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.
Reading requests are concluded for the week of June 26. Please be patient if you do not see your reading yet as it takes me anywhere from 1 to 48 hours to get to them all. Please feel free to comment on existing threads after the deadline though. Thanks and see you next week for more free Ogham readings.

Date: 2022-06-27 03:13 am (UTC)This looks like a mostly upbeat week for you. All three cards were well-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Ruis or Regret. When well-dignified, it means that you reap the benefits of having regrets instead of either wallowing in past regret or being "above the law" as a function of puffy ego. When you take a reasonable attitude towards regret, it can be of tremendous benefit.
For the Situation, you drew Phagos or Teaching. You have the opportunity to share some of your hard earned wisdom this week and/or someone may share their hard earned wisdom with you. The mark of true mastery is an openness and lack of defensiveness and posturing when it comes to your area of expertise.
For the Outcome or Karma, you drew Tinne or Defense. You are in a secure place in some respects -- the Ogham think you are secure where it counts and that you don't have to sweat the small stuff. Gratitude can go a long way here to protect you from the envious and to keep your luck flowing.

Many blessings to you and I look forward to your usual open post with cats and with the promised bonus of your summer garden.

Re: July
Date: 2022-06-27 03:23 am (UTC)The Ogham gently warn you that July may be a doozy. All three cards were ill-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Fearn or Bridge. Fearn is a card of guidance, advice, and transitions away from bad situations. Right now, good guidance is hard to find and there are many who serve to lead you astray no matter what their intentions are, stated or otherwise. Don't be afraid to get second, third, and fourth opinions. Also, in order to attract the energy of good advice, make sure you give away your good advice in matters in which you have expertise to those who ask for it in a loving and gentle spirit. That way the energy will bounce back at you.
For the Situation position, you drew Gort or Perseverance. When it's ill-dignified, it means thin finances, austerity, and feeling like your resources are being strained to the max. It can also mean clinging to the psychology of previous investment -- for me, that was always a manic way of getting my hopes up and then having them predictably dashed. Better to put hopes and expectations into what you can actually control, such as the slow and steady improvement of oneself via a hobby, discursive meditation, or study of a field you'd like to master.
For the Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom. The Ogham seem to be telling you that you're either not sharing enough wisdom or you're pouring out too much to the wrong people. Either you're too shy or you're casting pearls before swine, or perhaps you're like me and you swing from pole to pole in one day. There's a happy medium of how much to share my Ogham would like to see you keep in mind this July. Be very discriminating about what you share with whom, but don't go full hermit as it is not appropriate at this time in your life.

Date: 2022-06-27 03:29 am (UTC)My Ogham think it's going to be very difficult to find another physician, so they suggest you should hold your nose and work with this one for the time being while looking for someone new. They provide Eadha or Limits ill-dignified, which is most likely to say that it's hard to find a capable, non-normie physician, so the best approach is to get what you need out of this person and utilize his or her services on a temporary basis.
I personally have neither health insurance nor a primary care physician, so if I need the services of one, I go to my husband's doctor. I don't think the guy is particularly competent, but if I get pinkeye or a cat bite, he can write a script for the meds I need.

Re: Week 26
Date: 2022-06-27 03:35 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Beith or Beginnings ill-dignified. It's very possible that you'll run low on energy this week. Either you won't have the physical energy or the mental energy you need to get your tasks done, or you'll go in too many directions, or both. Either way, narrow it down to what you can manage and don't be afraid to delegate responsibility or just let things slide.
For the Situation, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. You have the opportunity to share some of your most hard earned wisdom this week. You might be on the receiving end of that wisdom. It's beneficial either way.
For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. Like Beith, this points to needing more rest or not being able to rise to the occasion. That said, it can also be talking about giving up too easily when the going gets tough, so be aware of either possibility.

