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 can donate.
__________________________________________________________________
Ogham reading requests are closed for March 5, 2023. Please be patient as it can take anywhere from 4-48 hours for me to get to all of the readings. Thank you and have a blessed week!

Date: 2023-03-06 12:23 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. Nuin means good things from the world of strangers, so this indicates it is a good week to be outgoing, gregarious, and direct. Some weeks are for laying low, but this is not one of them. This is a good week to use and learn new (to you) technology.
For the Situation position, you drew Oír or Epiphany well-dignified. Get the journal ready because this week will most likely feature some insights you'll want to write down. This is not to say that epiphanies are not painful, even well-dignified ones, but the one thing that is always true is they are long-term helpful.
For the Outcome, you drew Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. Through no fault of your own, your general astral surroundings are set to "garbage dump". One group of symptoms when you are amid an astral trash heap is people are at their most asinine, panicked, grumpy, depressed, and reckless. There is nothing you did to cause this and nothing you can do to fix it, just be ready to steer clear of potential messes and be prepared to invoke a great deal of patience in yourself.
Relationship
Date: 2023-03-05 07:43 am (UTC)You did a very good reading for me in the midst of COVID. I managed to keep my daughter unvaccinated and keep my job. Your reading gave me strength
What advice can the ogham give me about my relationship?
Many thanks
Re: Relationship
Date: 2023-03-06 12:40 am (UTC)You drew three cards in regards to your relationship.
For the You position, you drew Duir or Gifts well-dignified. Overall, you bring a lot to the table of this relationship and you do it without expectation of return. Your generous nature and willingness to share your blessings are one of the rocks upon which the relationship is built. This relationship is very solid, from what the Ogham tell me.
For the other person, represented by the second card (usually Situation but in this reading I take it to mean the person with whom you have the relationship) you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. The person we are talking about here knows how to move with the times, dodging obstacles but also being ready for them because one stall full of prevention is better than a stableful of cures. The Ogham see well-made preparations and thoughtfulness about the future in this person. This person's imbalances, if any, may lean towards worrying excessively about some things and then accidentally allowing true dangers to slip under the radar.
For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret ill-dignified. This means the main problem is thinking about past (or not thinking enough about it) in a non-constructive way. We don't want to forget or gloss over the past, especially not if there are still destructive behaviors in place or trauma that still needs to be processed and dealt with. Like the broken record I am, I am going to suggest lots of discursive meditation so you can speak with insight about regrets. If there is a fixation with blame where the past is concerned, I find it best to meditate on my own shadows and just how many of them I am projecting, but I am always wary of using myself as a scapegoat or being framed as "the one to blame". We must acknowledge how the ones we love project their shadows upon us -- humans do that unless they are saints! As far as my own crap, I make a firm resolution of I don't do that anymore and I use that as a thrust block to move on.
Re: Relationship
Date: 2023-03-08 05:36 am (UTC)Week 10
Date: 2023-03-05 08:53 am (UTC)If I may ask a few questions this week:
1. What do I need to know in order to make the best out of this week?
2. I will attend a mini-family reunion later this March; does the Ogham have any warnings or caution statements for me, or can I just enjoy without worry?
3. May the Ogham comment on my current bachelorhood? I am not sure if I'm getting into Which-came-first-the-chicken-or-the-egg territory, but over the years, I've come to the conclusion that I was not meant to be in a monogamous relationship in this incarnation. I guess I'm hoping that the Ogham will basically tell me either "Good, it wasn't in the cards anyway" or "Too bad, you didn't give someone a chance."
And a general non-Ogham question: How long are your Open Posts open for? I had assumed just a week, but I would like to make sure.
Thanks!

