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. Though I am flattered that people want readings after the deadline, I decline reading requests made after 8pm Central Time on Sunday night without exception.

Date: 2022-06-12 06:18 am (UTC)I’ve been asked by someone to participate in a musical collaboration. My vibe is that I would be doing most of the heavy lifting, but of course I don’t know that for sure. I’m wondering what your Ogham has to say about it what’ll happen if I do it?
Thanks,
Dave

Motorcycle
Date: 2022-06-12 01:48 pm (UTC)My question for the oracle today. Would it be safe for me to buy and use a motorcycle? I am thinking about getting so I can use less fuel but if it isn’t safe for me then it is a no go.
Thanks a lot

Follow Up or Nah?
Date: 2022-06-12 06:54 pm (UTC)I have a friend from a former workplace, and have made an effort to meet up with her several times, to maintain said friendship. I thought we enjoyed each other's company. My most recent "Hey, want to meet for a cup of coffee?" text, several weeks ago, went unanswered.
She is not one to initiate stuff, generally, but ignore is something new. TBH, I'm getting a little tired of doing all of the reaching out, although I appreciate that some people just roll that way.
Do the Ogham suggest that:
1) This person is interested in a friendship?
2) Is it worth my while to reach out again?
Thanks as always,
Valerie

Re: Ogham for the week
Date: 2022-06-12 11:52 pm (UTC)You drew three cards for this week.
For the You position, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. You have invested well in some literal or metaphorical sense (hopefully both) and you are seeing good results because of that investment.
For the Situation card, which as you probably know can be talking about what affects you or anyone you have a deep personal relationship with, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. Ailm imbalanced can either go in the direction of false transcendence of the hyper-positive "I'm OK, you're OK" variety or it can mean the opposite, feeling pissy, angry, or depressed and being tempted to listen to the ugly voices in your head that insist that everything sucks. Bring back balance by centering between the two poles of denial anything is wrong and immersion in the belief that nothing can be helped. The truth is in the middle.
For the Outcome position, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. This is not the week to confess anything even remotely deep and dark to another human being, no matter how close to them you feel. Yes, by not telling all, you will feel more alone but this is for the best this week.
I asked my Ogham not if they had any relationship advice but what that advice is.
My Ogham give you Luis or Protection ill-dignified in reference to your relationship. It's either imbalanced towards under-protection, meaning there is a lack of care or it is threatened somehow or it is imbalanced towards over-protection, and that means one of you is smothering or acting inappropriately by not respecting the other as a fully-formed adult. The advice of the Ogham is to be the change that you wish to see in the world. Instead of trying to change the other person in the relationship and depending on that change to make you happy, start with bettering yourself and see where it takes you.

Date: 2022-06-12 11:52 pm (UTC)Thanks so much for this service.
I'm the person who asked last week about an upcoming trip, and your Ogham's advice/warnings were pretty spot on. They also told me to focus on connecting with the land spirits in the area where I was visiting.
I have a follow up question about the trip (from which I have returned).
When I was in natural settings in the area, I felt at peace. But at other times, especially when in the town we were visiting, I felt a truly enormous sadness and heaviness.
My question this week is about that deep sadness I felt. Was it a result of just my own lack of enthusiasm for the trip (and some of the people I was with), or was the sadness about something else? Was someone or something trying to communicate? (This weekend is also the 10 year anniversary of the death of someone I was close to - was it just that?) Or is something going on with that place?
Any insight your Ogham could provide would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
J

