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.
************Ogham readings are concluded for the week of May 15, but feel free to comment on existing posts. See you next week for more free Ogham readings!*************

Date: 2022-05-15 03:39 am (UTC)Hi Kimberly,
What will the outcome be if I go on a date with the person that asked me out?
Thank you for your time.
no subject
Date: 2022-05-16 01:40 am (UTC)It's a mix.
For the You position, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. This means that you'll go out with this person as an act of generosity more than a leap of faith. Though the card was well-dignified, it is the sort of influence that can easily become imbalanced. I believe the Ogham are warning that one of you has a tendency to smother and get over-attached.
For the Situation, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. The best way to approach this situation is to meditate on your past relationships and your views on dating/romance to get a clear picture of what is going on. It's not too much to envision all possibilities from absolute best to absolute worst. I would certainly hold off on anything more than a casual date until these themes are thoroughly explored in meditation.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. This is the one that has me most concerned and it's why I'm reading the other two cards as cautionary. Saille is the card of Aphrodite. If she's ill-dignified, it means that this relationship that starts as a single date may not be what is best for you. It also could be a trip down a path that prevents you from meeting someone who would be a better fit or that generally goes south.
Week 20
Date: 2022-05-15 04:21 am (UTC)What do I need to know in order to make the best out of this week?
Thanks!

Re: Week 20
Date: 2022-05-16 01:51 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. This is a good week to attempt communications with your Higher Self/Holy Guardian Angel. You act in accordance to your best self this week, neither demanding too much from yourself nor too little. Take note of how you treat yourself this week. In future weeks when you're not feeling so level-headed or mature, you can look back to this week as a point of balance to emulate.
For the Situation, you drew Oír or Epiphany well-dignified. You have a necessary realization and/or someone close to you has a necessary realization. This Eureka! moment may be painful but it is essential to get on with life. The best thing you can do with this realization is to record it in your journals and meditate on why it was put in your way.
For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. There may be temptation to speak too much of your mind. The Ogham are giving you the heads up so you know to keep your mouth shut at the right time. There could also be a time when you're feeling you need more time alone to recharge and not getting it or the opposite problem where you'll crave someone to talk to when it's just not possible to do that.

Re: Hi Kimberly
Date: 2022-05-16 02:04 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Oír or Epiphany. You'll have a realization this week that overall will be for the best, though that is not to say it will be painless. It's a good week to look at important epiphanies you've had during this incarnation and how they changed your direction.
For the Situation position, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. It will be easy this week to rush through life and take the sweet parts for granted. Don't let that happen to you. Though it's not right to cling to every moment, appreciating the now for what it is means constantly acting in gratitude. Slow down, let impatient people stew in their own juices as nothing will ever make them happy anyway, and put worry in its proper place.
For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. Being around the block a few times has its advantages this week. Maybe you're able to head off a bad situation at the pass or maybe you're able to give sage advice. Whatever it is, it's your past experience that has made you wiser and better.

Date: 2022-05-16 02:09 am (UTC)My Ogham give you two cards for your holiday, both ill-dignified.
For the You card, you drew Koad or Confluence. The holiday is looking a bit troubled, so you need to keep in mind that the only thing you can truly control is the way you react. Try to maintain a sense of grace and do your best to prepare ahead, such as bringing snacks and water, packing very light, and being prepared for all outcomes.
For the Others card, you drew Oír or Epiphany. Ill-dignified, this indicates there will be stupid/bad people or errors made that there is no way you can get around.

Date: 2022-05-15 01:50 pm (UTC)No request this week, just a report on my international trip to visit family. You had predicted difficulty in the beginning, good communication (or tech working well), and transcendence or overall it being worth doing.
The trip went well, and indeed on the way down there was a 1+hr traffic fully-stopped huge accident. However, the return actually had nearly 3 hours of jams, blockages, and unusually bad traffic, so I'd say it was worse, in fact. However, I had no issues at the border in either direction which I consider to be, if not a miracle, at the least a favourable intervention from the gods and possibly my guardian angel (who works overtime whenever I'm on the road, I've noticed), to whom I give thanks.
I do not consider tech to have worked "well" - at least according to the mapping/gps software and several times I had to override it and follow either my instincts or other maps to get around problems. When I didn't follow my instincts tech lead me into the worst of the jams. I receive that lesson loud and clear. :) I also had poor cell/data coverage in some situations where it was most needed, but I was able to transcend all of these issues.
Overall, I do consider the trip worthwhile, and I'm glad I made it. I wouldn't want to do it again too soon, though!
Thanks so much for your readings and your thoughtful commentary here, too.

