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.
New reading requests are concluded for the week of August 14, 2022. Please be patient as it takes me anywhere from 1-2 days to get to your reading. Thank you for your interest in my Ogham readings and see you next week!

Date: 2022-08-15 02:18 am (UTC)This week you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. This week it is tempting to err on the side of pessimism or to generally allow the crap of life to get you down. Keep your chin up and make the best out of whatever you're given.
For the Situation position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. This is much in the same vein as your previous card. There is a temptation to get snippy or morose. Because this is in Situation, it could be referring to someone close to you who isn't able to transcend pettiness or foul temper. The opposite problem (and oddly both sides of Ailm imbalance can easily happen at once) is false transcendence or bright-sidedness, where you or someone else refuses to realistically assess what is going wrong.
For the Outcome, you drew Eadha or Limits well-dignified. Recognizing your limits and the limits of the world you live in go a long way in fostering tranquility and good decisions this week. You may be presented with the challenge of being forced to let go of stuff, people, or attitudes this week and my Ogham say that you'll be able to eliminate that which is not helping you.
Week 33

Thanks!

Re: Week 33
Date: 2022-08-15 02:28 am (UTC)My Ogham predict a generally good week for you. All three cards were well-dignified.
For the You card, you drew Coll or Wisdom. This week you work slowly towards one of your grander and loftier goals in life, for instance learning about a subject dear to your heart, becoming kinder and more considerate, or making strides in healthy behaviors. Coll is the "chop wood, carry water" card of steadfast determination and indefatigable perseverance. It's not glamorous, but it's a winning strategy.
For the Situation, you drew Mór or Sea Change. Positivity is well within reach this week and with it good luck and good humor. It's a good week to make big changes or hatch major decisions. Mór in Situation points to harmonious family and friend life.
For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy. This is another happy relationship card, but it has a more subtle interpretation of well-kept secrets as the secret to that harmony. Secrets are what build trust, whether they are between you and a best friend or between you and your Holy Guardian Angel. We are always being tested to see if we can keep our mouths shut.

Date: 2022-08-14 04:51 am (UTC)For feedback on the single-Ogham week reading you gave me, I didn't really sense any bad luck this week. Everything seemed to work out smoothly - new job paperwork is coming in, gave notice at current job, social events went well, etc. I re-read your Ogham page on Mor and will consider what an ill-dignified reading meant in the context of the past week, and try to offer my guess.
What do I need to know to make the best of the rest of this month?
Thanks!
Also, this is not a question for the Ogham, as I think the answer would be redundant, but it's a sad message I got from my own divination. I've been learning geomancy and have gotten a few responses I was able to test and came out as accurate. I'm currently getting into dating and looking for a partner while living in the outskirts of a very blue city, and I asked the question, "should I be concerned about potential partners' Covid vaccination status?" You can guess the result.

You drew three cards for the rest of this month. All were ill-dignified. Though this is a warning that the rest of this month could be a doozy, I would note that I've had some of my best days on all ill-dignified readings. They exist to help alert to what kind of balances could potentially throw you off.
For the You position, you drew Muin or Harvest. On one side of imbalance, Muin is the psychology of previous investment. Bad habits and familiar ruts are tempting this week, as are lazy modes of thinking. On the other side, you may be counting your eggs before they are hatched or attempting to rush an outcome. Don't.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence. You or someone close to you may suffer some anger or depression. There is the temptation to reflect some low, not so good vibrations. It's oh so tempting when everyone is doing it! Alternately, keep an eye out for false transcendence, that "I'm OK, You're OK" false face, one size fits all approach that gives the Positivity Movement a bad name. As it is Situation, it could mean you are confronted with this sort of annoying force.
For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community. The world of semi-strangers is unhelpful at best. You feel like a square peg in a round hole. The two imbalances here are 1. Trying too hard to ingratiate yourself and force yourself into a niche that may not exist or 2. Black-pilling, declaring "all hope is lost!" and withdrawing to Forever Alone Island. As in all things, balance between the extremes is key.
Remainder of the year
Date: 2022-08-14 05:57 am (UTC)Re: Remainder of the year
Date: 2022-08-15 02:56 am (UTC)You drew three cards for the remainder of 2022.
For the You card, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. Quert in this dignity often means that you need to cultivate more gratitude of the sort that does not expect return on investment. One of the primary curses of modernity is how much we humans take for granted. Small actions such as thanking your bed upon getting up in the morning and thanking the water of your shower for cleansing you can go a long way in rectifying the imbalance.
For the Situation, you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. Flexibility becomes your strong point or the strong point of someone close to you or both. If you're too flexible, you get put through the ringer of life and never do anything that you want to do or love. If you're inflexible and brittle, then you may get what you want but you'll lack the capacity to enjoy it. This is a good time to assess that which you truly love and get rid of anything (or anyone) that isn't it. Seems merciless but it is cruel to be kind.
For the Outcome, you drew Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified. You'll have a needed realization but my Ogham warn it isn't going to be pleasant. Seeing things as they truly are is a gift though.

