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:

Re: Week 8
Date: 2023-02-20 03:00 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. It won't be easy to avoid getting riled or upset this week, but if you soldier through this test of your resolve, you will come out of it far more resilient than you went in. That said, beware of false transcendence, which means not admitting to yourself how much something bothers you or refusing to see what needs to be examined on a deep level.
For the Situation, you drew Ioho or Grace well-dignified. This week offers the opportunity to let go and learn from the past rather than clinging to it obstinately and/or wishing for things that are not meant for you in this incarnation.
For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. You see some return on your investments this week. Look for favors returned, generosity mirrored and bounced back, and evidence that your good works are manifesting for yourself and others.

Date: 2023-02-20 03:12 am (UTC)My Ogham predict an overall balanced week for you -- all three cards were well-dignified. That said, I have had imbalanced readings that I was able to overcome and all well-dignified readings on days where lots of crap happened. Basically the all well-dignified reading implies that you are able to overcome the challenges presented to you while remaining your best self.
For the You position, you drew Luis or Protection. The very presence of this card is a "Look Out!" as it is the activated Holy Guardian Angel card. It is also a card of personal growth and spiritual connection. It is a good week to look at your true purpose in this incarnation -- are you going in the direction that you know you must go, sooner or later?
For the Situation, you drew Tinne or Defense. Once again, the presence of this card can easily signify an attack or even physical danger, so be on your guard. This card indicates you have appropriate defenses in place, unlike many people who live their lives immersed in caustic worry without proper justification or the opposite imbalance, which is recklessness and entitlement.
For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy. If you have a bestie or mate, it is likely this relationship will be harmonious this week or that you'll find a middle ground for a problem you've been having. That said, it can also signify the end of a toxic relationship, as essentially it is "good" to rid yourself of poison in your inner circle. More than likely though it speaks of the wisdom of saying just enough and not feeling you owe anyone more information than they absolutely need.

Date: 2023-02-19 12:28 pm (UTC)I am wondering about two things.
First, what does the Ogham say about W and college. Originally your Ogham said to wait. I agree with that, however he seems to be moving forward with his exploration, putting himself under great pressure and becoming very stressed about it. What advice does the Ogham have for him?
What will happen with the girl who lives far away and feels, for the moment, like a perfect match?
Secondly, what does the Ogham say about my job? I am finding it harder and harder to be present and do a good job. Something snapped last month. I do the job, and treat it just like a job. Not much enthusiasm. They want me to record all of my outbound calls-this makes me so uncomfortable because it feels dishonest. What does the Ogham say about my job?
Thank you.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-20 03:27 am (UTC)The Ogham give you some cards in response to your questions.
As for W and college, they suggest seeking out a community, because that is why he is so gung ho about college. They provide Onn or Community, which tells me that his true cravings lie in finding a group of people with whom he can feel he belongs. My Ogham tell me he is an intellectual and that is the reason he must seek out other intellectuals. College is but one place to make that connection -- the Ogham suggest he opens his mind to finding that community beyond the college scene, but if he must go to college, he absolutely should visit as many times as possible before committing to make sure the community meets his needs.
The girl may be The One. The Ogham provide Huath or Obstacles well-dignified, meaning that she is worth the trouble that will inevitably come in order to win her and keep her.
My Ogham think the job is not good right now. You're treading water and at some point you will begin to sink. They provide Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified. This is a card of bad leadership and paths that go nowhere. The Stoic approach is to explore all potential choices relating to your job in meditation from extreme to extreme. One is staying at the job until either you die or the company implodes, whichever comes first. One is quitting tomorrow and becoming homeless. Most of the potentials will lie in between the extremes, and it is in these where you will find your answer and your way out. What would you do if you had no choice but to walk away from the job? What would you do if you were forced to stay in it forever?

Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2023-02-20 03:43 am (UTC)For the You position this week you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. My Ogham seem to think you know what is truly important in this life, and it is this cutting away of the unnecessary that is your greatest strength. Saille also means Flexibility in my system of reading, so the Ogham are saying you know how to bend without breaking.
For the Situation, you drew Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. When you look at what is not going so well right now, you do have some culpability in it. The Ogham aren't saying it is a huge amount or anything, but to some degree your reactions to events could be improved. It is time to start asking yourself questions, mainly how much that is difficult right now can be traced to what you have put in place yourself. Take that which you can control and improve it as much as possible.
For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret ill-dignified. A regret imbalance can swing either way towards too little regret or too much. If you have too much regret, you have to ask yourself "Am I beating myself up because I'd subconsciously rather be miserable than correcting my bad habits and worst modes of thinking?" If you have too little regret, you need to ask "When have I missed cues when other people, situations, or even Nature itself was trying to tell me something, yet I continued on obstinately and blindly?" Ask yourself what your reasons at the time were for ignoring cues and how this sort of thing could be relevant to your current life.

no subject
Date: 2023-02-20 04:02 am (UTC)Thanks for the feedback! Sorry to hear it was so stressful.
For the You position, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. By amplifying your own generosity and appreciation of what you have, you can tamp down the desire to have more than you need. As I often say, the genuinely grateful never have any trouble attracting friends and harmonious relationships, because there is not a person on this Earth that I know of who does not like being recognized and appreciated.
For the Situation, you drew Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified. This can go a couple of ways: either you have an unpleasant realization or someone has that realization about you OR you or they are avoiding said realization that is necessary for personal growth. The best way forward is honesty. Coming out and just saying it may be necessary. It also might be one of those realizations you'd be better off keeping a secret. You will be the judge when it it happens.
For the Outcome, you drew Beith or Intention ill-dignified. This may be one of those weeks where you feel like you have no pep or verve. We all have them! You also may be going in too many directions at once, or may be forced to put the kibosh on a great new thing because you lack the time and/or resources. There are only so many hours in the day and days in the week. Nobody can do it all and you shouldn't expect yourself to.

Date: 2023-02-19 03:08 pm (UTC)Would the Ogham please be so kind as to tell me how March will go for me?
Thank you.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-20 04:11 am (UTC)You drew three cards for March.
For the You position, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. No matter what the dignity, this is one of those cards that can signify danger to you and yours (physical or otherwise) so be on your guard. Safety is one of those things that is extremely easy to get wrong: the person who wears two lifejackets but never bothers to learn how to swim is a good example. You can amass measures of protection all you like (people often do this with money, belongings, or housing) but in the end, it is human connection and your own skills that make you valuable. Real safety is in friendships, relationships, and skills, not in stuff or networks of obligatory and hired acquaintances. In what ways do your relationships and skills keep you genuinely safe?
For the Situation, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. My Ogham seem to think your living situation is rather resilient and built to withstand a great deal of stress. Which of the people around you is the most resilient and in what way? What are good habits they do that could be emulated by you or other people?
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. Being able to bend without breaking is part of the vibe of this card; another essential part of it is knowing what to throw away so you can concentrate on the few things you keep. This is a good month to pare away all that you do not truly love or feel passion about to get to the meat of what you are supposed to do in this incarnation.

Date: 2023-02-19 04:16 pm (UTC)a) I have recently found myself the centre of a labour dispute which seems likely to be unusually messy for a number of reasons. How do your Ogham see this playing out?
b) I've met someone I find quite attractive, and seem to have hit it off well with, but who will be leaving to go home to a different country soon. How do your Ogham think an attempted relationship with her will last? I'm also curious how they see it if we pursue it until she heads home or longer term.
c) Two weeks ago I asked about a job prospect in another country. It has fallen apart, but the company semi-regularly recruits people. Do your Ogham like the prospects if I reapply next time they recruit?
d) I also saw job opportunities in the same field closer to home. What do the Ogham think of pursuing this possibility?
no subject
Date: 2023-02-20 04:24 am (UTC)No trouble.
For A) about the labor dispute, they provide Ailm or Transcendence well-dignified for you in particular. They see you as the one who keeps a cool head and refuses to be dragged down by it, and they see you as winning for this reason, though whether it is in the short or long run, they do not mention.
For B) they don't think it will last. They provide Onn or Community ill-dignified, which is to say that either you would have trouble in her country or she would have trouble with yours as far as assimilation is concerned. They don't see it as wise to pursue: they provide Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified when I ask on your behalf. Of course nobody is ever wise in matters of the heart until all the damage has been done, but they would suggest you both go off to your various destinies without each other and be thankful for the time you had together. As far as my experience goes, there will plenty of opportunities to meet up again both between and in future incarnations.
My Ogham don't care for C) very much. They provide Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified, meaning that opportunities either aren't there or are not worth chasing.
For D) They're not crazy about that field for you. They provide Muin or Harvest ill-dignified, meaning that you could easily realize you're not passionate about that field once it is far too late and you're too embedded in it to leave. Just because you are good at something does not mean that it is good for you.
Money
Date: 2023-02-19 06:47 pm (UTC)The prediction that finances would be an issue as we adjust to our new home is proving to be true.
I would like to ask the Ogham about three possible courses of action: Option A, Option B, and Option C?
Thank you,
-MF
Re: Money
Date: 2023-02-20 04:29 am (UTC)My Ogham say that A) is the worst choice. They provide Koad or Confluence ill-dignified, meaning the timing or some other key factor is off and it does not bode well.
For B) it is better. They provide Nuin or Communication well-dignified. Nuin is help from tech and the world of strangers.
For C) they provide Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. This indicates help from generous people or sources and a good outcome.
Hope this helps you make a good decision!

Date: 2023-02-19 07:08 pm (UTC)Last week's reading was helpful (I asked L, Z, or "neither": the Ogham liked anything but "neither"). Unfortunately, the choice was made for me, and it was "neither", but I think the point was that "neither" was the *poor* choice.
What do the Ogham think of my compatibility with either N or B?
Thank you!

Date: 2023-02-20 04:32 am (UTC)My Ogham like N better than B. For N, they provide Koad or Confluence well-dignified. Right place, right time, right stuff. For B, it's not great. They provide Muin or Harvest ill-dignified, meaning that B may be the victim of their own self-sabotage or that they don't bring out the best in you.

What would the outcome be if I pursued project A?
Thank you for your time.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-20 04:34 am (UTC)My Ogham aren't fans of Project A for you. They provide Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified, meaning that the way is unclear or blocked by someone/something, that it's an ill fit for you, or that it is not worth pursuing.

Date: 2023-02-20 04:52 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you got Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. This is a health card, so when it is ill-dignified you've really got to watch your health and take excellent care of your body. Think of it as a beautiful vintage Cadillac! No filling it with the cheap gas or waiting too many miles to change the oil. In human terms, keep up with your vitamin supplements, mild bouts of exercise, and try to get proper rest and sleep. That said, over-healthing yourself with the latest crazy diet fad is equally as foolish as binge drinking and eating Twinkies/Pop Tarts like it's 1989 again.
For the Situation, you drew Koad or Confluence well-dignified. Koad in this dignity points out your own past good decisions and good works along with good luck that you had nothing to do with. Which factors that make for the best things in your life were your doing and which came via good luck? What can you do to thank the divine for that which you did not bring but was good and showed up on its own?
For the Outcome, you drew Eadha or Limits well-dignified. It's not that your life is some kind of happy free-for-all; it is far from that, but you've learned how to embrace limits and lean into what you have instead of fighting it. This is a good week to look at how you've worked with what you have instead of lusting for what you don't have. What are some current ways you are working with what you have? Is that what most people around you are doing or are you bucking a trend?

Re: What's up this week?
Date: 2023-02-20 05:04 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. This week either pushes you, frustrates you, or an unfortunate mixture of both. If you are pushed, it means that it could be physically or mentally strenuous and exhausting, so be careful and also be decisive when it comes to preserving yourself. Be wary and conservative with your finances. It is also possible that you don't feel up to much this week, or that you want what isn't meant for you at this time.
For the Situation, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. You or someone close to you may be oversensitive this week, amassing mental and physical clutter, or feeling raw and vulnerable. There is also a similar yet opposite imbalance of stomping through life like a bull in a china shop, and again because this is Situation, it could be referring to someone close to you being unhelpful and self-centered.
For the Outcome, you drew Duir or Gifts well-dignified. Obstacles are overcome this week with love, kindness, and thankfulness for what you have. The way we react is always a choice, and that is what makes life so difficult as we are each confronted with millions of tiny choices every day that build up and become our character. By making seemingly insignificant choices in the direction of generosity and giving others the benefit of the doubt, you make a character and a destiny.

