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 July 3. 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: 2022-07-04 04:38 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. You will have the opportunity to use what you know this week and chances are that you give off the impression of being witty and erudite. That said, guard your knowledge fiercely and do not say more than is necessary.
For the Situation position, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. You or someone close to you may be strained in terms of relationships, career, money, or any area where having "enough" counts. I often draw this card ill-dignified when I am going through financial trouble. There is also another possibility to the imbalance of this card, and that is the psychology of previous investment. In that case, look for failing strategies in your life and see what you can do to change your thinking towards them and thus extricate yourself.
For the Outcome, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. You have the opportunity this week to understand how generosity reverberates as abundance. The strange aspect of giving generously is the way it returns back to you across and through the planes. This is a good week to observe the phenomenon.

Date: 2022-07-04 04:45 am (UTC)My Ogham have three cards in reference to your upcoming visit.
For the You position, you drew Koad or Confluence well-dignified. Overall, you will seem put-together and balanced, and it will be clear that you've worked on yourself.
For the Situation, which refers to your nephew and his universe, the Ogham provided Quert or Delight ill-dignified. Your nephew seems to have problems appreciating small stuff, and he may have issues with courtesy (or lack thereof) and overindulgence.
For the Outcome, the Ogham provide Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. There is no true bad side to Duir. Ill-dignified, it means someone becomes aware of privilege. There is the opportunity to be generous to a fault and love unconditionally, and that opportunity, if taken, reverberates through all the planes. Duir is a Christ-like card, and not in the modern Christian sense of trying to ram God's "love" down everyone's throat, but more like a mellow, wise, loving, accepting approach to life by radiating goodness and forgiveness.

Re: Week 27
Date: 2022-07-04 04:54 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. You are overly sensitive or undersensitive this week, or a mixture of both. Your best approach to remedy this is to nurture your etheric body, to get rid of old possessions and clean up your living space, and to do natural magic practices such as putting up bedside geometrics, hoodoo baths, wearing an amulet, etc. Forewarned is most definitely forearmed, so if you are feeling grumpy or irritable, your Saille imbalance is most likely why.
For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. You or someone close to you benefits from the energy of giving. By spreading abundance and taking the time to pay attention and appreciate abundance, you will send that energy through your life and it will bounce through the planes and back at you.
For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. You are prepared for adversity in ways most are not, and that means you are prepared mentally. True defense is a matter of balance between the two poles of paranoia and vulnerability. Nevertheless, the presence of this card means you need to be alert to forces working against you that would like to pop out of the woodwork. Most of these forces will not be human.

Re: Week ahead
Date: 2022-07-04 05:11 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Straif or Strife well-dignified. Life isn't easy this week, but you've got it handled as you show uncommon maturity and resilience in the face of adversity. Every little bit helps -- your strength this week can be built upon for future weeks.
For the Situation, the Ogham provided Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. This means your opposition is either being worn down or has overplayed their hand/gotten too comfortable in a way that can potentially be turned against them.
For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. Like the first card, it points to adversity being handled and overcome, going around a thorny situation without getting shredded.

Thanks, and best wishes for your month.
no subject
Date: 2022-07-04 05:22 am (UTC)My Ogham think that July will present some challenges for you.
They give you three ill-dignified cards, so what they are saying is to look for extremes in each of three areas and try to find the ternary response instead of swinging to either pole.
For the You card, they give you Ailm or Transcendence. When there is "too much" transcending force, it means it is bogus and false. Be wary of claiming everything is OK when that isn't honest. If you are depressed, admit it, do what you need to do to rest and contemplate the forces at work. There is also possible temptation to go low in the form of trolling, bitterness, or being ugly or rude. We are all capable of it and I personally won't be the one to cast the first stone!
For the Situation, you drew Tinne or Defense. Situation often refers to people outside yourself or influences around you. The whole mask/vaccine thing was a great example of an excess of defense being deployed against a perceived threat. Vulnerability was created via that campaign that would not have been there with a toned-down reaction. When a threat presents itself, refuse to freak out, but on the opposite end, look at it carefully and don't blow it off. There is a happy medium between overdefensive and underdefensive.
For the Outcome, you drew Nuin or Communication. The world of strangers is not friendly this month. Tech could be a problem/pain in the butt. If it is recognition you desire or being out and about socially, it does not come easily. There is also the possibility of wanting to retreat into introversion when the world is determined to fill up your schedule with extrovert-required activities. Again, try to find a balance between Luddite hermit Methuselah and Instagram influencer this month.

