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 14 April 2023. Thanks and see you next week for more Ogham readings!

Date: 2023-05-15 01:51 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. Straif when in balance means using times of strife as a learning experience instead of doing what a great many do: wallow in "poor pitiful me, I have such bad luck!" or the opposite imbalance, which is retreating to a fortified doomstead with thousands of dollars worth of MREs and training your eight year old in tactical weaponry. In the middle lies the sensible approach: being mentally ready for whatever comes, including a gentle and steady decline, which is the future for most of us.
For the Situation, you drew Onn or Community ill-dignified. As this is in Situation, it could be pointing to a person in your community acting like a total jerk this week. As long as you don't return the favor, you'll avoid the sloppy consequences. Onn in this dignity can talk about discomfort at work, with extended family, or within your local scene. Because it is in Situation, it could be happening to someone within your inner circle. Yet a third scenario is where you are asking for more than your community can provide.
For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. You have a propensity to edit your speech and behavior very well this week -- in my autistic female world, this is known as "masking". It sounds a great deal worse than it actually is. Anyone who possesses basic manners "masks", but psychotherapists decided to give it a name and attribute it solely to autistic people. Less is more, and saying nothing at all when you cannot say anything nice can be strategic in the long term sense.

Date: 2023-05-14 10:08 am (UTC)Option “P” - geomancy seemed to imply this option may somehow be good for my spiritual path, but less good for my health.
Option “H” - co-ed house
Option “R” - another co-ed house
Thank you.

Date: 2023-05-15 01:59 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards in response to your options.
Option P draws Quert or Delight ill-dignified. When ill-dignified, Quert is a card of either spending or partying excessively or going the opposite route into austerity and not enjoying the little things in life at all. My Ogham recommend against this one.
Option H draws Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. This co-ed house could be harboring someone with a disease, very bad habits, or someone who is a slob. Oppositely, there could be a neat freak who creates drama.
Option R seems the best to my Ogham. They provide Coll or Wisdom well-dignified, meaning that there are lessons to learn from R that may not be all that easy or fun, but overall it is the best one if you are to stay for any length of time.

Date: 2023-05-14 12:24 pm (UTC)I completed my two extra donations to Venus. The last one the candle was nearing the end of the wick, and it went up like a beacon as I made the donation with your rendition of the Orphic Hymn playing - that seemed like a good omen.
I've also brewed some very drinkable mead, and plan to continue that craft. How am I doing in repairing my relationship with Her?
Also, a friend and musical collaborator of mine is ignoring me - I have a feeling I may have done something to offend her, as my own Ogham gave me Ur ill-dignified when I asked why she has stopped contacting me. Do your Ogham have any advice as to what to do to get past this blockage?
Thanks!

Date: 2023-05-15 02:08 am (UTC)Fascinating!
My Ogham say you have a ways to go in repairing your relationship with Venus. They provide Tinne or Defense ill-dignified, which indicates she might want you to work with Ares. Tinne is one of his calling cards in my Ogham, and so is Huath. I have noticed when I propitiate to Aphrodite, there is almost always influence from Ares as well, hinting for me to sing his hymn and hold myself accountable for my own bad karma, so because of this, I tend to alternate my planetary charity between the two of them for brief eras.
For your friend, my Ogham creepily give me Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. This is a very direct way of them saying you should back off, leave her alone, and put it out of your mind. As my mother would wisely say, "the ball is in her court". Do the Midwestern thing, which means absolute silence, and if she does reach out to you, be exceedingly pleasant and courteous and make her draw you out if that's what she chooses to do, as if she never ghosted or made you feel like she was shutting you out. No asking "Are you mad at me?" Midwestern Nice will crack her resolve if it is indeed meant to be cracked.

