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.

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 the week of September 18, 2022. 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.

I noticed Huath was in many of the readings this week, so I wondered if that spoke to some sort of collective trauma, especially with Peter Novak and others predicting wild events around Sept. 24. However, I think it turned out to be more personal for me.

According to your other site, A Druid Ogham, Huath can also refer to hard work. In the past, I put a lot of hard work toward the goal of becoming a novelist, but I walked away from all that in 2016 when I saw cancel culture beginning to affect that industry and realized I didn't want to spend my life lying awake at night worrying what would happen to me when somebody somewhere somehow inevitably got offended by something I wrote. I hope those people find happiness, but I know I am not equipped to provide it for them.

I'm now in a different line of work that uses my writing skills but takes the bulls-eye off my face. It's a much better fit for me than being a published novelist would ever have been, and I'm not stressed out by it, and I want to keep doing it for the rest of my life. I'm happy enough with my current line of work that I hadn't thought about my unpublished novel in a long time.

However, a member of my extended family never let go of the idea of Angry Oregonian As A Published Novelist (or, perhaps more importantly, the idea of herself as The Knower Of A Published Novelist). Out of the blue, she got on me about that this past week, and it really upset me. I didn't make my decision to leave fiction writing lightly -- I talked about it with a therapist for several months, and my relative knows this. I did tell her at length this week how my present line of work is a better fit for me, but I don't know if my explanation will take, as she can be pretty bullheaded about things.

Anyway, I hope this feedback helps! Thanks again for the reading.