Date: 2022-07-03 01:30 pm (UTC)Last week I learned that being a first time house seller can be just as stressful as being a first time buyer. The guidance the Ogham has provided has made navigating this huge change in my life possible. So far 2022 is shaping up just like the new year reading suggested it would.
This week I would like to ask the Ogham about how this summer will shape up for my family?
Thank you,

For this summer, you and your family drew three cards.
For the You position, you got Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. The Ogham warn that you will have issues with wanting to control everything and force what cannot be forced. There is also the opposite imbalance of lack of Martial force that could come to pass. Contemplation of the fiery side of your own nature will help greatly -- when has your fire helped and when has it hurt?
For the Situation that pertains to your family, the Ogham provided Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. On several planes, your family's life is cluttered this summer. You will have to let go of baggage of all sorts. The challenge here is figuring out the balance between getting rid of too much and getting rid of too little.
For the Outcome, you and your family drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. In the end, you are very likely to make the right moves at the right times. By discerning what is truly important and mercilessly separating wheat from chaff, you will cultivate long lasting joy and strength.

Thank you.

Date: 2022-07-04 05:53 am (UTC)This month looks rosy for you. My Ogham provide three well-dignified cards. Keep in mind that means you'll still have possibilities of setbacks and imbalances according to these cards, however you'll be much less vulnerable than other months.
For the You position, you drew Straif or Resilience. Resilience is a state of mind. It can also be called Preparedness or Collapsing to Avoid the Rush or Making Do with What You've Got. Preparedness always boils down to a mental state at the end. If you are ready for all outcomes (good and bad) then you'll be sanguine when you get something in the middle, which is what you are likely to get.
For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene. You will exist in a bubble of relative sanity and pragmatism. This could be referring to your personal space, your friends, or possibly a larger sphere such as your community or work environment. Nevertheless, be aware of astral garbage and insanity on the fringes that would like to pierce your bubble and make you crazy because misery loves company.
For the Outcome, you drew Gort or Perseverance. This card is similar to Straif, but I perceive it as a bit more physical. Your strategies are sound and from what the Ogham are saying, your preparations extend well into the physical. You would do well to sublimate what you have by sharing your strategies with those willing to listen, be they friends or strangers.

Date: 2022-07-03 02:03 pm (UTC)I hope your Sunday is going well. I'm in a fairly tough financial situation and am facing possible car repossession; this wouldn't quite be the end of the world, but it would make things very unpleasant for the next few months/years. Does your Ogham have any recommendation? (Including I guess giving up the car instead of scrambling...)
Best,
Andrew
no subject
Date: 2022-07-04 05:59 am (UTC)Hmm, I find this frustrating because your horary readings are so good, I feel you deserve financial comforts for them that you're obviously not getting at the moment. With your permission, I will sing some Orphic Hymns to Aphrodite, Hades, Hermes, and Apollo on your behalf.
The Ogham think you should give up the car. They provide Eadha or Limits well-dignified when I ask "Should Andrew give up the car?" The car is outside your current limits. Just a suggestion: make sure you explain to the car that it is going to be repossessed and thank it for its service to you. Give it your blessing and ask the gods to make sure it finds a good home, wherever it is going.
I'm not sure why you are being thrown this set of obstacles right now. Perhaps that can be a future reading.

Date: 2022-07-04 01:23 pm (UTC)And yes, the Orphic prayers would be great, I like all of those gods.

Date: 2022-07-04 03:52 pm (UTC)This week is hinting at imbalances -- all three cards were ill-dignified. I keep forgetting to explain how I read imbalances. My system of reading the Ogham is based on an Aristotlean ternary. An imbalance indicates a swing towards either a lack or excess of the Ogham energy in question, for instance Huath, which is the force applied to overcoming obstacles, can be imbalanced with too much (forcing the obstacle) or too little (running away from the fight). The goal, of course, is to bring the Ogham force back into the middle which represents an even distribution of the force. Huath well-dignified means the perfect amount of force needed to overcome the obstacle, no more and no less.
For the You position, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. You have a good chance of being irritable, touchy, or pissy this week, so be aware of that force trying to find a home in you. When this card is ill-dignified, in can also be warning of direct danger, so tune your awareness to any potential threats, including health threats caused by being around sick or reckless people or not maintaining your physical body in the way it deserves.
For the Situation, you drew Onn or Community ill-dignified. The world of semi-strangers such as extended family, casual friends, co-workers, store associates, and public servants is less friendly to you and your loved ones than usual this week. Someone may be having trouble finding and keeping fulfilling work -- hopefully the "someone" is not you. Counter any rudeness or abruptness with an air of politeness over an attitude of genuine benefit of the doubt courtesy and it will be hard to go wrong.
For the Outcome, you drew Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified. Good advice is hard to come by this week and perspective may be in short supply. You may feel that others are depending on you too much while at the same time refusing to listen to your advice.

