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 10. 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: 2022-07-11 02:11 am (UTC)This week may be a bit of a doozy. All three cards were ill-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. It's a week where you won't have your thinking cap on, so do what you can to prevent goof-ups and mishaps ahead of time and also be wary that life is planning on throwing you a couple of curve balls. Additionally, keep your mouth shut at key moments and consider your words and commitments before putting them out there.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence. Some turkey may try to drag you down, or it could just be that you'll have a bit of depression. Always be on the watch for false transcendence if you see this card ill-dignified. Because this is in Situation, it could be applying to someone close to you. False transcendence is being positive and papering over the negative instead of dealing with it properly.
For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection. When this is out of dignity, it means you could be at risk of physical harm or illness. Supplement with vitamin D and the whole array of B vitamins and wear an amulet is my advice. It could also be pointing to being overprotective and driving yourself and others nuts with paranoia, so keep an eye out for that one as well.

Date: 2022-07-11 02:33 am (UTC)Thank you! That's very high praise.
For this week you drew three cards. All were well-dignified, which points to a mostly balanced week.
In the You position, you drew Phagos or Teaching. You have the opportunity to use one or more of your special areas of knowledge and good instincts this week. You would do well to observe where these talents lie. It's often the spirit nudging you in the direction where it believes you will shine.
In the Situation, you drew Straif or Resilience. You are mentally prepared for tough times and you have the right attitudes towards cooperation and conservation. You are flexible enough to handle the future appropriately. Those around you benefit from your ability to be flexible and sensitive.
For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. You mostly keep the right amount of information where it belongs, only doling it out to those who can work with it and won't use it against you. Nevertheless, the presence of this card is a gentle warning to guard your secrets well and to not give away too much of your life force via people pleasing.
Weekly Heads-up

Greetings from England, where we are enjoying our annual week long 'heatwave' of around 75F, hahaha!
My thanks to you and your Ogham.

Re: Weekly Heads-up
Date: 2022-07-11 02:44 am (UTC)It's been a strange few weeks for the fews. There have been an excess of all well-dignified and all ill-dignified readings. Your reading was all ill-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Muin or Harvest. When ill-dignified, this means that you're likely having trouble making ends meet this week and that times are tough. It's easy to take what little you have for granted. One thing that cheered me up during a really tough summer (summers are often fiscally thin for me as a music teacher) was foraging some purslane and other wild foods that most people consider weeds and cooking them up for myself.
For the Situation position, you drew Saille or Sensitivity. Ill-dignified it means either an excess or a dearth of sensitivity, or an unfortunate combo of both extremes. You and/or someone close to you must give up too much to accommodate others. It's easy to get angry about it. Your best bet is to discern just how much you can do without and then be strict about doing without it. This applies to physical stuff but also activities and directions you might go.
For the Outcome, you drew Fearn or Guidance. When this is ill-dignified, it means you are in danger of giving or receiving bad advice. Fearn is the card of advisors and helpers and when it is ill-dignified, it means that either there is no help or the help is incompetent. The Ogham suggest getting second opinions, doing your own research, and not taking what an "expert" says at face value.
Oof! Accurate!

Good news and Translator issues
Date: 2022-07-10 08:28 am (UTC)Now for some requests.
What's in store this month?
A group of friends and myself are starting a writing project and plan to do a quarterly magazine like Amazing stories, each issue having one chapter of an ongoing story. Modeled after the Light Novel Magazines in Japan, what do you see behind this attempt?
I'm also working with a group learning Japanese to bypass the woke translators that keep turning Anime into advertisements for their world view. How is this going to work out?
-Subquestion: Once I learn Japanese I plan to try my hand at doing my own translation service, starting with public domain stuff and moving on to my own company possibly, how does that look?
Re: Good news and Translator issues
Date: 2022-07-11 02:54 am (UTC)Interesting! Thanks for the feedback.
It must be some kind of banner year for all well- or ill-dignified readings. Your reading was all ill-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. When ill-dignified, this could mean something as negative as you either being overwhelming/smothering in your love style or it could indicate that you are the one being overwhelmed, over-depended upon, and smothered. The best of possibilities for this card is that you are overly generous, more than you can technically afford to be, and that generosity will bounce back at you through the planes.
For the Situation, you drew Eadha or Limits. Forces push you and/or someone close to you around this month, and they aren't gentle. Or it could be that you or someone close to you are/is frustrated with your limits and you're not prone to acting maturely about it.
For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. There is the tendency to bloviate and opine when you would be better off keeping your trap shut. As Lao Tzu said, "Those who know do not speak, and those who speak do not know."