Date: 2022-05-15 02:45 pm (UTC)Mostly I'm wondering about my relationship with friend P. Should I just give him space? Or reach out inspite of him pushing people away? Should I stick to my position or reconsider it?
I'm also worried about a group tradition I've been cultivating. What should I focus on to keep it together?
And on a less important note should I double down on my investment, staying for the long haul? Or keep diversifying into safer things?
Thanks again for taking the time to help give everyone guidance.

no subject
Date: 2022-05-16 02:16 am (UTC)My Ogham give you Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified where your friend P. is concerned. You should gently reach out to him only to let him know you're there for him and then back off (with expectations that he tells you to shove off). Once the ball is in his court, leave it all up to him, forever if necessary.
For your group tradition, they provided Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. The group isn't communicating well or isn't able to use technology to its benefit well enough. The Ogham ask if you're able to analyze your own motivations and needs. Are there other ways you can keep the group tradition alive?
For the investment, they are thinking you should stick with it and double down. They provide Uilleand or Generosity, meaning the Ogham think it's a good use of your resources at this time.
no subject
Date: 2022-05-16 09:37 am (UTC)I agree with the assessment on our group, I'll have to figure out a way to communicate and coordinate better.
As for the investment, that's good news. The last few months have been pretty shaky. I'll keep up my strategy for adding to it.
Thanks so much for your time and insights! All the best to you and yours.

Date: 2022-05-15 02:58 pm (UTC)1. What's up this week?
2. What'll be the outcome if I defer, for the moment, from AA initiation and instead apply to BOTA right now, taking the next few years to become better grounded in Qabalah & meditation, and to fill the other gaps in my knowledge?
no subject
Date: 2022-05-16 02:28 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. Overall, your outlook is sane and balanced this week. Ngetal can also be talking about robust physical health, but this is usually less the case than it is talking about rational, grounded psychological states.
For the Situation, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. It is tempting to take small things and little moments for granted this week. Since this is in Situation, it could be talking about you feeling that you are taken for granted or that someone close to you feels you take them for granted. Small courtesies and kindnesses make the world go round. They are acts of gratitude. Without them, the world would be a much more terrible place.
For the Outcome, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. You are pushed beyond your reasonable limits or you feel constrained by what limits are put on you or both. The best remedy when outside forces are trying to breach or push your limits is to use the power of limits to your advantage. By showing the gods that you can work within limits, you create the energy of working within limits around yourself which repels those who don't understand limits.
For your second question, my Ogham don't like it. They give you Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified, which means they think you should go forward with AA and that not doing so will result in a lesson learned the hard way instead of the easy one.

Date: 2022-05-16 02:51 am (UTC)For the You position, you drew Quert or Delight. One side of a Quert imbalance is thinking that "someone" needs to help you come up with a solution to feeling dull, listless, or bored. The other side is running yourself so hard that you're ready to collapse.
For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection. One side of a Luis imbalance is not being protected enough: you or a loved one may be at risk this week, so take extra cautions and don't make your Holy Guardian Angel work overtime protecting you. The other side is drowning in pointless worry and paranoia. You said your son is a worrywart -- this could be referring to his anxiety.
For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest. Two potential imbalances here have to do with the perception of abundance: Parsimony and fear over a lack of abundance works the same way as dieting. Dieting does not work because it's a formula for obsessing about food. Cutting all unnecessary spending makes you think about money and the lack of it constantly. Better to find something else to occupy your thoughts and your time. The other imbalance overindulgence and throwing all caution to the wind. My husband used to binge eat and only stopped when he realized it was killing him. Thank heavens he stopped doing that -- he has type 2 diabetes and I swear bingeing/purging are to diabetes are what bread is to butter or salt is to pepper.

