slightest wind. This means I need to stay in my lane this week -- there will be pressure on me to clean up every mess and I'll be pulled this way and that. They are saying I need to assert my limits and say "Hard No". I cannot be all things to all people. They also might be pointing to something I want that is out of reach, though for me I don't see that as being as much of a potential imbalance this week. It's probably the first thing I mentioned, feeling pressured.
For the Situation, I got Luis or Protection ill-dignified. Luis is symbolized by the Maple in my updated Prairie Ogham but it is Rowan in the old Celtic one. Either way, the trees are protective, magical, and graceful. Luis talks about not listening to my better self (it's the card of the Holy Guardian Angel) or of being at actual physical risk or astral risk. The astral plane is septic right now so it's not shocking to hear that I'll need to wear an amulet this week, maybe take a hoodoo bath, and generally be aware of threats.
For the Outcome, I drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. Quert is a tree of gratitude for the little things and talks about attention to detail. If I were younger, it might be talking about some hot romantic action because it is a card sacred to Aphrodite. Think of the delicate beauty of the apple tree's flowers which turn to nourishing apples in Fall. This card being ill-dignified is warning me to take time for myself this week. I need to "stop and smell the roses" and not be such a hard-ass, lest I become brittle.
Now I could tell the Ogham were poking a bit of fun because your reading was all well-dignified. No crap sandwich for you! Keep in mind I have had sketchy weeks with all well-dignified cards, but overall it should be pretty good this week.
For the You position, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. You'll regret something you experienced just enough not to make the same mistake again. This also points to productive discursive meditation this week if you do that. Ruis is symbolized by the Elder in the Old Ogham and by Black Walnut in mine. Both are formidable trees that belong to the fairies. There is great wisdom in regret -- rather than wallowing in it, choose to pick yourself up, resolve it with an "I don't do that anymore" and use the regret as a thrust block to propel you to better and brighter things.
For the Situation, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. Onn is Gorse in the old Ogham and Monarda in my Prairie Ogham. I chose Monarda because it is the most common prairie plant (ubiquitous like the common folk) and pollinators and other animals love and depend upon it. You will find harmony in the world of acquaintances this week. This could be people at the store, co-workers, extended family members, or people online. Sitting well in your niche opens doors for you, and if you can muster some kind words for all you meet, you will find that the kindness returns to you in various forms.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. Saille is symbolized by the Willow tree, so when I was meditating on trees for this card, I thought of how willow branches don't snap and break in windy weather like maples and oaks. Their flexibility gets them through storms. You are flexible where you need to be flexible this week, but you avoid the mistake of being indiscriminate, which sits you in a place of harmony and balance. Though we are often trained to be indiscriminate, it's OK to choose only what you love and mercilessly exclude everything else. You say No where it is needed and it ends up giving you a big advantage.
Re: Reading
Date: 2022-01-11 03:15 am (UTC)Your week looks like mine... it will be a doozy. All three cards were ill-dignified.
For the You card, you got Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. The Ogham are saying "be careful" in all things, take extra precautions, go slowly and carefully. When this card pops up, it usually means there is danger lurking about. The opposite imbalance is being over-defensive and ruled by fear, which in its ironic way puts you in danger as well.
For the Situation card, you got Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. There may be an urge to rush to completion where no completion was in the forecast for this time. It's also possible to have a bad harvest, meaning you had lousy intentions that met their inevitable end. Additionally, Muin can point out the psychology of previous investment, meaning slogging through in bad faith when that situation would be better off ended.
For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. There is frustration about not knowing something truly or there could be arrogance about knowledge that draws the wrath of the gods like Arachne and her weaving. Take a humble attitude and accept what you don't know and you will be fine.

Date: 2022-01-11 03:17 am (UTC)They give Coll or Wisdom well-dignified, meaning it demonstrates intelligence and diligence to release him into the infinite, somewhere far away from her.

Date: 2022-01-11 03:23 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You card, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. You'll be tempted to open your mouth when you should remain silent... don't! My Ogham have saved me worlds of trouble by showing me this card on days when I felt entitled to yap.
For the Situation, you drew Beith or Beginnings well-dignified. You'll have a unity and focus of intention, and because this is in Situation, others will help you achieve your goals in large and small ways.
For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. You'll have opportunity to share some of the knowledge you earned in blood, sweat, and tears and/or someone will share their hard-earned knowledge with you. A trade of this nature is very good for the soul.
For Pregnancy Worrier
Date: 2022-01-11 03:32 am (UTC)Thanks for the feedback on last week!
This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you got Nuin or Communication well-dignified. Good advice comes to you from the world of strangers. You have an ally far off you don't even know about (this could be a human ally or a non-embodied entity).
For the Situation, you drew Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. There isn't a bad side to Duir. Ill-dignified, it is usually talking about privilege and the need to pay it forward. This could be privilege you are enjoying or it could be privilege you are giving to someone else, for instance your children. Sometimes we give gifts in hopes that the people receiving them will learn the benefit of giving.
For the Outcome, you got Ruis or Regret well-dignified. Being around the block once or twice helps you this week. You know where you went wrong in the past, so you see the error well before it happens, whether it is your's or someone else's.
no subject
Date: 2022-01-11 07:33 am (UTC)Thank you to the Ogham for the advice, and to you in particular for the link - that was a wonderful and very insightful piece of writing. I watched Fargo many, many years ago and have it in fond memories, especially for all the subtexts.
One slightly unrelated question if I may, even though Monday is over: Where did you get your Ogham from? Are they homemade?
I should get some to work with John MIchael Greers Druid books, but the cards I’ve seen don‘t really speak to me, and I like your little „stones“ or chips which are shown on the photos. Something along those lines might be better for me right now…

Date: 2022-01-11 01:45 pm (UTC)Well, there's no doubt regarding the accuracy of the oracle - you've put into words precisely the difficulty I am having with this decision.
Sorry but I have to ask: can the Ogham shed any light on which direction(s) I might look in to find that fourth strategy?