Re: Week 20
Date: 2023-05-15 02:17 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. In this dignity, Ailm warns of depression, not feeling good, or getting snippy, especially when aggravated by fatigue or pain. This is a week to focus on the positive and to do your best to ignore your worst instincts. That said, false transcendence is a risk. We all know of someone who insists how wonderful his or her life is, yet, if you scratch the surface, they are a seething mess. Hopefully you won't have to deal with such a person this week, though if you do, understand it is a lesson being presented to you about false transcendence.
For the Situation, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. You may be frustrated and mystified by what you don't know, and though that sucks, someday you will know better; that's what incarnation is all about. You may have to deal with someone who thinks of themselves as wise but is far from it. Hopefully this won't be a trait you exhibit yourself, and the Ogham provide a gentle warning to admit what you do not or cannot know. That's what the smartest people on Earth do!
For the Outcome, you drew Quert or Delight well-dignified. This week offers an opportunity to celebrate life's little pleasures and to sublimate small things via gratitude. When you appreciate tiny things that 99.9 percent of people take for granted, you transform your life into pure beauty and delight. When covetousness and parsimonious exit your life, it will be because you've learned about being grateful from the ground up.

Date: 2023-05-14 03:08 pm (UTC)Does your Ogham suspect that what I have noticed over the past several months, and particularly in the past two weeks, is the result of a demonic or malign spirit's influence?
Also, on a perhaps separate note, is RT productive for me or a dead end?
no subject
Date: 2023-05-15 02:19 am (UTC)Their answer about RT is equally mysterious. They give Ioho or Grace well-dignified, which is a card of endings and letting go of what is not meant for you with dignity and resolve. Make of that what you will!
no subject
Date: 2023-05-15 02:46 am (UTC)The funny thing about question 2 is that one of the aspects around RT involves understanding what is meant for you vs not, and identifying what those things actually are so that you can abandon what isn't and pursue what is. I'm not sure exactly *what* is not meant for me in this case, as it could be any number of things I've been pondering.
Thai talisman
Date: 2023-05-14 04:09 pm (UTC)I found you from ecosophia!
My question for your Ogham is: would it be beneficial for me to buy the Thai talisman for protection I have been looking at for the past few weeks?
Thanks for your answer,
Pat
Re: Thai talisman
Date: 2023-05-15 02:27 am (UTC)Nice! Welcome.
My Ogham don't like the purchase of the Thai talisman for the rest of this lunar month. They provide Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified, meaning that it is better to wait for what the Ogham are telling you will be a gift. Please ask again about purchasing the talisman once the moon is in a new cycle (after May 19).

Date: 2023-05-14 04:23 pm (UTC)I was inspired by a recent request on your readings post. What can the Ogham tell me about the past life most relevant for what I need to deal with in this one?
Thanks!
no subject
Date: 2023-05-15 02:35 am (UTC)My Ogham say the most crucial thing you need to think about that is a holdover from your past life is your attitude on health. They provide Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. This indicates that you had good health in your past life and that it may have been better than it is in your current life. How have your attitudes about health and sickness changed over time? Is there anything about your health you take for granted? Do you think you take responsibility for your health issues, or is there an imbalance there? Some people run away from responsibility where health is concerned: they eat all sorts of garbage, sit on the couch, and then want a magic pill from Dr. Feelgood to solve all their lifestyle problems as they become progressively disabled. On the opposite end, there are the health nuts who fail to understand that orthorexia is a form of ingratitude and that in order to live a happy and well-rounded life, you need to unclench and eat something deep-fried. Most of us fall in the middle, and I myself tend to swing more towards the couch potato one LOL except for the magic pill/Dr. Feelgood part.

Date: 2023-05-15 04:20 pm (UTC)My husband tends to heap all of the daily indoor etheric labor upon me -- he does not cook, wash dishes, or clean except on rare occasion. Every single dish, fork, and spoon, he leaves by the sink for me to wash, and the second I wash the dishes and put them away, he leaves a few more. He does lots of outdoor etheric labor and fixes anything that needs repair, so it all works out, but I am still the primary breadwinner paying most of the bills, buying most of the food, and doing the whopping majority of the housework. I have a great deal of etheric force, but even my crazy leonine fire gets depleted with the load I am carrying. It's a good thing we have a small house; I can barely manage this little place. I highly recommend vitamin supplements, especially daily C, B spectrum, D, and Zinc. I take these four with the first large meal of the day -- this is so I can trick my body into thinking the vitamins were in my food.
Another habit is making matcha (it's green tea powder) with a whisk every morning and drinking a small cup of it by a sunny window. Essentially I break my nightly fast with matcha every morning. Matcha is slightly bitter and good for the liver, which is the organ that handles metabolism and filters a great deal of waste. Supporting your liver can go a long way in improving how you feel. Matcha is excellent for replenishing the etheric body, which is why the Japanese tea ceremony revolves around matcha IMO, as well as drawing down spiritual power in order to cleanse the astral and to further replenish the etheric.

Date: 2023-05-15 04:30 pm (UTC)I go to an integrative doctor because of the initial health problems that triggered the whole situation (about eight years ago now) and I can generally predict what my lab results will be for thyroid, cholesterol, estrogen, blood sugar, etc. just based on the month of the year.
I am very glad I have a small house too! And two teenagers who are relatively independent and low-drama. :)

Date: 2023-05-14 06:41 pm (UTC)We are considering having our house resided in cement based siding. Please ask Ogham if we will be pleased with the result and if our house will be pleased.
Punky Little Kid
no subject
Date: 2023-05-15 02:38 am (UTC)My Ogham like this option for your house.
For the first question, they believe you'll be happy with the result. They provide Koad or Confluence well-dignified, meaning this sort of siding is not right for every house, but it will be a good fit for yours.
For the second question, they provide Beith or Beginnings well-dignified, and the house spirit will likely to be pleased with the new siding.

Date: 2023-05-14 08:37 pm (UTC)I, too, was inspired by the recent request, and would like to know what your Ogham can tell me about the past life most relevant for what I need to deal with in this one.

Date: 2023-05-15 03:42 am (UTC)I'm happy to oblige.
The Ogham provide Eadha or Limits well-dignified, which means that for you, the key that you take from the last life into this one is a recognition and respect of limits. The Ogham feel you may have improved your attitude about limits since the last time you took a spin, incarnation-wise. In my own past life, I was a perfectionistic woman who had a distinct lack of financial restraints, and that is why I have had to learn "how the other half lives" via personal experience in this one. My past life as a comfortable yet depressed widow (she lost her children in a World War and was bitter about it for the rest of her life) has taught me that family ties are worth far more than money. I have also learned how to be scrappy in a way she forgot or simply ignored. Because I have the experience of being rich and clueless in my past life, I see the rich and clueless of our current era as being forced to learn the same lessons I did in their future lives. It would be good idea to explore which of your limits have been imposed by your own morals and personal choices in this life in meditation. Which limits do your upbringing ("nurture") place upon your life? Which limits are caused by nature? For instance, I'm a woman, so I'll never be a father despite what the Wokerati would like to believe... I'll just have to wait until a future incarnation to work out all these Dad jokes. Think about how some of your limits are entirely by choice, including the ones that make you unhappy every now and then. Perhaps you could change any number of your circumstances for what would be perceived as "better" with a bit of effort, but you deliberately choose not to do so. Why? Are there lessons here that may have been provided by your higher self? When is someone else's "better" not as good as what you know to be right for yourself? When has sticking to perceived limits been an act bad faith for both you and people you have known quite well?

Date: 2023-05-15 03:55 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. You may have pangs of sadness and regret that seemingly come from nowhere this week -- be aware these are often bad egregores that seek to trick you into wanting what you don't have. That said, your general humor this week stands a good chance of handily defeating nasty spirits. As long as you are willing to say "I don't do that anymore" and accept responsibility for your errors while resolving to do better in an serious and earnest way, you needn't worry any further about being judged.
For the Situation, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. Straight up, this card may indicate physical danger this week, so be on your guard. Take time to properly defend yourself, be acutely aware of your physical limits, and don't let anyone or anything push you too hard. That said, you must live your life and in every life there is risk.
For the Outcome, you drew Koad or Confluence well-dignified. You have a harmonious week in general ahead and much of this is what you've put in place. Be properly grateful for what is sheer dumb luck, but don't be overly reticent about taking credit for your own good decisions. You have to acknowledge and think about your own good decisions (you don't have to do this publicly) in order to build a foundation for future good decisions.

