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 of blessing to the deity/deities of your choice are welcome whether or not you can donate.
************************
New Ogham reading requests are closed for the week of 30 April 2023. Thanks and see you next week for more Ogham readings!

Thank you.

Date: 2023-04-30 03:42 pm (UTC)Thanks for the follow up! You drew three cards for May.
For the You position, you drew Mór or Sea Change, which is to say things will generally go well and that your little pocket of the collective astral will be less awful than the average. It's a good month to do meditations for the future and to map out trajectories for the long haul.
For the Situation, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. Much of what you are reaping in May has to do with what you've sown; any successes have likely been earned and are coming back to you accordingly. Because this is in Situation, people who are in your circle could be benefiting as well, or they could be the ones who are planting new seeds because you gave them pathways to do so in the past.
For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. In any dignity but especially when ill-dignified, Tinne can signal actual physical danger to you and yours, so be wary in May. Take no unnecessary risks, take a multivitamin every day, and keep up with a mild exercise routine. Danger is not always physical, and Tinne can mean having to fend off psychic attacks. Lastly, there is such a thing as over-protecting oneself, and if you find yourself retreating into a paranoid shell, make contact with the Earth and it's peoples again and staunchly refuse to live in fear.

Date: 2023-04-30 03:52 pm (UTC)Thank you! May is gorgeous in northern Illinois. I hope the same for you, wherever you are.
You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. This week you are offered the opportunity to see how your own past generosity sublimated and amplified itself through others (people, places, times) and now comes back to you in multiple forms. It's also a good week to meditate on how imbalance of generosity -- in the form of stinginess or enablement/spoiling -- degrades and withers.
For the Situation, you drew Ngetal or Health ill-dignified. Straight up, take this as a potential warning and guard your health like a hawk. For me, this means regular mild exercise and an array of vitamin supplements. As you are in Situation, this could indicate working among sick/contagious people, doing something dangerous, or loved ones of yours falling ill. It can also mean an imbalanced retreat for you or a loved one into a toxic mentality where health is fetishized -- common symptoms of this are seeking the "help" of quacks, dysmorphia, dieting, and compulsive exercise.
For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. If you find yourself in a situation where you don't know answers that people seem anxious to obtain, don't be afraid to say "I don't know". There could also be an ignorance of your own copious knowledge and people not realizing the value of your knowledge: I often get Phagos in this dignity when a bunch of my students cancel their lessons without very good reasons except they were lazy and did not practice!

Week 18
Date: 2023-04-30 04:51 am (UTC)1. What do I need to know in order to make the best out of this week?
2. I'm not sure if I'm phrasing this question correctly; am I bothering/scaring/annoying people on the astral plane when I'm dreaming? Sometimes I have dreams where I'm trying to reconnect with someone, and oftentimes it ends up being a case where circumstances block my ability to talk to them. After reflecting on what I've learned so far about the astral plane, I guess I'm looking for confirmation that I need to somehow change my conduct on the astral plane.
Thanks!

Re: Week 18
Date: 2023-04-30 04:15 pm (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. Overall, this week will go well for you and lay positive tracks for the future. It's a good week to observe your small part of the astral in relation to the collective as your astral "territory" will be an oasis in the s**tstorm.
For the Situation, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. It's going to be tempting to overshare. Saying less is far better this week, and the more you can keep secret, the better. Be ready to curate and tailor your persona quite specifically to everyone you deal with this week, and even keep the online info to a minimum.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. This is the week to toughen yourself up and to refuse to be swept up in toxic emotions and emotionality. Many people become dramatic and emotional regularly simply out of boredom, and in my opinion boredom is a lousy reason to make trouble. Earth yourself out, pick up a project (preferably one where you have to sweat, but whatever) and even if it's sweeping the floor or cleaning the bathroom, do it and refuse to be swept up in whatever stupidity is trending around you at the moment.
My Ogham like it when I rephrase your question as "What can Eugene do to improve the interactions within his dreams?" They provide Uilleand or Generosity well-dignified. I don't know about you, but I am often faced with choices in dreams such as whether or not to steal, fight, or cheat. I am often saddled with having to travel through terrifying places, and of course in these dream situations I cannot find my car, my clothes, or my shoes. My choice is in how I react. That said, regardless of what some dream-gurus would claim, you do NOT have total control over your choices in dreams and should not feel guilty if you end up annoying someone in a dream. The planes are discrete and non-continuous and bothering someone in a dream it is absolutely not the same as bothering them in Meatworld. Overall, my Ogham say to cultivate a generosity mentality in your daily Meatworld life and that will trickle up to your dreams. This generosity means cleaning up and tidying your physical space, as this form of constant, unrelenting sacred homemaking affects your astral state. It means giving others the benefit of the doubt and seeing the best side of them even when they are jerks. It means to appreciate being of modest means and to not count every (missing) penny, because you can't take what you bought with you anyways, so might as well go without it.