Re: Week 10
Date: 2023-03-06 01:05 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week. It looks like it is going to be a week where you are very even-tempered and generally happy: all three cards were well-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Eadha or Limits. You are making strides in learning to work within your own limits and the limits of the world in which you are incarnated. This may seem bland on the surface, but it is actually quite powerful. Only once you have figured out what you are not good at and what you don't feel all that strongly about can you pour yourself into what you will become great at and what truly ignites your passion. This week, you inch a bit closer to your true purpose in this lifetime.
For the Situation, you drew Straif or Resilience. There may be some drama this week, but it is nothing you cannot handle. Most preparation is mental, not material. For instance, let's take the tale of two preppers. One moves out into the wilderness to a doomstead and chucks his amazing salary to do it. Fewer than 10 years later, he is forced to move back to the suburbs to barely scrape by on minimum wage. The second prepper tamps down his apocalypse-tomorrow instinct and focuses on making his suburban house into a mini-homestead. He makes friends with his neighbors and learns how to make pickles and sauerkraut while fixing up his own home. He loses his salary job due to layoffs but by the time he does, he has several sources of side income and good enough relationships/homesteading to muddle through. You can guess that the second prepper ends up far better off.
For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret. You are learning from your mistakes without dwelling on them in a toxic way, and that makes this a good week to journal about it and to write down key insights about your meditations. These will go a long way in healing you as only you truly know your past enough to make those kinds of judgements about it.
For the family gathering, they give you Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. They don't care for this gathering for some reason -- it could be that you might not be feeling up to it or that someone at it is a jerk, or it could be that it does not go off as planned. Be prepared for either it to be cancelled or for you not to be able to make it and mentally plan the "just in case" scenarios. Also prepare for someone or more than one person at the reunion to behave like an ass, or for one of those "Aren't I great" insufferable person who low-key brags about how special and exceptional they or their children are the whole time.
My Ogham say that your bachelorhood is something that was meant to be. They provide Onn or Community well-dignified, meaning that your community is not conducive to pairing off with someone. There is simply nobody in your surrounding community who is interested. If you do ever meet The One, there is a high likelihood you will have to move in order to be with that person.

Date: 2023-03-05 01:14 pm (UTC)To follow up on the Ogham reading from a little while back - I asked if I'd offended Venus, your Ogham said yes, and that learning to make wine or beer and dedicating the results to her would be a way to make amends.
I now have a fermentation kit, and I've made an order on some raw wildflower honey to start brewing mead. I've also started a round of planetary charity to affirm my commitment to repairing my relationship with her.
Could you ask to check that I'm moving in the right direction here?
Thanks!
Luke

What will the outcome be of Situation A?
Thank you for your time.
no subject
Date: 2023-03-06 01:12 am (UTC)My Ogham give you a bit of a mysterious answer. They provide Duir or Gifts ill-dignified, and this can mean quite a few things. The first and most basic possibility is that the gift is not appreciated properly and that privilege is taken for granted. The gift (or the person's gifts in the sense of talents, time, resources, and skills) may be squandered or wasted on the unappreciative.
The second possibility is that the gift is appreciated but it comes at great expense from the overly generous one who gave it. The gift will return with seven times the force in which it was given, so that is all good for the giver in question.

You drew three cards this week. For the You position, you drew Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. This week features an element of crapshow. Things feeling not right or straight up not going well. Risks and near-misses. Since you do have some limited part in what made all of this happen, you have some limited control and can do your best to make lemonade with the lemons you are being handed this week.
For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. There is a chance that you are overdoing it with someone or they are overdoing it with you: too many gifts, too much attention, and potential molly-coddling. If this is the case, back off, cool your jets, or gently tell them to do the same. There is also a possibility of being given great gifts or doing the same sort of charity for someone else, and in that case, it is a good outcome because the gifts promote the beneficial energy of generosity.
For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. Good things come from the world of semi-strangers. The kindness you spread around is given right back to you and rather quickly. It is a good week for semi-strangers to turn into allies and even the possibility of them becoming friends.

