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 17. 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.

Re: Week 29
Date: 2022-07-18 04:25 am (UTC)My Ogham have been providing an extraordinary run of either all well-dignified or all ill-dignified readings lately, not just for others but for me as well. For instance, yesterday I had a great day but it was an all ill-dignified reading. Today your reading is three ill-dignified cards.
For the You position, you drew Koad or Confluence. When ill-dignified, my Ogham are trying to get you to look at the bad stuff in your life and to get very serious about separating the wheat from the chaff as far as personal culpability is concerned. There is an imbalance here of blame and responsibility. Whether this is matters of health, finance, relationships, or even past life karma, I have no idea.
For the Situation, you drew Beith or Beginnings. It is very possible that you or someone close to you feels like your/their get up and go got up and went this week. There is also a possibility of being too distracted or eclectic and the eclecticism being a net loss.
For the Outcome, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. Though this can be warning of smothering someone with love in a negative way or being smothered in the same sense, it often means a kind of super-generous giving that is bound to return as a blessing because it is selfless and given unconditionally.
Vaccinated
Date: 2022-07-17 08:03 am (UTC)Is there a way of asking what type of dreadful thing will happen to the vaccinated after 10 years or so.
When i asked about the future of Europe for the next 10 years the response was that something dreadful was emerging around 10 years from now (mass infertility?).
Thanks

Re: Vaccinated
Date: 2022-07-18 04:39 am (UTC)The incredibly creepy part of this card's appearance is that it showed up twice in the November 2027 readings I did for the vaxxed (Onn ill-dignified) and the unvaxxed (Onn well-dignified). Synchronicity ahoy...
Here is what the Ogham had to say in the vaxxed reading for November 2027:
https://kimberlysteele.dreamwidth.org/48252.html
"For the final Karma card of the November 2027 reading, the vaxxed got Onn or Communication ill-dignified. Broken communities? That has already happened. We may also be looking at broken countries. Personally, I have seen the writing on the wall and have made a major decision to downsize. It hurts and there is still much pride to be swallowed, but I am trudging forward knowing that the world I used to live in pre-Covid is over. This card hints at the alternate societies that are springing up as we speak in response to vaccine mania."
Here is what they had to say in the unvaxxed reading for 2027:
https://kimberlysteele.dreamwidth.org/48665.html
"For the Outcome, my Ogham provide Onn or Community well-dignified. The Unvaxxed will rebuild communities at the grassroots level -- hopefully this means the trend of mom and dads running for local school boards and deep involvement in local civics will continue. Internet personality Tarl Warwick/Styxhexenhammer666 makes the excellent point that presidencies and governorships are not as important as local board positions. Real change comes from local leadership. My Ogham point to the disintegration of the old ways of atomized families, weird affluenza competitions with people you don't know, and digital immersion for the new ways of generosity towards one's neighbors, voluntary simplicity, and true human connection. I sincerely hope they are right."
I'm used to the Ogham speaking directly in this fashion, nevertheless this card popping up gives me the chills. They have maintained their stance that the die-off the vaxxed are experiencing right now (and trying to hide) will continue unabated. I think the real question is what does the world look like when the only people able to have healthy children are the unvaccinated? Illinois may not be a tenable place to live because without children, the economy will collapse like the house of cards it is. Everything here in the posh suburbs was ostensibly built to serve children and young parents. If my Ogham are correct, in five to ten years, there will only be half the number (or less) of children and young adults that are here now. That's a Black Plague level event -- the only difference is it isn't happening within a single year.

That said what can I expect from the week to come?
no subject
Date: 2022-07-18 04:51 am (UTC)Goodness gracious, it's another all ill-dignified reading. I was just commenting that my Ogham have had a banner month for either all well-dig or ill-dig readings. Keep in mind I had an absolutely great day Saturday, and that was on an all ill-dignified reading. I did feel forewarned that I would suffer some fatigue (Beith or Beginnings ill-dig), that I would have a negative-ish epiphany that I was very behind on some work stuff (Oír or Epiphany ill-dig), and that I would be tempted to run my mouth (Coll or Wisdom ill-dig).
For the You position, you drew Luis or Protection. Ill-dignified it means that you could be in some physical or astral danger, so definitely pray for yourself and pray to be enlightened as to what the dangers are. Another risk is overprotection or the abuse of protection -- hoarding and overprepping instead of building human relationships and being genuine is a good example of how overprotection puts those who do it at risk.
For the Situation, you drew Tinne or Defense. You and someone close to you are either not as well-defended as you/they would like to think or once again, you are overdefensive and it makes you weirdly vulnerable. My Ogham are surely calling you to meditate on the nature of defense and war. Who or what do you consider yourself at war with? Who or what opposes you and/or threatens you and your way of life and how do you choose to deal with it?
For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace. There is an inability or unwillingness to let go of what is past its prime. This could also mean a straight up lack of rest when rest is most needed. Watch out for the psychology of previous investment. Brutal honesty is necessary to root out outmoded ways of thinking without making the mistake of throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Date: 2022-07-17 12:40 pm (UTC)Can the Ogham provide any clues as to when the heat wave in my area will break? Not sure if this is something they can be used for, but figured it was worth a shot.
no subject
Date: 2022-07-18 04:55 am (UTC)For the number of weeks or months, I asked the Ogham to show me in number of cross-hatches or staves (there are always one to five cross-hatches in the main suits of the Ogham). They gave Ruis or Regret, which has five cross-hatches. Unfortunately it's going to be five more weeks from what my Ogham have to say. That said, you could try praying to Hera. She brings rain and cool winds. I have a feeling my garden would look much worse if I hadn't scored her Orphic hymn a year or so ago...