Date: 2022-08-15 03:05 am (UTC)Thank you! You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. This week the Spirit challenges you to examine your own state of health with a cold and unemotional eye. There may be a habit that you need to break. If so, my suggestion is to help yourself by coming up with a replacement before you try to break the habit. For instance, if you are trying to quit eating past 8pm, drink some anise or chamomile tea and read a good book so you're not thinking about food too much.
For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. You and/or someone close to you takes the appropriate measures to defend home and hearth. True protection is balance. Overprotection is a funny thing: it actually strips you of protection, like people who wear masks and give themselves nasty fungal and bacterial infections that never would have happened otherwise. Luis is also the opportunity to communicate with your Holy Guardian Angel. What do you think he or she is trying to say to you this week?
For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. You are a harmonious part of your local world this week and the world of semi-strangers is friendly and productive. This makes it a good work week and a good week for shopping or otherwise doing business. It is also a good week for getting together with casual friends.
Winter is coming
Date: 2022-08-14 08:31 am (UTC)I've been getting a really bad feeling about this coming winter.
Could you give me an Ogham reading for my country (the UK) for this winter?
Thank you.
Mr. Crow
Re: Winter is coming
Date: 2022-08-16 02:05 am (UTC)I can certainly understand why!
My Ogham provide three cards.
For the most immediate, everyday circumstances in the UK, they provide Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. This is actually a good card -- it means that people will generally start banding together and taking care of one another. On the minus side, the government will become a Bad Nanny and only those who recognize it and join the true resistance will prosper. I take this to mean the government will double down on health passports and other Davos garbage.
For the Situation, the Ogham provide Nuin or Communication well-dignified. The government and other tyrants will not be able to get the foothold (chokehold) they desire because of information flowing freely within the UK and from well outside its borders. It's fairly obvious at this point that the reason so many economies are in the crapper is because government and large corporations refuse to get the hell out of the way as empires crumble and cheap oil dwindles. Information is power this winter. More will find their way to alternative media sources and turn off the BBC for good.
For the Outcome, Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified pops up. Fearn is a card of stagnation and not being able to get anywhere. It's also a card of false gurus and fatuous twats blowing a bunch of false promises from their mouth holes. It's not an apocalypse though, so my Ogham recommend a slow but sure approach of daring to start conversations with those you would have ignored in more prosperous and busy times. The one good thing about the US is most of us are not shy about starting conversations with store clerks, Post Office workers, meter readers, or waiters. When you are not afraid of what anyone thinks of you, this isn't a big deal at all. One of the reasons I think the US was able to escape so much of the Covidianism is that huge chunks of our population are not afraid of being seen as low class.

