Hi Everyone,
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.
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. If you'd like to make a donation, I would be grateful if you did it here:

Your prayers to the deity/deities of your choice are welcome whether or not you can donate.
Reading requests are closed for the week of January 29 -- please be patient as it can take me anywhere from 4-48 hours to get to any given reading. Thank you and see you next week!

Date: 2023-01-29 10:48 pm (UTC)Overall, your week looks balanced. All three cards were well-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Fearn or Guidance. You act as a guiding light for others and you find guiding light in them this week. Fearn, when balanced, remarks on the ability to salvage and amplify the good even from lousy sources or people. This week has you building upon the things that lead to your fulfillment and grace and leaving behind what is past its prime and no longer meant to be.
For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection. As this is the activated card of the Holy Guardian Angel, I would be remiss if I did not warn of physical danger, as this card can be talking about danger on every level whether it is ill- or well-dignified. That said, this week presents an opportunity to get to know your higher self and because it is Situation, may be talking about those close to you being in touch with their higher selves.
For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching. This week may bring an opportunity to learn from a master and/or share your own mastery with people who actually appreciate the teachings. Phagos is also in line with Fearn in saying you divine the lesson out of everyday situations by sussing them out and giving them a thorough treatment of careful thought in your mind.

Date: 2023-01-29 11:00 pm (UTC)You drew three cards for this week.
For the You position, you drew Gort or Perseverance well-dignified. This week you have the opportunity to observe important leitmotifs that the Ogham are pointing to as the Great Work. In my case, it's a Great deal of Work for me to bring the Orphic hymns back into common circulation, and it seems it is my task in this incarnation as a music nerd to do that. Some of the not-so-obvious Great Works on my part have to do with personal stuff -- as is the case with most of us. This week, some key factors in your life point to you the lessons you have been tasked with learning this incarnation. They recur like dreams for a reason. It is a good idea to meditate on them and to observe your progression so far.
For the Situation, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. Since Situation is the card of what the world imposes upon you, I would expect some strain or annoyance this week. You could end up overworked. Maybe people are expecting too much from you. The Ogham could be warning you to not make promises you cannot keep, so before committing, figure out if the thing in question is worth it if it goes badly.
For the Outcome, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. Good stuff comes from the world of tech and strangers this week. Camaraderie and connection with those you either don't know or barely know is a distinct possibility, as is communication with people far away. As much as I disparage tech sometimes, I have it to thank for this blog and its following. Perhaps the way to defeat the inherent evil of advancing AI is to constantly bless it.

Date: 2023-01-29 01:07 pm (UTC)Thank you for moving your donation program away from Paypal! We quit some time ago.
I am wondering if the Ogham can advise a few things for me:
I have been in a state of panic and disappointment with all that is happening with the our slow collapse. This is happening as my son is looking at going to college.
1. What do they say about him going to college? Will he be safe there? (We won't go to any school that mandates the quaxx. He has been offered full scholarships in New York and he refuses to go to a state that doesn't have a law against mandates). We will file a religious exemption in a Southern state.
2. I have lost all energy for my job. I am flat. Why has this happened? Will it improve?
Thank you for your guidance. It is always quite helpful!

Date: 2023-01-29 11:12 pm (UTC)Ay yi yi, my Ogham don't like college for your dear boy, at least not this year. They provide Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified, which indicates that he will not find the kind of education he wants in college at this time. I know it probably feels that he should "strike while the iron is hot" because of the scholarships, but if he can take a bit of a detour/recess/road not taken for a little while, my Ogham feel it would be greatly to his advantage. For whatever reason, the Larry character from W. Somerset Maugham's The Razor's Edge keeps popping into my brain. Things that make you go hmmmmm....
As to the loss of energy for your job, my Ogham provide Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified, which points to a realization that you've had, are currently having, or about to have that is fairly devastating. This realization is being presented to you by Spirit as a lesson, so definitely meditate on it.
For your "Will it improve?" My Ogham say Yes. They provide Straif or Resilience well-dignified. By focusing on resilience, you'll find your way out of this mess. Your not-so-easy task is to focus on the goodness of your job, the fact it provides as much as it does. If it truly is not for you anymore, then you need to use it in order to change to something else and be grateful in the meantime that it has given you the opportunity to move on.

