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.
I am currently trying to minimize my use of PayPal because they keep making weird threats towards opinionated creatives like myself. I am ABSOLUTELY LOVING the new tip jar service recommended on the Ecosophia blog, especially that I can thank people right on the platform for their donations. PayPal may soon become a distant memory!

Your prayers to the gods/God for my continued success are always welcome whether or not you choose to tip.
Ogham reading requests are closed for the week of November 20, 2022. Thank you for your queries, prayers, and donations and see you next week for more free readings!

Date: 2022-11-20 04:53 am (UTC)Last week, I asked about remaining at my current place of work, and attempting to find a new job, and both results were negative. I'd like a follow up reading, asking if I'm right that there was guidance from a higher power today that led me to see a new possibility for employment somewhere I'd never considered, and likely would not have considered without the string of weird coincidences around it.
If this is the case, does it change the reading from last week that my efforts at job hunting will go nowhere if I quit my current job?
no subject
Date: 2022-11-21 03:58 am (UTC)My Ogham say Yes, there is guidance from a higher power at work here. They provide Ruis or Regret well-dignified, which indicates you are being taught a lesson about the nature of regret. When is regret actually a good thing? How can an imbalance of regret in either direction create problems? What does balanced regret look like in your case? These are all questions my Ogham suggest meditating on.
For the second question, my Ogham say Yes, it does change the reading from last week. They provide Luis or Protection well-dignified, which is to say "forewarned is forearmed". As long as you are willing to accept the risk as well as potentially bad outcomes in a Stoic manner, you will be OK.

Date: 2022-11-21 04:07 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. There will be a high risk of going too fast to enjoy life this week or the opposite imbalance of feeling under the weather and crabby because of it. Complaining is useful sometimes but don't soak in it, because people who complain excessively are the same ones who take the good in the world for granted. Don't let the drama inherent to human living distract you from small gratitudes either way. It is small gratitudes that add up to a life well-lived.
For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. This week offers a glimpse of the natural laws concerning generosity and its cousins, abundance and wealth. Generosity, abundance, and wealth are designed to flow, and that means that when they do not sit in any one place, they grow like healthy plants with plenty of sunlight and water.
For the Outcome, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. It's not that this week is stress free; the Ogham make zero promises where that is concerned. You do have a strong chance of handling stressful situations like a pro, and if you can be honest with yourself about the amount of duress you experience, you will build future transcendence.
Future
Date: 2022-11-20 08:30 am (UTC)I would like a reading on where my and my immediate family long term future resides.
Currently live in the UK but have major concerns about the future of Europe (for many reasons) so the thought of emigrating has occurred recently.
A second request is a Oghram reading on the fate of children of the vaxxed. Starting to read articles speculating that babies of jabbed mums and parents have v weak immune system, something JP has blogged about and is based on recent scientific research.
Re: Future
Date: 2022-11-21 04:17 am (UTC)My Ogham don't like the UK for you and your immediate family for the long term. They provide three cards, all ill-dignified. For the You or most immediate position, you drew Onn or Community ill-dignified, which forecasts alienation, feeling like you cannot trust your neighbors, and having difficulty finding/keeping employment. For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity, and that indicates having to depend on charity from family, friends, or strangers in order to stay afloat. For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching. That one I find to be the worst because it means that any skills you have mastered won't be put to good use and/or you will have to deal with people who think their ignorance is better than your knowledge.
For the children of the vaxxed, it's not looking good. The Ogham provide Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified, which clearly indicates that many of the unfortunate ones who survive will understand their parents are to blame for their terrible health and compromised immune systems/VAIDS. Whether or not they will be able to forgive their parents remains to be seen. Infertility is already becoming a worldwide problem because of the quax.

Please can you ask your Ogham what I would be wise to keep in mind this week.
no subject
Date: 2022-11-21 04:24 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. When Uilleand is in balance, it means you are giving of yourself and receiving unto yourself with equal measure. Of course if you manage to tip the balance and give more than you receive, you will find that what you give returns back to you 7x more than what you gave, though on what planes or in what ways the gifts will return the Ogham do not specify.
For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. You and those around you help others to feel protected and loved. Spreading this brand of kindness generates excellent karma. That said, the very presence of this card may indicate a need for protection or danger lurking on the periphery.
For the Outcome, you drew Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. You have the position of being a beacon of light in an astral s##tstorm this week. Fun! Keep the state of your mind lofty and transcendent, do protective magic, and don't make any major decisions if you do not have to do so. The astral environment in my neck of the woods is beyond horrible lately, so you are in good company.

