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! I take reading requests until 8pm Central Time (Chicago Illinois USA) on Sunday night.
Reading requests are concluded for the week of April 10... please feel free to comment on existing threads though and please join me next week for more free Ogham readings.

Re: Week 15
Date: 2022-04-11 12:00 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards for this week.
For the You or most immediate position, they provide Luis or Protection well-dignified. You have a clear connection to your higher self this week. You are presented with opportunities to look honestly at the times you have gone astray and to understand the lessons that were once required to become aligned with your true path.
For the Situation, they provide Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. There may be a temptation to reveal too much of yourself or to give away too many of your plans before they are hatched. The opposite potential imbalance is to aggrandize one's role as a hermit -- sometimes shunning the company of others can be rooted in laziness or absurd fears.
For the Outcome, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. This is a good week to be able to see through the veil of bulls**t that plagues most people's minds. It is also a call to rid yourself of excess baggage, be it emotional, physical, or in-between.

Re: Advice for week
Date: 2022-04-11 12:11 am (UTC)This looks like a nice week for you. All three cards were well-dignified. That said, I have had crappy days on all well-dig readings as well as great days on all ill-dig readings, so please take it with a grain of salt.
For the You position, you drew Beith or Intention. When well-dignified, the Ogham are saying that your intentions are becoming more focused and the thought you put into them makes them well-crafted. Much of the astral miasma that plagues our era comes from masses of people with ill-thought out (or not thought out at all) intentions.
For the Situation position, you drew Tinne or Defense. You are understanding the true nature of the boundaries between yourself and elements of your world. Again, most people haven't the faintest clue about where they end and how or why they can affect the world they live in. When you know what is you and what is not you, it makes it much easier for you to defend your borders, and it also makes it easier for your spirit guides to act on your behalf.
For the Outcome, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. The flow of abundance that comes in matches that which goes out this week. When the forces are in balance (much of this has to do with your perception of them) it means that if you tip the balance and give freely and from the heart, it will amplify quickly through you and send the same energy of generosity up and down the planes.

Date: 2022-04-10 08:11 am (UTC)Last week, I asked you about a side job, and the Ogham advised against it, suggesting I pursue self-employment instead. I've been thinking about that for some time, in fact, and need to decide between two options (or maybe there's a way to do both, I don't know).
One is to earn money by writing (both fiction writing, and "boring" stuff like content writing). I love writing fiction way more than writing web articles, but I'm confident that I have the skill for it, and it would provide a more steady income than trying to self-/publish a novel.
The other option is to qualify as an alternative healing practitioner for animals (acupuncture, for example); the downside here is that I'd have to invest money first to take classes. On the other hand, I could offer my service in the veterinary practice where I'm working now (in fact, they asked me to do that).
What does the oracle say?
no subject
Date: 2022-04-11 12:23 am (UTC)For becoming a content writer, they give Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. This indicates that you'll indeed be bored by that sort of writing and it will become drudgery or that your skills won't match your assignments.
For offering your service at the vet practice after taking classes, they provide Luis or Protection ill-dignified. This indicates that there is some danger in either investing the money or in offering the service.
I asked the Ogham what area you should be researching: they suggest streaming content. For streaming, they provide Duir or Gifts well-dignified. I personally only stream the Orphic Hymns (me playing guitar and singing on Youtube) on a once or twice a week basis so I really don't know much about streaming. I do watch some streamers who are political commentators, but again, other than that I'm a know-nothing on the subject.

Date: 2022-04-11 12:34 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you got Koad or Confluence well-dignified. If we took a snapshot of your life this week, it would look pretty good. Part of that result is what you've put in place and part is luck. It is a good week to look at what you've done right that led to this outcome.
For the Situation, you drew OÃr or Epiphany well-dignified. You have a moment of clarity this week where it will be possible to be enlightened on the small scale. You could come to a needed realization about yourself, someone else, or the past (this could be painful) or you might see a way around a difficult situation.
For the Outcome, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. There are two possibilities on the spectrum of imbalance: one is the psychology of previous investment, where you keep on doing the same old thing the same old way hoping for a different result. The other is feeling worn out by one of life's challenges. In my case, I often draw this card when my bank account is thin.

Date: 2022-04-11 12:49 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards regarding your upcoming season.
For the You or most immediate position, they provide Ioho or Grace well-dignified. You'll have the good nature and the skill required to let go of that which is not meant to be or that which is not happening naturally.
For the Situation, a card that refers to all the factors influencing you or trying to influence you, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. This points to an ability to keep yourself above the fray despite distractions. It also indicates a level head.
For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. When obstacles arise, the urge to deal with them can be imbalanced in a couple of ways. One way is that you simply lack the energy to handle them, and in that case, I suggest propitiating or praying to Ares. The other way is that you are tempted to force things, or to go to war (obviously not literal war, metaphorical war) when you should stay cool. The best course is to meditate on the best course of action the Stoic way, by imagining best and worst case scenarios ahead of time and deeply contemplating them.