Date: 2022-07-03 02:46 pm (UTC)Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2022-07-04 04:01 pm (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Gort or Perseverance well-dignified. You are hanging in there and generally spend this week on an even keel. You might label it as boring, but I call it prosperity!
For the Situation position, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. There is frustration when it comes to that which you do not know or cannot (yet) know, and this frustration could apply to you as well as those around you. The best strategy here is to admit you're not there yet and to earnestly apply yourself to figuring out what you can do in the immediate term.
For the Outcome, you drew Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. "Wherever I go, there I am" applies to this week. Luck is partially determined by your own choices and partially by circumstance, so it's important neither to excessively blame yourself for what you're unhappy with nor allow yourself to completely skate from culpability. As usual, my Ogham want to help you balance well in the middle of the two extremes.

Date: 2022-07-03 03:43 pm (UTC)Great news! I got a new job, would love a reading on how it works out.
It’s such a wonderful thing I keep expecting a last minute snag to wreck everything (sadly last minute snags outside my control are a thing in my life…)
no subject
Date: 2022-07-04 04:09 pm (UTC)They give you three well-dignified cards.
For the You position, they provide Ruis or Regret well-dignified. You're not wet behind the ears anymore and you are able to head potential problems at this job off at the pass.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence. This job will truly help you and your loved ones. You will be able to get a leg up while having a valuable learning experience.
For the Outcome, you drew Nuin or Communication. You will make lots of connections through this job and it will expand the horizons of your knowledge and expertise. You will learn a lot.
What concerns me is your expectation that a last minute snag will wreck everything. That's a form of mental self-sabotage. Every time you have that thought, I suggest you to counter it with an affirmation of "I learn from mistakes". Meaning, you admit to yourself that you as well as others make mistakes and that they can cause problems, but you use those mistakes as learning opportunities every single time. It is crucial that you don't limit the affirmation to "my" mistakes, as not everything is caused or controlled by you!
Love
Date: 2022-07-03 05:10 pm (UTC)Re: Love
Date: 2022-07-04 04:14 pm (UTC)My Ogham seem to think you will find romantic love, but since you forgot to add "in the current incarnation", they could be teasing you and referring to a lifetime you'll have centuries or millennia from now.
They provide Fearn or Bridge well-dignified, which talks about connecting through some kind of matchmaker.
As to the When? question, they provide Uilleand, which means Generosity. You will find love exactly when you achieve balance that causes you to be compulsively generous and able to apply that love to a special someone without conditions.
no subject
Date: 2022-07-03 05:41 pm (UTC)Regarding last week's reading, I can't really identify the "sticky situation" that you interpreted your Huath draw as meaning, but your readings for my situation and outcome were spot-on.
For this week, I'll ask something a little different. I have a work trip coming up next week, and it involves conducting field work for over a week elsewhere in my part of the country while staying in a hotel situation for the nights. I wanted to ask what your Ogham think I should know about that work trip ahead of time?
Thanks as always!
no subject
Date: 2022-07-04 04:20 pm (UTC)Thanks for the feedback!
For the You card on your work trip, you got Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. It won't be the healthiest trip -- it will be tiring, it will be hard to sleep or get decent food. The trip itself may cause some etheric starvation or depletion that you'll need to remedy by getting out in wild spaces/sunlight and eating and sleeping well.
For the Situation, you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. You'll be in top form on this trip and people will perceive you as being very professional and flexible in the right ways. You'll communicate well and get your points across.
For the Outcome, the Ogham provide Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. Once again, you'll need to take serious health precautions on this trip as it could be bad for you. Make sure you are taking a B vitamin supplement and Vitamin D to bolster immunity before, during, and after.
Moving to a new city
Date: 2022-07-03 05:57 pm (UTC)I’m in the process of moving to a new small city for nursing school, which is a wonderful opportunity for me. However within my own social circle, I do not know anyone who could move with me.
I’m very keen on leaving everything behind and starting a new life, but I’m interested in what the ogham have to say about me either finding someone to live with or if there will be other opportunities that I’ll find on my own.
Re: Moving to a new city
Date: 2022-07-04 04:22 pm (UTC)My Ogham think you'll be able to find someone to live with fairly quickly and easily. They give you Onn or Community well-dignified, which indicates you'll be able to find that person without much effort. I suggest you put a picture in your mind of the ideal person/people in the ideal living space and surround those thoughts with happiness so you can create the necessary energy to draw that person to you.