Date: 2023-04-30 06:25 am (UTC)To share: This month has been odd, seemingly monolithic obligations crumbling down into more manageable chunks. In aggregate, it's still the same size as the monolithic expectation, but the granularity gives a better sense of accomplishment.
To ask: What is it that I need to know this week, according to the Ogham?

You drew three cards this week. For the You position, you drew Koad or Confluence well-dignified. You maintain balance despite upsetting storms this week, and though part of this is luck, part is you and your resolve.
For the Situation, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified, which means that you could have to suffer some people behaving badly -- people who are stingy, rude, deliberately and stubbornly ignorant. Do your best not to let their bad attitude rub off on you; all of the bad traits I mentioned are extremely contagious. The other possibility is that you may be tempted to overdo it in food, drink, shopping, watching TV, or any activity you find pleasurable, so though you should absolutely indulge, do so in moderation.
For the Outcome, you drew Ngetal or Health ill-dignified. Straight up, this is a health and safety warning, so be on your guard all of this week. It can be pointing to not slowing down and taking care of your own needs and/or etheric starvation, or if it is an opposite imbalance, it could be referring to too much paranoia regarding health.

Date: 2023-05-01 12:09 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. Straight up, this card (especially in this dignity) can point to physical risk for you, so be on your guard this week. Other than physical danger, this card talks about Martial force and if it is ill-dig, it has a propensity towards imbalance this week. It may be tempting to be overbearing, to jump to conclusions, and to dive in where angels fear to tread, so be aware of the possibility. There is equal possibility of not applying enough Martial force when necessary, and this will often happen if you need to stand up and potentially fight -- literally or figuratively -- for yourself or someone else.
For the Situation, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. You are a great asset in your particular niche this week, and hopefully other people can be as helpful and useful to you as you are to them. This helpfulness and willingness to work with others translates into benefits for you and whoever is closest to you.
For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. Phagos indicates a willingness to do the slow kind of steady work that always results in magnificence, though it can take a terribly long time. The gods smile on such work and you will be given encouragement if you look for the signs.

Date: 2023-04-30 12:17 pm (UTC)Thanks again for last week's reading - it's really helped to settle me down in my future plans. I've been having a gander at some of those Unboxed videos, very informative.
I was wondering if you could check in with how I'm doing with Venus. Have I successfully finished my round of planetary charity with her (one of the donations was in the small hours of calendrical-Saturday-but-astrological-Friday)?
Also, would it be a good idea to start a round of donations to Mercury to help with my writing?
Best wishes,
Luke

Date: 2023-05-01 12:15 am (UTC)You're very welcome and thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you're now my partner in enjoying Nick's videos... he puts me in stitches.
Venus says you're not quite done. She wants 2 more weeks of planetary charity from you -- basically the one week from the weird Friday/Saturday leftover plus a bonus week. She often wants a little extra from me as well is what I have noticed. She gives you Onn or Community ill-dignified, which is to say doing the charity helps the community somehow.
For beginning a round of donations of Mercury, not this week. They provide Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified, which means the usual guides and helpers may not be available. Isn't it Mercury retrograde this week?

What will be the outcome of the education I will be obtaining over the next 16 months?
Thank you for your time.
no subject
Date: 2023-05-01 12:18 am (UTC)They provide Ioho or Grace ill-dignified, which means you are going to have very little rest. You will likely have to put a great deal of happy and pleasurable things aside, and let many seemingly pressing matters slip to the wayside. The danger here is severe etheric starvation, so you will have to find workarounds so that you get enough fresh air and get yourself enough nourishing meals so as not to damage your health.

