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 21, 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 in two weeks!

Date: 2022-08-22 01:46 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ngetal or Health ill-dignified. It will be very tempting to overdo or over-indulge -- try to keep things moderate. You don't need to completely avoid life's pleasures (that is as unhealthy as the opposite approach) but you should be prepared to enforce a stopping point. Ngetal in this dignity can also mean straight up feeling lousy.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. Though people and situations may turn annoying, you (and those close to you) take the high road and rise above instead of grubbing yourself up by association or imitation.
For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. A challenge presents itself and you don't choose the easy road, and that's good, because the easy/sleazy route would result in failure.

Date: 2022-08-22 01:58 am (UTC)For Stop 1, they give you Coll or Wisdom well-dignified, which means stopping at #1 benefits you with intelligence and understanding.
For Stop 2, they provide Ruis or Regret well-dignified, which means you will be glad you stopped at 2 because they will either help you resolve a past regret or avoid a future regret.
For Stop 3, they provide Straif or Resilience well-dignified, which indicates 3 is either the most mentally prepared for the dramas of life and/or that it is the strongest relationship out of the four.
For Stop 4, they provide Duir or Gifts ill-dignified, which means you'll be called upon to be very giving and/or that 4 will be very giving and spoil you a bit. On the minus side, it could indicate privileged people who refuse to appreciate their circumstances, but overall Duir is seldom indicative of sorrow or irritation.

Date: 2022-08-21 05:31 am (UTC)1. I did a geomantic divination recently on the question of whether dropping a practice I’ve taken up would achieve a wanted result. I won’t say what the result was (or at least how I interpreted it) as I’d like to ask your Ogham separately for additional confirmation on if I should drop that practice (or not) – they should know which practice I’m referring to.
2. One of my siblings and I will be taking a weekend to camp next month. Reservations for campgrounds that weekend look like they’ll be fully booked. Will we be able to successfully find and claim a dispersed camping location in the national forest?

Date: 2022-08-22 02:04 am (UTC)Unfortunately, my Ogham think you'd be wise to drop the event you were going to host. They provide Coll or Wisdom in reference to just letting it go.
For the practice you are thinking of dropping, they think you should. They provide Huath or Obstacles well-dignified, meaning you have other fish you need to fry and this one is going to have to wait.
For the question about weekend camp, my Ogham think you'll be successful in finding a dispersed camping location. They provide Ur or Intimacy well-dignified, which means that being kind and friendly will go a long way.

Date: 2022-08-22 02:12 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Koad or Grove ill-dignified. This week is a bit chaotic and mismatched -- it may be difficult to connect with others, awkward, and clumsy. Though you can control some of it, you cannot do it all, so exercise forgiveness to yourself when you fall short.
For the Situation, you drew Oír or Epiphany well-dignified. A much needed realization is in the cards for you or someone close to you. Seeing the truth is often painful but necessary. Clarity will help you and/or them to move forward in life.
For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. There is a tendency to either be too lax in your defenses -- not locking the doors, avoiding the creeps, or missing the cues of bad people that tell you they need to be avoided. The opposite imbalance is taking unnecessary precautions and getting upset a la Chicken Little. The sky won't be falling anytime soon.

Re: Weeks 34 and 35
Date: 2022-08-22 02:17 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards for the next fortnight.
For the You position, they provide Duir or Gifts well-dignified. Abundance is always a matter of perception, as counterintuitive as that may seem. When you perceive abundance everywhere and turn it into generosity, it blesses you and everyone lucky enough to be around you. You will have a tendency to be generous and that generosity will return to you in many ways.
For the Situation you drew Beith or Intention ill-dignified. Beith can be talking about a lack of energy or a new project that either needs to be delayed or shelved entirely. There's only so much energy in one person and only so much time in one day.
For the Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. Much of the good things in your life were things you earned the hard way. Don't be afraid to pat yourself on the back every now and then. You have become a well of patience and a human oasis of sorts.
Job Search
Date: 2022-08-21 10:35 am (UTC)The reading last week helped me to clarify which direction I should go with search for a job. I prayed for a job that was aligned with my values (this industry has tons of grift and people with bloated importance, vaxx. mandates that I want to avoid). I made one phone call to an old friend/boss and he offered me a job.
I would like to know what the Ogham say about whether or not I will succeed at this opportunity? Will I get bored? Will my family suffer from losing my undivided attention? Is there something I am missing i.e. if it seems too good to be true it usually is.
Thank you!