Date: 2023-01-29 11:26 pm (UTC)For the You position, they provide Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. If you have a beloved mate, this relationship shows signs of being beneficial and harmonious. If you don't, Ur points to being happy and content in your own skin. Ur talks about being good at keeping secrets, which is actually the secret to successful human relationships of every kind.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. Though there may be depression and pain, you muddle through and you feel a new light shining through the murk. You treat people as you would wish to be treated and generally rise above the current astral morass.
For the Outcome, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. If you have a tendency to overindulge (before I was vegan, I had a Nutella problem) then it may rear its ugly head. Remember not to react with self-punishment; just like diets, it never works. Moderation, just as Apollo said, is your best bet. You may be tempted to be short or grumpy with others -- rein it in. You may also be tempted to be overly parsimonious or stingy in some areas and spendthrift in others. Again, rein it in and practice moderation.

Date: 2023-01-29 02:51 pm (UTC)Thank you yet again for this service.
I have two questions, but if you want me to save the second one until next week, I will.
First, may I please have a general reading for February?
Second, what does your Ogham think of N., and her take on things, and the advice she's given me? (Hopefully your Ogham knows what I'm talking about!)
Thanks so much,
Jan

Date: 2023-01-30 12:07 am (UTC)You drew three cards for February.
For the You position, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. You are likely to use the past in the most constructive way possible, which means learning from old mistakes and avoiding new ones. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure.
For the Situation, you drew Fearn or Guidance ill-dignified. This points to irreconcilable differences and the inability to negotiate or converse with people you disagree with. Because it is in Situation, it is most likely as much or more on their side than yours. In your own case, be open-minded about disagreeable opinions, because that creates the karma of being able to communicate and work with sources with which you sometimes disagree.
For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. This card is a warning to find a balance between forceful and reticent energies. Too much force and you wreck everything like a bull in a china shop. Too little and you get washed out by the tide. Subtlety is in order here. Put as much thought into it as you can possibly afford before making a choice, and don't look for a fight, but don't be afraid of one either.

Date: 2023-01-30 12:13 am (UTC)My Ogham don't care for her too much and they give her Nuin or Communication ill-dignified. One of her preoccupations is worldliness, and this urge of hers to appear large and in charge makes her clueless in ways she cannot begin to understand.
For her take on things, my Ogham think she's largely correct. They provide Tinne or Defense, meaning that she is seeing an accurate picture of reality here.
For her advice, the Ogham don't care for it much. They provide Saille or Sensitivity, meaning that she doesn't know enough to make an informed decision. That's not her fault -- the Ogham say you are the one who needs to stand on your own two feet, you need to think it out, and you need to be the master of your thoughts and emotions on it.

Date: 2023-01-29 04:10 pm (UTC)1. What should I know to make the best of this coming week?
2. I would like to thank “Mr. S” for help they gave me recently. What does your Ogham recommend as the best means to show gratitude and give thanks to “Mr. S?”
Thanks!
no subject
Date: 2023-01-30 03:03 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ioho or Grace/Rest well-dignified. This week sees you putting things that are not meant for you or things that you must give up out to pasture. Being able to walk away and/or accept change takes a great deal of inner strength.
For the Situation, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. Though you may be prone to grace and acceptance this week, others or your environment or both may end up fighting you on it or at very least getting in your way. Saille, when ill-dignified, means clinging to old stuff in the literal and metaphoric sense of the term. The other warning the Ogham may be attempting to give here is insensitivity -- be a good listener this week and do your best not to lead others to your own unexamined conclusions and desires.
For the Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. You may be tempted to say more than needed this week: observe Eliphas Levi's fourth rule and know when to zip it. Alternately, you may have to suffer a foolish person (or someone acting the fool for the time being) and jumping in will be tempting: don't. It's not worth it. There is also the possibility of frustration with what you don't know, such as speculations about the future.
As to Mr. S, they give Luis or Protection ill-dignified, which means if you thank him, you should do it unostentatiously and quietly. Understated is the name of the game here.

