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:

Reading requests are completed for Thursday, December 18, 2022. Please be patient as it often takes me anywhere from 4-48 hours to get to all of them. Thank you and have a wonderful Solstice holiday. I will be back with more free Ogham readings on Sunday, January 8, 2023.

Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2022-12-19 03:06 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. Though there may be unsavory situations this week, you rise above them with style and class. You will be in role model form which is more helpful to others than you will ever know.
For the Situation, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. Watch for a situation for you or someone close to you that represents too much or too little perseverance. Too much and it means being too patient, apologetic, or stuck in a negative cycle. Too little and it means you're worn thin, often physically. Watch the bank account like a hawk and be prepared for crappy financial straits -- I often pull Gort ill-dignified when my money is running low.
For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. You are built to outlast the storm, providing a much needed rock of strength. True resilience is mental. Sometimes the worst-prepared people are the wealthiest, probably because they become fragile from living inside the bubble.

Date: 2022-12-19 03:13 am (UTC)My Ogham warn of a doozy of a time between now and Epiphany: all three cards were ill-dignified. That said, keep in mind that forewarned is indeed forearmed.
For the You position, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. When this is in the You position, it means you're holding on to something you should consider lessening your role in or abandoning completely. Where are the areas of sunk investment in your life, past and present? It can also mean you're worn out and worn thin, have stretched finances, or aren't feeling well and need to give yourself some tender loving care.
For the Situation, you drew Ruis or Regret ill-dignified. There is a tendency for either you to beat yourself up too much or someone to do that for you, to blame you for what you either had no part in or could not help. There is also the possibility of not enough regret, and in that case, you or someone close to you is running away from culpability and responsibility. Better to face it and be honest.
For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. You may have to suffer a fool or many fools... nothing is worse than a person who thinks their ignorance is better than your knowledge. Ignore, deflect, and don't show your cards; it's never worth it when dealing with someone who is determined to put an idiot hat on. Alternately, you could be suffering from a lack of knowledge yourself and feel desperate or impatient for that knowledge. Rome was not built in a day! Invoke patience, you will need it.

Date: 2022-12-19 03:16 am (UTC)As far as January, they say Yes, it's good. They provide Tinne or Defense well-dignified.
Requests
Date: 2022-12-18 05:32 pm (UTC)I have two requests for this week:
1) a reading on the long-term future of the financial services firm Stonehage Fleming Group?
2) a reading on the fate of the Covid vaccinated in 2035?
Thanks
Paul
Re: Requests
Date: 2022-12-19 03:23 am (UTC)The future looks good for Stonehage Fleming. The Ogham provide Koad or Confluence well-dignified, meaning that via their own actions as well as the hand of fate, they will be able to sustain themselves for the long term.
As for the a reading for the vaxxed in 2035, my Ogham will consider answering that, but not today. If I do a reading on it, I will do it as part of my blog and I'll do an unvaxxed counterpart reading.

Date: 2022-12-19 07:29 am (UTC)Holidays
Date: 2022-12-18 06:07 pm (UTC)How are things going….. mainly emotionally
Re: Holidays
Date: 2022-12-19 03:47 am (UTC)For the Situation, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. This means that you need to let go of sunk investments and do some cutting and clearing of old connections. It can also mean that you are feeling worn out, taxed, and spread too thin and need to cut yourself some slack.
For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community ill-dignified. You often feel like a fifth wheel/square peg in a round hole. The world of semi-strangers, including romantic ones, is very disappointing. The Ogham suggest a temporary withdrawal, because keeping toxic hope on the front burners is exhausting and debilitating, perhaps literally. The key is not aggrandizing yourself/faking it/resting on your laurels as most self-help gurus would suggest but actually in looking at yourself as the ultimate project and working on the flaws you can actually do something about, and this ranges from the superficial to the deepest of the deep. Onn indicates it is not about them, it is about you. If you want to be loved, you must become more lovable.

Date: 2022-12-19 03:55 am (UTC)For the You position, the Ogham gave you Ruis or Regret well-dignified. The thoughts you are having about the past are important to resolving your karma. What lessons have you learned from both good and bad behaviors on your part and the part of others? How did the spirit of place affect you and inform you both now and then?
For the Situation, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. Pushing against the limits right now is not likely to end well. That said, don't give up and run away at first difficulty -- we are always meant to have some challenges as humans. Know your reasonable threshold and draw a line in the sand while weighing all outcomes like a good Stoic. If it is crossed, show no mercy; do what you need to do.
For the Outcome, you drew Oír or Epiphany well-dignified. This points to having a realization or multiple realizations about going around, figuring something out, or illuminating what was murky. Even though it is well-dignified, this realization could be painful.

