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.
*****************
Ogham reading requests are closed for the week of Sunday, May 21, 2023. Please be patient as it can take anywhere from 4-48 hours for me to do all the readings. Thank you!

Date: 2023-05-21 06:55 am (UTC)Thank you ever so much for your readings. It took me a little while to focus, but now they are a helpful part of my spiritual routine.
Please can you enquire of your Ogham what I will be wise to keep in mind this week.

You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Quert or Delight well-dignified. You are able to see the beauty of small things that most people miss this week, and that is a product of spiritual discipline and gratitude. Quert sees God in the details. By acting courteously, giving others the benefit of the doubt, and slowing down enough to enjoy life, you will sublimate the mundane.
For the Situation, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. This can be a physical danger card, especially when ill-dignified, and because it is in Situation, it may mean a threat affecting someone within your inner circle or a close call for you. Be aware. With that warning out of the way, typically Huath represents an imbalance of Martial force: either too much, meaning the Ogham warn of coming on too strong or being pushy or the opposite, which means shrinking away from a challenge that needs to be met head on. And once again, this can be referring to someone in your inner circle and not you.
For the Outcome, you drew Nuin or Communication well-dignified. Chances are that your message or goodness of character affects someone you don't know at all this week for the better. Nevertheless, the karma will return your way. Nuin also talks about proper recognition, being able to negotiate and work with people from afar, and states of accumulation when it comes to learning and knowledge.
Thai talisman (continued from precious week) + Hekate deipnon
Date: 2023-05-21 08:28 am (UTC)This is a continuation from my post last week in which you suggested asking my question again after the new moon. I am not really sure what the gift mentioned in the last reading was supposed to indicate, but I will update you if I receive anything out of the ordinary.
My first question for this week then is the same: would it be beneficial for me to purchase a Thai talisman for protection (there are 2 now that I am considering).
My second question, if I may, is did Hekate accept the offerings I made on the dark of the Moon and is she willing to work with me?
Thanks for the opportunity to ask these questions!

Re: Thai talisman (continued from precious week) + Hekate deipnon
Date: 2023-05-22 03:07 am (UTC)My Ogham don't care for the Thai talismans this week either. For Thai talisman No. 1, they provide Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. For reasons that you do not understand, the first talisman is not going to work out. Phagos is a card of the mental plane and of fundamental laws of nature, so if you get it ill-dignified, it means that there are large forces at work that make the talisman unsuitable for you.
For Thai talisman No. 2, you drew Ailm or Transcendence ill-dignified. This means the second talisman will either not work for its intended purpose at all or that you'll think it's working when it is not. Either way, my Ogham are straight up suggesting you try other kinds of talismans as for whatever reason, Thai talismans are not right for you.
For Hekate, she provides Onn or Community well-dignified as an affirmative that she accepts your dark moon offerings and she welcomes you to the fold.
Road trip
Date: 2023-05-21 09:03 am (UTC)I've been busy getting ready for my business trip. I'm leaving later today. I would like to ask the Ogham what do I need to be mindful of this week?
Thank you,
-MF
Re: Road trip
Date: 2023-05-22 03:13 am (UTC)For the You position, you drew Straif or Resilience. When balanced, Straif means you are prepared where it actually counts: in your mind. Worry is a fine thing when kept within strict limits. You're neither paranoid nor reckless, and that attitude is exactly what you'll need to see the week and the trip through successfully.
For the Situation, you drew Mór or Sea Change. Mór symbolizes the pond in which we all must swim -- it's your milieu. Overall, it works in your favor this week. The Ogham think you've picked the best possible week for this trip.
For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. You'll likely avoid a gaffe or stupid mistake because of previous life experience this week. That said, expect challenges and being expected to know what to say to whom at what time and expect that you'll have to self-censor or maintain silence at least once.
no subject
Date: 2023-05-21 09:39 am (UTC)1. What do I need to know to make the best of this week?
2. Does your Ogham think a better option for "A" will open up later this month compared to my current options, or no?
no subject
Date: 2023-05-22 03:22 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. You might feel impatient at something you've been waiting for, or it's also possible that you will do something that feels right but does not result in the karma you want. Overall, it is a week to think carefully before you act; don't let anyone push you around.
For the Situation, you drew Duir or Gifts well-dignified. Though it is possible that this card means you will give or receive a literal gift, Duir means "door" and talks about using what makes you special to shine and to help others do the same, opening a doorway of positive progression.
For the Outcome, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. Straight up, this card can mean physical danger in any dignity, so be on your guard. With that aside, look for imbalances of Martial force -- the urge to come on too strong or to say more than necessary in hopes of getting your way or some other good outcome, or irritation and anger. Oppositely, be aware of potential lacks in Martial force, taking it on the chin when you shouldn't or not standing up for someone.