- Brendhelm
no subject
Date: 2022-08-16 02:12 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards for the upcoming lunar month.
For the You position, they provide Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. This card in this dignity is usually a straight up warning to keep your mouth shut when it is tempting to flap your jaw. It could also be pointing to strain on close relationships.
For the Situation, you drew Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. There is some bad crap going down all around you that you can do nothing about, so just try to steer clear of it as much as possible. Today I walked at a local garden/park where the vibe is much better than most places. When I started home from the place, I could feel the astral crud descending back around me. The state of the lower astral especially has never been worse. All of us need defensive measures, whether that is prayer, banishing rituals, amulets, or talismans.
For the Outcome, you drew Koad or Confluence well-dignified. You've put enough good in place to reap the rewards, so despite the general situation of astral s***storm you are going to do OK. Continue making the best out of what you are given and you will come out on top.
Question for your ogham
Date: 2022-08-14 03:29 pm (UTC)Previous readings you've generously provided have been very helpful and keen. I'm in a difficult position going through a very hostile divorce. My question is: How should I best prepare to prevail in the next round of legal fights, especially regarding what is best for my son?
Re: Question for your ogham
Date: 2022-08-16 02:19 am (UTC)Thanks for the feedback. I hope you are able to make headway and protect your son in the best way possible.
For the You position, my Ogham provide Ruis or Regret well-dignified. You've done enough wrong at this point to avoid making the same mistakes again. Your power is in using this regret to improve your strategy so you see the traps the other side is setting long before they are laid.
For the Situation, you drew Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified. Unfortunately it is time to give up all hope of certain people changing or being reasonable. There is zero chance of that happening, so you have no choice but to go nuclear on them.
For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. You have certain factors in your favor the other side lacks. Determine what those things are and build them up instead of trying to tear the other side down. As Dion Fortune says, to defeat hate, you have to hate the hatred enough to be utterly unlike it and to take it with overwhelming force while using it as a thrust block.

Date: 2022-08-14 03:45 pm (UTC)Thanks for last week's reading. Given that info I'm taking a hard look at good relocation spots for the future.
Q- Which of the following states does the Ogham see as being my best option to relocate to within 2-3 years?
A. Michigan
B. Indiana
C. Kentucky
D. Ohio
E. Tennessee
F. Texas
no subject
Date: 2022-08-16 02:25 am (UTC)My Ogham like several of those options.
For Michigan, they provide Ur or Intimacy well-dignified, which means close relationships will benefit or be created in Michigan.
For Indiana, they also like it quite a bit. They provide Duir or Gifts well-dignified. This is one of the best cards of the entire Ogham and shows you having a great relationship with the land as well as harmony in your home.
For Kentucky, they don't like it. They provide Ioho or Grace ill-dignified, meaning that you have to work too hard to make Kentucky viable.
For Ohio, they provide Luis or Protection well-dignified, which means you are sheltered and safe from what you find dangerous in Ohio.
For Tennessee, they don't like it. They provide Straif or Resilience ill-dignified, meaning that Tennessee would be bad for you financially and it would be hard to get by there.
For Texas, they like it. They provide Beith or Birth well-dignified, meaning that Texas would be an utterly new and fun experience.

Date: 2022-08-14 04:25 pm (UTC)For the first time in a while, I had one of those dreams that might be a Dream (capital "D") that seems tied to the mass death dream I had some time ago. Can you ask the Ogham, is the dream a warning for me specifically or a broader warning? And, related, what will be the result if I send that email?
Thank you!
no subject
Date: 2022-08-16 02:31 am (UTC)Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear you contacted Andrew. He's really good!
My Ogham say the dream is not a warning for you specifically. They provide Koad or Confluence ill-dignified, which means it may seem like it is meant for you but that's just a coincidence.
For your "Is it a broader warning?" My Ogham say Yes, it is. They provide Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. You are seeing what will happen but you must be careful interpreting the symbols. People often take dream omens literally by mistake. What do the symbols mean when you cross reference them with other dreams you've had?
For the result of the email, they provide Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. It isn't a good idea because your message will be misunderstood.

