I am happy to read your Ogham free of charge -- that's how I hone my divination skills. 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 off the last Sunday in December 2022 and the first Sunday of 2023 this year.
For a more in depth look into how I read and interpret the Ogham's symbols, please visit my website druidogham.wordpress.com.

Date: 2022-10-10 12:08 am (UTC)The week should be overall decent for you.
For the You position, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. You feel a sense of camaraderie with acquaintances, distant relatives, townsfolk, and casual friends as they either actively help you or you them or both.
For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. You go the extra mile and/or someone goes the extra mile on your behalf. It is not necessarily appreciated, however, so it is a good idea to contemplate whether it is worth doing ahead of time. If it's someone else lavishing you with favors or perceived favors, the best approach is to handle it gracefully and keep criticism to yourself until you've really thought it out.
For the Outcome, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. Your sense of proportion is well in check and your self-honesty saves you from much potential trouble and heartache.

Date: 2022-10-09 05:29 am (UTC)b) One of my coworkers seems to have taken to subtly doing something I find rather odd; am I right about it, or am I misreading things?
c) Two weeks ago, I asked about a possibility for my parents to move to another city, and your Ogham suggested it might turn out to be a mirage; the job offer which prompted them to consider it has vanished, so I think it safe to say you nailed it.
no subject
Date: 2022-10-10 12:13 am (UTC)For b), they think you are misreading things. They provide Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. They are reminding you to be more charitable and reframe this situation by giving the co-worker the benefit of the doubt.
c) Thanks for the feedback!

Re: Week 41
Date: 2022-10-10 12:40 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified. You stand a good chance of giving or receiving bad advice this week, so be on the lookout for it and you could avoid it altogether. This card can also indicate feeling stuck and in need of a change, or at least a temporary diversion.
For the Situation, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. As this is in Situation, it could be pointing out some minor or major rudeness done to you by someone else. Hopefully it is minor and will not call for you to be extremely patient. Quert in this dignity can also be talking about depression or pain. Gratitude is always your best way out -- by focusing on it, you can build on what is good rather than wallowing in what is bad.
For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. Your hard work and realistic expectations pay out this week. Take a little time to enjoy the fruits of what you've done. As this is in Karma, it is especially meaningful. The Ogham are patting you on the back. Kudos!
For the Outcome

Date: 2022-10-10 12:49 am (UTC)This week may be a bit of a doozy. All three cards were ill-dignified. At least you know what to watch out for...
For the You position, you drew Fearn or Bridge. It will be easy to feel trapped or stuck this week. Accepting culpability and more importantly, not blaming yourself for what you have nothing to do with, can go a long way in figuring out how to free yourself.
For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection. This card when ill-dig can mean actual physical danger, so be wary. More often than not, it means feeling like you are in a situation that rubs you the wrong way, whether it's because of awkwardness, mistake, or being coerced is not something I know. Calling upon your higher self is the best strategy here; you can actually pray to your higher self and it is what I would suggest.
For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace. There's no rest for the wicked this week or the good. This week has its pressures. Figuring out what baggage you can let go of and where you can simplify will be essential. Additionally, look at things that are in your way or unresolved and determine if you can let them spin out and do their own thing while you remove them from your life or just end them altogether.