Thanks!

Jan's Jan
Date: 2022-12-19 08:36 pm (UTC)The Ogham give you three cards for January 2023.
For the You position, they provide Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. The exchanges of money, energy, and time of everyday life are always a matter of generosity at their essence. Without the generosity of others, including the generosity of the Earth, we cannot exist, and our own generosity matters. This January is an opportunity to sense the forces underneath all the give and take. It is also an opportunity to tip the balance by giving just a bit too much of yourself, and watching that generosity sublimate and return to you via the power of seven.
For the Situation, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. Despite your own attitude towards generosity being balanced, you are most likely going to run into someone who suffers from parsimony, someone who is a spendthrift, or some combination of both those imbalances in one or more people. Hopefully this is not someone close to you, but it could be. Both parsimony and compulsive spending come from places of ingratitude, and this imbalance has been put in front of you so you can learn from it, hopefully without too much engagement on your own part.
For the Outcome, you drew Oír or Epiphany well-dignified. You are highly likely to have a necessary realization. It could be painful -- just because it is in a good dignity does not spare the pain of truth. Sometimes the pain of realizing the truth is that nobody around you gets it. As much as our civilization insists that having the approval of the herd is better than the alternative, epiphanies often don't come with the rubber stamp of popularity.

Date: 2022-12-18 11:03 pm (UTC)One question: my parents are suggesting I take a certain action to increase my finances. Does your Ogham agree that I should take up this action?
Many thanks and wishes for a wonderful Solstice.
no subject
Date: 2022-12-19 08:47 pm (UTC)My Ogham don't think the outcome of the action is as good as what your parents may think. They provide Luis or Protection ill-dignified. When Luis is out of whack, it often means a protective measure that goes awry. You think you're making the safe choice -- a great example is people with children who move to the suburbs to escape crime, avoid traffic, and get access to the "good" schools. What ends up happening is their kids turn to crime out of boredom directly caused by the artless, stifling suburban environment. Countless edgelords I grew up with who were literally the sons and daughters of engineers and architects fried their brains on drugs by age 19. As far as traffic, a worse problem is created when you train entire generations not to walk anywhere. The "good" schools are full of snotty, psychotic bullies with psychopathic parents who will snicker behind your back after your child's third suicide attempt. Always look at the big picture; sometimes it isn't so flattering.
Almost Christmas
Date: 2022-12-18 11:12 pm (UTC)We cleared out of the apartment. It took a lot more effort than I expected to get it done, but at the final walk through I was assured that I would only be billed for a blind that was damaged. I did take a whole bunch of pictures before we left of the clean up unit just in case. I've yet to get my final closing statement so we'll see how that shakes out.
I would like a reading for this up coming winter.
Thank you,
-MF
Re: Almost Christmas
Date: 2022-12-19 08:55 pm (UTC)Glad to hear it and thanks for the feedback! You drew three cards for this winter.
For the You position, you drew Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. Though this card is ill-dignified, it is one of the milder imbalances in the Ogham. It could mean that you are lavishing too much TLC on someone who neither wants nor appreciates it, or that you are the recipient of what feels like smothering. It could also mean that you are generous to a fault this winter, giving a bit more than you can technically afford from the goodness of your heart. The uncanny part is that the more you give in that spirit, the more you will get back -- it's possible to give so much from a pure heart that you sublimate yourself right into St. Francis, Jesus, or Buddha status.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. You are likely to set a good example by inspiring others to transcend the ordinary and the mundane. Taking the high road is never easy, but the end of the road payoff is far greater. That said, expect trollery and bad behavior from various corners that you'll have to rise above.
For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. Playing it close to the vest is highly recommended this winter season. The Ogham think it won't be too much for you to handle. This is also a prediction of relative stability and harmony in your intimate relationships.

Date: 2022-12-19 09:28 pm (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. This week you'll have the opportunity to shine at something you've mastered -- keep in mind that this could be an academic field of study, but it is far more likely to be a life skill such as cooking, crafting, organizing, or plain old human empathy that you will be able to share.
For the Situation, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. You or someone in your life may be clinging to the psychology of previous investment, perpetuating and participating in something that is at worst obsolete and pointless and at best past its prime. There is also the potential for an absence of Gort/Perseverance energy, and in that case, finances, resources, and energy may be stretched thin. Be prepared to set limits and stick to them.
For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret ill-dignified. There's no use in beating yourself up for mistakes in the past, and it's just as toxic to blame others. The only good solution is to be the change you want to see in the world and say "I don't do that anymore" with sincere repentance. Oppositely, nobody is completely blameless and that includes you. Be prepared to take on culpability, as imbalances of regret can also mean having a puffy ego and not being able to admit you were wrong. That also means not playing the excuseatarian when someone you like or love does something wrong and refuses to face facts.