Date: 2022-07-18 05:00 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Beith or Beginnings well-dignified. You have a good steady energy this week and your intentions are well-crafted. Enhance your best tendencies this week by avoiding distraction and thinking about a very narrow set of limits that will get you what you truly want.
For the Situation, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. This is fairly straightforward: you will likely be tempted to run your mouth or say too much this week. Don't! Another possibility is that you will have to suffer an ignorant person or group of people.
For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. The best defense is being prepared for a wide variety of outcomes, and that means thinking things through. You manage to draw proper boundaries around yourself this week and this is very helpful as an example to others, especially the young and impressionable.

no subject
Date: 2022-07-18 05:06 am (UTC)For this week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. Your general setting or milieu has come down with a case of bad juju. Maybe it's a flare up of astral pollution in your area or bad weather in some other sense. Either way, it's not a week to make any major decisions or to do anything that requires a healthy dose of good luck. Wear an amulet!
For the Situation, you drew Duir or Gifts well-dignified. Gratitude and generosity open doors for you this week. If you let your genuineness and your best self shine this week, you will be rewarded. Others around you may be displaying generosity as well because this card is in Situation.
For the Outcome, you drew Oir or Epiphany ill-dignified. You'll have a realization of a not entirely positive nature, such as that a situation or person cannot be helped no matter what you or anyone does, or that trouble lies down a certain path. A great deal of the time only thing you can change is your reaction.

Thank you for your time.
no subject
Date: 2022-07-18 05:09 am (UTC)They provide Ur or Intimacy well-dignified, meaning that it would be really good if your knowledge gets to those who need it who can use it to make deeply personal and highly unforeseen improvements in their lives. It will also be good for you because you'll gain kindred spirits and connect with people who think in similar ways to you.

no subject
Date: 2022-07-18 05:16 am (UTC)For the You position, you drew Saille or Sensitivity. Ill-dignified, it means it is time to clear out some old baggage, and this could be literal, figurative, or both. You simply don't have time to do everything you set out to do, so choose what is essential and what is dear and mercilessly cut out the rest, even the stuff you are lukewarm or undecided about. Marie Kondo would ask "Does it spark joy?"
For the Situation, you drew Oír or Epiphany. Hard and necessary realizations come your way and it is entirely possible the only thing you can control about them is your reaction. Some things and people cannot be helped or trusted.
For the Outcome, you drew Quert or Delight. Don't let the rudeness of our times make you into its image. Remember the small courtesies, details, and be grateful to your core. It's the only way to fight the wendigo of greed and consumerism that seeks to make a mess out of us so we will buy more crap.

From:house
Date: 2022-07-17 04:54 pm (UTC)Thanks for doing this. You've done a few readings for me and they have been broadly correct. Sometimes it takes me some time to discern if the Ogham are referring to what I might call macro influences or micro influences. E.g. matters in the wider world or related more to home, family, personal. Si, thanks again.
I am considering a house at the moment. Could you ask the ogham if it is a good idea to pur in an offer? If no, perhaps they have a view on continuing to look in this area.
Thank you

I hope that helps suss out some of the readings.
My Ogham say go for it and submit an offer. They provide Onn or Community well-dignified, meaning they think it's worth going after.