Date: 2022-05-16 02:52 am (UTC)My Ogham seem to think you will meet your friend. They provide Fearn or Bridge well-dignified, which means fate seems to have your meeting in store.

no subject
Date: 2022-05-16 03:00 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You card, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. Good things come to you from the world of strangers this week. Nuin in this dignity indicates technology works the way it ought to, but this is in no way guaranteed. Overall, it talks about the benefits derived from being able to reach those who are far away or to exchange goods and services with them.
For the Situation, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. You or someone close to you is frustrated by a lack of knowledge. There may be the temptation to talk too much, to cast pearls before swine, or just generally to stick your foot in your mouth. Consider this ample warning to keep silent when the time comes!
For the Outcome, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. Your sense of humor makes everything better this week. A bird's eye view is not one completely without emotion as some may mistakenly think. Instead it is emotion with perspective. Perspective makes all the difference.

Date: 2022-05-16 03:10 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. There are a couple of potential imbalances here: one is feeling embattled or forced into constant fight-or-flight response. The other is being too nice and surrendering too easily. It's OK to say NO and draw hard limits when it comes to your time. You don't have to be rude, only firm.
For the Situation position, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. The world of semi-strangers is helpful and kind to you or someone close to you this week. You manage to fit in well to a particular niche. How can you use your comfort with certain groups of people to your advantage that is mutually beneficial to all parties this week?
For the Outcome, you drew Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. There will be some things that just aren't great this week and to some degree you will have caused them, but there will be other parts wholly out of your control. Your job is to figure out what little you can control and to make improvements wherever possible.

Thank you,

no subject
Date: 2022-05-16 03:19 am (UTC)The Ogham give you three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. When imbalanced, Ngetal can be talking about actual physical risk, so it's a good week to be extra careful about what you eat, how you use transportation, and to take immune boosting measures. It can also be talking about mentally unhealthy habits such as addictive behaviors, self-pity, or overconfidence.
For the Situation position, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. Your Holy Guardian Angel is more easily communicated with than usual this week. It is a good week to meditate on the times you've sensed your HGA in your life. It is my belief we talk to our HGAs every night during sleep. One part of consciousness goes off to the astral to dream while the subtler part goes and hangs out with the HGA, and that is the part we don't remember at all. The primary difference is the people whose lives are train wrecks don't allow the HGA's advice to filter through down to physical existence.
For the Outcome, you drew Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. Unfortunately no matter what you do this week, all around you there will be mayhem and drama because that's just the state of the world at the moment. It's a bad week to make any major purchases or life decisions. Be content to meditate this week and put off any big decisions until a more propitious time.
Job advice
Date: 2022-05-15 07:45 pm (UTC)I have a bit of a conundrum - I've just started a new job (which we'll call job A), which is stable and pays well, but isn't that exciting, but I have also just been told about another job (which we'll call job B) which is kind of my dream job but pays less and for a number of reasons is less convenient from a lifestyle perspective. I would probably be very likely to get job B if I were to apply for it.
Could I ask for a recommendation from the Ogham on what to do?
Thank you.
Re: Job advice
Date: 2022-05-16 03:24 am (UTC)What is the Outcome of keeping Job A?
My Ogham give you Nuin or Communication ill-dignified, which means that Job A has lots of corporate stiff types who will always be strangers to you because that sort of environment is not conducive to true human connection.
What is the Outcome of going for Job B?
My Ogham give you Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. This means Job B will not be easy AT ALL but it will be 100 percent worth the long term struggles and the trouble.
Re: Job advice
Date: 2022-05-16 09:18 pm (UTC)To be honest, it was actually almost exactly what I was already thinking about the two jobs, so it's really good to have that validated - looks like I'll be getting my application ready in that case!
Thank you once again both for doing these readings, and for your insightful analyses on them as well.
Would you like me to offer a prayer for you, or to any other cause of your choosing?

Re: Annette
Date: 2022-05-16 03:30 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified. Sometimes there is no way around the stupid people or stupid things, and this may be one of those weeks. Oír might also be talking about false epiphanies, thinking you've got something settled that isn't done yet, or a painful realization.
For the Situation, you drew Ioho or Grace well-dignified. You do a good job this week of exemplifying maturity and patience. You let go of that which is not meant for you and your attitude is one of dignity.
For the Outcome, you drew Mór or Sea Change. Overall, things are coming up roses all around you this week and a rising tide lifts all boats. It's a good week to make a big decision or to make a major purchase.

