kimberlysteeleWhoops! I missed my own deadline so I will be taking Ogham reading requests from whenever this posts on Sunday until 8pm Monday night. Please allow 24-48 hours to receive your reading.
I am happy to read your Ogham free of charge -- that's how I hone my divination skills. I am happy to receive donations as well, but regardless of your donation status, I appreciate prayers for my success to the deity of your choice. I will take reading requests until 8pm Central Time (Chicago Illinois USA) on Monday night.
I will be taking off the last Sunday in December 2022 and the first Sunday of 2023 this year.

Date: 2022-10-17 12:52 am (UTC)Last week's reading seems accurate--a family member is having health issues and another family member really wants the doctors to figure this out ASAP and I'm not sure they will. Thanks again for the reading!
This week I have 2 decisions that I'd like to ask your Ogham about if that's OK.
The urgent one this week: A or B?
The longer-term one: A, B or C?
Thanks!

Date: 2022-10-18 12:15 am (UTC)For your first decision, my Ogham prefer B. I used a coin toss style reading with heads (well-dig) for A and tails (ill-dig) for B. My Ogham provide Tinne or Defense, meaning the defensive strategy is better with B.
For the longer term one, A is the clear winner. A gets Oír or Epiphany well-dignified whereas B gets Eadha or Limits ill-dignified and C gets Nuin or Communication ill-dignified.
Thank you for keeping the options free of identifying information. The Ogham already know what I do not.

Date: 2022-10-18 12:22 am (UTC)LOL true! My autism is what keeps these readings so regularly scheduled.
You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. It is going to feel like a slog this week and you may find your patience wearing thin. Think about it carefully: is giving up for the best because you are potentially in a psychology of previous (over)investment situation or should you be sticking it out for the long haul? The past can inform the future here, not just your past, but the pasts of other people.
For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. A win-win situation occurs where you can see why words, deeds, goods, services, and will in general must flow and be in constant exchange in order to be balanced.
For the Outcome, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. It is going to be tempting to sink into old habits, to go down to the level of those attempting to troll you, and to engage in self-defeating thoughts. Times for some pulling up of yourself by your bootstraps like Manly P. Hall liked to lecture about.
Juggling a lot
Date: 2022-10-17 01:03 am (UTC)General reading please and juggling a lot of issues…. how will I fair with it all?
Re: Juggling a lot
Date: 2022-10-18 12:53 am (UTC)For the You position, they provide Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. Factors you cannot control are going to be looking up. This isn't blanket good fortune and it does not mean all your problems will be solved, however, it does mean that you will be far more likely to make the best of what you've got and set yourself on a positive trajectory that can last a very, very long time.
For the Situation, you drew Eadha or Limits well-dignified. Understanding how limits can be a good thing is one of the first keys to true happiness and fulfillment, and it is those who cannot accept limits who end up as smoking train wrecks. We are often told we can do it all, but only an insane person would actually think that is possible, let alone try to do it. When you limit the temperature of your coffee, it's good because it doesn't scald you or give you an ice cream headache. When you limit parts of your life, for instance minimizing your wardrobe, it focuses your attention on the pieces you like the best and actually wear. What limits can you set on your life that will be most likely to generate an improvement?
For the Outcome, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. Attitude truly is everything and as much as black-pilled nihilism appeals to people of this era, it is a road straight to hell. The mark of a mature human being is the ability to see the flicker of good in someone you hate, to recognize good advice even when it comes from an enemy, and to pick the best lessons out of the flaming dumpster fire of life without becoming bitter or jaded.
The number one lesson my Ogham want you to keep in mind is Ioho or Grace. They give it to you ill-dignified, meaning that you need to learn to let go. Druid occultists such as myself believe that when you die, you will spend an indeterminate amount of time reviewing all you did in this incarnation. So it follows if you spent this incarnation being a horrible person, you'll have a terrible time as you are held accountable for what you did. Druid occultists believe that you'll be able to hang out with all of those who were beloved to you in your life on a plane that is beyond material space-time, and that if you spent a good amount of your time developing your spirituality, you'll have a fairly clear grasp of what is going on. That's why death isn't at all sad. Though it is compared to sleep, being dead is actually a form of waking up. Instead it is the material world that is the state of true death and sleep, and that's why Meatworld sucks so bad. The more you can let go of in the material world, making "aging gracefully" into a lifestyle, the easier it will be to retain what (and who) is truly important at the end when all the lessons are presented and you meet your loved ones and their Holy Guardian Angels.

