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.
Please note I will be taking off the week of September 10, 2023. Readings will resume as usual September 17, 2023.
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.

Date: 2023-08-13 06:13 am (UTC)1. What should I know to make the best of my next numerological cycle? Your Ogham knows what time period I’m referring to.
2. What Ogham letter should I study for this upcoming cycle? I’m re-reviewing your Ogham material and have found asking via divination which symbol I should study for divination actually helps quite a bit - often the symbol you’re advised to study captures events on the week you’re studying it!
2. I’ve hurt one friend of mine indirectly recently. I didn’t do anything actually bad to them… I guess the best way to put it is I have unintentionally set up a situation where they can make a bad karmic choice, and that’s on me. I’d like to ask your Ogham what I can do to make rectitudes for this mistake I’ve made.
Thanks as always.
Week 33
Date: 2023-08-13 07:14 am (UTC)1. What do I need to know in order to make the best out of this week?
2. I have a hypothesis "A." May the Ogham comment on this hypothesis?
Thanks!

Date: 2023-08-13 11:24 am (UTC)Last week was quiet but there WAS a lot of paperwork.
Yesterday Sonkitten was rummaging in the freezer and, in effect, (unintentionally) stacked it. In due time, I came along, opened the freezer, and a 5-pound pork roast fell out on my foot—nothing broken, but a huge bruise. I guess that was my weekly physical danger.

Date: 2023-08-13 06:04 pm (UTC)After much deliberation about what I'm after and what is best for me, I began pursuit of new romance after a devastating divorce. I gained a clear picture of what I'm after, and had no luck finding anyone even close. Then divination strongly indicated planetary charity in honor of Aphrodite. After two weeks of that (using your recording of the orphic hymn as part of my ritual!) the most incredible woman came into my life, meeting every wish I have. I live in a low population area, so the chances of this happening are basically non-existent.
Things were going wonderfully, but suddenly things took a confusing turn, she retreated without any chance to discuss, and I'm not sure what to do now. So my question is, how should I approach the situation with my love interest to arrive at the relationship that I desire with her?
This Week

Date: 2023-08-14 01:01 am (UTC)The upcoming cycle looks good in general: all three cards were well-dignified. That said, all well-dig readings are not a guarantee of a drama-free period, only that you stand a good chance of triumphing and instinctively knowing your best choice when trouble rears its ugly head.
For the You position, you drew Gort or Perseverance. You show you can do what it takes to survive, but you keep it in check by staying well out of survival mode unless it is needed. It is all too common these days for people to be trapped in the Apocalypse meme, always worrying about an extreme increase or decrease (or both) of fortune somewhere down the road. You have a good chance of living in the moment.
For the Situation, you drew Phagos or Teaching. Because this is in Situation, this is likely talking about being able to share your wisdom and gifts to a receptive or at least openminded audience. This can also talk about deep learning on your own part and the rebirth that comes from immersion.
For the Outcome, you drew Mór or Sea Change. Your general neck of the astral is less septic than most for the era in question. You can take advantage of this by analyzing your dreams during this period, looking at long term plans, and glancing into the past to mine it for observations and information.
For 2, the Ogham give you Duir or Gifts ill-dignified. You can find my study of that tree letter here: https://druidogham.wordpress.com/the-fews-fire/duir/
For 2b, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. The Ogham are stating the obvious: there has been a bad harvest, which most likely refers to the karma you mentioned. The Ogham recommend you stay out of it as much as is humanly possible. Say to yourself: "I don't do that anymore" and leave it alone. Aside from praying to a deity, there is not much you can do to help or fix this.
Re: Week 33
Date: 2023-08-14 01:12 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards for this week.
For the You position, they provide Ioho or Grace ill-dignified, which indicates that you'll have trouble resting -- insomnia, tired & wired, overwork, pain, or you'll have the opposite problem of lethargy and difficulty getting a move on. Ioho in this dignity can also be talking about clinging to what was not meant for you in this incarnation or pining after what was not meant to be. The best thing you can do in such a case is some serious meditation about how to maturely handle a long-term scenario where you've been wishing for.
For the Situation, you drew Koad or Confluence well-dignified. A convergence of factors goes your way, providing temporary balance. It is a good week to take a snapshot in time of this convergence and examine it for how much of it was you, how much of it was other forces in the world, and how much of it was attributable to forces unknown.
For the Outcome, you drew Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. You may be expecting too much, too little, or an imbalanced mixture of both from other people and various life situations. Boredom is often the harvest of wanting life to be more dramatic than it is, while if you only knew how to love the moment for what it is, you might find everything you need is right in front of you. Perhaps it has been there all along.
For the Hypothesis, my Ogham like it and think you may be on to something. They give you Onn or Community well-dignified, which means they are trying to say it at least applies to your local group of people. As for the whole world being affected, chances are slim.
Re: Princess Cutekitten
Date: 2023-08-14 01:22 am (UTC)Le sigh... the Ogham say it's another potential danger week. All three cards are ill-dignified.
For the You position, you drew Huath or Obstacles, which is one we have seen frequently in your readings. I will utter my usual warning about physical danger. That said, Huath mostly refers to imbalances of Martial force -- if you are too forceful, you wind up being a bull in a china shop. If you are more of a doormat/wallflower, you will get run over. Stand your ground but admit you could be wrong.
For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. This one could be talking about smothering another person or that person being dependent. It can also talk about being smothered. Either way, don't do others' work for them too much -- sometimes they need a bit of adversity to feel independent and alive. This is a good week to take in synchronicities designed to teach you about the nature of giving and receiving.
For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense. There is no way to be safe from some things in this world and the only thing we can do is to accept it. It's not healthy to live in fear of something being taken away. Mentally train yourself to figure out what you would do without it -- for me, the luxury of having grown up in a stable home made me defensive and fearful about being homeless for a while. I had to face a few of my fears about that in order to be mentally healthy.