Work at the house continues and I'm hopeful it will get easier soon.
This week I would like to ask the Ogham what the remainder of 2022 has in store for me?
Thank you,

The Ogham give you three cards for the rest of 2022. For the You position, they provide Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. This points to the benefits of sensible limits where work and the assignation of work is concerned, a good mental picture of what you want without excess pushing or the opposite problem of excess angst.
For the Situation, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. It is all too easy to sink into "poor pitiful me" syndrome and to allow the process to drain you in every sense. One of the insidious and unseen problems of modern life is etheric starvation, which is caused by a huge list of factors, including low quality food, riding or driving in vehicles, not enough sunlight, loud noises, lack of sleep, etc. The Ogham suggest slowing down and appreciating every aspect, minimizing complaining despite the urge to wallow in grievances, and moderation in all things.
For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. This is a card I tend to draw when my finances are terrible and my bank account is running on empty. It is important here to draw a hard line between needs and wants. Remember that our civilization has several toxic egregores and one of these is the Perfection egregore. Don't let it push you around or force you into competition for an unexamined yet lusted-after prize.
It’s me Bruja
Date: 2022-11-20 02:16 pm (UTC)Re: It’s me Bruja
Date: 2022-11-21 04:56 am (UTC)What a delight to see you here! Thank you for looking me up.
The Ogham give you three cards this week.
For the You or most immediate position, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. Quert is symbolized by the Apple tree in both the traditional Ogham and my Prairie Ogham, and the Apple is a symbol of fullness, sensuality, and gratitude for small bits of happiness in life. When it is ill-dignified, in my system it means there is either an excess of Quert energy or a lack of it, with a middling balance being the ideal between the two poles (Aristotlean virtue). If there is too much Quert, it means you run the risk of overdoing something you enjoy, like eating, drinking, or spending too much. If there is a deficiency of Quert, it could indicate etheric starvation, which I often label as the most common condition of modern times. If it is a case of etheric starvation, natural magic can be very helpful, and since I presume you are more than literate where that's concerned, I'll presume you have a trick or two up your sleeve. The Ogham often give advice about imbalance before it happens so you can head it off at the pass.
For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. Uilleand is symbolized by the honeysuckle in the old Ogham and by the trumpet vine in my Ogham. There is a good chance of someone being generous to you this week and/or you being generous to someone. An entity (not sure who it was) once told me that generosity from the heart returns to the giver amplified by seven times, though only the gods know in what specific forms it returns. So whenever you tip the balance by giving a little more, that energy returns to you because it's a natural law as sure as gravity.
For the Outcome, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. Nuin is symbolized by the Ash in the old Ogham and the Gingko Biloba tree in mine. Good things come from the world of strangers and technology this week. When Nuin's forces are in balance, recognition comes when it is due, commercial transactions stand a good chance of going off without a hitch, and strangers turn into friends and potential allies.

Date: 2022-11-20 03:10 pm (UTC)If it's alright, I'd like to ask for your Ogham's help with organizing my priorities in life right now. I believe I know what my no. 1 priority is, though I'm not infallible. How much effort does your Ogham suggest I put into these activities:
1, reaching out even more socially to form more friendships and find a partner;
2, learning divination;
3, reading and meditating on the books on mysticism I'm thinking of;
4, journaling on my strengths and flaws on a more regular basis;
5, keeping up and improving my exercise regimen;
Thank you so much for you and your Ogham's help.
no subject
Date: 2022-11-21 05:06 am (UTC)My Ogham have five cards to answer your five questions:
For 1, they provide Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. This is the Ogham saying that it's too distracting to get more social than you are at the moment.
For 2, they say No, now is not the time to learn divination. They provide Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified, which indicates that it is OK for now to outsource divination to people like me, Andrew Skeen (horary astrology), or others.
For 3, they provide a Yes. They answer with Beith or Beginnings well-dignified, which indicates that reading and meditating on mystical books is a very good idea.
For 4, journaling, they provide another Yes in the form of Nuin or Communication well-dignified. By understanding your own strengths and flaws, you will understand that you are a product of your civilization and learn to forgive yourself for some of what you were saddled with by virtue of that reality.
For 5, they also provide a Yes. They give Muin or Harvest well-dignified, which is a clear "you reap what you sow" message.