2. I wonder if your Ogham can compare another two options - V and M.

Date: 2022-10-10 12:59 am (UTC)Thanks for the feedback!
You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Duir or Gifts well-dignified. You will be able to focus on your own unique talents, either developing them, using them, or both. Spreading the wealth will sublimate it and bring it back to you sevenfold.
For the Situation, you drew Fearn or Guidance ill-dignified. There may be some bad advice afoot. There could also be someone trying to influence you who has issues with arrogance and solipsism or is the opposite: utterly impressionable and like tofu, absorbent of every nearby flavor. What's good for tofu is bad for a human being. If it's you who is too impressionable or too arrogant, make an ego check and bring it back into a state of happy medium.
For the Outcome, you drew Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. If it's recognition you want, it will either not come this week or it will happen in a negative way, so best to lay low. Additionally, Nuin can be talking about tech and transportation going badly. Thirdly, Nuin ill-dig can be talking about a thing I call "autistic literalism", or the expectation that everything in the world, including people, need to follow an arbitrary set or sets of rules. That's not how this world works.
For Option V, they provide Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified, which means that V is just right, neither too much nor too little. For Option M, they provide Ur or Intimacy, meaning it speaks to the heart. They're both good, but I would go with M if you can only choose one.
Found a House
Date: 2022-10-09 11:46 am (UTC)We found a house and with any luck we will be closing on it this week. It is not in perfect condition, but at our price point it is the very best we've seen. We're hoping to get seller concessions to pay for the most pressing repair issues. Then DIY the various updating and customization we want before the lease on the apartment expires.
This week I would like to ask the Ogham what I need to focus on as we turn this house into a home?
Thank you,
-MF
Re: Found a House
Date: 2022-10-10 10:40 pm (UTC)For this week, the Ogham have three cards in reference to your new home.
For the most immediate and pressing position, the "You" of the house, the Ogham provide Luis or Protection well-dignified. Safety will be your number one concern, whether that means proofing from unwanted intruders (we have found that our security cameras have deterred many bad actors who targeted other homes in the area) or childproofing, or just generally looking for obvious dangers such as pointy nails sticking out or broken glass.
For the Situation, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. It will be all too easy to either work yourselves to exhaustion, spend too much money, or both, so remember to conserve both your energy and your money. There's a perfectionism bug that can be quite contagious when you've bought a place. You may have to make compromises and accept the house for the way it is, perhaps permanently.
For the Outcome, you drew Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. The neighbors may be a bit skittish, so the Ogham suggest that you keep a relaxed and open attitude towards them. Hopefully you can find that one person in the neighborhood who knows everyone (often the person who has been there the longest) and become friendly with him or her. Knowing that one person often will make you "cool" for everyone else in the neighborhood.
Post surgery report
Date: 2022-10-09 03:39 pm (UTC)I set up the SoP in the pre surgery room and in the hospital room after surgery. We both wore red bag/salt/bent nail amulets, me the whole time, him the whole time minus when he was in surgery. I placed bedside geometries above his head in the hospital room and above mine as well.
We actually had a lot of fun laughing and talking to the nurses and the doctors. My husband and I are both born in years of the monkey and we laugh and joke a lot together. We also throw turds at each other when we spat, but they are funny turds!
Anyway, all went smoothly except he did stop breathing once during surgery in reaction to the opioid anesthesia. They fixed that with Narcan. I’m not a huge fan of mainstream medicine but I do have a saying: “Don’t take pharmaceuticals or get surgery unless it’s stupid not to. “ This was such a case.
So thanks for the advice and the prayer. Anything untoward is so far is averted. I keep up my SoP practice daily and thus will continue our energy cleansing. I must say, this daily practice has made for a very serene homestead as well as a more balanced me.
So let’s just go for an Ogham reading about what I need to focus on to keep my off grid chiropractic business thriving.
Annette
Re: Post surgery report
Date: 2022-10-10 10:52 pm (UTC)Glad to hear he came out OK! I think it's great that you brought the SoP and other protective measures to the hospital. In a subtle way, it's a shot across the bough of the demons who run amok and unchecked in those places, letting them know that they'll be in trouble when the days of common spiritual literacy among humans return.
For the You position, or the most immediate concerns of the business, they provide Beith or Intention well-dignified. My Ogham think you've hit the ground running and that overall you are going to succeed. The idea behind your practice is very sound and is needed in your area.
For the Situation position, they provide Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. There can be too much of a good thing: Saille often talks about either physical or psychic clutter, or both. It may be time to let go of some stuff, whether that means the office should be more minimal and streamlined or that you should let go of some of your ambitions for your business, I am not sure. Too little decor and a space becomes cold and unwelcoming. Too much and it looks like Great-grandma's attic.
For the Outcome, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. You may encounter a client, vendor, or in the worst case scenario, an authority, who gets rude and out of line. If it's the former two, keep in mind that 10% of the people you deal with cause 90% of the problems. Don't feel bad about breaking up with them and sending them elsewhere if that's the case. The best case scenario is that you end up with so many clients, Quert indicates being too busy to help everyone properly and having to either hire help or turn down new business.