Date: 2023-08-14 01:42 am (UTC)The Ogham give you three cards this week. All are well-dignified. Though this does not guarantee a great week by any means, it means that you are able to counter drama with good decisions and instincts.
For the You position, you drew Tinne or Defense. Tinne is one of the danger cards in my Ogham no matter what the dignity, so be on the lookout for physical danger this week. The best defense is not using your defenses until you need them, and we can only do that by being willing to integrate our shadow-selves. Knowing how bad it has to get before you reach your threshold is very important. Define your boundaries well ahead of time.
For the Situation, you drew Ur or Intimacy. There is a time and a place for everything and every word. If you show restraint where it is needed, it will be especially rewarding this week. It's often much better not to say everything that is on your mind. If you have someone with whom you are close, this relationship shows a good chance of being harmonious and fulfilling this week.
For the Outcome, you drew Beith or Beginnings. You get your priorities straight this week and only pour your energy where it is needed, wanted, or beneficial. This is a good week to observe the usual distractions that try to pull you off your true path. What are they and are there agendas behind them? Who benefits from those agendas?

Date: 2023-08-14 02:09 am (UTC)They give you three cards. All are well-dignified.
For the You position, they provide Eadha or Limits. You keep your expectations in check and you make the most out of what you are given at any given time, which is an excellent combination.
For the Situation, you drew Quert or Delight. This card says that you will be able to relax a bit no matter what the ostensible purpose of this trip may be, and that you will be courteous and be treated with courtesy.
For the Outcome, you drew Ailm or Transcendence, which indicates that you'll be your best self even if you are faced with a bad situation or people behaving badly. Hopefully you won't have any turbulence at all.
Re: Pursuit?
Date: 2023-08-14 02:28 am (UTC)For the You position, you drew Ioho or Grace. This one is a clear message that you need to let go in the "If you love somebody, set them free" sense of the term. Though she may be back in her own time, it isn't going to happen if you push.
For the Situation, you drew Coll or Wisdom. Yes, it may have been something you said, but at any rate, you have to speak your mind sometimes. Relationships are a bit cat and mouse but at some point, we have to stop playing games. If she reaches out to you, which my Ogham do not think is likely, you need to be kind, mature, and courteous. There can be no anger or frustration: you really need to embody saintliness and Jesus-like patience.
For the Outcome, you drew Gort or Perseverance. You may be waiting for the wrong things. I did magic to Jupiter to help my commercial studio a few years ago. The magic worked and I drew some students with obvious Jupiterian synchronicities. For a while, I thought I could keep the commercial space afloat because of it. It was not to be and I walked away from the commercial space with great sadness. Years later, I'm glad I walked away and things are much better now, but back at that point it was terrible to absorb the fact that I may never again have my own commercial space. My husband and I put a great deal of blood, sweat, and tears into the commercial space for 13 years, but had I persevered with that vision, it is likely that I would be in complete financial ruins right now with no time for anything except running my business just to keep ahead of the repo man. So the way I see it, there is a path that is better for you, but right now you may not be able to see it because you are in the thick of your dealings with this particular lady.
Re: This Week
Date: 2023-08-14 02:35 am (UTC)Thank you!
You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. The Ogham are clear: you don't have time for what you're not passionate about... not this week, and maybe not ever. That makes this week an excellent time to get rid of old stuff. Yes, you could sell it, but that also takes time and effort. Give it away with joy and the gifts come back to you seven times over. There is also a chance you'll be butthurt about something -- invoke your maturity instead.
For the Situation, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. The best feeling is to be able to deal with conflict or circumvent it entirely because you've been there, done that, and bought the Sno-globe. There is nothing wrong with making mistakes -- that is the whole point of incarnation, from the looks of things. The point is to learn from them.
For the Outcome, you drew Mór or Sea Change. Lady luck is on your side. Clarity, mental fortitude, and strength in the face of adversity are all your strong suits this week. This clear view from the astral makes it an excellent time to observe your dreams and to get ahead of stuff that normally feels like it can drag you off into the land of despair.