Re: Cloudy
Date: 2022-06-27 03:49 am (UTC)My Ogham think you are in a good position to do something about your cloudiness. The state of the astral is really, really bad. I don't know if you follow JMG's ongoing Covid semi-open posts but in the last round, people were chatting about how bad the astral is around them. I didn't have time to chime in but I can say it is at an "all time worst" especially around a week ago right before the Roe Vs. Wade ruling. Despite all my banishing and prayers, I can feel nastiness trying to get at me, especially when I drop off to sleep at night. One night it was so bad, I had to do some natural magic to combat it.
The Ogham give you Koad or Confluence well-dignified in the You position. You feel out of control but actually the odds are in your favor if you take the reins. Much of this "demonic age" as I have called it is a sink or swim deal. Though I have no idea how it will all pan out, there are some major tests going on right now. Christians and anyone who immanentizes the eschaton perceive the tests as something that is going to literally happen next week in the form of the Rapture... meanwhile, they miss that it has been happening all along. It's a spiritual bottleneck for lack of a better term. The Incas feared it enough to want to avoid incarnation during these horrific times.
For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. The Ogham are admonishing you to clean up your act, and I'd assume they mean your etheric environment or perhaps astrally in matters of the imagination. For instance, I spend too much time online and it tends to be in the form of Pinterest, surfing various boards of Telegram, and trashy Netflix. If I see Ngetal ill-dig in my own case, that's usually what it is referring to.
For the Outcome, you drew Gort or Perseverance well-dignified. My Ogham think you need to hang in there. The clouds will clear and you'll have a good sense of how well you've done in matters of advancing your own ability to adapt. They're saying your current trials are part of a larger package designed to teach you about yourself.

Thank you for your time.
no subject
Date: 2022-06-27 03:54 am (UTC)My Ogham say that it's not a good outcome, or at least it's not a good idea to start the blog this week. They provide Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified, which means that the tides of luck aren't with you for the foraging blog this week. My Ogham encourage you to dive deep and contemplate exactly what kind of blog you want -- they may be trying to help you find a topic within the same realm as foraging but not exactly hovering over that precise target, for instance a blog about the history of herbs.

Date: 2022-06-27 04:07 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. You are on a path to better and brighter things at the moment. That's not to say that you are unmet by challenges -- far from it. You are intellectually honest and you take into account your own failings while being wary of the mistakes of others.
For the Situation, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. There is the tendency to speak when you shouldn't. The Ogham are giving you the heads up so you can avoid trouble! There is also the possibility of having to suffer a fool this week -- one of those sorts where you know you could dress them down, but your higher self insists it's not worth it. Your higher self is right!
For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. Ur talks about being able to keep secrets and the power of secrets. If you have anyone in your innermost circle, that relationship or relationships are harmonious this week.
July outlook
Date: 2022-06-26 01:37 pm (UTC)I'd like to ask how July looks for me. How can I best direct my efforts & energies this month?
Thank you!
Jonathan.
Re: July outlook
Date: 2022-06-27 04:15 am (UTC)You drew three cards for July.
For the You position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. You do a splendid job of taking the high road when the turkeys try to get you down to their level this month. In the battleground that the astral plane has become, not getting dragged down into the muck is no small accomplishment. There's a goofy song called Englishman in New York from one of Sting's solo albums that sums it up: "Manners maketh man as someone said, he's our hero of the day."
For the Situation, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. You sit well within your niche this July and those closest to you benefit from the relationships and place you have cultivated. Community is the world of semi-strangers and acquaintances. They serve you well and you serve them well this month.
For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. This month will present a challenge or challenges to which you will be tempted either to overreact or under-react. Anxiety can often go off the charts when challenges present themselves. I suggest the Stoic approach of coolly exploring every outcome without attaching emotion so that you are not surprised by consequence. I also suggest propitiating to Ares or doing relevant natural magic to Ares/Mars, such as creating a red bag salt amulet. Little things like making amulets can help more than anyone realizes.