Re: Week 28
Date: 2022-07-11 03:02 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. This week poses risks to your health and well-being, so be sure to supplement with a B spectrum vitamin and Vitamin D, wear an amulet, and do a daily banishing ritual if you do that. The other side of potential imbalance here is overprotection (I feel that none of the above suggestions though are overdoing it) and being paranoid about little things that aren't important while ignoring much larger dangers.
For the Situation, you drew Ruis or Regret ill-dignified. This could mean you are beating yourself up for something or that someone else is unfairly blaming you or someone close to you for problems you had nothing to do with. It could also mean that you (or someone close to you) needs to do a mea culpa and isn't doing that.
For the Outcome, you drew Duir or Gifts well-dignified. This is the best card in the Ogham deck in my opinion and it indicates you making the absolute best out of whatever hand you are dealt this week.

Date: 2022-07-11 03:15 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. My Ogham predict that this week puts you in defense-mode. You handle it well and are able to deflect most of the drama. Nevertheless, this week presents dangers both physical and non-physical according to this card.
For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. This card confirms the suspicions raised by the previous card that there are some negative forces coming towards you and perhaps someone close to you. Be aware that there are dangers this week and that you should pray to your Holy Guardian Angel for guidance on it.
For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. Something in your life is not being allowed to age gracefully. Is it time to let go of anyone or any situation in particular or does this card signify you are not allowing yourself to rest? The opposite possibility of imbalance is letting go too easily and not fighting for what is right.

Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2022-07-11 03:23 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week. All were ill-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence. There is temptation to indulge some not-so-great tendencies of yours and/or depression rears its ugly head. The opposite possibility of imbalance is of the "I'm OK, You're OK" variety of papering over serious problems in order to pretend things are better than they are. Better to be brutally honest about the good as well as the bad.
For the Situation, you drew Oír or Epiphany. You or someone close to you has a moment of truth and it could be painful. I often have epiphanies about people and things I cannot change. They're not pleasant, but they are necessary!
For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles. Ill-dignified, this could be talking about trying to force your will or to demand a resolution where none can be had. On the opposite side of imbalance, it may mean you lack the necessary force when push comes to shove and that you give up too easily.
Good morning

Re: Good morning
Date: 2022-07-11 03:32 am (UTC)My Ogham do not believe your loved one has been cursed by the former neighbor. They provide Beith or Beginnings ill-dignified to answer that question, which means it wasn't that person specifically. I asked if they have been cursed by some other human and my Ogham answered in the affirmative with Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. Unfortunately quite a few humans throw curses around willy nilly (I used to be one of them) and one or more has landed on your loved one.
The nature of this depressed person's problem reveals itself in the Ogham few Luis or Protection ill-dignified. Your loved one most likely is suffering from etheric starvation, which is a very real phenomenon that no doctor knows how to address. Getting out in the sunlight, eating lovingly prepared food, taking in some comedy or humor, and living in a clean, orderly environment can go a long way in helping remedy etheric starvation. If the loved one is amenable, maybe suggest they work through the Fellowship of the Hermetic Rose materials.

My question is: why is my mom the way she is? The Ogham will know what I mean specifically.
Thank you for your time.

Date: 2022-07-11 03:45 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Eadha or Limits well-dignified. Eadha is a great card to draw well-dignified -- one of the very best. The reason is that it means you've gotten into the swing of working within your existing limits, and that is extremely powerful. Make observations this week on how working with limits brings you success.
For the Situation, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. You (and perhaps someone close to you) can kick back and enjoy the fruits of your labors this week. You've earned it. Look specifically for factors you've put in place that are now bringing happy returns: this isn't necessarily on the physical plane, either. For instance, cultivating kindness in yourself isn't necessarily lucrative, but it returns as kindness thrown back your way.
For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. There may be a temptation to speak when you don't know what you are talking about or you may run into a blowhard who demonstrates that the ones who talk the most aren't worth listening to.