Date: 2022-04-11 12:56 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. There is the temptation to spill too much information in hopes of being liked or because it feels good... just say no. On the opposite potential of imbalance, Ur can point to I am a Rock, I am an Island syndrome where the hermitic urge goes into overdrive. If so, don't retire to that private island just yet, but take the necessary time for yourself so you can remain happy and sane.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. This card for me often means depression or irritation. It may be hard to be your best self. The opposite danger of imbalance is false transcendence. False transcendence is where you insist to yourself that things are going better than they actually are. The Ogham suggest it is helpful to be honest, even if it means admitting you're not happy.
For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. You are prepared mentally for the obstacles of life, and mental preparation is more important and useful than the physical sort. Maybe it is because it isn't your first rodeo. However you got here, you are well-equipped to handle troubles in the best way possible this week.

Date: 2022-04-10 12:38 pm (UTC)I enjoyed your article about Elle Woods. I am a few years older than you but agree our generation could have used more role models like Elle!
I’d be happy to hear what your Ogham want me to know about the upcoming week,
Thanks for your time and effort.
Blessings to you and yours,

Date: 2022-04-11 01:05 am (UTC)For the You or most immediate position, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. This week may have a Saturnine, punishing, heavy cast to it. It's either that or you'll overindulge, play hooky, and party too hard. Hopefully it's the second one... in either case, small gratitudes add up to a life well-lived this week, and moderation in all things, of course.
For the Situation, you drew OÃr or Epiphany well-dignified. OÃr signifies an opportunity to be enlightened to a reality that was previously obfuscated or misunderstood. Since it is Situation, the epiphany could be happening to someone close to you.
For the Outcome or Karma, you drew Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. Overall, things will start to look up. Your milieu improves and a rising tide lifts all ships. Since this is in the Karma position, unlike Situation or You position, this card is the result of what you've put in place, though not entirely.

Date: 2022-04-11 01:12 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. This indicates a depressing week or the temptation to sink to a lower level instead of taking the high road. On the other side of the spectrum of imbalance, it warns of false transcendence, which means papering over the state of affairs with bogus positivity instead of looking them in the eye.
For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. You are in touch with your higher self this week and the decisions you make, large and small, will be blessed because of it. Nevertheless, the mere presence of this card means there may be threats lurking, so be aware of harmful influences seeking their way in.
For the Outcome, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. Nuin is good things from the world of strangers, meeting new people, and giving help and courage to those you don't know. It's also a tree letter of the benefits of technology and readily available information working in your favor.

What would the outcome be if I didn’t talk to my family anymore?
Thank you.
no subject
Date: 2022-04-11 01:16 am (UTC)They give you Ioho or Grace. Ioho, symbolized by the Yew in both my Prairie Ogham and the Celtic Ogham, is a card of endings and letting go. Grace is not an easy state to achieve (the Ogham never said anything about easy!) but releasing your family into the infinite will extend grace into other parts of your life. Some things were not meant to be. The old must die in order for the new to be born.

Date: 2022-04-10 02:56 pm (UTC)Do I have anything more to learn from N or is it best to move on from them?
Thank you - Rohini
no subject
Date: 2022-04-11 01:18 am (UTC)They provide Phagos or Teaching well-dignified in response to your question. You've learned what you need to from N and it is likely the lesson will be ongoing even though N's direct involvement in your life will not.
Hi Kimberly,
Date: 2022-04-10 03:53 pm (UTC)1. what's up this week?
2. Is my recent conclusion regarding H correct?
3. What do they say about my idea of relocating to KT?
Re: Hi Kimberly,
Date: 2022-04-11 01:29 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. The in-flow and out-flow of abundance will match this week. What you have given, you will receive and what you receive, you will give. Abundance is almost always a matter of perception. Who is the most generous person you know? Who is the least? What do their lives look like because of their attitude towards abundance?
For the Situation, you drew Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. There is no bad side to Duir. If ill-dignified, it indicates you tipping the balance and giving of yourself so generously that the energy reverberates and sublimates through the planes. If it is the opposite side of a Duir "imbalance", it means being genuinely thankful and appreciative for one's privileges, which also has the effect of sublimating them.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. You have the gift of perception this week. You are able to separate what is important from what can be put aside or left behind. It's a good week to rid yourself of all sorts of baggage, whether emotional or physical.
To your question number 2, my Ogham seem to think it's a Yes. They give you Huath or Obstacles well-dignified, which indicates that you are perceiving the matter correctly.
To your third question, they don't like it. They give you Muin or Harvest ill-dignified, which indicates trouble making it work in KT.
Re: Hi Kimberly,
Date: 2022-04-11 02:04 am (UTC)Thank you very much for your time and efforts!
This week…