Date: 2022-06-13 12:03 am (UTC)I want to ask two things:
1) What is up this week?
2) I'm strongly considering selling some problematic cattle this week, should I go for it or should I delay a fortnight?
Re: Week 24
Date: 2022-06-13 12:06 am (UTC)My Ogham think Week 24 will be a good week for you, with any challenges you face met with a level head and good decisions. All three cards were well-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Gort or Perseverance. You aren't the luckiest or wealthiest person alive in any respect, however, you have a good thing going and you know how to be grateful for it this week.
For the Situation position, you drew Nuin or Communication. Tech and the world of strangers bring you and your inner circle blessings and comforts this week. If you or a loved one seeks recognition, that comes this week. It is a good week to launch any creative project that may draw an audience, like writing. It also is a good week to take care of money matters. Though many think that money is attributed to Earth, it's not. Money is ruled by the element of Air.
For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community. The world of strangers is harmonious as well as the world of semi-strangers, fellow townspeople, store clerks, relatives who live outside your home, etc. this week. You recognize how you fit into your world. You spread kindness to those locals who especially need it.
Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2022-06-13 12:13 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. Close relationships are tough this week, and it is a week where you could feel irritated, lonely or both. It's a good week to play it close to the vest and only speak after you've had time to contemplate what you want to say. If in doubt, leave it out.
For the Situation position, you drew Ngetal well-dignified. The hope here is that health problems abate or at least recede this week. Use this week to recharge your etheric body and environment. Relaxing, doing something fun, or cleaning and decorating are excellent pursuits this week.
For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. This points to a potential "psychology of previous investment" problem where you're expecting different results from the same set of contributing factors. It can also mean thin finances -- that's what it usually indicates when I draw it.
no subject
Date: 2022-06-13 12:18 am (UTC)For the You position, they provide Ioho or Grace well-dignified. This project will help you to let go of some outdated ideas that you need to get rid of. Of course I don't know the specifics, but maybe it will mean blowing out some cobwebs because the collab will mean that you'll have to practice.
For the Situation position, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. I am taking Situation here to pertain to whomever you are practicing with. They are more resilient than you think. Hopefully this means they are energetic and fun to work with no matter what their skill level.
For the Outcome, you drew Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. There isn't a bad side to Duir. When it's ill-dignified, it means either you or your collaborator will be very generous and that the generosity will reverberate through the planes.
no subject
Date: 2022-06-13 12:26 am (UTC)My Ogham think you'll make the best out of this week. All three cards were well-dignified.
For the You position, they provide Muin or Harvest well-dignified. Your expectations are well in line with reality this week and reality is pretty good at the moment. Your good fortune is the direct result of the energy you put in, so by all means treat yourself to something special and give yourself the pat on the back that you deserve.
For the Situation, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. Each one of us has a niche. Of course there are different times in life where you'll feel you fit in better than others. This is a week where relations and interactions with semi-strangers go particularly well.
For the Outcome, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. You have the opportunity to contemplate and understand true wealth this week. Abundance hoarded is like milk: it goes sour. Take this week to look at examples of greedy people and their opposites, spendthrifts, and see if you can connect the dots as to the effects this has on their lives. When have you been greedy or spendthrift? What were the results that played out in your life? How is the current moment of balance different than those times?
no subject
Date: 2022-06-13 12:51 am (UTC)My Ogham predict a week with a propensity towards imbalance for you this week. All three cards were ill-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Onn or Community ill-dignified. There are problems and potential drama from the world of semi-strangers this week. Examples are having to deal with phone trees instead of people, a bad situation at a store or elsewhere in public, inept professionals that you must deal with in your personal life, or general ifficulty getting help. The Ogham suggest you draw upon your natural reserves of grace and patience to muddle through, and don't hesitate to get a second opinion.
For the Situation, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. Pearls before swine doesn't do you or the swine any good, so don't waste your energy trying to help or educate those who won't be helped or educated. Better to keep quiet and play it close to the vest.
For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret ill-dignified. Either there is the tendency towards too much regret in trying to make someone feel bad for what they did and/or beating yourself up unfairly or there is too little regret in letting the guilty off scot-free and/or mistakenly assuming you were blameless. Somewhere between excessive mea culpas and "I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken" there is a balance you need to strike this week.
no subject
Date: 2022-06-13 01:07 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards. All three were well-dignified, indicating that you will rise to this week's challenges and make the best of them.
For the You position, you drew Quert or Delight. You take the proper time to be thankful this week, and because of that gratitude and the small ways you express it, you begin to amass a much larger benefit.
For the Situation, you drew Onn or Community. The world of semi-strangers such as extended family, friends, co-workers, fellow townspeople, and professionals/associates that you must deal with is especially harmonious this week. That's why this week is a good one to take care of gruntwork that involves those people such as getting machinery fixed, making appointments, connecting with old acquaintances, etc.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. Saille is symmetrical with Quert, making this reading especially auspicious. This is a good week to contemplate that which you truly love and want to pursue. It's also a good week to strip away that which you don't find important or beneficial. Though my former words may seem light and fluffy, they're as serious as a heart attack. Nobody, not one of us, has time for that which we only feel lukewarm about. If it does not bring you joy, consider getting rid of it, or at least give it a decent amount of thought. For instance, if you collect enough of full of what you feel only lukewarm about on the material plane, you will quickly turn into a hoarder. Get rid of what you no longer need or want this week on all of the planes; you'll see the balance of this week lasting longer than seven days that way.
no subject
Date: 2022-06-13 01:50 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week. For the You position, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. This means either you won't get enough rest this week (too little grace) or that a lack of grace could come in the form of not letting go what is not meant to be. If you have an imbalance of Grace in the other direction (too much) then it means that you should try harder to motivate yourself, meaning you will have a propensity towards either laziness or to let go without trying.
For the Situation position, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. Relations with the world of semi-strangers and acquaintances are harmonious this week, making it a fine week for shopping, tying up loose ends, and contacting people you've lost touch with.
For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles this week. Ill-dignified, it means that you'll be tempted to be very harsh or that if you aren't careful, you'll come off as looking very harsh which can be just as bad. Be sure that you don't let your temper get the best of you. The opposite form of an Huath imbalance is a lack of fire energy -- being disconnected from your anger or shoving it under the rug. In either case, look at the usefulness and the benefits of anger this week in contemplation to understand what the Ogham are trying to say to you.
Re: Motorcycle
Date: 2022-06-13 01:55 am (UTC)My Ogham say No, it's not a good idea because it won't be safe for you. They provide Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. That means exactly what it seems to mean, I think, that a motorcycle would not provide enough safety to justify the money saved on fuel.
My husband recently started driving a Smart Car. We traded in his SUV for it. It looks a bit like a glorified golf cart but if you can deal with the stigma of its !!!Kawaiieeee!!!! cuteness, it gets 40 miles to a gallon of gas. Long ago, he had the electric model of the Smart ForTwo, but it sucked because it took forever to charge. There's also the added problem of most of Illinois's electricity coming from coal, but the people around here who drive electric cars never seem to figure that one out before they buy a Tesla.
no subject
Date: 2022-06-13 02:02 am (UTC)My Ogham think he (or we) will be disappointed. They provide Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified, which indicates that the people James is extending the olive branch towards will immediately throw it in the wood chipper. I'm sure this comes as no surprise as this is exactly how the Narrative's true believers have acted for the last 2.5 years, which is like ostriches with their heads in the sand and their naked butts in the air.