Date: 2023-05-01 12:26 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week. For the You position, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. You feel at home in your local corner this week and enjoy the comfort of being able to reach out to those of like mind. From my own experience, I have found that just one friend from my "tribe" is worth at least ten of those outside it or who will never understand it. Realize these people for the gifts they are and be openly grateful for them.
For the Situation, you drew Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified. This week may be heavy with important realizations. Though they are necessary and need to happen, they may be stunning or painful or both. Because this is in Situation, it could be talking about someone close to you having the stunning realization.
For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. In any dignity, Huath can imply physical danger, so I hope it isn't the case but you ought to be warned. Overall, Huath talks about your Martial force being balanced: being able to deal with your own mea culpas in a constructive rather than a wallowing or avoiding way, being able to handle emotional bullying and pushiness, and sufficient sight to understand if you have to jump into dramatic action.

Date: 2023-05-01 12:42 am (UTC)You drew three cards for May 2023.
For the You position, you drew Onn or Community well-dignified. You feel you are a part of a tribe or several tribes in May, and the network you have grows in power and hopefully in number. You are an asset to them and they are the same to you. It's very good to have that kind of chain of good people in your corner.
For the Situation, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. I often draw this card when I take a financial hit or have a thin month, so be ready to pinch your pennies this month, watch your bank account and credit cards like a hawk (I have had criminals steal from me and then not realize it until it was too late because I didn't check my accounts enough) and generally be conservative. Unfortunately, because this is in Situation, it could be talking about these things happening directly or affecting someone close to you, or it can be talking about bad habits and strained relationships.
For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified, another card of potentially thin finances. Basically, both Gort and Muin warn about the psychology of previous investment, putting faith in projects that are no longer worth your time, or wanting a result you cannot possibly get with your existing set of circumstances and actions.

Q- In the middle of June, I'll be beginning my sabbatical time off, which will last for about a month. What will the experience be like?
Thanks,

Date: 2023-05-01 12:45 am (UTC)My Ogham think it might be a bit weird or rough. They give you Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified, meaning that the change will throw you for a loop and it may be very difficult to get the major project done. It's very possible you need a legitimate vacation and not a working one.

Coming week
Date: 2023-04-30 04:44 pm (UTC)Hope you and the Ogham are well. Thank you for your gracious readings of the Ogham. Helpful and appreciated.
Expecting a super hairy week this week, especially since Mercury retrograde makes many things take longer and require more painstaking checking. Wondering what advice the Ogham have for negotiating this week as well as can be expected.
Thank you,
MJ in MA
Re: Coming week
Date: 2023-05-01 01:25 am (UTC)My Ogham agree it may be a bit rough this week.
For the You position, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified, meaning that bad habits will be difficult to break this week and finances/resources may be stretched thin. If a major shake-up is needed, you have to be fearless about standing your ground.
For the Situation, you drew Beith or Beginnings ill-dignified. This is another card of feeling stretched and pulled in too many directions, feeling that your get up and go "got up and went", or generally just not wanting to sally forth. Your best strategy is setting limits as to what you get involved with and prioritizing rest for yourself.
For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. Luckily, this latest drama is nothing new and you know how to deal with what is coming this week. The Ogham suggest you can overcome a great deal by taking responsibility, yet refusing to wallow in blame or self-blame for the past.

Date: 2023-04-30 10:02 pm (UTC)The Oghams were right last week, I injured my eye.
Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2023-05-01 02:02 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. This is a card of not knowing what you want or need to know, though it can also point to overconfidence or underconfidence in your knowledge.
For the Situation, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. This one could be a straight up danger card, so be very careful with your poor eye. Overall, Huath is Martial force and if it's lacking, it means feeling like you don't have enough strength. Too much and you're forcing your own way when you should sit back and take advice. Since this is Situation, it could be affecting or applying to someone close to you.
For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. It may be very difficult to get your proper rest this week, though you will need it. There could also be too much rest and a feeling of inertia.

Date: 2023-05-01 02:04 am (UTC)My Ogham suggest Jupiter. They provide Coll or Wisdom, which is one of his calling cards in my Ogham. You might also propitiate and pray to Athena, goddess of wisdom.
May strategy
Date: 2023-04-30 10:33 pm (UTC)Thank you as always for doing these!
I'd like to ask about a good approach to May. How can I best direct my efforts and energies this month?
Thanks,
Jonathan.
Re: May strategy
Date: 2023-05-01 02:29 am (UTC)You drew three cards this May.
For the You position, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. Even though it's well dignified, this can indicate physical danger or illness, so be on your guard and vigilant about your health this month. Overall, it means that you let people know just enough in order to stay and appear sane. You're neither overly eager to please nor are you paranoid.
For the Situation, you drew Duir or Gifts well-dignified. Duir is the lesson of generosity (that what is given from the heart returns seven times over) and it's one of if not the best Oghams of all. This is a good month to draw near to your loved ones and to study how those who are grateful are always wealthier (if "wealth" is taken to mean full of wellness) than the stingy, despite their comparative amount of resources.
For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret ill-dignified. Someone may attempt to make you feel guilty or perhaps you will try to guilt-trip yourself this month. Keep in mind there is no point to taking responsibility for guilt if you're going to wallow in your culpability. The constructive strategy is to say "I don't do that anymore" and move on, and if someone tries to guilt you, you can tell them the same thing or better yet, ignore them.

Month of May
Date: 2023-04-30 11:14 pm (UTC)Re: Month of May
Date: 2023-05-01 02:38 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards for May.
For the You card, they provide Ioho or Grace ill-dignified, which means there is a good chance of either not being able to rest enough in May or the opposite problem of everything moving like molasses in January.
For the Situation, they give Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified, which indicates the general collective astral in your neck of the woods may be trashy and could make life difficult as trouble will attempt to pour in from several sides. Overall, if you can lay low, do that, and put off announcing or making major decisions until a better month.
For the Outcome, the Ogham see you overcoming it with Nuin or Communication well-dignified, meaning that through good temperament and the ability to learn new things and get along with strangers, you'll triumph and be able to make the most out of what would have been a not-so-great month.

Date: 2023-05-01 12:25 am (UTC)Yay! I am on time this week!
So, what does the Ogham advise me to do to increase my business income from my off grid Chiropractic. I believe I need to be more actively outreaching, but I prefer to keep off the internet as much as is reasonable. Perhaps an open house?
Annette
Re: Businees
Date: 2023-05-01 02:49 am (UTC)My Ogham say you are right to keep off the internet, at least for now. They provide Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified when I ask if you need to do more with the internet right now, which means you'll be OK for the time being keeping it at the level you're at.
For the second question, they do like the idea of an open house. They provide Onn or Community well-dignified, indicating that the people in your area will likely make it a success. Free food! Hopefully it will be a success and you can do regular open houses.
Re: Businees
Date: 2023-05-03 01:38 am (UTC)I’ll clean up my landscaping and plan a nice menu featuring healthy food on a day that is auspicious for business and community.

Date: 2023-05-01 02:56 am (UTC)My Ogham provide an all well-dignified reading for you this month. That said, I've had some doozies on all well-dig readings, so take it with a grain of salt!
For the You position, you drew Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. Overall, you'll have good luck in May. The only detriment is this luck is not what you've created for yourself (though we all create our own luck in some sense) but more the general state of the astral plane around you. This is a good month to make long term plans, hatch major decisions, and generally to take a bird's eye view of where you are in life.
For the Situation, you drew Duir or Gifts well-dignified. Duir talks about the joy of being able to share your gifts generously, and for every gift you pay forward, you can rely on being repaid seven times as it sublimates throughout the planes of existence. This is a good month to look at how your own acts of generosity have reaped more than they have sown, and to look at comparative times when you acted with stinginess so you can see how it bites in unforeseen ways.
For the Outcome, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. By being a good guide to others, you draw good guidance to yourself. Fearn is good advice that you find that you can take and use, and that lifts you up and makes you able to reach out and help others in an endless feedback loop of good. The drawback is that some may seek to take advantage of your helpfulness, so you will need to set limits on how you help/whom you help even if this is a bit painful.

Thanks and happy May Day!

no subject
Date: 2023-05-01 03:14 am (UTC)The Ogham give you and your family three cards this week.
For the You or most immediate position, they provide Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. You and other family members are feeling over-scheduled or under-scheduled and sadly not much in-between. Someone may be having trouble letting go gracefully. The best way to create balance is to take a sensible with your own schedule, let go of what is not meant to be, and generally live by example.
For the Situation, you drew Quert or Delight ill-dignified. Being caught up in a whirlwind may leave no time for etheric replenishment. Quert in this dignity calls you and the family to appreciate beauty and not to be so captured by pragmatism and purpose. Beauty has its own purpose and that is to connect us with the divine.
For the Outcome, you drew Koad or Confluence well-dignified. You and the family will pull it together and you'll make the very best that can be made out of this week from what the Ogham predict. The important part here is to improve what small parts you can and don't sweat the rest too much.