Re: This week…
Date: 2022-04-11 02:01 am (UTC)For the You position, you drew Eadha or Limits. When ill-dignified, it means that either you'll push outside of reasonable limits (and not in a good way) or you will have the opposite problem of not pushing enough.
For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. Unlike Duir, when Uilleand is ill-dignified, it isn't good. It means that someone will smother you or you will do the smothering with love, affection, material gifts, privilege, or attention. As the word "smother" implies, you can have too much of a good thing. On the opposite side of imbalance, someone (potentially you) may feel neglected, which is the equally bad flip side of smothering. Because this card is Situation, it could be talking about someone close to you.
For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles. There will be the temptation to force your way around or through a problem, the Way of the Hard Ass, or potentially the opposite imbalance, which is a too-soft approach that isn't enough. Moderation and discernment are in order -- try to do as much contemplation as possible beforehand if you feel forced to make a move.

Date: 2022-04-11 02:15 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you got Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. The condition of your general surroundings is degraded this week, and this isn't anything that you can control, nor did you have anything to do with it becoming degraded. Just be on the lookout for bad luck -- it's a bad week to make any major decisions or purchases.
For the Situation, you got OÃr or Epiphany ill-dignified. I believe this is a card that is repeatedly coming up in your readings, so it is probably trying to tell you something. OÃr is a card of self-realization and self-actualization. It reminds you to be honest with yourself even when that isn't the most fun or pleasant thing to do. Because this is Situation, it could be talking about someone close to you.
For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. There is some part of the mental plane that reaches out to you and it gives you the invitation to master at least one part of it. The skill in question could be just about anything that can be mastered: it could be a literal skill such as crocheting or a subtle art, like sensing moods.

Date: 2022-04-11 02:23 am (UTC)This week could be a doozy. All three cards were ill-dignified, but like I've said many times, the Ogham might be able to warn you early enough so you can make the best out of what could have been a bad week.
For the You position, you drew Ioho or Grace. Ill-dignified, it often means burning the candle at both ends or needing more rest than you want to allot to yourself. In the same spirit, you are reminded to let go of that which is past its prime or not meant for you. On the opposite side of imbalance, Ioho could mean resting too much or letting go too easily, a.k.a. laziness.
For the Situation, you drew Ur or Intimacy. In this dignity, Ur warns of divulging too much information, perhaps in an effort to be liked. As this is in Situation, it could be warning of discord and distress concerning the person closest to you.
For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. Too much Straif is strife: you are called upon to use up your reserves when crap hits the fan. Too little Straif is complacency: you have a glut of privilege that is looking a bit like a hoarding situation and the Ogham suggest paying it forward.

Date: 2022-04-10 11:49 pm (UTC)Im doing the 4th option as Ogham implyed. So far, so good.
Im now developing a deep concern over the other one. Will i need to change flavors or will the course end prematurely?
PLK
no subject
Date: 2022-04-11 02:25 am (UTC)My Ogham think you'll need to change flavors. For that, they give Ur or Intimacy well-dignified, which is saying play it close to the vest and keep your reasons to yourself: you don't owe anyone an explanation. My Ogham don't seem to think the course will end prematurely. They provide Eadha or Limits ill-dignified in response to that question.
Finally remembered you switched to Sundays
Date: 2022-04-11 01:18 am (UTC)Hope all is well!
How are things in general for me?
And then any insight into 1) a thing that is bugging me, and 2) a person that is bugging me?
Thanks
Re: Finally remembered you switched to Sundays
Date: 2022-04-11 03:04 am (UTC)For the You position, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. This is most likely the Ogham warning you to be careful about your health and well-being because of the presence of threats. There is also the possibility of an opposite imbalance of paranoia where you're too concerned about health and well-being, but I don't think that is the case. Better to be safe than sorry for the current era. When I was going to climb on the edge of my bed to get to a high shelf, my cat Kiki actually sent a message into my brain from beyond to get the stepladder because she didn't want me to be injured. It's that sort of message you need to pay attention to.
For the Situation, you drew Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. You have an opportunity to look at what you've earned the hard way so that you may understand other things that also can only be won the hard way. What did it take to get where you are now? Because of the "knowledge quilt" you've scrapped together, you have wisdom.
For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community ill-dignified. Onn in this dignity means feeling restless and either that your community isn't serving you -- you're not fitting well into the niche that's been carved out for you, or they are asking too much. Onn ill-dignified is tension with neighbors, co-workers, people in the service industry you interact with, and other semi-strangers.
In response to your question about 1) the thing that is bugging you, my Ogham provide Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. The thing that is bugging you is an experience meant to add to your knowledge quilt so you can gain more wisdom. You'll have to suffer through it and work through it, but there are lessons to be learned from it. For 2) a person that is bugging you, they provide Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. There is nothing to be gained from this person, and any harvest will be a bitter one.