Date: 2022-06-13 02:15 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards. For the You position, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. You have the opportunity to connect with your Holy Guardian Angel this week and have a chat about the direction you are going. It's a good week to look at times when your HGA stepped in and saved you from danger or a big mistake. What were the weird coincidences or synchronicities that made you feel protected by someone bigger and smarter than you?
For the Situation, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. You owe yourself a pat on the back, as does someone close to you, as you witness the fruits of your own labor ripening and maturing all around you. This is a good week to examine the successes of your life that you put in place. It is all too easy to remember the negative and to chase happiness because we are evolutionarily wired to remember trauma and stress. Take a moment to connect this week's well earned rewards with ones you've earned in the past.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. This is the Ogham's gentle warning that you may be a bit of an insensitive ass this week: forewarned is forearmed. Being considerate of others, doing your part of the etheric labor known to the general public as "chores", and discerning what is truly important against the frenetic backdrop of what is not important go a long way this week. On the other side, the Ogham also warn you could be overly sensitive, afraid of getting rid of what you're not passionate/hoarding or impulse buying out of fear. Don't fall for that and bring things back into balance by keeping your boundaries firm but flexible.
Re: Motorcycle
Date: 2022-06-13 02:17 am (UTC)Re: Job questions
Date: 2022-06-13 02:25 am (UTC)Take this with all the grains of salt, but my Ogham think that it is best for you to leave your job now.
They answer your questions as follows:
1. Yes, now is a good time. They provide Oír or Epiphany well-dignified, meaning you can go around a heck of a lot of stupid if you make your exit immediately.
2. The outcome if you leave now is that it will be hard to let go. They provide Ioho or Grace ill-dignified, meaning that you will have to get used to being a lot less comfortable and/or that you'll be sad to leave that situation because you liked some of the people there or you liked that line of work. Be aware that you may go through Elizabeth Kübler-Ross's phases of grief and that leaving might feel wrong even though it is the right thing to do.
3. For their advice, they provide Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. Be prepared to have a completely different life, a different outlook, and to change a great deal. If you are willing to make a huge shake up, fate will be on your side. Mór talks about factors you can't do anything about, so if it shows up here, it means that you are moving with a tide that few others see. They will be swept away by the tsunami while you'll be safe in the Ark.
3.