Likewise what do they think about "J?"
And generally, what is good to know this coming week?
no subject
Date: 2022-12-19 09:41 pm (UTC)The Ogham give you three cards this week.
For the You position, they provide Luis or Protection ill-dignified. Though you may think you are covered, chances are you are missing some major vulnerabilities. Time to think outside the box when it comes to risk; a big-picture macro analysis is in order here.
For the Situation, you drew Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. There is a troublesome situation that may actually present physical danger for you or someone you love, so be on your guard. The Ogham think you (or they) will come out of it just fine though.
For the Outcome, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. Your willingness to reach out and help others in the past is being returned to you this week. You find guidance because you are open to it and you are willing to work with helpful sources despite the fact that they have flaws.

-- I'm afraid you're right, honestly. I've been growing increasingly alarmed the past few days about my health, but was not looking for health advice when I asked about the week. While I have grown to hate the profession I'm not sure I have anywhere to turn but western medicine for this one, and have contacted them.
> For the Situation, you drew Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. There is a troublesome situation that may actually present physical danger for you or someone you love, so be on your guard. The Ogham think you (or they) will come out of it just fine though.
-- Uh.... yeah, definitely that's the top of mind fear. Keeping positive should hopefully help while I figure out what I'm experiencing.

-- Helpful sources despite flaws. Yeah that basically describes many things around me at this point.

Date: 2022-12-24 06:52 am (UTC)- Something seems to have been going weird. Was referred to the ER over neurological symptoms.
- Nothing catastrophic was found in any imaging to explain weirdness and no interventions to be taken surgically.
- Suggestion direct from the doc had a wide range of potential vulnerabilities that could cause the weirdness in absence of an acute emergency.
- Implementing those suggestions on a trial and error basis while waiting on specialists seems to yield positive results the past few days, and I have strong suspicions on what might be the matter, and that indeed it *should* be something I can pull through if it is what it appears to be and continues to improve with these actions.
- Lots of people are more willing to help out than I'd suspected, and they each have at least something to contribute to the solution.
And yes, even the R and J have both illustrated well dignified wisdom and well dignified boundaries nearly immediately after your reading.

Date: 2022-12-24 04:53 pm (UTC)Thanks for the feedback! I'm no doctor, and this is not medical advice, but the condition you describe sounds like etheric starvation. The best remedies I have found for etheric starvation are:
-Limiting screen time, especially around bedtime
-Avoiding transport by car, train, bus, or plane
-WALKING in a park, semi-wild, or mostly wild space (I say walking and not biking because as much as I love to bike, it is not as etherically restorative as walking)
-Eating well-crafted food either by your own hand or someone else's
-Gratitude for everything great and small
-Cleaning out your living space and organizing it in a way that is aesthetically pleasing, then thanking the space and its items daily for their service

Date: 2022-12-29 03:25 am (UTC)Physically all the worrisome symptoms have abated, though I still plan to keep my upcoming appointments.
It does seem that it was a combination of a handful of different things effecting me in their own separate ways that stitched together well enough to disguise itself as one big problem. The tipping point was what seemed like a half-day long sinus infection but that caused a week's worth of spinal inflammation. Going to have to figure out why that happened, but with all the proximal physical causes under control each of the component problems seem to be in retreat
A new year

Gawain
Re: A new year
Date: 2022-12-19 09:35 pm (UTC)Thank you for the five "teas"!
My Ogham give you three cards for that.
For the You position, they say things are pretty balanced. They give you Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. This means that you are at home in your own skin and that you are seeing results from the work you've done on yourself. You know what to keep to yourself and when to express yourself far better than you used to in times past.
For the Situation, they provide Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. This year will present its troubles and the Ogham say you'll be very likely to rise above them. Your example will be an inspiration to people you know as well as people you do not know.
For the Karma, you drew Beith or Beginnings ill-dignified. This speaks to your energy being eclectic and spread too thin over too many projects or people. Be prepared to prune and to sacrifice anything you're not fully committed to, and be very careful about what or to whom you're committing yourself to. It can also be talking about something ending almost before it has a chance to get started. As much as this will hurt, it is meant to be, so try to be graceful in your acceptance of it.