no subject
Date: 2022-06-27 04:22 am (UTC)This week the Ogham give you three cards.
For the You position, they give you Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. They are giving you a gentle warning that you'll have some depression or generally will feel low. Alternately, they warn you about the "I'm OK, you're OK" false transcendence syndrome where you presume you've learned a lesson that you're still in the midst of learning.
For the Situation, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. You'll have the opportunity to share some of what you've mastered. If all goes right, you'll have the opportunity to learn as well. You can always tell true mastery by the openness and frankness of the person who has earned the wisdom to become a teacher.
For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace well-dignified. You let go of that which is not meant for you or that which is not meant to be. By doing so, you set a much needed example, because the special challenge of our era is that most of our species is terrible at letting go of what was not meant to last.
What’s new
Date: 2022-06-26 04:18 pm (UTC)What’s up/new for me personally and professionally? How are things with my dogs?
Thank you and we need to get together soon.
Re: What’s new
Date: 2022-06-27 04:34 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards for your general "what's up" reading.
For the You position, they provide Onn or Community ill-dignified. My Ogham are acknowledging the stressful time at work you've been having. They say the conflicts you're having about the way you fit into the scheme are very natural. This seems like them urging you to hang in there -- yes, very few can do what you do even though some people would like you to feel like you're easily replaced.
For the Situation, they provide Muin or Harvest well-dignified. You've invested in better habits and they are beginning to pay off. Keep in mind my Ogham aren't necessarily talking about physical habits, though they could be. Habits begin and end in the mind.
For the Outcome or Karma, my Ogham provide Eadha or Limits well-dignified. You are accepting limits instead of fighting against them. By learning how to work within limits, you've actually discovered one of the most powerful magical secrets of the universe. Limits are power -- for instance, a river without stones and dirt to contain it and gravity to drive it is just a big puddle floating in space. It's the limits on a river that make it powerful. When you understand how exclusion of that which is not you (or to your liking) makes you more powerful, suddenly you're really cooking with gas...
As for the dogs, the Ogham provide Luis or Protection ill-dignified. One or more of the dogs may be in trouble. The Ogham suggest some pre-emptive treatments or supplements.

Date: 2022-06-26 04:24 pm (UTC)Sad to say, I did not heed the advice to sell the cows two weeks ago, and I am coming to an understanding as to why I should have done so then. However I did gain experience dealing with traders, and I still have the cows to sell at the next opportunity in July, so there's that.
1) What is it that I need to know this week?
2) With the delay in selling the set of cows, it comes about the need to check if two of their number are pregnant or not. What does the Ogham say about this matter?
no subject
Date: 2022-06-27 09:01 pm (UTC)For this week, you drew three cards.
For the You card, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. You are well-armed this week for whatever life throws at you. Your gut is right most of the time for the current era and you should listen to it.
For the Situation, you drew Ruis or Regret ill-dignified, which can apply to you directly or to someone close to you. There is a line between annoyance and unnecessary animosity towards perceived threats that you or your loved one will want to keep firmly in check. Don't beat yourself unnecessarily for things you've done and said in the past, but don't let yourself slide because you couldn't possibly be wrong.
For the Outcome, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. You feel worn out this week, but much of this is what you have done to yourself as it is in the karmic section of this reading. The other possibility is that you've invested on the winning side, but the winners are not the good guys, or at least they are nowhere near as virtuous as they presume themselves to be.
This is not to be taken in the place of an expert diagnosis, but my Ogham seem to think the cows are pregnant. They provide Mór or Sea Change well-dignified.
Finally selling the house
Date: 2022-06-26 04:43 pm (UTC)I started thinking about moving out of the PNW all the way back in September when Biden announced the coming OSHA mandates. Its been a long journey, but I'm finally listing my house. I would like to ask the Ogham a few questions about what to expect:
1) Will the sale finalize before August?
2) Should I accept the offer with the quickest closing time?
3) Was the thing I discussed with my neighbor yesterday the epiphany that Ogham predicted last week?
Thank you for this service. The advice the Ogham has offered has been consistent and helpful throughout this process.
-MF
Re: Finally selling the house
Date: 2022-06-27 09:04 pm (UTC)The Ogham don't think the sale will be finalized before August 1. They provide Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified, meaning generosity will be demanded of you.
For question 2, they say Yes, and they provide Gort or Perseverance well-dignified.
For question 3, they say Yes, and they give Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified.