Date: 2022-10-11 01:26 am (UTC)New Person
Date: 2022-10-09 08:13 pm (UTC)I recently met a girl through another friend of mine a few months ago. We instantly got along really well. Even though I just moved cities/countries (within Europe, not too far from each other) and both of us have been travelling frequently, we keep in sporadic contact - more than any other friend somehow. Initially I didn't expect to see her again after I met her but through a bureaucratic circumstance my departure was delayed and led to me spending some time with her, which was very enjoyable for the both of us.
My questions are: how does she feel towards me? And should I continue to keep in contact with her?
Thanks!

Re: New Person
Date: 2022-10-11 01:28 am (UTC)My Ogham say she has great affection for you. They provide Gort or Perseverance well-dignified, which means this could be a very long relationship for you both, though one or both of you may have to wait. I believe the Ogham are implying it's a good idea to stay in touch by this card.

Date: 2022-10-11 01:42 am (UTC)This week appears to be coming up roses for you: all three cards were balanced/well-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence. When well-dignified, this is a state of genuine contentment that is not born of that toxic need to feel superior to other people, which sadly is an affliction many people carry around with them. True transcendence is born of the attitude "I don't do that anymore" towards your unsavory past as well as a healthy sense of gratitude in the present.
For the Situation, you drew Ioho or Grace. You have the opportunity to let go of lots of old baggage this week, whether that is hangups about your life circumstances or what you were born with or relationships or something else. Notice the difference between those who age gracefully and those who fight it with a surgeon's scalpel and Grace is clearly demonstrated as a concept. Yet the opposite of the tight-faced plastic surgery addict is a slovenly vulgarian who cannot be bothered to bathe, let alone comb her hair or brush her teeth. Where else can you see examples of the results of overcoming fear and embracing change rather than either fighting it with guns and knives (too little Grace) or letting life steamroll you and dictate your every move (too much Grace)?
For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense. The best Defense is knowing when to pick your battles, and you've got a good grip on that this week. In every movie about Shaolin monks, there is a perennial idea of being extremely well-prepared for battle while hoping never to have to use one's immense kung fu skills. You're prepared this week. That said, the presence of this card can indicate danger, so be on your guard.

Date: 2022-10-09 10:34 pm (UTC)What is it that I need to know this week?
There is task that needs to be done during this waning moon. Should I schedule it for this week or the next?
Were those people I met at the gate today legitimate, or were they imposters?
Thank you for these readings.
no subject
Date: 2022-10-11 01:50 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Koad or Grove ill-dignified. This week has a propensity to go south in a hurry, but you can avoid a good share of drama by being well-prepared and anticipating all the ways you might react. Also keep in mind that though you are culpable for your part, you are not culpable for everything.
For the Situation, you drew Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. There are tests this week, perhaps literal ones, or perhaps ones of character that are reliably more common. The tough thing about this plane is we are all being proofed almost all the time and this can make life feel very harsh. Neither attempt to force outcomes nor run away from conflicts; there is almost always a diplomatic and sane middle ground.
For the Outcome, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. The mark of a mature person is when you can disagree with someone or something wholeheartedly, yet still be able to see where the person is right or the silver lining of the cloud. Again, diplomacy and sanity are themes to adhere to this week.
For the waning moon task, my Ogham suggest you do it this week. They give you Ruis or Regret well-dignified.
For the people at the gate, my Ogham think they were impostors. The Ogham provide Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified in regard to their being legit.
no subject
Date: 2022-10-09 10:40 pm (UTC)Regarding your last two readings (your reading for last week and for the end of the month of September), they were largely spot-on. Onn ill-dignified last week did warn me of workplace drama, but looking back, it probably also warned me of being a little too eccentric in greeting myself to some coworkers. I can be an exuberant personality, and I probably showed a bit too much of that, haha. Nothing that will lose me friends or connections, though. As for the month of September, I did indeed get a lot of good advice in the last half of that month. Coll well-dignified seemed to more indicate a gaining of wisdom from the advice and experiences, rather than necessarily knowing when to be silent or not.
1. What do I need to know to make the best of this week?
2. Does your Ogham think taking a weekend to undergo the trip I'm thinking of, by whatever means of travel, is worth the effort?
Thanks!