Date: 2022-07-18 05:28 am (UTC)Ooh, neat, I did not see that! Do you remember when and where JMG wrote about the nine day cycle? Maybe I'll ask him about that for Magic Monday.
This nine-day week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. You exemplify the power of keeping one or more secrets; this makes you trustworthy and well worth knowing and getting to know. If you have close human relationships, these are very harmonious this week.
For the Situation, you drew Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified. Bad advice comes your way (hopefully it is not you giving it, so be watchful and potentially self-censoring) and/or there is an untrustworthy guru that others are putting faith in much to their detriment. This could also mean people wandering around blindly seduced by a bad narrative and you having no choice but to deal with the consequences of their actions.
For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. You have a niche and you are able to use it. There is warmth in your local world between you and the semi-strangers we all depend upon to get anything done in life.

no subject
Date: 2022-07-18 05:32 am (UTC)Take this with a grain of salt, of course.
For "Is K. doing more harm than good?" They answer Yes. They provide Tinne or Defense well-dignified, meaning that K. may be functioning out of fear. Acting out of fear has the blowback of causing damage in unforeseen places and ways. Better to strike at the root and deal with fear first.
For the second question, No, they don't believe you should stay with K. They give Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified, meaning that K. is unsound or unhealthy in some physical or mental way (or both) and that it does not bode well for the future.

Date: 2022-07-17 07:04 pm (UTC)I have a two parter here. I have discovered someone has not been completely honest with me about some not small things. I think I need to walk away but I really don’t want to. Does the oracle think That I would benefit from walking away and if I would benefit from ending it would I have a better outcome if I just went away quietly or If I confront this person.
Thanks as always
Will O
no subject
Date: 2022-07-18 05:38 am (UTC)They provide all ill-dignified cards... again.
I asked them if you would benefit from walking away and they said No. They provide Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified, meaning that you need to give it time and chill out instead of forcing a confrontation or going radio silent by walking away.
Then I asked them if you would benefit from confronting the person (since they said you should not walk away) and they provided Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. My Ogham seem to think you don't have a complete picture of what is going on. You also need to watch what you say so that you don't blurt out what you will later regret.
Then I asked them what you should do. They provided Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. I think they are trying to warn against sharing too much with this person. I think they are saying cool the connection down considerably but try to remain cordial. Withdraw but don't go away from their life entirely. Give yourself time to think and maybe let them explain their purview and reserve judgement until you hear the whole story and have time to meditate on it.

Date: 2022-07-18 05:49 am (UTC)My Ogham give you Ioho or Grace ill-dignified for the experience itself. The Ogham think the experience should jog your thoughts towards the contemplation of the beauty of decay and why the old must die in order for the new to be born. So many in our civilization have engaged in a collective freakout over letting go of what is past its prime, a.k.a. death. Maybe have a look at my entry for Ioho at https://druidogham.wordpress.com/the-fews-earth/ioho/ and it can get your thought processes going as to how it pertains to your experience, which of course I know nothing about.
For proceeding with it, my Ogham provide Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. This has been put towards you as a form of initiation. Either you passed the exam or indications are strong you'll come through. Use this experience as a thrust block to enhance your understanding and to use for future proofing sessions.

Re: Weekly what's up
Date: 2022-07-18 04:36 pm (UTC)This week you have three cards.
For the You position, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. You've taken your lumps and you aren't at risk at making the same mistakes again. That said, observe this place of balance and make note of it for later. You aren't blaming yourself unnecessarily but you are also not arrogantly presuming you are not at fault. The amount of blame right now is the kind that fosters learning experience instead of continued ignorance.
For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. No matter what you do, you cannot cover all the bases and make the world safe for you and your loved ones. You have to accept that this is what it is and make the best out of it.
For the Outcome, you drew Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. Koad is a mix of factors you cannot control along with some that you can. Overall, it's crappy this week, so discern the few things you can improve and go about doing that.
Re: Weekly what's up
From:Political events
Date: 2022-07-17 09:24 pm (UTC)Well a couple of weeks ago you said that this month would be a doozy, and it certainly has been both personally and in the wider world. I am still processing your advice on the personal side, there is still much to chew on there.
In the wider world, that very week we had the big assassination here of a major political figure. He had been dethroned a couple of years ago from the top job, but was still very active behind the scenes. It seems it was too much for some powers and they acted to reduce his influence. Alas this was in a very directly physical way.
If it is ok to ask, what does the Ogham have to say about this and the effect on his country stemming from this event?
Thanks.
Re: Political events
Date: 2022-07-18 04:42 pm (UTC)My Ogham think that his assassination did not have the effect intended by his assassins. They provide Ruis or Regret well-dignified, meaning he has no regrets. He has accepted the hand fate dealt and he's busy going through the steps of his afterlife, so it's not like he's terribly upset about it. It looks like those who assassinated him will be the regretful ones though as my Ogham say they've made him into a martyr. Now the bad things he did will be glossed over and the good things amplified because he's dead via foul play.
As for the country, it's actually good. The Ogham provide Duir or Gifts well-dignified, meaning that some positive renewal may come out of this mess after all.