Date: 2022-11-20 03:58 pm (UTC)Q- Some geomantic readings I've had done (or ran myself) have been consistently indicating I'll be laid off next year at my current company. What advice do the ogham have on looking for a new role or preparing for this?
Thanks,
Tamanous

Date: 2022-11-21 05:18 am (UTC)Sorry to hear that! One of the few solaces of working for myself and always being on the knife edge of poverty because of it is that if I lose work, I can always relocate if things get untenable. Straight out of the gate and apart from my Ogham, I am going to suggest pursuing multiple streams of income, meaning create at least one side hustle to learn important lessons about the digital era and independence. I'm nowhere near as successful as Charlie Chang, but I do like his down to earth way of explaining how he makes what seems an honest buck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhUeROuQN-8
My Ogham give you Phagos well-dignified, which indicates your divinations are probably correct. They suggest meditation on what you are uniquely good (could be many things) at followed by a relentless pursuit of improving your knowledge of that field.
Renew Contract?
Date: 2022-11-20 06:23 pm (UTC)We received an annual contract renewal agreement from a person who has done work for us these past twelve years. He's retiring, and selling his business to his son. Son is a bit of a wild card. He can be unreliable, and dad knows this so will continue to be involved in the business, but son is expected to do the heavy lifting (literally and figuratively).
Our relationship with the dad inspires the thought to give the son a chance. But, having seen son in action solo and heard dad's stories, we're not so sure.
What might the Ogham say about the wisdom of renewing this contract?
Thanks!
Valerie

Date: 2022-11-21 05:29 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. Huath is war spirit and martial force. When it is ill-dignified, it indicates either too little or too much force being applied. If it's too little, take the time to face and properly contemplate your fear instead of shrinking away from threats real and perceived. If it is too much, be careful of being the bull in a china shop -- don't be a hero if the situation does not call for a hero.
For the Situation, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. When Phagos shows up in this position, it often indicates having to suffer a fool or worse, several fools who believe their ignorance to be better than your knowledge. Another risk is feeling tempted to pretend you know something you don't. In most Phagos-unbalanced situations, silence is golden. Think carefully before you speak if you speak at all!
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Flexibility well-dignified. You have a good chance of losing some bad baggage this week. Whether this is physical or mental baggage the Ogham neglect to say. This is a good week to look at how getting rid of baggage allows you to shift your priorities and your energy towards what is truly important.

Date: 2022-11-20 08:31 pm (UTC)I wanted to meet my new friend that I'm fond of while visiting my previous city this week. We made plans, but she didn't feeling well the night before and cancelled. My question is, was her reason genuine?
Seeing that I won't be back for several months, should I forget about her and not make an effort to keep in contact for my long-term good?
Thanks!

no subject
Date: 2022-11-21 05:34 am (UTC)For her reasons being genuine, they don't think so. They provide Tinne or Defense ill-dignified, which is to say she is defending herself against a threat that may or may not exist or that lowering your own defenses where she is concerned does not have a pleasant ending.
For the second question, my Ogham say Yes. They give you Koad or Confluence well-dignified, meaning that a combination of fate and choice put her in your way and fate and choice can usher her out. They suggest you usher her out.
Unfortunately, my Ogham seem to think she is bad news.

Date: 2022-11-21 12:23 am (UTC)The thing I found today, and how it then sort of fell into place, so it felt like a sign or some sort of communication - was it? And if so, is there any further insight your Ogham can provide?
Thank you!
no subject
Date: 2022-11-21 04:55 pm (UTC)My Ogham say Yes, it was a synchronicity that mattered. They provide Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified, which means it has to do with prioritizing what/who/where you truly love. When you do focus on what you love, it often goes with the territory of excluding that which you do not love. As much as Hallmark cards would like to insist to the contrary, love is finite and temporary much like us human beings. There isn't enough of it to squander on things you are lukewarm or indifferent about. Embracing the limits of what you can love and focusing on that love is what Saille is all about.

no subject
Date: 2022-11-21 05:03 pm (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you got Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. There may be disappointment or other forms of unpleasantness with someone in your inner circle. The urge to give away too much information and its opposite imbalance, to withdraw and be unwilling to share, are present this week.
For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. This shows both you and those close to you being in a state of mind that transcends the astral mess that so characterizes the world we live in right now. The ability to communicate and listen to your higher self is a fierce, strong bulwark against the muck of the collective astral plane. That said, the presence of this card, even when well-dignified, can indicate threats lurking on the periphery that want to hurt you.
For the Outcome, you drew Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. This is a good luck week in general, though it may not start out that way. Things are shifting for the better, so now is the time to look at what opportunities present themselves, both large and small.