Date: 2022-06-13 02:44 am (UTC)You're welcome. My Ogham have three cards for you.
For your first question, What is the best way out of my current malaise?, they offer Quert or Delight well-dignified. The key to making more delight in your life is focusing on gratitude at every possible moment and by living that gratitude by being an exemplar of understated and efficient courteousness. When you are compulsively grateful, it transforms your life. For instance, I can either take the cup of herbal tea I am drinking for granted -- it's just a cup of herbal tea -- or I can be grateful for it. Two billion on this planet cannot access clean water yet here I am, drinking water purified in a Berkey filter, boiled on my gas stove, brewed into tea with exotic herbs from a company called Traditional Medicinals. The cup is a lovely piece of ceramic bought long ago for me by my mom. If you are grateful, everybody wants you in their life because everyone wants to be appreciated for what they did right. For every time you are dragged into remembering how you've messed up, make a mental note of two things you did right. Not that you'll be forgetting what you did wrong or anything -- go ahead and admit what you did and say to yourself "I don't do that anymore". Nevertheless, the focus retrains on what you did right, and that way you can build upon the positive.
For the second question, What should I be focusing on this year? the Ogham provide Nuin or Communication well-dignified. You should be focusing on making yourself known in the public square, getting yourself out there, making money, and writing or music if you're inclined to either of those airy activities. You'll have much luck this year if you focus on connecting with people who are currently strangers.
For your question What's holding me back in my love life? my Ogham provide you with Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. You are not letting go of what is not meant for you. Perhaps you're still hung up on an old flame, or you've got your sights set on an ideal person to whom no mere mortal can compare. Or maybe you're overly concerned with your own age or appearance and you presume that you're not lovable because of some uncontrollable factor. Work on yourself first and learn to be happy in your own skin even if you're Forever Alone like the meme. If it's meant to be, it will happen. If it's not meant to be in this lifetime, don't worry, there will be plenty of future lifetimes where you can run the gamut of love experience! The Universe is very, very patient even if we humans are not.
Re: Follow Up or Nah?
Date: 2022-06-13 02:49 am (UTC)For the first question, they provide Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. Yes, this person would like to be friends and furthermore they would make a good friend, or at least a pleasant acquaintance.
For the second question, they provide Luis or Protection well-dignified. Yes, this person is worth reaching out towards. Luis showing up here probably means some protective feature of the phone went awry or she/he got too busy to follow up on the message. That said, if she doesn't respond a second time, I would let it go and consider the ball in her/his court.
no subject
Date: 2022-06-13 02:51 am (UTC)They give it Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. The most obvious conclusion I would expect from this is that the new job will run you ragged and that they'll use you for everything you've got. Ioho can point to a lack of rest. Another possibility is that working there will prevent you from letting go of something you would be better off without.
no subject
Date: 2022-06-13 02:57 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. Tech not behaving the way you want it to act is a real possibility this week. Another one is dissonance from the world of strangers or feeling like you'd like to withdraw and be alone when you cannot.
For the Situation, you drew Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. Mór is your general milieu, both material and astral, and it's all coming up roses this week. Your luck is good this week no matter what, so it is a good time to make major decisions and purchases.
For the Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. This week offers an opportunity to share your hard-earned knowledge and the best of yourself. You'll know what to say and more importantly what not to say. There may also be the opportunity to learn some helpful information that adds to your own store of knowledge.
no subject
Date: 2022-06-13 03:04 am (UTC)Thanks for the feedback!
My Ogham say that it wasn't you. They think you handled the trip very well and were as kind and as courteous as can be. They give you Uilleand ill-dignified for the You position. Uilleand is Generosity. You were gracious and courteous according to them and your grace of character will be rewarded.
For the second question, which has more to do with the place, they say Yes, the place is very sad. They provide Quert or Delight in the affirmative. The spirit of that place was happy to find someone sensitive enough to recognize it but there is a heaviness there that no one person can fix.
For the third question, was it someone trying to communicate, they say Yes, it was. They provide Phagos or Teaching. There is a surplus of trapped human ghosts there and there has been a great betrayal from what I sense through the Ogham. All of the people there are infected despite pretty much zero of them realizing it.

