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.
I will be taking August 28 off, so please keep in mind I will not be reading the last Sunday in August. I will be back the following week.
For a more in depth look into how I read and interpret the Ogham's symbols, please visit my website druidogham.wordpress.com.
Reading requests are concluded for July 24, 2022. Thank you for your interest in my Ogham readings and see you next week!
Week 30 (version 2)
Date: 2022-07-24 04:21 am (UTC)Hi Kimberly,
I have possibly 2 questions this week:
1. What do I need to know in order to make the best out of this week?
2. I'm not sure if this question is out-of-bounds or too vague, so I understand if it won't be answered. I'm trying to model the template time-wise on your previous readings regarding the vacked and not-vacked (spelling choice is deliberate :-) )
What does the Ogham have to say about my present and future? I would prefer to be vague as to what time in the future I'm asking about, but if some specificity is recommended, I'd say in the next 5 years.
Thank you!
-Eugene
Re: Week 30 (version 2)
Date: 2022-07-25 04:12 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. This indicates a personal propensity towards imbalance. It could be a psychology of previous investment where you're sinking into old ruts and habits out of convenience. It could also mean that you're impatient about some part of your life or that something isn't going to turn out the way you want it to.
For the Situation, you drew Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified. Someone comes to a realization or makes a judgement that paints a situation in the wrong light. Hopefully the "someone" is not you, if so, be ready to open up your mind a bit more. If it is someone else, it's probably best to forgive them and move on.
For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. Being alert and prepared this week helps you to fend off bad luck and unhappiness; that said, be on the lookout and be diligent this week about health and orderliness.
For your question about your present, they provide Quert or Delight well-dignified. Quert is the appreciation of little things that makes life worth living. Your best strategy is to focus on the small things and courtesies with those you have disagreements with and avoid the topic of disagreement. I do this with family and friends with whom I disagree, usually on politics, veganism, or some other touchy angle. Life is very short. Too short to lose friends and family because I can't manage to keep my more controversial opinions to myself for a few hours.
For your question about the future, they give Luis or Protection ill-dignified. There is danger close by where you are concerned. We live in dangerous times.
Move out week
Date: 2022-07-24 05:19 am (UTC)The check I asked about last week arrived today just as the Ogham predicted. I thought on the issues that lead to that situation and I realized that I don't properly value money as a limited resource tool. That is powerful going into the next stage of my adventure.
This week I would like to ask the Ogham what I need to focus on to meet this week's schedule?
Thanks as always,
-MF
Re: Move out week
Date: 2022-07-25 04:18 am (UTC)Thanks for the feedback!
The Ogham give you three cards this week.
For the You position, they provide Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. There is a temptation to either share too much information or to scuttle away like a hermit crab... try to find a more reasonable medium between the two extremes. If there is a person you are very close to, feelings may be rocky this week.
For the Situation, you drew Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. There isn't a bad side to Duir, which implies a state of generosity. Gifts come your way that you can be grateful for. Use them to transform yourself into a more generous person in every moment.
For the Outcome, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. The rough era is passing and you are going to make it. The old trifling jerks and bad situations no longer have the power to drag you down.
Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2022-07-24 06:41 am (UTC)Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2022-07-25 04:25 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. You put regret in its proper place this week and use it as a learning tool instead of beating yourself up unnecessarily or vainly telling yourself "I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken." Regret is powerful when you treat it right. You can avoid lots of drama.
For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. You or someone close to you would do well to be careful this week about health, wellness, and ordinary precautions that are easy to lose track of. This could also indicate that someone is not going with the advice of their Holy Guardian Angel or going against their own conscience.
For the Outcome, you drew Fearn or Guidance well-dignified. You build your connection with a divine mentor this week. Prayer is fruitful and you gain an answer to at least one of your questions. It's not necessarily the one you expect or want, however, so keep that in mind.
Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2022-07-25 04:28 am (UTC)Does anyone ever draw more or less than three cards?
Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2022-07-25 05:01 am (UTC)Usually three is my default number for readings unless people ask a simple Yes or No question. Gotta love those Druid ternaries...