Date: 2022-05-15 10:34 pm (UTC)Apologies if you do not wish to answer this question, since it pertains to death.
I have an aunt who's just gone into hospice and has perhaps weeks to live. Do the Ogham say anything about a smooth and safe transition into the afterlife state and next incarnation?
no subject
Date: 2022-05-16 03:37 am (UTC)My Ogham say her transition may not be all that smooth. They provide Quert or Delight ill-dignified, which means that your aunt might be frightened or that her caretakers could make mistakes.
I asked if there is anything that could be done and my Ogham say No. They provide Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified, which means that any attempt to control what happens to your aunt will be futile from your end.
I suggest that if you have a relationship with a deity, you pray for her smooth transition through the Gates. Once she dies, the gods will ensure that she is met by the proper guides and is eased through the process. Unfortunately, the hardest part is the run-up to dying because our culture has such a warped set of attitudes concerning death.

Date: 2022-05-16 03:49 am (UTC)Thanks for the feedback! You drew three well-dignified cards this week. Overall, my Ogham think it will be a balanced week for you and that you'll handle any drama with grace and ease.
For the You card, they provided Ngetal or Hygiene. You owe your good health and your sane mental state entirely to yourself, so give yourself a pat on the back and have a treat. Basically a balanced Ngetal is the person who has the good sense to wash their hands, but does not go overboard by scrubbing like they're a surgeon readying to operate on someone's brain.
For the Situation position you drew Muin or Harvest. Something comes to fruition this week either for you or someone close to you. You see the fruits of your labor. Keep in mind fruits aren't always physical. One of my pet projects has been working on my memory, which is lousy. If I remember someone's name, if I don't forget where I put my phone for a solid month, or any other memory achievement, I try to reward myself for it by getting myself a matcha latte or taking a candlelit bath or some other thing I like. You might consider doing the same this week to reward your achievements.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity. This is a great card to draw because it means that this week you exemplify what it is to be flexible that bends without breaking. The strength of the Willow tree (Saille is the Willow) is in its flexibility. Willow isn't infinitely flexible, but it accommodates when necessary. This is a good week to get rid of that which does not spark joy, to quote Marie Kondo, because that way you can focus on what you truly love.
The Week Ahead
Date: 2022-05-15 10:46 pm (UTC)I hope this finds you well. I’ve had an ominous feeling all day about the week ahead. It might be the eclipse tonight, astral crud or nothing at all. Can you tell what the Ogham says about the upcoming week?
Steve C
Re: The Week Ahead
Date: 2022-05-16 04:01 am (UTC)For the You position, you drew Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. The world of strangers is obstinately unfriendly this week, but it's nothing to get terribly worried about. There may be difficulties with technology, surly sales clerks, malfunctioning websites, etc. Or maybe there is a general inability to get your message to the masses if you're into that.
For the Situation, you drew Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. You will be made aware of your privilege, and the way to react to it is not to feel guilty but to pay forward your privilege. For every gift you pay forward, you enhance the energy of that gift seven times along the planes and it inevitably comes back in your direction amplified. That's why the most generous people are always the happiest and kindest, no matter what their economic circumstances.
For the Outcome, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. Fearn remarks favorably upon your decision to learn from and communicate with people or sources with whom you do not agree. Your willingness to learn signals to the gods that you are ready to learn. If anything, this is a week to examine questions like "What was the most brilliant thing ever said by someone I hate?" and to look at major events in your own past to see how they affected the current moment.

Date: 2022-05-16 12:23 am (UTC)I thought it was interesting that my readings the last 2 weeks were so similar to one another. I do think they were accurate, and have been helpful. Thanks!
What's up for me and my family this week?
Thanks again!

Date: 2022-05-16 04:09 am (UTC)Thanks for the feedback! It is weird how my Ogham give nearly the same reading for a stretch of 2-4 weeks sometimes.
For this week, you and your family drew three cards.
In the You position, which I am taking to mean just you and not so much your family, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. Coll in this dignity means that you're tempted to talk to much, to take on too much responsibility, or to put your foot in your mouth. Maybe you can avoid such a blunder. Forewarned is forearmed!
In the Situation position is the family. They drew Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified this week, which means there may be dumb people or a dumb situation that cannot be fixed or gone around. It could also point to a painful yet necessary realization, hopefully something minor like a child realizing they're not going to get infinite Oreos just because they asked nicely...
For the Outcome, you and the family drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. This week is represented by abundance and harmony. Hard work has paid off and you can celebrate a little!