Date: 2022-06-13 03:10 am (UTC)Re: “…maybe it will mean blowing out some cobwebs because the collab will mean that you'll have to practice.”
I laughed out loud at this because it is so true!
no subject
Date: 2022-06-13 03:12 am (UTC)This week shows a propensity towards imbalance for you. Hopefully you'll be able to head most of it off at the pass.
For the You position, you drew Eadha or Limits. You'll either be pushed in an unreasonable way (like not being allowed to properly rest) or you'll be the one doing the pushing. Another possibility is feeling unnecessarily constrained. Do your best to work within your own limits and those of the world around you and don't get too frustrated by failures.
For the Situation, you drew Duir or Gifts. There is no true bad side to Duir, and imbalanced it means you are made aware of your privileges and given the opportunity to be compulsively generous. For every act of compulsive generosity you or those close to you make good on this week, you or they will see it return sevenfold along the planes of existence, though where the specific areas of return are is beyond the reach of this oracle.
For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. You may be suffering some of the psychology of previous investment. In that case, the best strategy is look for the hole you're in and then immediately stop digging. There is also the potential of having reaped what you've sown in a bad way.
My Ogham seem to think you should sell the cattle this week. They provide Tinne or Defense well-dignified.

Date: 2022-06-13 10:14 am (UTC)I've been trying to be more communicative, as well. I've been meaning to do some writing again. so I'll do some of that. Some small efforts to get out and reach out more have had success, covid has been pretty disruptive in this regard. so I'll keep chipping away there too.
As for the last one, this seems the most ambiguous to me. what you've said is all true to some degree. I'll work on the first two for now, and meditate upon the third. hey that's a good excuse to try some discursive meditation!
I don't know how gracefully I can communicate my delight, so Thank you! thank you! thank you! for all your insight.

Date: 2022-06-13 06:15 pm (UTC)Re: Motorcycle
Date: 2022-06-13 06:26 pm (UTC)Remember that gas mileage isn't everything. The way you drive your car makes a huge difference in how much fuel it uses. When I had a manual Civic, I could get 50mpg on my regular commute by optimizing what time I left the house, coasting on downhill slopes and approaching stops, accelerating slowly, and avoiding accelerating on uphill grades whenever possible, turning the motor off at long stoplights, that sort of thing. Any car can get *better* mileage if you drive it carefully.
The other half of that equation is this: Most of a car's lifetime pollution/emissions happens *in the manufacturing process*. This means that you have to keep a car on the road for an average of 19 years before its gas-guzzling is a bigger deal than the pollution that happened back at the factory. So in many ways, even if your vehicle isn't the most fuel-efficient on the road, keeping it in good working order and driving it for as long as you can keep the engine working well is often more eco-friendly than buying a new vehicle.
Plus, there's always just driving less whenever possible ;) Nothing saves more gas than not-driving.