Date: 2022-07-17 09:49 pm (UTC)I'm going to ask for some advice a bit further out than just this week.
I want to know where I should focus my time, effort, and energy in the next few years.
Which of the following should I focus on, with the understanding that the answer might be none, just one, or more than one?
- My current job (the main one here in town, not the old freelance thing I'm trying to let go of), and/or the new freelance work I've picked up?
- Learning more about growing and using medicinal herbs
- Occult studies
- Taking care of people who may be depending on me
- Something else (if this, then I have no idea what the "else" might be)
Thank you again for this service!
And apologies in advance if this is a bit more convoluted of a question than usual. But I feel like I need advice on where to put put my focus in the slightly longer term of a few years.
Jan
no subject
Date: 2022-07-18 04:57 pm (UTC)My Ogham provide six cards to answer your questions.
For your questions about focusing on your current job, they say No, you shouldn't make it your focus. They provide Ioho or Grace ill-dignified, meaning the more you focus on it, the more it will become exhausting and problematic.
As for your new freelance work, they don't care for it either. They provide Koad or Confluence ill-dignified, meaning they don't think it will last and depending on it is not wise. Pay off debt and save as much as you can (personally I have no savings, only debt, so don't feel bad if you're the same) and look for other side hustles.
For your third question, my Ogham think you ought to put lots of time and effort into learning herbs/growing. They provide Phagos or Teaching, meaning herbal knowledge will help you well into the end of this lifetime. You have potential to become a healer, and though that healing may be contained to you and your loved ones because of legalities and allopathic protection rackets, it is still an extremely crucial skill set you can take into your future lifetimes.
For your fourth question, my Ogham give you the green light and think you should study the occult. They provide Nuin or Communication, meaning that you are going to make many incorporeal and corporeal acquaintances by immersing yourself in occult knowledge.
For taking care of the people who may be depending on you, they provide Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. They are saying be generous to a fault with those people and if you do, you will always be loved and provided for, not just by them but by the Universe itself. You give what you get, and if you're truly generous in spirit, you get seven or more times what you gave.
For the last question, they say you need to focus on building local community. They provide Onn or Community ill-dignified, meaning that you have yet to find your niche and be happy where you've landed. It is time to make the most of where you are right now and plan on staying for a while.
Hope this helps.

Date: 2022-07-18 12:21 am (UTC)Last week's reading seems to have been spot on. Now I find myself in a situation I didn't think would be an issue at all.
This week I would like to ask the Ogham a few questions:
1. Will I encounter any more outside issues with storage, loading, and transportion of our stuff to the rental house in Texas?
2. Will the buyer be ready and able to close on or before the contract date? (If no, will this contract fall through?)
3. Will there be any further issues or delays with the check I'm counting on to pay my shipping costs?
Thank you for this,
-MF
P.S. while I could have done better with my pre-planning I am glad that I took the advice to take it cautious and easy this week.
Re: Almost ready
Date: 2022-07-18 05:05 pm (UTC)My Ogham don't seem to think you'll encounter any more significant outside issues with storage, loading, and transportation to the rental house. They provide Onn or Community ill-dignified, meaning previous issues most likely arose from the incompetence of locals.
For the "Will the buyer be ready and able to close?" It's not a great question because readiness and ability do not equal concrete action. The Ogham provide Tinne or Defense ill-dignified, meaning that No, they will not be ready and able. Nevertheless, your "Will the contract fall through?" question is answered by the Ogham with No, so they seem to think it will go through by the hair of your chinny-chin chin. They provide Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified, which predicts the situation will be a bit of a mess but it will go through all the same.
For the issues and delays question, they don't foresee any significant problems. They provide Luis or Protection ill-dignified, which is a No, but it also warns you that you are playing with fire in general where these matters are concerned. Once this is over, they recommend taking a hard and calculating look at these events and what patterns and attachments led to them.

Date: 2022-07-18 12:50 am (UTC)I live about 500 miles from my sisters and mother, and have not visited them in several years. I stay in "light touch" with the sisters. My elderly mother, who would likely be a hermit if she could, prefers just a weekly phone call. This all works fine for me.
However, my sense is that I would not be truly welcome were I to physically turn up at some point. Do the Ogham concur?
As honest communication is a rare beast in my family, would the Ogham indicate what their overall perception of me is? I am truly curious. This would be through the eyes/minds of three people: Mom, Vanessa, and lastly Vicki.
Thanks as always,
Valerie
Re: Family Dynamics
Date: 2022-07-18 05:33 pm (UTC)My Ogham say your mom loves you and sees you as resilient. They provide Straif or Strife well-dignified, which is to say that your mom appreciates the person you've become and perceives you as strong and well-adjusted.
For Vanessa, they think she has a high opinion of you. They provide Phagos or Teaching, which means she sees you as a smart cookie. She acknowledges you as having mastery and respects you as a teacher.
For Vicki, you got Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. Vicki perceives you as not living within your limits, and this may be projection of the shadow on her part. She perceives you as limited in some way, and that casts you in an unflattering light in her eyes.