2. If I accept the invitation, will I be happy with that decision?
Thanks as always.

Date: 2022-10-18 01:01 am (UTC)This week gives you three cards.
For the You position, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. You will have a couple of potentials for imbalance this week. One is that you may end up coming on too strong, and that means that being too forceful or overwhelming is a bad idea. The other imbalanced extreme is that you shrink back into the wallpaper, don't push any envelopes, and let evil run the show. If a dramatic situation presents itself, keep calm and proceed to do whatever heroic act you are cornered into doing with bravery, grim resolution to go against the grain, and not a lot of fanfare. And enlist help wherever possible.
For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. The very presence of this card can indicate physical danger, and along with Huath, it's nearly a sure thing, so be careful this week. Overall, this shows an ability and propensity to follow your highest self or True North.
For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. This is a good week to think about what flexibility means to you. When have you had to bend, slalom, and shimmy around obstacles in order to succeed and how much were you pushed? How did you mentally handle it?

Date: 2022-10-17 01:25 am (UTC)Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2022-10-18 01:19 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. This could mean physical danger, so be on your guard. More likely is that it means feeling run down, stripped, or exhausted.
For the Situation, you drew Gort or Perseverance well-dignified. You and/or someone close to you benefits from the slow and steady approach and the lessons it offers. In a time of financial and emotional strain for everyone, Gort indicates a small bit of relief for you and yours this week.
For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. Everyone in this world has at least one thing they are really good at and this week offers you opportunity to flex your muscles. With luck, this card may mean you are to benefit from someone else's expertise.

Date: 2022-10-17 02:12 am (UTC)So my question this week....
Should I try to adopt the cat I've been thinking about and add her to my family, or will it be a mistake? I'm torn.... I felt drawn to the cat from a photo, but I'm not sure my current cats would do well with another addition.
Curious to hear what the Ogham think!

Date: 2022-10-18 01:41 am (UTC)I thought she seemed like I nice cat, but I'm not sure my existing cats are ready to deal with a new addition right now. My gut instinct was that adopting any cat right now would be a bad idea, but I just kind of liked this one.
Maybe I should just make another donation to the shelter and leave it at that.

Date: 2022-10-17 02:41 am (UTC)Hi Kimberly,
I have two questions for the Ogham: What would the outcome be if I renew my contract at work? How is my former friend A doing?
Thank you for your time.
no subject
Date: 2022-10-18 01:24 am (UTC)My Ogham forecast it being a decent outcome if you renew your contract. They provide Koad or Confluence well-dignified, meaning the right factors are in the right place for that to turn out well.
For your second question, the former friend is doing OK for now. They provide Tinne or Defense well-dignified.
Post surgery recovery

Re: Post surgery recovery
Date: 2022-10-18 01:31 am (UTC)For the second question, they provide Fearn or Bridge well-dignified, which means that he should seek the advice of healthy people who are willing to give it. The true health experts are the healthy, who live in good health, rather than the so-called experts who self-sabotage their own health and then prescribe a bunch of drugs to "preserve" yours. If you can find a healthy doctor who does not do stupid things where health is concerned, even better. As a healthy person, I recommend moderation in all things, and that means neither completely abstaining from vice nor wallowing in it. There are happy mediums to be achieved: eat the cookies, but keep it to 4 or 5 in a day, not the whole box in two sittings.
New House
Date: 2022-10-17 05:09 am (UTC)The work has just begun on our new home. We've been getting bids for work, making plans, and buying material. This place needs a bit more than just new paint colors, but I'm hopeful that we can manage.
I would like to ask the Ogham what I should focus on this week?
Thanks as always,
-MF
Re: New House
Date: 2022-10-18 02:03 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards this week.
For the You position, they provide Straif or Resilience well-dignified. At this point, you are demonstrating a "just right" amount of flexibility and compromise. Yes, you will have to make some sacrifices and put some things off, but it does not have to go to an extreme. Make a note of the give and take of this week, it will be informative.
For the Situation, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. You may be cornered or forced into doing something you don't feel ready for or don't want to do. This certainly happened to me many times where owning a home is concerned, but be on guard for it to happen elsewhere. At some point, realize that nobody can force you into anything and if you truly don't want it, make your stance very clear and be prepared not to budge. That said, be ready to apply a huge amount of force if it is absolutely called for.
For the Outcome, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. The Ogham are stating the obvious here and saying that there will be some nasty, dirty places in the home that will need a thorough cleaning. Be aware of the health risks this week though and take care of your health. Safety first!