Re: Job Search
Date: 2022-08-22 03:03 am (UTC)My Ogham say that yes, all of your worries are valid. Nevertheless, knowing the pitfalls ahead of time will go a long way in helping you to avoid imbalances.
As for "how it will go", the Ogham give you Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified, which means you need to understand the devil is in the details. Going one level deeper and thinking deeply to anticipate what people will do before they do it will be crucial as you go back in to the work force. Always prioritize treating people like you would like to be treated (very few do this in the office scene, it can be very robotic and evil!) staying real, grounded, and maintaining your sense of humor, which may be the most important sense of all.
For the boredom thing, unfortunately, yes, you will get bored. Work is the ultimate human predicament. We are bored when we do it, but we are driven crazy when we don't. They give you Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. Keeping your aura clean (banishing, hoodoo baths, prayer) will be a must. Most offices are septic tanks: this is due to the astral condition of most people these days, which is somewhere between festering sewer and active dumpster fire at any given time.
As to your family missing you, of course they will. The Ogham provide Phagos or Teaching, meaning that they have to learn how to function and manage without your constant presence and this is a good opportunity for them to gain those skills.
For the general advice, my Ogham give you Ruis or Regret well-dignified. Use the power of regret by perhaps being the only person at your office to say "I did that, I'm sorry, and now I don't do that anymore" when you inevitably err. Most people have no idea how to deal with their own regrets and role models who demonstrate a balanced attitude toward regret are worth their weight in gold.
Choices
Date: 2022-08-21 12:32 pm (UTC)Re: Choices
Date: 2022-08-22 03:09 am (UTC)Thank you for phrasing your query anonymously! My Ogham know what you're talking about even if I do not.
My Ogham think A is the clear winner.
For A they provide Ur or Intimacy well-dignified, which indicates harmony with close relationships, the ability to keep a secret, and happiness within one's self/comfort in one's own skin.
For B they provide Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. This means a bad psychology of previous investment, thin or bad results, or a taxing of the resources at hand that isn't worth what you paid for it.
For C they provide Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. This means too much of a good thing, a smothering influence, or at best, excessive giving that only carries benefit if the attitude driving it is generosity from the heart.
Hope this helps.
Moving
Date: 2022-08-21 01:15 pm (UTC)Both the yearly and the summer reading are proving to be quite prescient. During August I've been shedding physical and mental clutter on a scale and at a rate that is exhausting. The year itself has also seen massive change.
As we head into the traveling part of the move I would like to ask the Ogham what the next two weeks has in store for us?
Thanks as always,
-MF
Re: Moving
Date: 2022-08-22 03:15 am (UTC)Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad the Ogham could help you anticipate some of this stuff.
For the You position, the Ogham provide Onn or Community well-dignified. Moving SUCKS but at least you will find that the people around you are helpful, warm, and friendly. If you can keep an open and friendly attitude despite setbacks, you will find that warmth reflected back at you to the extreme.
For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Health well-dignified. Overall, the move is the best possible choice and it seems that you know that, and the Ogham seem to think your family is also on board. Leaving behind all that baggage was necessary pain that has made you much stronger.
For the Outcome, you drew Koad or Grove. There will be some "comedy of errors" situations during the move. You'll need to invoke your patience, but not so much that you get steamrolled or bulldozed. Keep a sense of humor at all times, you are going to need it!

no subject
Date: 2022-08-22 03:30 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You card, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. You are able to act on good advice and perhaps give it yourself this week. Fearn is the ability to listen to the point of view of someone you disagree with. If life is a flaming field of dumpster fires, Fearn is the ability to grab what is useful while avoiding getting burned.
For the Situation, you drew Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. The general state of the astral plane in your neighborhood is septic, like pea soup diarrhea bad. There's nothing you can do about that outside of banishing rituals, hoodoo preparations (baths and amulets), and prayer. Also, it's not your fault. Keep an eye out for you or those close to you getting snippy for no reason. That's a common symptom of wading through an astral sewer without knowing it.
For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. It's easy to be under-protected these days, especially with the aforementioned astral conditions being what they are. Listen to your gut and don't get hoodwinked into anything you feel iffy about this week.
For the month, you drew Onn or Community in the You position ill-dignified. It's an uneasy fit between you and semi-strangers such as co-workers, extended family, and people paid to wait on you this month. Keep up a good poker face and don't tell anyone what they don't absolutely need to know. If you're not feeling well, cut yourself some slack and take the me time you need.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. Despite attempts to drag you down, you take the high road and refuse to succumb to the "lowest common denominator" egregor. Ailm in this dignity means an intact sense of humor will carry you through.
For the Outcome, you drew Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified. Scrutinize your life for what you may be in denial about. If you are, a big hint will rear its ugly head this month. Oír can also mean that you indeed have a necessary realization, but it isn't all perfume and roses.