Date: 2022-07-24 09:22 am (UTC)1. What's up this week?
2. Recently I began a romantic affair with O.E. - I'm moving out of town in a few months and this person is recently single from a long term relationship, so I don't think the two of us will be together for a very long time, but what do you Ogham say will be the outcome if I keep things going with her for now?
3. I was recently contacted about a couple concerts with a bandleader I work with somewhat regularly, but I've lately been feeling like putting that part of my life behind me. What would be the outcome if I were to bail on these shows and get on with things now?
Thanks as always for your time, and I hope you have a good week until we speak again.

Date: 2022-07-25 04:37 am (UTC)This week may be a bit of a doozy -- all three cards were ill-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Huath or Obstacles. When Huath is ill-dignified, it means you're in danger of committing an overreach, trying to force an outcome, or generally applying too much willpower bull in a china shop style. On the other side of imbalance, it can mean running away when you need to stand up and fight.
For the Situation, you drew Tinne or Defense. There will be a reason to draw up your defenses, hopefully not physical ones. Try to reasonably assess risks. Understand that acting too harshly in defense is unhelpful and counterproductive, for instance the paranoid health freak who ends up jogging herself into anorexia, or my pet example of the family who moves to the suburbs "for the kids" and ends up in a car accident because there is almost no such thing as a walkable suburb.
For the Outcome, you drew Koad or Grove ill-dignified, which points to some matters being out of your control but others caused by you and therefore within your ability to change. Overall, look at all the factors this (crappy) week and be very specific about what you are culpable for and what you are not.
For Question 2 about O.E., they provide Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. The Ogham seem to think you are unmatched intellectually with O.E. and that will be the primary reason it won't work out.
For Question 3, they don't think it's a good idea to bail on the shows. They provide Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified, meaning that it's not an appropriate time to give up on that part of yourself.

Date: 2022-07-25 04:47 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. Watch out for imbalances of force, either too much or too little. For instance, you might have the urge to come on too strong, to insert your opinion at the wrong time, or to drive yourself too hard. Oppositely, you might have the urge to recoil when you should spring forward. Try to live somewhere in the middle.
For the Situation, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. The world of strangers is beneficial this week and tech behaves the way we'd all like it to for the most part. It is a good week to gather or spread information. It's also a good week to buy and sell.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. There is psychic clutter that leads to physical clutter. Clearing one could end up clearing the other, but try not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The opposite imbalance is numbness or obtuseness, and the Ogham suggest focusing on compassion and empathy to avoid that sort of imbalance if you sense it happening.

Date: 2022-07-25 03:03 am (UTC)The first six months of this year have marked a transformation in my life, and a consequent defining of new goals in my life and changes I can/will make to achieve these goals. What does your Ogham suggest I need to do to make the best of the remaining months of this year?
no subject
Date: 2022-07-25 04:59 am (UTC)For the You position, they provide Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. It's easy to go to extremes when you're suddenly more comfortable. Perhaps you or your dependent is a bit of a spendthrift or its opposite, parsimonious and always fretting about a rainy day. I think the Ogham are saying it's OK to relax a bit but don't go crazy with it. Neither should you go all Scrooge McDuck nor should you build the deluxe solar heated in-ground pool. There is a balance to be had and I'm going to guess it involves moderate amounts of relaxation, beer, (if that's your thing) and laughs.
For the Situation, they provide Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. You are still letting go of an old modality that needs to be left behind. There may be a tendency to overwork or to be overworked. It is possible those close to you are the ones not letting go of old ways of life.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity. When ill-dig, it means there is a need to let go of psychological and physical baggage. The material often reflects the mental state. On the opposite side, there could be a lack of compassion or sensitivity necessary or brittleness in not being able to move with the time and the situation.
Ogham for the month
Date: 2022-07-24 03:22 pm (UTC)Re: Ogham for the month
Date: 2022-07-26 01:40 am (UTC)You drew three cards for next month.
For the You or most immediate card, you drew Beith or Intention well-dignified. You'll have a thoughtful and productive month. You'll go forward with the appropriate amount of energy and you will generally make the right decision when faced with a choice.
For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. Hygiene can straight up mean you're not caring for yourself adequately or you've allowed yourself to become disorganized and untidy. Since it is in Situation, your messes affect others and theirs affect you. Alternately, Ngetal warns of purge-style cleaning, extreme dieting, and other overreactions to disorder that become disorders themselves, such as eating disorders.
For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. The psychology of previous investment may be at play, so be aware so you can extricate yourself from a rut or at the very least, stop digging the hole. Other possibilities are getting less than you expected or feeling like you've gotten something you don't deserve, for better or for worse.