Strategizing for February
Date: 2023-01-29 08:29 pm (UTC)I'd like to ask you and your Ogham for guidance about my February. How can I best direct my efforts and energies this month?
Thank you!
Jonathan.
Re: Strategizing for February
Date: 2023-01-30 03:18 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. There may be a temptation to say too much and end up looking or acting foolish -- bite your tongue and say less than necessary. If you have a bestie or mate, relations may be strained this week. Much of good human relationships are about what you don't say. I can confidently assert that rigorously editing my speech and curating the tenor and motifs of what I say depending on the person has immensely improved my human relationships. Quality over quantity.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. Ailm may point to feeling depressed or frustrated, and in this case, it may be tempting to sink into low behavior. Don't feed the trolls -- they hate being ignored more than anything else and I wish I had figured that out as a younger woman. On the other side of an Ailm imbalance is false transcendence, and as this is in Situation, watch out for this either as a force affecting you indirectly (for instance, you having to suffer someone who is falsely transcendent) or directly where you are the one acting brightsided. By "brightsided", I mean a tendency to gloss over real problems and adopting a toxic "I'm OK, you're OK" attitude.
For the Outcome, you drew Quert or Delight well-dignified. This month offers an opportunity to open yourself up to the energy of gratitude. When you are genuinely grateful everyday, it sublimates (makes sublime/heavenly) everything you touch. Gratitude is the true Midas touch, but instead of turning everything into gold, it creates the recognition of the spirit in the material world. Even when you think nobody is watching, when you are grateful, it is a kind of magic that transforms your world for the better. What's funny is there are so many books advising how to win friends and influence people, but if you actually want to do that in a way that lasts (well beyond you, I would argue) all you have to do is be genuinely grateful in your heart of hearts. Easier said than done, I suppose.

Date: 2023-01-29 08:59 pm (UTC)I was wondering what your Ogham have to say about an interesting encounter I had with a molting scorpion yesterday. I took it to be a positive thing.
And my situation with M. Can they see if it is affirmative or negative?
Thanks in advance!
Kevin
no subject
Date: 2023-01-30 03:25 am (UTC)As to the scorpion, my Ogham provide Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified, which means the scorpion should make you think about the lesson of transcendence via the way the scorpion sheds their skin, i.e. it does not look like a fun process for them and it leaves an exact cast of their body behind that eventually rots away.
For the situation with M, they see it a bit negatively. They give you Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified, meaning that it's messy and/or that M has trouble with astral and/or physical health.

Date: 2023-01-29 09:10 pm (UTC)I'm waiting/trying for an important situation in my personal life to manifest.
Given the different ways it could, which will most likely lead to the desired outcome: A, B, or C?
This will help me direct my efforts.
Thanks,

no subject
Date: 2023-01-30 03:31 am (UTC)My Ogham like A and C and not so much B.
For A, they provide Ruis or Regret well-dignified, which is to say you'll have no regrets with A.
For B, they give Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified, which means B won't be sustainable long term.
For C, they provide Phagos or Teaching, meaning gnosis or true wisdom. C would be the hardest work but very much worth it.

Re: Week 5
Date: 2023-01-30 03:39 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Onn or Community ill-dignified. This week may have you feeling like a square peg in a round hole. It is possible that someone in the community may take issue with you, or you could find a generalized rudeness/coldness in your local interactions. Don't let that sort of treatment get you down, and don't bother strengthening it by reacting to it.
For the Situation, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. There is the temptation to say too much and prove you don't know much, so keep your mouth shut and leave them to wonder. You may be frustrated by your lack of knowledge. Worst case scenario is that you may have to suffer with someone who at least temporarily presumes his or her ignorance is better than your knowledge.
For the Outcome, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. This week gives you the opportunity to understand how generosity begets generosity (and unfortunately how stinginess begets stinginess and profligacy begets profligacy). When you give of your heart, and this includes far more than physical gifts, it results in those gifts coming back to you in greater proportion than they left.
A request
Date: 2023-01-29 09:52 pm (UTC)There's something I've been asking my wife for. Will it happen and on what time frame?