Date: 2023-05-21 01:08 pm (UTC)Thank you for this space. I have two questions this week related to planetary charity:
a) Would Saturn accept donations of 81 dollars to the Ottawa Food Bank over the next 9 weeks as a way to apologize for my earlier disrespect to him, and as a way to seek to begin to improve my relationship with him?
b) Would the Moon accept donations of 81 dollars to the Adopt Me Cat Rescue Foundation for the next 9 weeks as a way to reach out to her and ask for her guidance and blessings in improving my life?
no subject
Date: 2023-05-22 03:39 am (UTC)For the first one, they provide Quert or Delight ill-dignified, which indicates that a monetary donation is not the preferred form of charity. When I ask "Should the donations be in actual shelf-stable food?" they provide Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. My thoughts are perhaps someone in that organization is corrupt and misuses monetary donations. It is difficult to find honest charities these days: lots of greedy people lining their pockets.
For the second one, the Ogham provide Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. This probably indicates some more corruption, or another invisible problem that makes a monetary donation problematic. When I ask "Can he/she buy them cat food or other items on their wishlist instead?" The Ogham provide Nuin or Communication well-dignified, meaning that you might consider telling them you prefer to donate physical gifts for the cats and their fosters/adopters. When I recently adopted my newest cat Jujube, someone had crocheted a bunch of beautiful mats for cats to sleep on, basically small rag rugs. They gave me one of them with Jujube on her adoption day.

Date: 2023-05-21 02:04 pm (UTC)May I ask what your ogham have to say about dealing with the issues I am having with my partner? Sorry to be vague, but I'd just like to ask the ogham's advice on how to handle things...he (my partner) seems to be having a bit of an existential crisis (which is impacting our relationship), and I would like to know if there is one, anything I can do to "help him help himself", and two, if I need to also be careful to protect myself from anything?

no subject
Date: 2023-05-22 03:47 am (UTC)Sorry to hear that! My Ogham say you can help your partner by helping yourself. They provide Huath or Obstacles well-dignified, which means that his issues have to do with willpower and motivation, as well as imbalances where holding himself accountable are concerned. The Ogham are saying that you need to live by example, presenting a sane attitude towards diligence and neither working yourself to death in a punishing way nor sitting back and allowing life to pass you by. Facing your own fears in discursive meditation and settling your own scores through diligent work will go a long way in role modeling the influence he does not realize he needs.
As for what you need to be careful about, they provide Mór or Sea Change well-dignified, meaning that a wave of relative good fortune could make you feel spoiled and like it is going to last forever. Any respite needs to be treated as temporary -- enjoy it, but be conservative and wise.

Date: 2023-05-21 02:34 pm (UTC)To share: I inch closer to closing out debts to particular persons, one down last week, another this week, and one more next week.
To ask: What is it that I need to know for this week, according to the Ogham.
no subject
Date: 2023-05-22 03:53 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified. Watch out for missed opportunities, failures to connect, and misunderstandings this week. Hopefully by being given warning, you can avoid any mishaps or disappointments. Fearn can also talk about impatience and frustration: don't allow them to get the better of you.
For the Situation, you drew Ioho or Grace well-dignified. Though you could take a different road, you choose to gracefully let go of what is not meant to be or what is no longer meant for you this week. Because this is Situation, it could also be referring to someone in your inner circle, meaning they show that they can gracefully let go of what is not meant for them.
For the Outcome, you drew Saille or Sensitivity well-dignified. If you have a significant other, your relationship is harmonious and peaceful this week because of your sensitive nature. You bend in the right ways, but you are not so foolish as to bend over backwards and snap.

Date: 2023-05-21 05:26 pm (UTC)What should I be aware of for the upcoming week?
Thanks,
Nona
no subject
Date: 2023-05-22 04:00 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Coll or Wisdom ill-dignified. You will likely be tempted to say or do more than is necessary this week, so keep your mouth shut if it decides it would like to run and take the time you need before volunteering help. There could also be a situation where you are casting your pearls before swine or when you are frustrated or impeded by your lack of knowledge.
For the Situation, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. You will reap what you have sown in the form of good fortune this week -- sometimes the fruits of your labors will be physical but others come in more subtle forms such as friendly relationships and harmony within the home.
For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. Straight up, this could be an indication of physical danger so be aware and on guard this week. Other than that, Tinne often talks about being paranoid where it is not useful or the opposite imbalance of being imprudent with resources.
Next Steps
Date: 2023-05-21 06:55 pm (UTC)I hope you are well and healthy.
I am looking for solutions for my son's injury. Here are the questions for the Ogham:
Will the injury stop his career?
How to look for a doctor in my home state?
Would it be better to travel to Europe to go to see the doctor we know there (this seems extreme at the moment).
Thank you and Blessings!