Date: 2022-08-16 02:47 am (UTC)I have done some general readings about the Vaxxed and Unvaxxed for Autumn 2022 but nothing in general for the US.
Here is a reading for the US this fall:
For the most immediate and everyday card, the US got Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. This is highly interesting, because if you up-scroll to Mr. Crow's question about a similar reading for the UK, there are a couple of synchronicities. One is that this card showed up in the same dignity and position. This is my Ogham saying "OK it's the same", which means we will see everyday people becoming more generous with what little they have and banding together against the onslaught of bad circumstances. We will also see the World Economic Forum stooges in attack/Big Brother mode, but this card points to their efforts being transparent and futile. People truly are unstoppable when they join forces.
For the Situation, the Ogham give Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. This is a great card to get in Situation because it means people are finally ready to put on their big boy and big girl pants instead of throwing tantrums or running away. I expect to see lots of parents taking over their school boards and regular citizens taking over their town and city councils this fall, throwing out the wokesters on their rear ends. This is the sort of thing that matters far more than governorships and presidencies, because it creates a groundswell of force that cannot be gotten around by cheating.
For the Outcome, the US got Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. There are still plenty of people who refuse to wake up -- many of my family members and friends among them! Tensions will be high as we roll towards one of the smallest and worst retail holiday seasons since the 1970s. Many will cling to the Narrative despite horrific costs, choosing only to face what they've done after they pass through the Gates. Humans are slow learners!

Date: 2022-08-14 06:41 pm (UTC)This week I would like to ask the Ogham what I should be on aware of as I finalize the shipping, gifting, and disposing of our possessions ahead of the big move?
Thank you,
-MF
no subject
Date: 2022-08-16 02:51 am (UTC)My Ogham say you should keep your expectations low. They provide Muin or Harvest ill-dignified, meaning things sold won't be worth what you paid for them, some things might not be worth shipping, and it will not be easy to throw away stuff because it never is. Good luck with it!
no subject
Date: 2022-08-14 07:19 pm (UTC)Thank you for all of your writing and insights. Thank you also for these readings!
We settled in the US, and as you said we are not living in the best place ever, but it will do.
Now I would like to know what the Ogham says about me getting a job. Can I return to my old industry? It seems that I have been away too long and there is some ageism going on.
If not the old industry, where can I earn some money and reengage in my life?
Thank you!
Rooby
no subject
Date: 2022-08-16 02:54 am (UTC)Thanks for the feedback and encouragement!
My Ogham think you should try returning to your old industry. They provide Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. You are so well suited to that industry that my Ogham think you can overcome obstacles such as ageism quite handily.
As far as making money in other pursuits, they say not to pursue that for the time being. They provide Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified, meaning that many side gigs are not worth the trouble because there is more of a learning curve and commitment than it would seem at first glance.
Two things
Date: 2022-08-14 08:21 pm (UTC)I have two relationships I need to ask about. The first relates to I. I has recently pulled back from me. This is a serious rift. My question here is it possible to heal this rift and if it is possible what is my best approach?
Second relates to L. My question is what is up with me and L?
Thanks so much Kimberly the answers you and your oracle give me really help.
Will O
Re: Two things
Date: 2022-08-16 02:57 am (UTC)My Ogham don't like I very much. They provide Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified, meaning that I does not want an intimate relationship and/or the intimate relationship will not end well.
For L, they provide Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. L is most likely not resilient and seeking a life raft. My Ogham do not think it's a good foundation for a relationship; it's too much like gold-digging.

