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 have had success using a new (to me) platform called Buy Me a Coffee:

Ogham reading requests are concluded for the week of December 11. Please be patient as it can take me anywhere from 4 - 48 hours to get to all the readings.
Your prayers to the gods/God for my continued success are always welcome whether or not you choose to tip.

Date: 2022-12-12 07:58 pm (UTC)i wasn't gonna write because i cannot presume to know ANYTHING of any substance from what you posted on Kimberly's site, BUT i went to go look at the preview of your book before looking at it and i winced and here's WHY:
i think you're of the internet generation and even your pitch to sell this writing was internetty, in that you're surface skating which is what the internet is all about and does. the medium is the message or it re-makes the world and you in its own image.
i winced because it and her pitch cheapens this work. and your question to Kimberly and that you get an e-book a DAY is crazy for retention and rumination...what Papa G calls meditation.
to be a woman to me and from the others who taught me, because we are each sisters and trade secrets and gifts all the time on how to BE this DO this... to me there is no BOOK and i myself am loathe to write down all i know about what i do because it always cheapens it just when i share it-- to gen pop or even the ones who get it on eco dream/or eco main.
but i do it because the internet has stolen everyone's inner attention and free time and imagination and i'm doing all i can to REMIND anyone who recognizes what i'm doing before we all get covered in resin and frozen in movement and life.
so i'm not Kimberly but as a SISTER i will tell you that i think you're even ASKING Kimberly such questions because you've lost touch with your deepest Femininity.
it is more expansive and amazing and wondrous than you know. this is what today's thinking misses as it kills... deadens... flattens... dessiccates... infiltrates and castrates.
this is why some girls of yore kept fluffy diaries or wrote hearts on the special days in the calendar. you cannot be a minimalist human. woman or man.
it's boring.
but i think you're saying the internet got boring and ain't nada on TV... or the magic phone as it is now.
so dare to be bored and try ONE just ONE of Papa G's teachings or offerings. the innerwebs teaches us to SKATE sample move on be distracted no eye contact even with one's own soul.
that's why we're gathered together here today.
i'm gonna publicly post this on eco dream even though THAT makes me wince. i'm sharing myself with my sisters and brothers who choose to falter into the world with experimenting on this work and i use myself as an example or inciter or inspirer on HOW to play with these things we read and study about.
so being Woman is a lot more fun and complicated than we've all recently been led to believe. one's secrets are necessary a must and i cannot look at that file you sent not because i don't trust you but because of the wince.
this is the world we are in and someone will always try to make a buck and pitch a new way but i don't think you can possibly hope to write down and hope to SELL such a thing. especially an ebook on the internet.
so stop vacuuming scanning skipping... stop stay still and see what happens in your BODY. watch how hard that is when you're not distracted by an e-book a day.
that's the world now. all scanning... no LIVING.
don't be "optimal" or "efficient." consider those bad words for awhile and see how it feels. then pick up one of Papa's studies that appeals to you. he's clean. anyone else is selling you something else on the other side. a retreat a logo water bottle a daily meditation you pay for on substack...
good luck...

Date: 2022-12-13 09:13 am (UTC)For someone who knows very little about me, you managed to make some very astute comments! So I think I'll just cut to the chase here and say thank you! You have given me plenty of food for thought, and I will take care to digest it with as much openness as I can muster!
Thank you,

Date: 2022-12-15 04:48 pm (UTC)thank you for daring to take in what i foisted onto you.
whenever it comes at me like that i ALSO wanna repress it because who the hell am i???
i've been thinking about you and thank you again for not "answering."
i used to get in trouble with that with my own mentor here years ago. i'd defend myself and she'd say, "hush... just be quiet. what i said you cannot answer."

Date: 2022-12-15 07:01 pm (UTC)the quiet comes FIRST so you discover who you are what you wanna do what makes you sparkle and burst into flame or wince flinch and cower... THEN you can think about how you wanna live out your time here and always have this center this grounding to return to.
it's what can and will protect you from further jonestown scenarios or even little hucksters will have no promises for you but to only bleed you like mosquitoes and vampires. they will be obvious as if they're wearing hi-vis yellow vests.
have fun and good luck. AND most importantly reach out to other young ones such as yourself such as us here... we're lonely and our kin is often other loners and we find each other by daring to say hello and SAY TOO MUCH.
see?
isn't this better than foisting someone else's e-book on me and going away?