Date: 2023-08-14 02:50 am (UTC)You drew three cards this relationship.
For the You position, you drew Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified. This relationship will dredge up a great deal of emotions that you will need to deal with, both good and bad. You need to address these in meditation and become the master of them. When things do inevitably hit a rough patch, you will have the foresight and wisdom to say and do the right things.
For the Situation, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. In order for the new to happen, we must let go of the old. Nothing is born without something else dying in this world, and the Hermetic law of "as above, so below" surely applies in this case. Not everything is meant to be and not everything plays out the way you thought it would.
For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. You have been right all along to play it somewhat safe and now this pays off. There is good defense and there is paranoia -- paranoia often results in vulnerability because the attack can come from anywhere, including within. Safety and trust are important here. What does it mean to trust? Why are you trustworthy?

Date: 2023-08-14 02:59 am (UTC)You drew three cards this week.
For the You position, you drew Koad or Confluence well-dignified. You are in a good place this week, and though some of this is sheer luck of the draw, some of it is your own smarts and good planning and you need to give yourself kudos for that. Overall, the snapshot is balanced. You would do well to meditate on what makes this week a balanced one.
For the Situation, you drew Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. It's very easy to cause yourself etheric problems, including physical illness, by having too much stuff and too many things to do. I know this problem well because it's practically the story of my life! That said, you need to pare down, get rid of the stuff that owns you as much as you own it. Being sensitive, considerate, and mindful of others does not have to cross over into being dependent, grumpy, and whiny -- because this is in Situation, this dependent, grumpy, and whiny state could refer to someone you must deal with personally.
For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. Tinne can indicate physical danger in my Ogham, no matter what the dignity, so please be on your guard. You have good defenses this week that hopefully will not be needed. If you have a banishing ritual or prayers or both in place of protection, they are working. The best defense is to be ready for anything by thinking it through like a good Stoic... well ahead of time.

Date: 2023-08-14 03:12 am (UTC)This week may have its challenges: all three cards were ill-dignified.
For the You or most immediate position, you drew Eadha or Limits. It's important to work within limits this week, because pushing them will not end well. Keep your expectations low and your head down for the most part. That said, it will be tempting for you or other family members to be bratty, lax, or lazy -- exercise diligence and tough love where needed and don't let anybody push you around.
For the Situation, you drew Quert or Delight. It's possible that someone from inside or outside of the family is being rude and unappreciative. It's also possible that the urge to live in the Land of Perfect Precious is going awry and someone needs to unclench and earth it out. Another potential is straight up etheric starvation. I know mine has been very bad lately. I have been countering it with lots of time in the garden puttering around, lemon balm and mint-caraway tea (both are nervines and help re-adjust digestion) and home cooking.
For the Outcome, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene. One or more members of the family may not feel good this week, and/or may have some immunity issues like hay fever. Once again, I suggest up to 4 cups a day of herb teas to ameliorate the etheric effects of driving (being in a car or near traffic causes etheric stripping), eating well, getting sunlight, and taking a quality multivitamin once a day.
