Ogham Readings on Sundays
Aug. 19th, 2023 10:48 pm
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.
Stuck
Date: 2023-08-20 10:35 pm (UTC)I feel completely stuck and trapped. What do the Ogham think I could do about it?
I also saw the "Straif" rune as a sticker on someone's rear car window the other day, which was odd. Not sure what to make of that, or if it was related to anything.
Thanks.

Date: 2023-08-21 01:57 am (UTC)My Ogham give you three cards of advice: interestingly, all were well-dignified, which tells me they think you'll get yourself unstuck.
For the You or most immediate card, they provide Beith or Intention/Beginnings. The time to start getting unstuck is now, as you have realized. Most people never get as far as admitting that something has got to change. Beith is the ultimate card of starting with yourself. Take what you hate about your life, negative traits of other people, and bad habits and be the change you want to see in the world. I hate driving, so though I cannot quit driving, I can lessen and limit the amount of time I spend doing it. It's not a complete cessation but it is a step in the right direction. I really hate gentrification, so I resolve never to pour money into unnecessary home additions/acquisitions and to disdain money I did not earn; instead I envision myself living in small spaces for the rest of my life. I hate it when people want something for nothing, so I never play the lottery and I will never invest in the stock market even if I end up having the money to do it.
For the Situation, you drew Mór or Sea Change. The weird sighting of that rune/Ogham is calling you to meditate on it. I go into more about Straif here: https://druidogham.wordpress.com/the-fews-water/straif/ Effectively, Straif is learning to integrate your own shadow. Let's say circumstances were different and you had to fight your way out of this. Where does that take you? What are you capable of? You are the captain of the ship. What are all the potential outcomes of leaving, including poverty and destitution? What is the best case scenario? What does working it out look like?
For the Outcome, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene. Moderation is a viable path. Splitting it down the middle is OK; everyone will adapt. There is a possibility of a clean break, but there is also an equal possibility of taking a different perspective and healing from within. Learning to partition yourself and your thoughts here is important: you don't ever need to speak everything on your mind and you don't owe people your truth all the time. It is fine to curate what you say for the party you are speaking to; no, it does not make you a sociopath. Politeness isn't just for strangers.