Date: 2022-10-18 02:13 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week. This week may be a bit of a doozy... all three were ill-dignified.
For the You card, you drew Beith or Beginnings. As the card states, it will be difficult to get started and harder still to finish this week. Beware of trying to go in too many directions at once: it's OK to give up on something that isn't going well. Examining the intentions behind any particular thing you are trying to get done in discursive meditation is a very good idea.
For the Situation, you drew Tinne or Defense. You may face some danger this week, so be warned. Everyone in my area is sneezing, so anyone reading this should take some precautionary measures: Daily Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and B spectrum supplements, mild exercise for 30 minutes plus per day, and plenty of rest is recommended. (Any non-quack doctor would recommend the same, I think, but they're usually too busy pushing whatever Pfizer gave them a "free" lunch for) That said, being over-defensive and retreating into a shell is never a good idea, so don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Go out and enjoy life... it is short!
For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection. Yet another danger card, but it can also be a card of not listening to one's higher self enough. It is a good week to look at times when you successfully accessed your higher self, when you took the high ground, acted gracefully, or even like a hero. What did you specifically do when that happened, and how was it an improvement from other times when you weren't able to have that direct connection?

Date: 2022-10-18 02:20 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. This week has you finding your niche among semi-strangers, and it shows you why the flow of information, goods, services, and energy is so vital.
For the Situation, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. This card can indicate danger, so be on your guard. When you are faced with a threat, the key is to neither underreact nor overreact. You cannot be prepared for everything, so don't beat yourself up for what you cannot help. It's a good week to look at when you were successful at defending yourself. When you were not successful at defending yourself, what happened?
For the Outcome, you drew Koad or Confluence well-dignified. The stars align and make this a good week for matters of importance, pow wows, purchases, decisions. Some of this good fortune is what you have put in place, so a pat on the back is in order.

Date: 2022-10-17 02:22 pm (UTC)Last week did provide several tests, the outcome of which I'm still sorting out.
1) What is up for this week?
2) What is the outcome if I rent out the farm rather than selling it, either way the proceeds will mostly go to my brother.
3) Has my brother really thought out his plan on buying a house, or is it half baked?
Thank you for these readings that you generously provide.
no subject
Date: 2022-10-18 02:46 am (UTC)The Ogham give you three cards this week.
For the You or most direct position, they provide Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. There may be an urge to give away too much information, or worse, having to deal with someone who believes their ignorance is better than your knowledge. If you are prone to that form of arrogance, it's time for serious introspection. In my case, guilty as charged -- sometimes I am very determined to be ignorant and to learn my lessons the stupid way!
For the Situation, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. Your expectations don't match reality or you are persevering where you should think about throwing in the towel (psychology of previous investment). Being more down to earth will help, and being brutally honest about failed strategies from past and present is useful.
For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace well-dignified. Letting go is an art -- for instance, aging gracefully is a process of accepting the changes of maturity but not letting them steamroll you. For instance, I can accept lines, wrinkles, and sags as part of life but I can maintain an exercise routine instead of accepting debility out of laziness as many older people do. There's always a balance.
For Question 2), the Ogham think it will work out well with renting. They provide Onn or Community well-dignified, meaning that people will appreciate the farm staying in the hands of someone they know.
For Question 3) they say Yes, it's half-baked. That's not to say how it will turn out, it's merely an observation that he has not thought it out. They provide Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified to the question "Has he thought this out?" which means that he may not realize what he is getting into by buying a house. Most people get the hang of it eventually!

no subject
Date: 2022-10-18 02:50 am (UTC)They provide Ur or Intimacy well-dignified to the question "Should Nona be concerned?", which is a Yes. Don't tell the neighbors anything more than what they absolutely need to know. Keep the curtains closed and consider a "green wall" privacy hedge! One of my neighbors was a pervert/flasher, so hopefully the Ogham aren't indicating something like that! Thankfully he moved.

no subject
Date: 2022-10-18 02:55 am (UTC)For the You position, they provide Koad or Confluence. You are not only making the best out of what you've got, you are keeping your expectations down to earth and putting yourself in the right places at the right times. It's a recipe for success.
For the Situation, which is the card I am seeing as the "significant other", the Ogham are clear that this person or people will come from the world of strangers. They provide Nuin or Communication, meaning that you are highly likely to find this person or people through technological means.
For the Outcome, they provide Ioho or Grace, meaning that you are letting go of the correct baggage and sending out the appropriate energy to bring in the mate you desire. If it is a long term relationship you are after, this card bodes extremely well.

Re: Week of Oct 16
Date: 2022-10-18 03:03 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. Close relationships are your strength this week. Knowing what secrets to keep, especially the ones you take to the grave, is powerful.
For the Situation, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. Your expectations are realistic and you receive adequate returns because of it as well as good karma. You invest in the right people and causes.
For the Outcome, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. Health may be bad this week, so take precautions where possible. Basically there isn't much any of us can do about getting older (Getting Old Sucks, part 32,304,989) but you can do logical prevention, supplementation, therapeutic exercise, strategic bathing, basic maintenance, and leave the rest to Stoicism.