Do the Ogham have any advice about how I can accomplish what my higher self needs me to do?
Thank you for your time.
no subject
Date: 2022-08-16 03:07 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards in reference to your question.
For the You card, or that which needs the most immediate work, they provide Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. The Ogham think you need to work on balancing your perseverance most of all. There are two potential ways perseverance can go wrong: one is that you don't have staying power and you give up too easily. If this is the case, you have or will have lots of broken relationships, a string of unsteady jobs, and a lack of permanence. The opposite imbalance is that you persevere too much when you shouldn't. If this is the case, you may be stuck in bad relationships that you really need to free yourself from, working a job you hate, or otherwise stuck in a rut. Perseverance is a balance. Don't give up when the going gets tough, but know when to say "when".
For the Situation, they provide Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. You need to seek out the smartest and best people who have ever graced this Earth, and their status of alive or dead does not matter, meaning you should seek knowledge from old books (and new ones, and everything in-between) and gather advice from wherever you can get it. "Stand on the shoulders of giants" is the motto of this card.
For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community. No man is an island and being friendly and down-to-earth with everyone you meet will help you to grow personally. If you have any fear of strangers or preoccupation with what others think of you, now is the time to shed those inhibitions.
My path
Date: 2022-08-14 11:07 pm (UTC)Just a general reading please and one question….. the new path I’m on to solve a major issue going on (no, not a guy), seems to finally be the right answer…. any insights?
General comment… started container gardening this year (a bit later then I should have), but it is bringing me such peace and joy. Fingers crossed that I’ll find my dream house by next season (ie, flat yard) so I can go wild with my gardening.
Re: My path
Date: 2022-08-16 03:11 am (UTC)My Ogham give you Ruis or Regret well-dignified to illuminate your current path, meaning they think that you would do well to meditate on the power of regret. There are some key differences between the way you are approaching things now versus the past: how did you grow from experience and regret this time? How does this change the way you view the past, if at all?
I hope you get your dream house and yard soon!
Principles or just virgin awkwardness?
Date: 2022-08-14 11:16 pm (UTC)Re: Principles or just virgin awkwardness?
Date: 2022-08-16 03:16 am (UTC)My Ogham think you should get it done with M. They provide Phagos or Teaching well-dignified, meaning you have to learn what you are doing so might as well get the process going with an enthusiastic partner. That said, you would do well to draw clear boundaries with M as having sex with someone creates an etheric bond with them. It's serious stuff. You don't owe M anything for liking your "plain Jane" body or for disposing your V card. Though the etheric bond can make two people very emotional and glamour you into trains of thought you wouldn't have otherwise had, it is possible to be "friends who f**k" without entering the land of emotional turmoil.

Thanks as always, and I hope you enjoy your time off.
no subject
Date: 2022-08-16 03:22 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. You are reaping what you have sown and it's good stuff. When you help others to achieve balance and radiate what you want to see in the world, you bring the energy back to yourself in an extremely roundabout way. See if you can figure out where you've done exactly that this week -- it can be quite a puzzle.
For the Situation, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. There may be the tendency for you or someone close to you to either reveal too much or to clam up and withdraw. If you are in a close relationship, that may be strained this week.
For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. Fitting into a niche is very comforting. As much as youthful ideals would have us raging against the machine, not all machines are bad. You find comfort in your niche and in the world of semi-strangers this week.
All blessings
Date: 2022-08-14 11:21 pm (UTC)Simple question tonight, what do I need to know now?
Gawain
Re: All blessings
Date: 2022-08-16 03:26 am (UTC)My Ogham provide Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. My Ogham recommend meditating upon and cultivating generosity. Generosity truly is the key to everything. By becoming truly generous, or what I call "generous to a fault", you will never lack for any of your needs. That said, my Ogham consider being a spendthrift imbalanced, because the spendthrift often spends unearned wealth and all wealth comes from somewhere.
Surgery
Date: 2022-08-14 11:24 pm (UTC)We are waiting to get my husband scheduled for installing a brain shunt to ease his hydrocephally. What do the Ogham say for getting on the surgeon’s schedule?
Yeah, stressful times at the homestead.
Annette
Re: Surgery
Date: 2022-08-16 03:27 am (UTC)That poor guy! If he gives permission, I will be happy to pray to the gods for his health and recovery.
My Ogham provide Saille or Flexibility/Sensitivity well-dignified to answer your question. They think the surgeon will be able to put him on the schedule. Good luck.

Date: 2022-08-16 03:34 am (UTC)The Ogham provide three cards this week.
For the You card, you drew Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. There is no bad side to Duir. When it's ill-dignified, it means the balances of privilege and gifts are tipped excessively in your direction or away from you with you doing the tipping. If it's the former one, enjoy it, and if it's the latter, it means your generosity (which isn't at all limited to money by the way) will return to you seven times over.
For the Situation, you drew Beith or Birth ill-dignified. This could be a depressing or tiresome week for you and those closest to you. It could also be a week of trying to go in too many directions at once, so be prepared to put some stuff on the back burner so you can focus on the most pressing matters.
For the Outcome, you drew Eadha or Limits well-dignified. Recognizing the power of limits brings fulfillment and happiness -- suddenly you are much happier in your own skin. Keep in mind this modern world is expertly designed to make us want what we haven't got. If you don't fall into that trap, you're one of the few who has been able to think their way out of it.