Thanks, and happy New Year!

no subject
Date: 2022-12-19 09:52 pm (UTC)For the You position, meaning that which affects you and your family the most directly, you drew Phagos or Teaching. There are a great many "experts" out there who would confuse their own butt crack with a cleft in a sandbar. They need to prove themselves to you, not the other way around.
That said, don't be frustrated when you cannot get at the knowledge and solutions you desire. It is the human predicament that we can never solve all our problems.
For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. This can mean a couple of things -- it can mean someone is smothering someone else with too much care either inside or outside the family. It can also mean that you give enough of yourself in the spirit of generosity to tip the balance of generosity in your favor as that charitable karma returns to you.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity. Someone may be over-sensitive or undersensitive. Either one is bad. Over-sensitivity leads to emotional blow ups and melt downs, whereas undersensitivity often results in bullying, reckless entitlement, and numbness. It is a good time to sit down and contemplate getting rid of what you don't love and are only lukewarm about, and that includes all the details of life, both major and minor.
Happy New Year and gods bless you and your family.

Date: 2022-12-19 01:55 am (UTC)A couple weeks ago my family and I got (on the 11/13 post): Duir ill-dig, Onn well-dig, Ngetal well-dig.
During the following Sunday, my then-9-month-old fell three feet from the changing table to the wood floor. Her dad had turned away for a second, so he didn't see her fall and didn't know if she had hit her head. Even our most reassuring book said that anyone under 2 who falls at least 3 feet onto wood needs to be checked out. But it was Sunday night, so our only option was the ER.
We were at the ER and she was under observation there when I submitted a new weekly reading request from my phone (on the 11/19 post). (After a couple hours they declared her fine and sent us home.)
That reading was: Muin ill-dig, Luis ill-dig, Tinne ill-dig.
I think that was something we needed to hear to remind us not to become overprotective in the wake of this accident.
Do you have any further thoughts on interpreting those two readings given what happened?
-PW
no subject
Date: 2022-12-19 09:59 pm (UTC)The gods were clearly looking out for your baby -- praise Artemis and possibly others for that. Duir often talks about a divine influence and protective gifts. Onn is Community. Unfortunately, doctors and hospitals cannot be trusted these days, so the fact that you had a good group of semi-strangers who did not try to do the medical-racketeering thing at the ER was lucky indeed. As far as Ngetal, that means Health (sometimes I call it Hygiene, but it is both) and it was a prediction that her health would be fine.
For the week, I cannot speak to anything outside the ER trip, but it probably is talking about the ER trip's expense with Muin ill-dig, meaning an excursion that drains your "Harvest" and puts you into financial distress, plus a couple of warnings not to be one of those helicopter parents and end up missing the real threats while trying to address all the minor ones.
Week 51
Date: 2022-12-19 01:57 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 missed the past 3 Ogham reading opportunities. Can the Ogham comment on why I missed them? I almost feel like either I self-sabotaged, or I felt like I became too dependent and needed a break.
Thanks!
-Eugene
Re: Week 51
Date: 2022-12-19 10:12 pm (UTC)For the You position, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. You feel at home and at ease in the world of semi-strangers. By being a courteous, pleasant person to everyone you meet, including people who are of higher or lower status than you or people who are downright rude to you, you rise above one of the common symptoms of our era: entitlement. You will certainly reap more than you sow with this approach... more flies are won with honey than with vinegar, you can depend on it.
For the Situation, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. Not only are you at home and at ease with semi-strangers this week, you are at home with total strangers as well. Once again, your kindness and avoidance of drama is exceedingly rare and valuable in the current flustercluck. Technology tends to bring more gifts than curses over the next period.
For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. There may be drama over the next few weeks, but you bounce back from it and you learn from mistakes rather than dwelling in an negative way. You are slowly learning what the long haul approach looks like: it does take a great deal of listening to the spirit and being patient with yourself, which is always easier said than done.
For your question about why you missed over the last three weeks, my Ogham give you Ngetal or Health ill-dignified. They may be referring to literal bad health on your part or that yes, it isn't healthy to depend on Ogham readings too much -- even I who have direct access to my Ogham and my own system find the Ogham can be wrong every now and then. Overall, they've got a great track record for good advice but nobody is perfect, not even the powers speaking through the Ogham. Add the fact that the oracle (me) is extremely flawed, and even prone to misinterpreting what the Ogham have to say, and any reading is dicey at best. Of course the best remedy is to spend time in discursive meditation about what the Ogham has predicted correctly in your own case.
Best wishes for a happy Solstice, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.