Re: Next Steps
Date: 2023-05-22 04:08 am (UTC)It sounds like you've got a tough week ahead of you, so instead of answering your list, I am giving you a general weekly reading.
For the You position, you drew Huath or Obstacles ill-dignified. It is very easy to apply too much or too little force this week, so I would suggest propitiating and praying to Ares, who may be willing to help you with this set of issues. Overall, when I have worked with Ares he has helped me resolve my own bad karma for horrible mistakes I made when I was much younger and helped me see destructive patterns for which I was projecting the shadow instead of working on myself.
For the Situation, they provide Ioho or Grace well-dignified. You or someone close to you lets go of what is not meant to be or what is no longer meant to be. Ioho talks about accepting an ending.
For the Outcome, you drew Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. Issues will be resolved by a willingness to work diligently and slowly towards an outcome. By a deep understanding that Rome was not built in a day and that slow and relentless daily work is what must be taken as a commitment, you will sanely navigate a way out of the current drama.

no subject
Date: 2023-05-22 04:18 am (UTC)This week may be a bit of a doozy: all three cards were ill-dignified. That said, I have had some of the best days of my life on all ill-dig readings (I read for myself every day) so make of that what you will!
For the You position, you drew Nuin or Communication. Tech may go south, transactions may be stymied, and overall the world of strangers could behave badly. Keep an eye out for anything aberrant, check your receipts and bank accounts, and don't expect good service if you have to get something done via technology. Also watch your own behavior for the pitfalls of autistic literalism.
For the Situation, you drew Saille or Sensitivity. It will be especially easy to either ignore the emotions of others or to make too much of them this week, so cultivating awareness of where you end and the people around you begin is extremely important this week.
For the Outcome, you drew Mór or Sea Change. This is a card of the collective astral being a crapfest. This isn't your fault and you cannot do anything to change it. If you do a banishing ritual, that will help this week, and if you don't, consider doing some natural magic or at the very least praying to some deities for assistance.

2. Do the Ogham think that what I am concerned about will come to pass?
no subject
Date: 2023-05-22 04:21 am (UTC)My Ogham like the course of action. They provide Muin or Harvest well-dignified.
As for the Situation you are concerned about, they give an affirmative that they believe it will happen. They provide Beith or Beginnings well-dignified. But Beith being a card of intention and formation means that it could easily change or not be what you expect.

Date: 2023-05-21 07:25 pm (UTC)I hope summer is treating you well up in Illinois!
Q- A friend of mine recently didn't react well to a group discussion, and what seemed to me like gentle criticism/advice, regarding his dating patterns and reactivity/intolerance towards any potential mention of astrology. He has been a bit passive agressive/unresponsive to myself and others since.
What should I know about the situation and is there anything the Ogham advise we do to resolve it?
Thanks
Tamanous
no subject
Date: 2023-05-22 04:28 am (UTC)For resolving it, my Ogham suggest you have some dialogues with your Holy Guardian Angel. They provide Luis or Protection well-dignified, which also seems to say "temporarily stay away" from your friend who has decided to be an ass about your criticism.

Date: 2023-05-22 03:33 pm (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. The very presence of this card can indicate danger -- it is referring to protection, after all! So be on your guard and don't take any risks to save time or for convenience's sake. That said, this week offers an opportunity to communicate with your Higher Self a.k.a. Holy Guardian Angel. In order to identify the HGA, I often look for moments where I can see humor being poked at me from what seems to be a higher being: it's not mean-spirited; it's obviously meant to keep me humble and down to earth.
For the Situation, you drew Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. Be aware of your own bad habits and the contagion of bad habits, negativity, and misery from someone in your inner circle. Grumpiness often has to do with clinging to a previous investment or behavior that used to yield results but is now becoming onerous, always look for the shadow that you or someone else may be projecting. A look at the shadow can reveal much.
For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience well-dignified. What has not killed you truly has made you stronger at this point, and you are learning to see with new eyes what is necessary to survive and thrive -- it's not what most people think.

no subject
Date: 2023-05-22 03:41 pm (UTC)My Ogham give you Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified in response to your question on how to proceed. My thoughts on this are that you've laid some truths out bare and raw, and though they are true, it wasn't the place or the time to air them. Obviously you cannot go back in time and change what you said or did, but you can resolve not to do that anymore. The next time you have a truth-bomb or a stinging set of observations, keep them to yourself and meditate upon them thoroughly with the guidance of your Holy Guardian Angel before you put them on the table, which may be never. In the meantime, be compulsively grateful and thankful for all the small blessings down to the most mundane such as a locking door and a flushing toilet, but especially be grateful for your loved ones, because it's like I said on my Dream of Flight album, oddly composed when I was still atheist/agnostic: cherish all that you see and you hear, for this moment will soon disappear. Being grateful at the fundamental, everyday level can help you work through most errors.