Date: 2022-06-26 04:55 pm (UTC)Given that the repeal of Roe means there is no right to medical privacy the supreme court has set the country back to the 1906 ruling in Jacobson v Massachusetts in regards to whether States can Jab-or-jail you. Spoiler: they can. Roe was the single reason States and the fed had to "mandate" instead of legislate.
Is this something that is an immediate threat? Or is this something that likely will not arise until the next round of pharma lobbying?
no subject
Date: 2022-06-26 09:55 pm (UTC)A follow-up question for the Ogham I might add on the topic is, will the Supreme Court ruling motivate the U.S. Congress to take action in favor of abortion rights?
My dream scenario would be an amendment to the U.S. Constitution protecting bodily autonomy in regards to abortion, vaccines, and all other possible issues, but I'd like to know what the U.S. Congress is likely to actually do now.

Date: 2022-06-27 09:20 pm (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Eadha or Limits well-dignified. You'll be able to use what you have this week and to be joyfully economical and efficient. It's a great opportunity to reflect upon the difference between want and need.
For the Situation position, which affects you and those close to you, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. When Luis pops up in this dignity, it's a warning to be prudent and watchful. Your Holy Guardian Angel is active right now, which often occurs when your lower selves are under threat either astrally, etherically, or physically. Wear amulets, burn incense, and pray more than usual this week.
For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. There will be the temptation to talk too much or to spill the beans. Don't. Zip it and you'll be glad you did. This could also be talking about discord/annoyances between loved ones or close friends this week.
Ogham question
Date: 2022-06-26 06:00 pm (UTC)Will I make any progress toward my goals on the job front this week or should I realign my goals toward relocating?
Thanks again,
Charlie
Re: Ogham question
Date: 2022-06-27 09:25 pm (UTC)For the first question, "Will I make any progress towards my goals on the job front this week?" they say No and they provide Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. My sense here is that the "job front" of which you speak may mean you are barking up the wrong tree. So I asked my Ogham "Is Charlie barking up the wrong tree with the job front?" My Ogham say Yes, and they provide Duir or Gifts well-dignified. You need to think about what your true gifts are and use those to at least try for a form of gainful employment. My Ogham think your current search is distracting you from the true fulfillment of those gifts.
As for relocating, my Ogham don't like it for you. They provide Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified, which means that moving elsewhere isn't going to help you. Instead, they think you need to face the music right where you are standing... at home.
no subject
Date: 2022-06-26 07:13 pm (UTC)As always, thank you for this service.
My question this time:
I have reasons to want to relocate where I live, and reasons to stay where I am. Should I focus my energy on finding a way to move elsewhere, or focus my energy on building connections and "collapsing" (in the JMG sense) where I live now? If the former, then any advice on what steps I can take to get started on a relocation are welcome, and if the latter, any further advice on making the best of where I am is also welcome.
Thank you,
Jan
no subject
Date: 2022-06-27 09:37 pm (UTC)My Ogham don't think you should relocate. They provide Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified, which means that you need to do the work right where you are.
As for your second question, I posed it to the Ogham as "How can Jan best collapse and avoid the rush right now while staying put?"
They give you three cards in response.
For the You card, they provide Eadha or Limits ill-dignified, meaning the current struggle has to do with accepting both your personal limits as well as the limits of the world you live in and of your local environment. It is going to be hard to re-train yourself to live with much less. Compulsive gratitude can be very helpful here, and I mean thanking the bed when you rise from it, being thankful for every meal and drink, and being grateful for the people, places, and things in your life, warts and all.
For the Situation card, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified, meaning you're suffering from excessive paranoia and doomerism which is inherently unhelpful and/or you are truly under-defended for what's coming down the pipe. I was just meditating on doomerism today, and it may become a future essay. In essence, the statement I was meditating on was this one: "The secret of resilience is generosity". Not sure who put that into my head. Maybe it was me! It's not what you can hoard and keep, but what you can give away that makes viability for you and yours down the road. Food for thought.
For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace well-dignified. This is a card of sublimation through sacrifice. Letting go of what isn't meant to be is far harder than it sounds. Take the somewhat amusing examples of Hollywood celebrities who cannot let go of being 26 and at the top of the world. We all have our issues with letting go, especially in this particularly materialistic era. Contemplate what character traits and skills last through many incarnations versus accumulating what you can't take with you when you die (for instance, having a pretty face and having a career as a Hollywood celebrity) -- that's what you need to build.
This week…
Date: 2022-06-26 07:15 pm (UTC)What do I need to focus on this week? As a follow up on last week’s reading, I had a very good productive week. I did over do it one day causing night cramps in one leg. That was my health warning perhaps. Thank you!