Thanks,

Date: 2022-08-22 03:41 am (UTC)As they say in the Grey Poupon commercial... "But of course!"
For the You position, you drew Quert or Delight well-dignified. You cultivate gratitude this fortnight and take time to appreciate small pleasures instead of letting your life and the people in it whiz by.
For the Situation, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. This fortnight you or someone close to you has trouble letting go of what is not meant to be. We live in an era of instant gratification and commercial glamours with lots of pressure to have all the fun, to possess all the beauty, and to make all the money. Fighting those off influences can be extremely difficult to impossible at times; be prepared for battle.
For the Outcome, you drew Eadha or Limits well-dignified. Limits equal power. Learning to accept limits instead of always fighting to erase them has tangible benefits. This fortnight features some key realizations about the nature of limits and why they are a very good thing.

Date: 2022-08-22 04:07 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. This means that this week will present at least one or more challenges that you will handle with style and grace. Huath in my Prairie Ogham are symbolized by the (American) Sycamore tree. According to some Native American legends, those who cut down sycamore trees were cursed. Huath is the foresight to leave well enough alone and to only take on a fight when it is absolutely required.
For the Situation, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. It's easy for you or someone close to you to get snippy or to overreact. Keep knee jerk reactions and defensiveness in check. Alternately, watch out for imbalances of pride or paranoia. Pride is an easy trap to fall into: puff up the ego enough and feel invincible. Paranoia is the opposite, when no defensive measure you'll take can be good enough for the scary perceived threats out there.
For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. You feel like a working part of your community this week. Good relationships and harmony are present in the world of semi-strangers such as co-workers, extended family, and service people.

Date: 2022-08-22 04:14 am (UTC)This week is a typical mix of good and bad.
For the You position, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. No matter what this week throws at you, you are flexible and you've got a good head on your shoulders about it. Be prepared to roll with the punches and to accommodate where necessary and you'll come out on top.
For the Situation, you drew Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. As I mentioned to a querent in a previous reading, the general state of the astral is horrific right now and most people are wading through it blind. If you or anyone close to you ends up irritable for no good reason, hyper-defensive, or just plain grumpy, now you know why. The astral weather has been horrible around my neighborhood too -- you're far from alone.
For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. Keep an eye out for traps that involve the psychology of previous investment. These aren't necessarily traps you've personally fallen into. The Spirit could be presenting an object lesson for you to observe and compare to your own life. Watch out as well for thin or bad harvests. I often draw this card when my bank account is running on empty.

Date: 2022-08-21 10:53 pm (UTC)What was up with my unusual worrying last week? Was I being warned or was it just anxiety? I sort of feel like something's been trying to stop me from asking the Ogham about this, is that true?
Did I make the right decision after all the worrying? If I do what I planned, will they do what I ask and is it the right thing to ask for anyway--or should I make a different plan?
Thanks again for doing this!

Date: 2022-08-22 04:20 am (UTC)My Ogham have three cards for you this week.
As to your worrying last week, they say Yes, it was a warning. They provide Muin or Harvest well-dignified, which warns: "You reap what you sow". Muin often warns of the psychology of previous investment, trusting in the wrong people, and going through the same motions while expecting a different result.
The Ogham think that something has been trying to stop you from consulting them. They provide Luis or Protection well-dignified, meaning that you're having trouble accessing and listening to your Higher Self a.k.a. your Holy Guardian Angel on this matter.
My Ogham think you made the right decision. They provide Duir or Gifts well-dignified, which means that it is as much of a win-win decision for all parties as it could possibly be. My Ogham think they will do as you ask. They provide Quert or Delight well-dignified, which implies harmony and agreement.

For this week, you drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Onn or Community ill-dignified. You feel like a square peg in a round hole this week. The world of semi-strangers is more abrasive than usual, so be prepared for friction from people you only semi-know or strangers from your community.
For the Situation, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. There is a tendency for you or someone close to you to be unappreciative or discourteous. This is a symptom of a very common problem: rushing through life without being grateful for small things. The obvious answer is to cultivate and exemplify gratitude even if others don't.
For the Outcome, you drew Beith or Intention well-dignified. You have a unified direction and a strong drive this week to get stuff done. It's a good week to focus on the persons, places, and things that mean the most to you and to leave the rest in the dust.

Thanks again Kimberly.