Date: 2023-05-14 11:36 pm (UTC)Last week was pretty good. Nice and quiet.
Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2023-05-15 04:03 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. You may feel some impatience, frustration, and/or boredom this week. Another happier possibility is that you will share knowledge and be exceedingly generous beyond your means with someone who could use a pick-me-up, and this case, you will be (eventually) rewarded with more than you gave.
For the Situation, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. It's important to keep silent at the right times this week, as saying too much will cause unnecessary drama. It is possible that you'll either not have enough downtime for yourself or that you'll have too much, and because Ur is in Situation, this could be talking about dissonance for someone close to you.
For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. Tinne is a Martial card and in any dignity, I will utter my usual warning about possible physical danger. Don't do anything risky this week. Yes, the good dignity means you will have luck where this is concerned, but don't test your luck. Other than that, Tinne talks about good personal relationships and an active inner life being the real foundation of a life well-lived, despite whatever the magazines and screens blather on about.

Date: 2023-05-15 04:16 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. The Ogham say there's a good chance of a gaffe, setback, or unpleasantness that occurs partly out of crappy luck but also because you step on a proverbial rake you left lying around, meaning you'll be partially to blame. Do what you can to fix it and move on -- that's often all we can do.
For the Situation, you drew Phagos or Teaching well-dignified. This week potentially offers the opportunity to learn from a master. You may even be the master, and in sharing your knowledge, you are blessed by it coming back to you full circle from when you began to learn it.
For the Outcome, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. This card usually talks about good things from the world of strangers: recognition, commercial transactions, and beneficial connection to distant people and places, including to the past and future. It's a good week to be a social butterfly, to make purchases, and to learn new skills.

Date: 2023-05-15 04:32 am (UTC)You and the fam drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. It's going to be tempting to sink to a lower level of vibration this week -- it's never worth it. Expect some depression and fatigue, perhaps a bit of drama. Equally out of balance is false transcendence, otherwise known as "I'm OK, you're OK" syndrome. Papering over difficulty and problems is a way of kicking the can down the road, plus it's dishonest and toxic.
For the Situation, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified, which indicates harmony in the family life overall and the kind of graceful tact that makes all relationships both inside and outside the family much, much easier. It's a good week to brush up on your listening skills and to stick to the maxim "less is more" when it comes to divulging information and talking about yourself.
For the Outcome, you drew Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. As this reading concerns you and your family, it may be trying to warn you about what your children are being taught, either by you or someone else. Another possibility is it is warning of presuming you know what you actually do not know: there is no shame in admitting you have no idea. Also on the table is being obliged to deal with an ignorant buffoon or buffoons.
Reading for Anon
Date: 2023-05-15 04:46 am (UTC)Here is your reading for the week of 5/14:
You drew three cards.
For the You position, you drew Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. In your neck of the collective astral, the weather is fairer than is typical of our demonic age. This means it is a straight up good luck week for you, and though you cannot change it one way or another, being grateful for it is a good option. Take advantage of this week by thinking out future scenarios and decisions, potentially making a needed purchase, and freeing yourself of material possessions you no longer want or need.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. If there be trolls this week, you need to ignore them. Remember that being drawn into conflict often empowers and emboldens the enemy, and that's why they instinctively wanted to fight you in the first place. If you don't give them your precious attention, they become weaker and you don't have to lift a finger. Ailm in this dignity can talk about feeling depressed, down, and not your best. Oppositely, an Ailm imbalance can indicate false transcendence of the "EVERYTHING IS GREAT" variety -- if it's not great, you need to be honest. Admit it and then figure out what is going on underneath the surface.
For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. Saying "I don't do that anymore" is your most powerful weapon against those who want you to feel guilty for stuff that isn't your fault. We all have mea culpas and errors, but they are deeply personal and like fingerprints, no two are the same. Those who wish to manipulate us via guilt are everywhere -- it's a form of predation and lots of people as well as egregores have a taste for it. What you regret is your business and nobody else's. When they try to put their regrets on you, they're usually projecting.