Date: 2022-07-03 07:34 pm (UTC)Hi Kimberly,
I’m planning on applying to university in the fall. Do the Ogham have anything to say about the outcome?
Thank you for your time.
no subject
Date: 2022-07-04 04:26 pm (UTC)They provide Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified, meaning that either there will be the tendency to insist that everything is OK with your university experience when that simply won't be true or you'll feel legit beaten down and depressed by it. I know that I experienced both sentiments about my alma matter, so it does not strike me as unusual. If you're anything like I was back then, you don't know what else to do other than go to university. In hindsight, I'm glad I went and I'm incredibly happy and grateful I graduated, but university was not a fun time of my life; in fact it was hell.

Date: 2022-07-03 09:28 pm (UTC)Thanks for the pictures of your cats and green growing yard, it is wonderful. Alas I only have literally a yard myself, so not so much (there are a few herbs and weeds and things bouncing around in the tiny space).
Things seem to be coming to a head in a few areas for me.
May I have a reading for this month?
Thanks.
no subject
Date: 2022-07-04 04:41 pm (UTC)My Ogham think this month may be a bit of a doozy for you and they warn of imbalances. All cards were ill-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Ioho or Grace. Ill-dignified, it means you need to let go of something you are clinging to. We live in a peculiarly graceless civilization that is unable to cope with the hard reality that everything has its time and everything dies. For me, I have issues with running myself ragged that used to be far worse when I was a young woman -- this card applies to me when I refuse to allow myself to rest. On the flip side, an imbalanced Ioho can mean too much Grace, letting go too easily and without enough of a fight.
For the Situation, you drew Huath or Obstacles. Either you or someone close to you is not meeting challenges with enough force or you/they are using too much force to get a desired outcome. Think it through as much as time affords you to do so before you make a decision. One of the worst examples I ever saw of an Huath imbalance was a young woman who settled for a young man she clearly saw as unattractive and tried to mold him into something closer to her ideal (physical) mate. Instead of dumping him and either reconciling to be alone until she maybe found someone she wanted, she forced him into an unrealistic mold. If she had too little Huath, she would have been a recluse incel who pined for a mate but who was unwilling to leave the computer to go outside and get one.
For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret. When considering the past, you are either beating yourself up too much or being unfairly blamed in some sense or there is the opposite imbalance where you are presuming that you are and were right. The truth is somewhere in the middle. If you truly have erred, then say to yourself "That was wrong and icky but I don't do that anymore" and move on. If you thought you were wrong once but you were mistaken as the old jape goes, reconsider that your track record may not be as perfect as you think.

Thanks,

no subject
Date: 2022-07-04 04:50 pm (UTC)My Ogham think you'll have a pleasant July. All cards were well-dignified.
For the You position, they provide Nuin or Communication. Good relationships with the world of strangers make for pleasant interactions and connections. Tech behaves better than usual in your case, or at least you are able to fix what goes wrong without too much trouble. It's a good month for increasing your public profile if that's your bag.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence. You choose the high road despite the low road presenting itself as more appealing. You take an eagle eye perspective that is luckily contagious to anyone lucky enough to hover close to you.
For the Outcome, you drew Duir or Gifts. This is one of the best cards of all in the Ogham deck. You are generous and your generosity will be repaid many times over. You begin to understand this month how generosity acts as a catalyst. True generosity creates a chain reaction that bounces back on you and blesses you. If you are compulsively generous on a regular basis, it transforms your life and everyone lucky enough to be around you.

Date: 2022-07-04 01:41 pm (UTC)I have come back to report that the sale of some cattle, which drew Tinne at that time, and had an offer made that week, is coming to a conclusion today Sunday, three Sundays after the question was asked. This offer was concreted in the planetary hour of the Sun, and the last of the cattle was exchanged today in the day and hour of the Sun.
My plans afterwards are to make repairs on the pastures, fertilizing the grasses, mending fences, and then grow the herd properly in proper conditions.