Date: 2022-07-26 01:48 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards this week. For the You position, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. This points to feeling worn out. I often draw it when my finances are thin. Another possibility is that you are chasing the wrong thing/person/goal and the Ogham are trying to get you to consider it.
For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. Ngetal can easily refer to health, and in Situation it also affects those around you or comes from those around you. Take extra health precautions, but don't go overboard into the opposite imbalance, which involves the other extreme of chasing a "perfect" diet or appearance or puts faith in miracle cures.
For the Outcome, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. You will find you have someone to lean on this week, though the Ogham are not sharing with me if the mentor is human or non-corporeal and divine. This good karma you have earned because you have lended a helping hand to others in the past.
no subject
Date: 2022-07-26 01:53 am (UTC)The worn out part is likely just related to having a lot of deadline pressure this week, plus it's hot and sticky and my office has no air conditioning, so I think "feeling worn out" was a foregone conclusion for me this week.
As for the rest, I will reflect on it and pay attention!

Date: 2022-07-24 07:53 pm (UTC)What warnings or advice does the Ogham have for my visit?
no subject
Date: 2022-07-26 02:04 am (UTC)Yikes, sounds excruciating. Those are the sorts of Christians that give the whole lot of them a bad name.
You drew three cards for the trip.
For the You position, you drew Koad or Confluence well-dignified. Overall, your trip is a good idea and will go well. You are prepared mentally for their crap and that's no small thing: you can deflect a great deal of their projection by keeping your expectations low. Personally, when I have dealt with difficult people, refusing to react and keeping a perfectly calm poker face tends to work very well.
For the Situation, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. Knowing your way around technology helps you during your trip, and the world of strangers is helpful as well. Deflecting their dissonance with humor (and maintaining your sense of humor at all times) will be a potent defense.
For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community ill-dignified. My Ogham warn that the Covidian cult may attempt to close ranks on you. Keep in mind many Covidians are barking, raving insane and are a few brain cells away from kidnapping the unquaxxed and stabbing them repeatedly with Pfizer and Moderna boosters. Anything to avoid being honest with themselves and assuming responsibility for the damage they have done. The less said about the quax, the better.
Weekly update and reading
Date: 2022-07-24 08:08 pm (UTC)Well my first week of training was interesting. Had a trainer that loved going on about how strict she was, worked three jobs at sixteen, I'm sure you've seen the type, even boasted about often not taking any breaks at all during a shift, makes me wonder what the actual job will be like.
The training was a bunch of videos and a simulator that was down more often than up, tomorrow I start taking live calls and still not too sure what to do, I've been told this is normal, I rate the training 4/10.
As for the at war thing this gets interesting. I write fan stories for a series called Loud House, my fanfic isn't well called out because it calls out some of the more loved characters for their negative actions, like a girl threatening her brother with a baseball bat. A group of fans are going after anyone that disagrees with them and I'm in that group https://www.deviantart.com/yovan-loudster-jacob/art/Fake-Loud-House-Fans-922916565
Other than that it was a good week, got a lot accomplished, had some good food, looks like soon enough I'll be moving into a better place that is NOT falling apart and actually have room in my room!
Well with all that said, what can I expect in the coming week?
Re: Weekly update and reading
Date: 2022-07-26 02:13 am (UTC)For this week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. You are indeed on the right track and this week you'll get plenty accomplished just like the last one. You are focused but not obsessively so. Your expectations are realistic enough to come true.
For the Situation, you drew Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. The world of strangers is unfriendly and tech may not work the way you would like it to work. The Loud House kerfuffle will likely remain the same or get worse.
For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. You keep what is important to keep to yourself private this week, resisting the temptation to spill the beans in. If you are called upon to share intel, you do so with the right people at the right time.

Date: 2022-07-26 02:19 am (UTC)My Ogham say Yes and they provide Luis or Protection well-dignified. That said, go forward with skepticism and prudence because Protection indicates the need for caution.

