Ogham Readings on Sundays

[kimberlysteele]

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 27, 2022. Thank you for your queries, prayers, and donations and see you next week for more free readings!

Hi Dave,

You drew three cards this week. For the You position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. You stand a very good chance of rising above petty dramas, low behavior, and rudeness this week. Anyone who witnesses it will have the opportunity of seeing what truly constitutes a higher class of thinking/behaving.

For the Situation, you drew Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified. You will have a realization about a person or situation (could be past or in the now) that cannot be helped and why it cannot be helped. Though this will be much needed, it will suck. Ignorance in some ways truly is bliss but knowing is better, I think.

For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. This can point to being either oversensitive, under-sensitive, or a combination of both extremes in different areas. If you have oversensitivity, you are allowing too much figurative and literal junk into your life. Ruthlessly discard and prune. If it is the opposite, being under-sensitive, refuse the temptation to use numbness and callousness (i.e. being mean) to defend yourself. Deal with why you feel a need to defend yourself and ask "What ugly part of myself am I refusing to deal with?"

Hi Kimberly,

What do your Ogham think of new options X or Y, and if we do one of those, should we also do Z?

I'd also love a general "What's up this week?" if that's OK.

Thanks!

Hi Neb, thank you. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving.

You drew three cards for December.

For the You position, you drew Quert or Delight well-dignified. Your December will be filled with small gratitudes and pleasures. It is likely that it will be a relatively easy month in the scheme of things, and you'll have your own attitude to thank for this.

For the Situation, you drew Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. This is most likely talking about your astral environment, including that of your town, province, and country. Basically, it's septic. That's no surprise though because the entire collective astral is septic right now and it's rare to find a place that is not that way. The Ogham advise you to not make any big purchases or decisions without super-thorough (more than usual) meditation this month.

For the Outcome, you drew Oír or Epiphany well-dignified. You will have a realization that could be unpleasant but will transform your life in at least a small way for the better. Keep your eyes and ears open for what this is. It will be worth thinking about as it will seek to inform how you should live in the future.

My Ogham don't think you've angered anybody. They provide Tinne or Defense ill-dignified, meaning that your incident may be seen as an act of defense.

For the second "What do the Ogham suggest?" They provide Onn or Community ill-dignified, meaning that you should do a small, private/secret act that benefits the community, for instance picking up some trash at the park or saying some kind words to a person who seems to need it, and in this way you can make up for whatever error has occurred.

Hi MF,

My Ogham like most of these.

For A, they provide Beith or Intention well-dignified, meaning A is a good idea in the right direction.

For B, they provide Koad or Confluence ill-dignified, meaning that B has a mixture of drawbacks for various reasons.

For C, they provide Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified, meaning that C benefits all sides.

For D, they provide Nuin or Communication well-dignified, which means that D is the best option for the picky and hard to please.

Overall, C is the best option with the most benefits according to the Ogham.

Hi, Kimberly, I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. Would you ask your Ogham for me if the person with whom I frequently interact in dreams is aware of and participating in the interactions? If this is too oddball, I totally understand, but it occurs quite regularly and had caused me to wonder. Enjoy your coffee on me!

:)

Hi Anon,

My Ogham give you three cards to answer you with the third being the answer to your final question.

For the You position, you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. The coming changes are indeed for the best. You will find they allow you to divine what you truly love in this life. You can make the best of this by taking a minimal approach: don't hold on to anything you dislike or are lukewarm about. Keep only that which is beloved, and that includes relationships.

For the Situation, you drew Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. You stand a good chance of seeing overall improvement where anything that is truly important is concerned. Chances are you'll have some wool removed from your eyes where priorities are concerned.

For the Karma or Outcome, and your question "Will I get the relief I need?" The Ogham say No, you won't. They provide Quert or Delight ill-dignified, which points to you needing to appreciate what you see as the small things in life. Small gratitudes add up quickly, so that is why it is important to be grateful for seemingly basic, small things.

Re: a rural home & a pup

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

So sorry to hear you are going through this. Landlords are able to get away with crap like what you describe only because the housing market is so over-inflated.