Date: 2023-01-29 11:22 pm (UTC)Could I get a reading on three options I see available for doing something important to me: Options A, B, or C?
Second, what do I most need to know about the week ahead?
no subject
Date: 2023-01-30 03:58 am (UTC)My Ogham only like A for you. They provide Fearn or Bridge well-dignified for A. For B, they provide Koad or Confluence ill-dignified and for C, it's the worst of all with Luis or Protection ill-dignified. Hope this helps.
For your week, they provide three cards.
For the You position, they provide Uilleand or Generosity. This is a good week to watch generosity in action -- notice that true acts of generosity not only come back to the sender in various forms, they elevate him or her with a kind of power. Contrarily, notice how people who are stingy may be able to hold on to money, but true friends and allies? Yeah, not so much.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. You do a good job of keeping your head up above the current of astral crap we all find ourselves submerged in these days, present company very much included. This week offers the lesson of why you don't feed trolls, and why hating a thing does not make it any weaker.
For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. The challenges this week are not to be met with excessive force, as any excessive force used will result in almost immediate, whiplash-style, exploding dumpster karma. Likewise, don't shrink away if you are presented with an unpleasant scene. Rise and be your best self, even if it is excruciating and means you have to be Boy Scout brave.
Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2023-01-30 12:41 am (UTC)Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2023-01-30 04:10 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified. No matter what life throws at you this week, you make the best out of it. Making do with what you're given is actually a rare skill these days, and in doing so you demonstrate gratitude to the divine.
For the Situation, you drew Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. Mór in this dignity talks about a trashy collective astral milieu you can do nothing about. So if sleep for you or your loved ones is troubled or there seems to be a foul air despite nothing being wrong and your own decent mood, this is why.
For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience ill-dignified. I often draw this one when money is tight or when I should be watching my bank account, so be diligent about that sort of stuff this week. Another possibility is you're tempted to be sucked into paranoia about the future -- in this case, let God handle it!
Job Search
Date: 2023-01-30 01:48 am (UTC)I would like to ask the Ogham if my husband's job search will result in full time employment before the end of February?
Thank you,
-MF
Re: Job Search
Date: 2023-01-30 04:15 am (UTC)They provide Onn or Community ill-dignified, which points to him not having the connections it takes to get into the kind of employment he desires.

Date: 2023-01-30 01:52 am (UTC)Feedback on last week's reading (Tinne well-dig, Quert ill-dig, Saille ill-dig): The other day I found a button cell battery on the floor. If the baby had found it first and eaten it she could have died before we ever knew what had happened. (https://healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/at-home/Pages/Button-Battery-Injuries-in-Children-A-Growing-Risk.aspx) I didn't even know we'd ever had anything that used that size of battery. I still have no idea where it came from. So I guess they were right about danger! The battery also ISTM fits your interpretation of Saille as clutter.
So what's up for me and my family this week?
Thanks!

Date: 2023-01-30 04:23 am (UTC)Yikes! Glad the baby (and everybody else) is OK.
You and the fam drew three cards this week.
For the most immediate position, you got Luis or Protection well-dignified. This card is not unlike Tinne, meaning that even well-dignified it can indicate danger. Keep a watchful eye on baby and everyone else.
For the Situation, you drew Duir or Generosity ill-dignified. This week may see a generous gift given or received by you. If it is given, you can expect the goodness of that gift to come back to you seven times over. If it is received, do your best to pay it forward as soon as possible.
For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. You connect with your local community this week and interactions are likely to be friendly. With any luck, semi-strangers may draw closer as friends. This week offers a chance to witness why civil, harmonious community-type human relationships are so desperately important on every level.