Date: 2022-07-24 10:06 pm (UTC)Could you please do a quick reading for a job I just got.
And as cliche as it is could I ask you to do a reading on romantic potentials with a girl I've got in mind.
Thank you

Date: 2022-07-26 02:27 am (UTC)For the job, the Ogham provide Luis or Protection well-dignified, meaning the job has some potential to enhance your ability to shield yourself from the turbulence of life.
For the young woman, they provide Onn or Community for the short term potentials, which I take to mean that there is a good chance you go from friendly acquaintance to love interest. For the long term, they provide Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified, meaning she is an active person who values health of body and soul, so perhaps one way to her heart is to have a decent interest in your own physical fitness to show that you're not one of the many who takes health for granted out of laziness or indolence.
no subject
Date: 2022-07-26 02:59 am (UTC)Regarding the job, it's at a startup I recently found that a friend of mine is doing trying to build wood powered steam engines to as an alternative to diesel, e.g. for tractors. So in theory as oil becomes less available this will become better by comparison.
And regarding the young lady, it's good to get a reinforcement of my own divination's and understanding. We're both Virgo sun (conjunct) and she's Virgo Venus too. Virgo's definitely appreciate health and like to think things through before committing!
So I'll continue with slowly and steadily waiting for friendship to evolve into more. My Venus is in Leo and moon in Pisces so patience is annoying, oh well.
The fitness tip is helpful, I'll continue trying to incrementally improve that.
Did you get any idea of a timescale? I'm hoping I'll get a confirmation before the end of the year that I'm not the only one thinking of something more! (Saturn in my 7th, these things go slow)
Thanks!

Date: 2022-07-26 02:41 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards. For the You position (You and your family) you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. The family operates well as a unit this week, and all of you reap the good karma of being loving and supportive to each other.
For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. This isn't surprising because of what you shared about the doctor. Doctors often are put in too-powerful positions. Some of them choose to be a-holes about it. Expect more rancor from medical professionals this week.
For the Outcome, you and your family drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. You are taking the proper measures and you are reacting the way you should in order to defend your family.
For the doctor's appointment, you drew three ill-dignified cards. All of them suggest imbalances that should be addressed with a combination of thoughtfulness, perspective, and considered action.
For the You position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence. This matter will not be overcome the way you are going at it.
For the Situation, you drew Huath or Obstacles. You are either trying to force something to happen (the Ogham predict that you will fail) or you are not applying enough force. My feeling it is the first one but of course only you know.
For the Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom. When this one is ill-dignified, it means that someone is not doing the work it takes to gain the state of excellence that comes from diligent work. It's the pigeon strutting around the chessboard while crapping, thinking it has won the game. My Ogham suggest you look at your faith in doctors. Are you expecting miracles they cannot deliver?
no subject
Date: 2022-07-27 10:02 pm (UTC)For Huath ill-dignified, it could be both (too much force and not enough). We have a relationship with one such specialist, but the one that went south was the new one the pediatrician had referred our baby to. Maybe we should quit trying with this doc and take the baby to the one we already know and like. I spent Monday pushing the new practice and not the old. Hmm...
Before I saw this we ended up getting a new appointment with this practice's other office. I guess we'll see what happens.
>My Ogham suggest you look at your faith in doctors. Are you expecting miracles they cannot deliver?
The schedule we were told our child needed has not happened and probably will not. It's frustrating to be told "Your child needs this appointment within 2 months" and that not happen (that deadline arrives next week). I should probably chill out about both things (the necessity of this exact schedule and their ability to provide it).
Meanwhile...
A while back I read a doctor's book about malpractice cases he'd been an expert witness in.
The mistake that led to Monday's situation *is* something I could've noticed too. And the office blamed me for it and I apologized. And I will try harder to catch such mistakes in the future, since when they happen, it's the patient who lives with the consequences.
But...it's the same mistake that features in one of the cases in that book. It's something that maybe the patient / patient's parent *could* catch, but is really the doctor's office's responsibility to catch--well, according to the court in the case in the book, anyway.
(We're just lucky the consequences were nowhere near as bad for us as for the case in the book!)