no subject
Date: 2023-03-06 01:44 am (UTC)Yes it does! We are still in the slow-awakening phase here in northern Illinois.
You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Gort or Perseverance well-dignified. Though you may be tested this week, you truly are strong and it takes a hell of a lot to wear you down. The Ogham give you kudos for your steadfastness and dedication.
For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. You or someone you love could be in literal physical danger this week, so I would be remiss if I did not warn you of the possibility. More likely is that you or someone close to you has to deal with a big mess or is not feeling well. You may end up having or getting the nasty flu that's been going around. My husband has it right now... he's suffering! Poor guy. The flu du jour is trying to get through my wall of supplements, exercise, and clean living. We will see who wins.
For the Outcome or Karma, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. It will be tempting to sink down to the level that almost everybody is prone to lately, which is low astral crud. Don't let the turkeys get you down. Stay on the high road and don't feel bad about it. That said, be aware of false transcendence. It is OK not to be on top and not to need to be on top.
Cleaning
Date: 2023-03-05 08:13 pm (UTC)Work on the house continues. The Ogham was right about Ngetal. I will not share the gruesome details, but I will say that this place requires much more attention than anticipated. On that note I would like to ask the Ogham:
1) is the issue in the attic resolved?
2) will my insulation plan prove to be a good choice?
3) can the tree wait until this fall?
Thank you,
-MF
Re: Cleaning
Date: 2023-03-06 01:50 am (UTC)I so feel you on that! My husband and I have learned to say of our little, hundred-something year old house: It's a piece of s**t, but it's OUR piece of s**t. Did I mention it was formerly owned by hoarders going through a horrible divorce? We still find unpleasant surprises 7 years after moving in, and they usually have to do with botched electrical wiring or plumbing. Yeah.
My Ogham have three answers for you.
1) Sadly, no. They give Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. You might try some natural remedial magic up there. Every little bit helps.
2) Yes, it was a good choice. They give Fearn or Bridge well-dignified, meaning it will be sturdy and it will get you through the crazy weather.
3) Another no. My Ogham give Nuin or Communication ill-dignified, which means you ought to talk to the tree and then try to get something done about it ASAP.
Re: Cleaning
Date: 2023-03-06 11:12 pm (UTC)How do I talk to a tree about that?
Re: Cleaning
Date: 2023-03-07 05:48 am (UTC)To talk to the tree, stand with your back leaning against it. Explain to it (mentally) that you don't want to harm it but you have no choice because of the electrical situation. Thank it for its gifts and wish it well in its afterlives.
Ogham question
Date: 2023-03-05 09:27 pm (UTC)I'm the HS teacher from last time. Your reading last week was on-target. I did get some drama towards the end of the week, but nothing I couldn't handle.
This week is the last week before Spring Break. How about this week? Anything to keep an eye out for?
Thanks!
Re: Ogham question
Date: 2023-03-06 03:01 am (UTC)Thanks for the feedback! Glad the Ogham and I could help.
You drew three cards for this week, all well-dignified. This does not ensure a perfect week (I have had WAY less than perfect days on all well-dig readings) but it does mean that you are likely to handle whatever comes with dignity, maturity, and dare I say panache.
For the You position, you drew Tinne or Defense. The very presence of this card can signify physical danger, so I would be remiss if I did not warn you ahead of time to keep your wits about you and don't take any necessary risks. That said, this is more likely talking about you being in a balanced place about both your sense of self and your own limits are concerned. Forces may push and pull at you but you are very good at flicking away barbs and preventing trouble.
For the Situation, you drew Ruis or Regret. There is a good side to regret, for sure. I believe the whole point of incarnation is so we humans learn to stop doing behaviors we will later regret, whether that is overcoming a severe addiction or learning how to make someone feel loved, even during a time they don't technically deserve it. This is a good week to do some meditation on your own regrets, and times when you have been helped or hindered by them.
For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection. This is yet another potential danger card even when well-dignified. With the warning out of the way, it usually means the outreach of your Holy Guardian Angel. He/she/it wants to communicate with you and give you advice if you are willing to listen this week. I won't go into detail, but my HGA gave me an insight today while I was walking in the forest preserve. I am already finding it helpful. Being in touch with your HGA is like having access to a Carl Jung-level therapist who knows exactly what you need to grow as a person.
Re: Ogham question
Date: 2023-03-06 03:15 am (UTC)I am not quite sure I know what you mean for the Outcome. How would I go about contacting my holy guardian angel?
Thanks!

Date: 2023-03-05 10:33 pm (UTC)Does your ogham have any advice about what should I do about R. and our weird inability to discuss you-know-what? Should I ask, try to bring it up in an oblique way, or just accept that we don't every talk about our disagreement over the covid response? (We used to argue, now we avoid the topic like the plague (a real one), and it's awkward.) Does your ogham have any advice for handling this situation?
Thanks for all you do.

Date: 2023-03-06 12:03 am (UTC)Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2023-03-06 03:28 am (UTC)For the You position, you drew Oír or Epiphany. You are being guided whether or not you are sensitive enough to communicate with your guide. This is a great week to take a bird's eye view of your life so far and to look at it as if you were a divine mentor. What do you think the divine mentor said in the past? Did you listen? What is he or she trying to say now?
For the Situation, you drew Muin or Harvest. If you look closely, you are seeing return on investment. Return on investment isn't literally about treasury bonds and real estate. That is the materialist outlook and it only captures a tiny part of the picture. What and who did you invest in that got you to this place? What did you have to give up and walk away from? What were the things you could have had and what cost would they have been to your soul?
For the Outcome, you drew Gort or Perseverance. Perseverance is difficult to invoke when you've been suffering for a while but this is my Ogham saying you must stick it out. It is OK to feel like giving up though, just acknowledge the slog and move on.
no subject
Date: 2023-03-06 12:57 am (UTC)a) Am I on the right track with a hypothesis I'm formulating?
b) I've already started to share it, and would like to know what your ogham think of sharing it further.
no subject
Date: 2023-03-06 03:39 am (UTC)For B) they say walk it back. They provide Nuin or Communication ill-dignified, meaning that either nobody is listening or that it won't be used well.
Pharm medicine
Date: 2023-03-06 01:30 am (UTC)Does the Ogham have any insights about it and will some of my symptoms, like aches and pains and low energy, clear up with this treatment?
Annette
Re: Pharm medicine
Date: 2023-03-06 01:51 am (UTC)I really cannot do health questions and answers here. Sometimes I am very tempted but my Ogham always warn me not to do it.