My Ogham suggest that you should do both strategies: be defiant as well as get out ASAP no matter what.

For your first question, they provide Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. As AJ pointed out, it is none of their business where your dog is while on the grounds you are renting. Make sure you know the law, and unless there is noise pollution in the form of excessive barking, you are well within your rights to let your dog run around. I always thought that rural landowners weren't as uptight about pets as us city folk. I guess I am wrong in your case.

My Ogham also suggest you should get out of that place ASAP. They provide Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified, indicating you'll come out on top if you get out of there. The Ogham inform me that there is something off about the land spirit in that place that you cannot help or do anything about. Best to leave it behind.

Re: December strategy

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Jonathan,

My Ogham give you three cards for December.

For the You position, they provide Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. This means that you need to do some hard work this month determining what your ideal life looks like and then you should get rid of things (and perhaps time spent with certain people) who are holding you back from that life. To do this effectively, you will have to approach the tasks with minimum drama and maximum kindness. By freeing up what you don't want, you allow it to go to its best destiny, or for its materials to be broken up and reused again.

For the Situation, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. You stand a good chance of learning from a master in December, though whether that's a live, in the flesh human, a good book, a god or wandering angel, or none of the above is anyone's guess.

For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. It is important to look at past failed investments and strategies, because history has a way of repeating itself in a not so great way this month. Where have you gone wrong and poured energy into something/someone futile? Look to the past to see how to fix the future.

thank you Kimberly!

Hi IVN,

You drew three cards this week. It's looking rosy for you; all three cards were well-dignified.

For the You position, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. You have a good balance between time spent alone and time spent with others this week, and it is the perfect amount for self-reflection while maintaining a healthy relationship with the outside world.

For the Situation, you drew Nuin or Communication. This is a good week for public recognition if you seek it -- if you have any important dealings with strangers, this is the week to make those things happen. Tech provides more benefits than drawbacks for the time being.

For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience. It is your past self-conditioning, self-awareness, and self-preparation that have made the current balance possible. In the end, true resilience is a matter of attitude: learning to prepare for the future without going overboard into doomer fear porn, but being conscientious and realistic about what could happen.

Didn't have time to post this with my question but, feedback from last week:

What your Ogham said about options 1 & 2 are exactly what I thought about them!

But 3 was just "find someone else to do the job"... I guess they were saying now is not the right time to do that job / we wouldn't be able to find anyone who could do a good job. So my this week's question does reflect a change in direction.

Anyway, thanks again!

Hi Mr. N.,

My Ogham give you three cards for the SPD-SPD era.

For the You position, they provide Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. You may feel impatient for something to end, or feel that you need to change something fairly drastic in order to thrive. That said, the warning here is to choose carefully what you are going to stick with.

For the Situation, you drew Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. The Ogham see a hard challenge or two for you, but nothing you cannot handle. You will stand a high chance of facing adversity and opposition with uncommon grace with a balance of force.

For the Outcome or general Karma of the period, they provide Muin or Harvest well-dignified, meaning that you understand you sow what you reap and because of this, you choose to plant the right seeds.

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham give you Duir or Gifts ill-dignified, meaning that it will take much more effort and resources than you think it would, however, the end result will be a gift that will keep on giving long after you are gone from this Earth.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi Anon,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You position, you drew Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. Through no action of your own, things are rosy this week. You'll have lots of luck in whatever you do, so it is a good week to make decisions and make major purchases.

For the Situation, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. There may be something you or someone close to you is not letting go of at the appropriate time. There is also a chance of driving yourself too hard, or the opposite problem of not motivating yourself enough.

For the Outcome, you drew Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. There is a possibility here of either being smothered or doing the smothering yourself, if so, back off a bit and don't allow another person to emotionally manipulate you through their seeming generosity. This could also be a more positive form of imbalance: that you are overly generous and/or someone is overly generous to you.

[kimberlysteele]

Hi there,

You got three cards this week.