Date: 2023-05-21 11:08 pm (UTC)I don’t know how accurate the Ogham were last week as I was taking a medicine that pretty much put me to sleep all week. 😴. Sonkitten says as far as he noticed everything was fine.
Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2023-05-22 03:49 pm (UTC)You drew three cards this week, this time all well-dignified.
For the You card, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. This week offers an opportunity to contemplate the flows of generosity within your life -- by appreciating your own gifts, you sublimate them. Notice what happens to people who don't appreciate their gifts in contrast.
For the Situation, you drew Ur or Intimacy. Close relationships are harmonious this week. Knowing when to stop talking has a great deal to do with keeping things running smoothly long term. This is a good week to express your gratitude to your friends and those closest to you in whatever way you see fit.
For the Outcome, you drew Straif or Resilience. The old saying goes "getting old sucks" but it isn't so bad when you consider how many naive mistakes you avoid simply by virtue of the fact you are no longer young. This is a good week to gather or make some preparations for harder times, always keeping a healthy perspective about worry. Worry is good, but you need to keep it on a tight leash.

Date: 2023-05-22 03:58 pm (UTC)Are the wokesters who have gained prominence in AODA doing a daily banishing ritual, divination, and discursive meditation? Which deities are they invoking, if any?
Where is Archdruid Dana O'Driscoll in all of this? Has she turned into a wokester? Was she the one who signed off on "Climate Anxiety Resources" and allowing a Satanist into the AODA?

Date: 2023-05-22 07:16 pm (UTC)Re: invoking, my bet is no Gods at all, just powers--that's how the New Candidate's Guide I received teaches the SoP, and the version that's on the website. As for the current Archdruid, well, it's her job to lead the order, so I have to presume she's the one who led it where it's ended up .

Date: 2023-05-22 12:15 am (UTC)1. What do I need to know in order to make the best out of this week?
2. It is my current understanding that whatever I'm going through in this incarnation is (for the sake of brevity, as well as lack of a more accurate phrase) "meant to be," and that I'm here to work out the lessons I've been assigned. With all that being said, may the Ogham comment on whether I'm actually now "willing" ("doing the work"), or whether I'm still being stubborn/resisting/being "willful"?
Thanks!

Re: Week 21
Date: 2023-05-22 04:11 pm (UTC)The Ogham say it should be a balanced week for you with some opportunities for personal development. All three cards were well-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Beith or Intention. Well-dignified, this means that you choose the most important and valuable directions and you follow them this week, perhaps at the expense of other stuff you are interested in but not entirely passionate about. This sort of directionality can go a long way in teaching you about your soul's unique and beautiful potential.
For the Situation, you drew Gort or Perseverance. In the end, it is diligent, relentless work that carves the Grand Canyon out of a chunk of land, one drop of water at a time. You are given a bird's eye perspective this week of the work you've got both ahead and behind. Preserve this important snapshot and understand you are always a work in progress. Go forward with assurance that you will prevail in the very, very long run.
For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret. The benefit of having been around the block a few times is you can see trouble coming a mile off. When you face these bad potentials without running away or denying them, you have a much better chance of ameliorating the situation or avoiding it altogether. Prevent what you can due to the glimpses you are provided this week by your higher self.
My Ogham think that you're still resisting the Work a bit. They provide Tinne or Defense ill-dignified, meaning that part of you is still defensive about facing the music. If you're anything like me, this not only has to do with dumb mistakes you made in your past during this incarnation, but also the legacy of past lives. All I can suggest here is once daily discursive meditation, banishing ritual, and continuing to do a daily divination for yourself. You have a lot of silt to sift through before you start accumulating a decent amount of gold.

Date: 2023-05-22 04:22 pm (UTC)My Ogham forecast a relatively pleasant week for you and the family: all three cards were well-dignified.
For the You or most immediate position, they provide Straif or Resilience. You are able to coast a bit this week on resources you've put in place for yourself. This week offers a good opportunity to take a mental snapshot of functioning, realtime resilience in your family and how much you need versus how much you want.
For the Situation, you drew Ailm or Transcendence. Though you may have to deal with trolls or drama this week, the Ogham say that one or more of you will take the high road and this will be sufficiently contagious in order to make the best out of circumstances. Hopefully there is no drama at all and your transcendence can be entirely focused on gratitude.
For the Outcome, you drew Onn or Community. This week you are able to convene with friends, family, and neighbors and to understand your place and your niche among them. It's great to have a niche! It is a good week to converse with land spirits and the manitou of household objects, vehicles, rooms, and plants. No spirit should be considered too small to be grateful for: One rhyme I say when I clean the toilet every day is "Toilet, toilet handling waste, thank you for your saving grace."