Date: 2023-03-06 02:07 am (UTC)Annette
Re: Pharm medicine
Date: 2023-03-06 03:52 am (UTC)Instead of answering your pharm question, the Ogham provide a classic three card reading for your week.
For the You position, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. Give yourself a pat on the back, because you deserve it for overcoming much of your worst traits. Of course you are not perfect, but you really should give credit where credit is due. It is a good week to reflect on the bad things you don't do anymore and look at how that has shaped your life for the better.
For the Situation, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. This week may be a bit of a slog for you or someone close to you or both. The danger here is in taking goodness in your life for granted and either rushing through or being too down to notice it. Take time to sublimate those seemingly little things by thanking them -- the Great Spirit notices those tiny actions and they become destiny just as all matters of character become destiny.
For the Outcome, you drew Oír or Epiphany well-dignified. There is a potentially painful but much-needed realization this week, and your goal should be to record it and meditate upon it to unfold its meaning.

Date: 2023-03-06 01:49 am (UTC)Could you give me a heads up for this week
Punky
no subject
Date: 2023-03-06 04:04 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. This week offers a chance to use and perhaps share your unique wisdom. It is my belief that every human on this planet has at least one special skill or talent and it is our arduous task to find out what that is and how we can use it to become better people. This is a good week to reflect on the interests and passions you've had in life, including ones you've felt forced to leave behind.
For the Situation, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. Protection is the card of the Holy Guardian Angel and if the HGA is active, it could mean physical danger despite the card being well-dignified, so be aware and don't take any unnecessary risks. More generally, your HGA is reaching out to you and as I said to Anon the teacher in one of the above threads, the best way of communicating clearly with your HGA is daily, relentless discursive meditation of the sort I describe in this essay on discursive meditation: https://kimberlysteele.dreamwidth.org/4166.html
For the Outcome, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. This may be a super-busy week or one of those weeks you have to deal with someone who is being rude or unpleasant. There is also the possibility that you have a hard time getting to a place of feeling gratitude. The Ogham suggest cultivating gratitude for seemingly tiny things, such as clean, potable water to drink and shoes on your feet. It is this sort of gratitude that most of the humans on this planet are missing right now.

Date: 2023-03-06 01:50 am (UTC)Feedback on last week's reading: Interesting how we got Ngetal well-dignified in the You position--we came down with a cold! Doesn't seem like a bad one, though.
So what's up for me and my family this week?
Thanks!
-PW
no subject
Date: 2023-03-06 04:11 am (UTC)Thanks for the feedback! You and the fam drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Onn or Community ill-dignified. There is a good chance of friction in the community of semi-strangers. Another possibility is the feeling of being a square peg in a round hole, or unable to get the help and support you need/deserve. The Ogham basically tell you to gird up your loins and hope for the best while preparing for the worst.
For the Situation, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. Huath in any dignity can indicate physical danger, so be on your guard. Huath can also mean the attempt to be too forceful or to apply too much energy. Oppositely, the imbalance could be a lack of energy or running away. Whatever the obstacle in question is, it is going to take grace and finesse to get the approach right.
For the Outcome, you drew Oír or Epiphany well-dignified. One or more of you will have a needed realization that sheds light on a previously dark subject. This does not mean that it is a bed of roses from then on, but it is highly necessary and will help you to grow.

Date: 2023-03-07 01:22 am (UTC)Ugh, I might know what this is about... We had high hopes for the local Y and the water play classes we'd signed the toddler up for there. But last week they sent an email saying "expect a welcome email with important information later this week" and then...no welcome email. I emailed them yesterday asking about the welcome email...nothing. Classes start tomorrow and we're going in without that "important information." :facepalm: Now I'm trying to decide if it'd be better to call tomorrow or not (they don't answer the phone, you have to leave a message so...there may not be time for them to get back to us before the class). Is calling being too pushy? Not calling giving up too easily?
Well...wish us luck. :headdesk:
