Ogham Readings on Sundays

[kimberlysteele]

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.

Hi Kimberly and thank you as always for this service.

I am curious as to what your Ogham thinks about my relationship with old friends from college.

I had stayed in touch with some college friends over the years, but starting in 2016 I started to feel increasingly alienated from them. You can probably guess why. First the TDS made me uncomfortable - even though I never even liked Trump, there was something just off about their seething vitriol. Then they went in whole hog for Cootie Mania (they never asked my jab status and I never volunteered, so they don't even know that I'm one of the Unclean). And along the way they all seemed to become increasingly woke and to support things that I find frankly appalling (trans ideology that sexualizes and pushes gender confusion on minors and allows biological men to steal women's sports titles and scholarships, medical mandates that violate bodily autonomy, etc.). Years ago, we were all on what used to be the political left, and as far as I can tell, my positions have changed very little - but they sort of sprinted off the woke deep end without me. That's what it feels like anyway. A lot of us have been there, I imagine.

My question is, how should I handle this? Should I accept their efforts to re-connect or avoid them? If the former what do I do if their deranged nonsense comes up - do I bite my tongue and smile, or push back? I don't want to get into pointless fights with people, but I also don't know how much tongue-biting I can do.

The whole thing is just....wearisome. On one hand, I feel like just washing my hands of these people, but on the other hand, it really does feel sometimes like they've been ensorcelled in some way and maybe I shouldn't write them off but should stick around as a voice of sanity should the enchantment ever wear off, or maybe for some other reason I can't see right now.

Does your Ogham have any advice for me?

My Ogham recommend completely cutting them off, like Cut & Clear spell on a Saturday during the hour of Saturn, throwing a bottle into a river and not going back the way you came. I am surprised they are this hardcore but from what I can see, they don't think these friends are of any benefit to you at all anymore. I feel your pain, because after a series of divinations, I cut and cleared my oldest friend, a person I had known since childhood. The bottom line is I did not feel this person had my back and like many of my former friends, was not capable of making a deep connection with me that was free of envy. Perhaps it was just me projecting my shadow upon them, as I have been guilty of envy many times, but one way or another, we grew apart.

For completely cutting them out of your life, my Ogham provide Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. This is to say that the Wise Ones (holy powers, deities, beings who are smarter than humans who actually like us and want to help us) see the future with these people bringing nothing but futility and pain. You can learn this the hard way or the easy way, and Coll in this dignity represents the latter.

For giving them some limited information and interaction with you, my Ogham provide Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. If you give these people an inch, they will make sure to take a mile. They will try your patience and try to pull "GOTCHAS" at every meeting because they have internalized guilt and worry about what they did. Perhaps they are still under whatever spell drove them to madness these past three years.

For allowing them back into your life with open arms, my Ogham provide Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. Muin and Gort are right next to each other in the Ogham deck: Muin is the first Water card and Gort is the second one. Basically, nothing good will come of forgiving them and it seems likely they will go to their deaths believing in The Science and whatever helps them sleep at night. I'm sure you're familiar with my hypothesis that a good number of the quaxxed will spend some quality time in hell/hells, right? If not, here it is. It's pretty dark. https://kimberlysteele.dreamwidth.org/76360.html

Thank you for the reading.

It is indeed very painful.

The worst part of it is, I really don't think that these are malicious people. That's what's so hard about what's been going on for the better part of 7-8 years now. It's like watching loved ones lost to a cult. They now really believe whatever indoctrination they're spouting, and think they're doing the "right" thing and that they are good, smart, and perfectly reasonable people. I know there is nothing I can do, but it's still sad.

That said, my instinct is to pull away and avoid. They're all being perfectly nice and normal, all happy that "the pandemic is over" and they can get back to "normal" life and want me to come socialize, but I still shrink from them. I can't un-see what I've seen in recent years - the gullibility, the group-think, the worship of dogma ("science"), the unthinking obedience to authority ("experts"), the support of human rights violations, the willingness to condemn others (Trump voters, the unjabbed) as a sub-category of humans who don't deserve respect, etc. There's something very wrong with their moral compasses, even if they can't see it.

The fact is, your Ogham basically told me what my intuition was already telling me...but I wanted a "second opinion" on the matter. Your Ogham's confirmation of my instincts makes me feel less like I'm the crazy one.

Thank you and you're welcome, of course. This whole thing seemed uncanny (the mildest of terms I can use to describe it) and like a test. They failed. Their whole lives were spent learning how to people please and stay in the right lanes and do the right things and when it actually counted -- when their souls were on the line -- they FAILED. I don't think their karma would be half as bad if they didn't imagine themselves to be morally superior or had the ability to say "I could be wrong". Of course there is no fact check for this, but I think when they die, the quaxxed are given the same warm reception as anyone else as the spirit guides shepherd them towards the sorting out phase of the afterlife process. Once that initial honeymoon period is over, the guides inform them that they failed the test and that depending on how gracefully they accept their penance, they could go to hell for a very long time. I believe this is what I have been told by multiple ghosts of people who died after being quaxxed. As always, I could be wrong. For those who continue in the insistence that there was no test or that they passed a test that they clearly failed, hell may be very long and very bad. Some won't cling to arrogance and will only go to hell for the normal time for which most of us go to hell. If they hold on to their arrogance long enough, they may end up forgetting what it was to be human at all, and the powers don't seem to care if they regress and become spiders, deer, fish, etc. However long it takes to get them to a place of understanding that their actions didn't just affect them. I believe I was once proud of being a cat and I'm pretty sure I got my turn as a hawk or some kind of bird of prey at least once or twice. Arrogance isn't just for humans! Because the quaxx caused and continues to cause so much misery, I believe the karma has terrible potential. But this post will have its readers who will immediate jump to KIMBERLY STEELE PRESUMES ALL QUAXXED WILL BE KARMICALLY REGRESSED INTO ANIMALS, never once reading my mantra that I could be wrong.

For what it's worth, I too think this whole thing has felt like a test.

Like with most tests, I tend to think that there were degrees of success and failure. Some people failed spectacularly, using covid as an excuse to exercise their worst impulses and act horribly. Other people - and these are the kind I was talking about here - also failed, but less dramatically. Growing up isn't always easy; to achieve true maturity, you have to be willing to question what you've been told and to interrogate the legitimacy of the authorities you were always told to trust. A lot of people fell down on this test not because they wanted any excuse to act like jerks, but because they were just far too comfortable and lazy to do the hard work of asking questions and finding answers they might not like. It's just easier to keep believing what you were told to believe, trusting who you were told to trust, and not leaving your comfortable little nest of childish illusion about how the world works. The blue pill is the easier choice, and a lot of people picked it.

I imagine there will be degrees of consequences as well. I do hope that the people who failed out of childishness will be given another shot in their next incarnation at making the choice to grow up.