For the You position, you drew Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. This can mean a couple of things: it can mean you are lavishing someone with unwanted attention or that they are doing this to you. In either case, cooling mutual jets and backing off is the best approach. Uilleand ill-dig can also mean that you are exceedingly and excessively generous this week, creating excellent after effects for you that reverberate across the planes.

For the Situation, you drew Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. You play it close to the vest when it is necessary to do so. Less is more especially when it comes to speaking to other humans this week. You see the fruits of that which you have worked to master and perhaps are able to share your hard-earned knowledge with those who appreciate it.

For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. There may be unpleasantness in close relationships this week, irritation with others, or someone trying to intrude when they should mind their own business.

My Ogham do not think you should delay Option R. They provide Luis or Protection ill-dignified in answer to that question.

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham don't think you inherited it. They provide Onn or Community ill-dignified, indicating that it was given either to a member of the local community or donated as charity.

Re: Princess Cutekitten

[kimberlysteele]

Hi PCK,

My Ogham think this will be a good week. All three cards were well-dignified.

For the You position, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. You are able to look at your past this week with grace and to understand your own triumphs and failings through a balanced lens. It is a good week to reflect on which mistakes led you to good places you did not expect and which genuinely held you back.

For the Situation, you drew Eadha or Limits. When well-dignified, Eadha speaks about the power of limits and the ability to work within them and thrive. This is a good week to think about times when you've either tried to push limits with bad results or when you have not pushed enough.

For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles. You have a good chance of meeting challenges this week with balanced force, meaning not overreacting or doing something rash but also not under-reacting and/or running away from opposition. One of the primary imbalances of our era is how demented we have become when it comes to the fight or flight response.

[kimberlysteele]

My Ogham do not believe you are correct. They provide Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. It's an iffy answer though, because Uilleand ill-dignified is not as definite or concrete as other ill-dignified cards.

Thank you so much, as always.

Jonathan.

Hi PW,

My Ogham like Option Y. For X, they provide Quert or Delight ill-dignified, which means X is less than delightful. For Y, they provide Fearn or Guidance well-dignified, which means Y is a solid bridge leading to better places.

You drew three cards this week.

For the You position, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. You have weathered enough storms and you find yourself much better prepared for life's surprises this week. Your attitude towards being prepared is close to perfect: you're not obsessing over the unnecessary but you're also not playing it fast and loose.

For the Situation, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. The Ogham warn you to keep your wisdom to yourself; it is very possible you do know more than the supposed experts because unlike them, you earned what you know. Additionally, you may find yourself dealing with someone who feels their ignorance is better than your knowledge or find yourself stymied when it comes to having your wisdom recognized.

For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret ill-dignified. There is no use beating yourself up over the past, nor is there much use in beating others up for mistakes that cannot be fixed. Learn to forgive, including forgiving yourself. That said, the opposite imbalance may be at work here where you are not assuming culpability for errors you did make or damage in which you played a part in making.

Hi Econojames,

Thanks for the coffee!

My Ogham think the person is not aware, though their higher self probably knows. My Ogham answer with Tinne or Defense ill-dignified, meaning the person's normal defenses between conscious and unconscious minds do not allow him or her to know about the interactions.

I have several people, both living and dead, who recur to me as dreams. One of them was a non-romantic relationship in this life who I believe was my wife when I was a man in a former life. I believe I have had several lifetimes of being involved with this person, usually romantically, but not this time around. In this incarnation, I found this person too toxic to be around and left them behind on purpose when it became possible to do so.

[(Anonymous)]

Good, I didn't want to inherit it. I know you've said the Ogham want medical questions to be super stripped down, so "item B" was actually short for a disease-causing genetic mutation that at least one member of my extended family apparently carries. I may get formally tested anyway, but this is an interesting take. I wonder what giving it away to a thrift store would look like in that context.

Thanks, Angry Oregonian

Re: Princess Cutekitten

[(Anonymous)]

I am glad to hear that! Thank you!

[kimberlysteele]

Interesting! It's strange they chose "Community", as a genetic mutation is not technically a communicable disease.

[econojames]

Thank you, Kimberly; the Ogham's answer was my instinct as well, which is nice to know.

Your account is fascinating!