Date: 2023-02-19 10:08 pm (UTC)2. Is there any deity I should pray to at this time?
Thanks,
Todd
no subject
Date: 2023-02-20 05:18 am (UTC)2. Between my Ogham and my Tarot, they suggest praying to both Aphrodite and Ares. To propitiate to Aphrodite, I suggest thanking inanimate objects for their service (spirit of place worship) and putting some time into learning a domestic craft such as cooking, cleaning, gardening, antique restoration, etc. To propitiate to Ares, discursive meditation on some of your worst mistakes in life and firm resolutions to not do those things anymore are appropriate. Prayer is great but it is concrete action towards self-improvement that actually gets their attention in my humble opinion.
Getting Put Back Together
Date: 2023-02-19 11:49 pm (UTC)Husband survived a perfect storm of asymptomatic 'rona, viral pneumonia which showed up at the same time, which caused a plunge in his sodium level, causing a seizure which resulted in numerous broken bones and an almost 2 week stay in the hospital.
He's making good progress healing, but it's still a long road yet. What might the Ogham advise about what he needs to do in order to regain his health? And in order to maintain his health?
Also, just out of curiosity, was his overall good health what prevented him from dying this time? It sure looked like a close call.
Thanks!
Valerie
Re: Getting Put Back Together
Date: 2023-02-20 05:28 am (UTC)As far as maintaining his health, they indicate he is going to have to eliminate that which is not serving him. This could mean that he has to give up unhealthy food and habits. They provide Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified, which means he could even be allergic to lots of foods and medications and should ask a competent doctor or naturopath to help him figure this out.
They don't want to answer your third question. They provide Ruis or Regret ill-dignified, which I take to mean that his business is not finished in this incarnation as far as the divine is concerned and they have their own reasons for keeping him here.

Date: 2023-02-20 05:34 am (UTC)My Ogham seem to think it could be a bit of a doozy: all three cards were ill-dignified. That said, forewarned is often forearmed, so hopefully you'll be able to head off any imbalance off at the pass.
For the You position, you drew Muin or Harvest. Ill-dignified, it means that your expectations aren't in line with reality and that you need to take a step back and accept that you may be disappointed. If you are prone to the psychology of previous investment (and I believe all of us are) then you should take a hard look at yourself for self-defeating behavior and reshape yourself in a different mold.
For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. This one can actually be good. At its worst, Uilleand talks about being molly coddled or spoiled by someone, and yes, this person isn't necessarily your parent. You could also be the molly-coddler/spoiler. Since it is Situation, this could also be talking about someone close to you. Uilleand can also be positive when ill-dignified in the sense that it is an overflow of generosity coming to you or going out of you. If it is the latter, you can count on your excessive generosity being repaid to you 7x because that is part of natural law. The truly generous always receive far more than they give, and that's why Jesus was poor yet managed to sublimate himself into being a god for all eternity.
For the Outcome or Karma card, you got Ailm or Transcendence. When ill-dignified, this card often talks about feeling dragged down, depressed, and low. That said, the opposite imbalance of false transcendence is just as bad. In that case, it means insisting that you're TOTALLY OK when you're actually papering over your problems and those of others. Honesty is a much better policy, even if it is only something you keep to yourself.

Date: 2023-02-20 01:23 am (UTC)The trip went well, not sure if between the purchased insurance, and the subsequent checkmarks in my reservation profile, or my arrival early at the ticket counters, but I had a long but smooth journey. I recognized there were potential sticking points, but these rolled over smoothly. In sum, I managed to complete everything I set out to do, and left enough ingredients to start the journey to complete stretch goals.
I would like to know what the Ogham wants me to know for this week.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-20 05:46 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three ill-dignified cards this week. Hopefully this gives you the foreknowledge you need to perceive and correct imbalances before they happen.
For the You position, you drew Koad or Confluence. To some degree, you must lie in the bed that you made. Taking responsibility for what isn't going well is how you will learn and grow. That said, it isn't all you by any means and you shouldn't blame yourself for what you never owned and cannot change.
For the Situation, you drew Quert or Delight. This one means that you could be surrounded by ingrates, and that's pretty much not something we need the Ogham to predict because ungratefulness is the primary malady of our time. Just because everyone else takes all the good parts of life for granted does not mean you have to jump off the same cliff. Take the time to appreciate little things no matter how weird this makes you look to others. It's the secret key to happiness and they're the ones missing out.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity. The Ogham can be very blunt: you need to minimize. Stuff, relationships, hobbies, all of it. You need to narrow it down so you can have what you truly desire in life. Ask yourself what you can do without from the largest down to the smallest thing. Once you've got it sorted, start the long process of leaving certain things, people, places, and dreams behind so you can focus on what you truly love. It won't be easy by any stretch of the imagination, but you won't be sorry.