Re: This week…
Date: 2022-06-27 09:46 pm (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards this week.
For the You position, they provide Koad or Confluence well-dignified. My Ogham think you'll generally have a good week, and much of this is what you have put in place for yourself. Kudos to you for generating good karma for yourself!
For the Situation, they provide Quert or Delight ill-dignified. You or someone close to you may suffer from workaholism this week. Don't let daily pressures prevent you from enjoying what is fleeting and seasonal, and treat yourself to something nice. The other potential warning is that you'll party too hard and regret it, so don't eat the entire box of sweets, stop after the second glass of wine, etc.
For the Outcome, they provide Straif or Resilience well-dignified. You are just flexible enough to thrive this week. This kind of flexibility happens on several planes -- you're in the happy middle of being permissive and strict.

Date: 2022-06-27 09:52 pm (UTC)Things are a bit unbalanced for you this week. My Ogham give you three ill-dignified cards.
For the You position, they provide Onn or Community. The world of semi-strangers is an uneasy fit. This can mean trouble at work, issues with people who sell or buy things from you, or family you rarely see. At any rate, there is a fish out of water feeling with them.
For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. When ill-dignified, this means you might be laying it on too thick and spoiling someone you love. Or they are trying to spoil you and it's an effort that creates more damage than good. On the plus side, sometimes this card means being generous to a fault in a way that generates good karma.
For the Outcome, you drew Eadha or Limits. You are either frustrated by the limits you have, others are trying to push you outside of your limits, or both. Learn to live with limits and learn to say no to the forces that would like to push you out of equilibrium.

Date: 2022-06-27 09:59 pm (UTC)Thanks for the feedback!
You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. This usually means you'll be faced with a sticky situation or an obstacle where two wrong approaches are very tempting. One is running away and backing down too quickly -- be ready for dignified confrontation. Don't back down, but do your best not to act rashly or stupidly. The other possibility is forcing an outcome. It won't work and it will backfire, so think it through as much as possible.
For the Situation, you drew Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified. All epiphanies are inherently unpleasant for the most part, so getting this one ill-dig isn't really a big deal. The realization you'll have is a needed one, so be ready to accept it and be mature about it.
For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace well-dignified. You let go of what is not meant for you and what is not meant to be. It is all part of the process of learning one's lessons and aging gracefully.

Date: 2022-06-26 11:52 pm (UTC)I've just been made aware of the possibility of having Fils-du-V sublet my place for a month. As I'm trying to get out of here ASAP it's very appealing, especially since I can save the money that would've gone to rent; however I used to know this person rather well and the chaotic reputation they currently carry was true back then and certainly seems to be holding true now. They are a friend, however, and seem to be having a hard time getting out of their rut at the moment. I'd certainly like to be able to help them have somewhere to stay while also helping myself get my relocation plans going. I do feel a little wary, knowing this person, but the timing seems interesting as it's been an issue I've been praying on a lot lately and so this could be the solution I've been looking for.
So - what'll be the outcome if I contact fils-du-V about staying at my place for July?