Date: 2022-07-11 06:07 pm (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. This card does not imply an absence of worry, but it does indicate strength and robustness with worry put in its proper place. Luis is the card of your Holy Guardian Angel/Higher Self. Look for it reaching out to communicate with you this week.
For the Situation, you drew Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. The world of strangers, machines, and tech may not be so friendly this week to you and those close to you. Another possibility here is a longing for recognition on your part or someone close to you. This longing will go unfulfilled. You can help counter this force by appreciating the good deeds of other humans in your life, whether it is being kind to someone who lives with you in your home or writing a good review for a company that gave you excellent service. Good recognition begets good recognition.
For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Perseverance well-dignified. You are well prepared for turbulent times. Most of this sort of preparation is mental. It's all too easy to fall into the trap of over-preparedness, for instance Guy McPherson, who quit his tenured university position and moved to a doomstead that proved unsustainable. Underpreparedness is otherwise known as "kicking the can down the road" and this is what most people do -- they damn their children and grandchildren to living unsustainably and hope future generations will clean up the mess. People who live in a more balanced way are worth more than gold.
Me-opagans?
Date: 2022-07-10 04:46 pm (UTC)What does the Ogham think of me attending the neopagan event in August?
Re: Me-opagans?
Date: 2022-07-11 06:16 pm (UTC)They give you Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified, which I take to mean as generosity of spirit on your part that will attract those of like mind. The wokesters had their takeover of the neopagan scene -- they came, they saw, they infiltrated. Now that wokeness has taken some major blows (failure of the vaccines, globalism beginning to circle the drain) maybe the sane polytheists can start rebuilding in the rubble.

Date: 2022-07-10 06:24 pm (UTC)My first question: what do I need to know to make the best of this week?
My second question: I have a second interview coming up for a job “A” that could replace my current job. The biggest caveat is that this new position wouldn’t lead me towards the new career path I believe I need to move onto – it would just be a potentially better version of my current job. Nevertheless, what does your Ogham think about this position?
Thanks!

Date: 2022-07-11 06:24 pm (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified, which can mean a few things. It could mean you have an excess of hygiene, which is otherwise known as "healthing yourself to death" by over-exercising or trying to curate every single thing you eat via diet. It can also mean doing the opposite, stuffing your face with whatever is there, and letting health issues run roughshod over you with no real attempt to fix them. It can also mean astral clutter of the sort caused by too much media intake and not enough time outdoors.
For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. You spread enough love around for it to come back your way this week. Those around you benefit and are inspired to act with similar gratitude.
For the Outcome, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. If there is drama this week, you rise above it. The Ogham give you kudos for pulling yourself out of the trance that most people dwell within.
As for the replacement job, my Ogham like it. They provide Luis or Protection well-dignified, which is to say that you can use this position to become more secure, especially if you view it as a temporary means to a resilient end.

Date: 2022-07-11 06:30 pm (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. Koad is a mix of factors you have put in place and stuff over which you have no control (fate). This week it may be a bit unsavory, so be sure to discriminate between that which you've caused and that which you have not caused.
For the Situation, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. You or someone close to you may be suffering from the psychology of previous investment, otherwise known as clinging to a failing model but not realizing the first step out of the hole is to stop digging. There is also the possibility of a bad or thin harvest. I tend to get this card every summer when finances are thin because I don't teach as much in the summer with people on vacation.
For the Outcome, you drew Beith or Beginnings/Intention well-dignified. You have some good energy to begin anew this week. It is a good week to turn over a new leaf, begin a new project, make some new friends, or refresh a corner of your living space.

Date: 2022-07-11 06:45 pm (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. You run a risk of taking the good things in your life for granted this week. If there is a chance to celebrate, kick back, relax, or go on an outing, take it and don't be parsimonious about it. The opposite potential of imbalance is that you party hearty and overdo it by overindulging, spending too much, sleeping past all the alarms, and causing damage to yourself because of reckless abandon. Knowing ahead of time gives you the opportunity to head this off at the pass.
For the Situation position, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. This seems to be in line with the first card as it shows imbalance related to overprotection (parsimony) or underprotection (partying like its 1999). Someone close to you may be adding to this imbalance or experiencing it along with you.
For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret ill-dignified. There is potentially a cycle at work here of beating yourself up and then sinking into the same self-defeating behavior or behaviors. The Ogham suggest you contemplate what is going on here and then take an "I don't do that anymore" stance and firmly reject the behavior as the domain of your former self.

Date: 2022-07-11 06:53 pm (UTC)You and your family drew three cards this week.
For the You or most immediate position, the Ogham provide Mór or Sea Change. Mór represents your milieu or the confluence of factors that you have no control over. This week, they are auspicious. Because of this lucky streak, it is a good week to think over major changes, to make big purchases, and to pay off debts.
For the Situation, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. There may be a tendency for you or someone in your family to provide too much information or for someone to try and barge into the family dynamic without an invitation. Another possibility is someone feeling very alone and unappreciated. It's a good week to contemplate the borders between self and others.
For the Outcome, you drew Beith or Intention ill-dignified. You or someone in the family may feel like their get up and go got up and went. There is a possibility of going in too many different directions and not having enough energy for any of them, or of good intentions gone awry as good intentions often do. The remedy for this is the common Ogham refrain of "give those intentions the proper thought they deserve."