Date: 2022-10-11 01:58 am (UTC)Thanks ever so much for the feedback!
My Ogham provide three cards this week.
For the You position, they provide Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. There will be challenges this week, but you are highly likely to meet them with appropriate force. If others are watching (aside from the usual non-corporeal entities) they will be impressed.
For the Situation, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. This could mean a couple of things: it could mean a desire to run your mouth when you should not. Because it is in Situation, it could mean someone who is acting like their ignorance is better than your knowledge -- never meet them at their level so you can prove them right! When I'm faced with that person, I do my best to move on and get them onto the next topic. Coll ill-dig can also be talking about when you feel your own knowledge is inadequate.
For the Outcome, you drew Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. The astral weather in your area is crap this week and that means that anything that depends on luck is something better left to another week. Protective rituals, bedside geometrics, hoodoo baths, amulets, and prayer to the gods can help ameliorate the astral weather a great deal.

Date: 2022-10-11 02:06 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. You have friendly and fruitful interactions with the world of strangers, and this can include people online, people you talk to on the phone, patrons of your creative work if you're into that, and so on. You can use technology to your advantage and travel is relatively easy this week.
For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. You (or someone close to you, as this is Situation) stand a good chance of trying to push your physical body too hard this week, so show restraint and remember that moderation is preferable to injury. Oppositely, this could mean feeling weak and tired this week and not up to much. Either way, take care of yourself.
For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. You are flexible in the right ways and the preparations (mostly mental) that you've made in the past see you through the current rough patch.

Date: 2022-10-11 02:13 am (UTC)The Ogham warn of a doozy of a week: all three cards were ill-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Huath or Obstacles. You'll be tempted to force outcomes this week, to come on too strong, or to just generally show your frustration. Stay cool. Oppositely, if your personality is not forceful, you'll want to instantly run away or capitulate when confronted this week. If so, stand your ground and buy time so you can make an informed decision.
For the Situation, you drew Koad or Confluence. The perfect s**tstorm: it's nothing you caused expressly but you did have some role in it, so accept responsibility somewhat but don't go overboard in self-blame. If you have a really crap day, part of it is you and that's the only part you can help.
For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy. You or someone in your circle wants to spill the beans and give away the secrets; if it's you, just don't. Or maybe somebody toxic has decided to pray for you... ewwww. That would be a breach of intimacy.

Date: 2022-10-11 02:21 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ruis or Regret ill-dignified. This points to you or someone in the fam beating themselves up pointlessly or the opposite, acting as if they could not possibly err. The proper attitude is not to condemn oneself as a worthless sinner or inflate oneself as immaculately sin-free, but to say "I don't do that anymore" in regards to one's foibles and misdeeds and to move on with firm resolve.
For the Situation, you drew Oír or Epiphany well-dignified. Someone in the family or you have a much needed realization. Perhaps it is a way of getting around stupid people doing stupid things or perhaps it is just one of those random illuminations. Either way, the net benefit is positive.
For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community ill-dignified. This card points to expecting too much from the world of semi-strangers, including professionals, store help, and distant relations. This puts you and the family into an awkward, "outsider looking in" role and is not helpful. There must always be a middle ground between the family being its own island and each member doing their worldly thing.
For Gerry (reading request last Sunday)
Date: 2022-10-10 10:29 pm (UTC)I just remembered this and am getting to it now.

Hi Kimberly,
Last year I lost my job of 33 years due to refusing to participate in my former employers mandatory vaccine program. Would the Ogham please comment on the future possibilities of my ongoing efforts for compensation? My former labour union does not seem overly inclined to engage in meaningful pursuit of compensation. I have also joined a national effort. Any insight into future income opportunities would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Gerry
My Ogham have two answers for you.
They think you'll be compensated. They provide Oír or Epiphany well-dignified. Oír is an especially good card to draw in relation to this question as it often signifies an undeniable truth that can be used to go around (or through) idiots much like lightning strike clears an old, dead tree from the forest canopy.
For the second question, what kind of career opportunities should you pursue, my Ogham provide Beith or Beginnings well-dignified. You will do well to look for startups, new businesses, and seemingly risky ventures. Your new career will be very different from your old one and in a good way. Now is the time to attempt to be your own boss by creating your own career, if that's something you want to do.