Date: 2022-11-21 01:43 am (UTC)Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2022-11-21 05:14 pm (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. There are a couple of potentials this week of imbalance. One is too little transcendence, which talks about being crabby, depressed, or bored. The other is too much transcendence, which is the tendency to insist to everyone, including yourself, that's it is all fine and OK as a way of saying the shadow does not exist. To bring Ailm back into balance, it is crucial to be honest.
For the Situation, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. You or someone close to you either strains against limits or embraces them with too much gusto. In the first case, frustration can lead to recklessness and risk. In the second, fear takes over and we take on a toxic egregore of stinginess/parsimony and we shrink further into a condensed form of ourselves.
For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. Despite this week's woes, there is a foundation in place of even-tempered adaptation that means you won't just survive, you will thrive.

Date: 2022-11-21 01:47 am (UTC)What do your Ogham think of
option 1
option 2
or
option 3?
And if it's ok I'd love a "what's up this week?" reading too.
Thanks!

no subject
Date: 2022-11-21 05:29 pm (UTC)My Ogham don't like any of the three options. All cards were ill-dignified.
For Option 1, they provide Ioho or Rest ill-dignified, which is to say Option 1 lacks grace and either hasn't the energy to meet your needs or has too much energy in the wrong direction.
For Option 2, they provide Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified, which means that Option 2 creates more problems than it solves.
For Option 3, they provide Fearn or Guidance ill-dignified. Fearn in this dignity points to bad advice and the inability to solve problems.
This week looks like a bit of a doozy as well. All three cards in your weekly reading are ill-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Muin or Harvest. This points to an imbalance of expectations versus reality, pouring energy into strategies that lead to your detriment, and the psychology of previous investment. The Ogham are clearly sending you a message that you need a shift in modes of thinking, especially concerning the general question of Option 1, 2, and 3.
For the Situation, they provide Luis or Protection ill-dignified. This one means that you and those close to you need to have conversations with your/their higher selves. There are two imbalances of Protection: too little and too much. I don't think you are the reckless, party animal sort that this card can sometimes indicate, so I believe the Ogham are trying to warn you that overprotection is in itself a form of under-protection. When you think you can immunize and insulate every threat from outside, you fail to see the damage you do on the inside.
For the Outcome, they provide Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. This is another card indicating almost the same thing as Luis. Over-defense often has the same results as recklessness. This is a good week to meditate deeply upon what the word "safe" means to you and how that can go awry, not just for you but for others. I highly recommend the film Safe (1995) starring Julianne Moore. It is a good commentary on one of the most insidious spirits of our times, the notion that we can retreat into a perfect world where there is no danger.
Week 47
Date: 2022-11-21 01:55 am (UTC)A few questions this week:
1. What do I need to know in order to make the best out of this week?
2. I didn't have time to look at my past Ogham readings in detail, so this is going to rely a lot on memory, plus trying to make sure I get this in by the deadline:
-I had a relative die recently.
-If I recall correctly, I had an Ogham reading that predicted possible danger/death on a relative, but I think the timing was off, possibly by a month or more. That being said, if the Ogham doesn't warn me about an impending death after I submit my question, is it possible that the Ogham thought that I would take relatively well the news of the death, thus I didn't need to be warned? Or, is it possible that the death was inevitable and not surprising in the circumstances? I guess I am wondering whether I should re-word my Ogham reading request in the near-future.
Thanks!

Re: Week 47
Date: 2022-11-21 05:43 pm (UTC)You drew three cards this week, all well-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Ur or Intimacy. You keep the secrets that matter this week, and you stand a good chance of discovering what it is to be happy in your own skin. This is a good week to think about the times you've been in harmony with yourself, especially if they have been rare and fleeting.
For the Situation, you drew Onn or Community. You fit in well into your general milieu. Semi-strangers such as store clerks, extended family, etc. are cooperative and helpful. This is a good week to meditate on the statement "It takes a village" and to look at the ways humans depend upon each other.
For the Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom. This is another card that indicates shutting up at the right time in the right place, or even better being able to chat about that which you know well and have mastered with someone who appreciates it. This is a good week to assess your own special areas of knowledge and what this has forced you to exclude in order to attain that knowledge.
As to your question about the death of your relative, first of all I offer my condolences. The Ogham aren't great with exact timing from what I have seen in the Fate of the Vaxxed/Unvaxxed readings. So far, they've been right about lockdowns, the end of lockdowns, and sadly the die off, but the timetable has been different than predicted. As far as your question about their impeding death and the need or lack thereof to be warned, it is my opinion that you are overthinking it. The Ogham don't tend to respond well for Yes/No questions because they lack nuance. It's far better to ask questions like "How should I prepare for my relative dying?" "Am I responding appropriately to the death of my relative?" or "Is there anything I can do to help my relative in the afterlife?"
