kimberlysteele | Ogham Readings on Sundays

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:

1: What should I know to make the best of this week?

2: I begin a new job this week. What should I know to perform my best in this position?

Thanks!

Hi Dan,

This week may be a bit of a doozy: all three cards were ill-dignified. That said, I do a daily reading for myself and I have had some of the best days of my life on all ill-dig readings and some of the worst ones on all well-dig readings, so try to use the information to head off any imbalances at the pass.

For the You position, you drew Onn or Community. Your community may be expecting too much of you and/or you may be expecting too much of it. I often draw this card when my neighbors have a loud party or when store clerks and other drivers are unusually surly. When it's me expecting too much, perhaps I have not scheduled enough time for someone or am double-booked, or I send an email with the wrong date listed for an upcoming recital! (I recently did that very thing....Doofus!)

For the Situation, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. This can be a card of smothering or molly-coddling. If you feel fussed-over and throttled by someone's attention, this card will tend to show up. Or it could be you doing the fussing. People often confuse worrying about someone else with love. There is no virtue in obsessive worrying and it is often a symptom of deep insecurity on the worrier's part. What the worrier needs to do is spend time improving themselves instead of abjectly fretting over the business of others; plus worry is a thought-stopper that replaces genuine sympathy and empathy. Worry is masturbatory in many ways; perhaps I will write an essay about that at some point. The other potential for excess Uilleand energy is actually a good one: you act generously and give from the heart. If you do this in excess, despite it being self-sacrifice, it will start bouncing back your way in an undeniable and palpable way. Generosity is the key to happiness in this sense.

For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret. You may be beating yourself up too hard for something in the past or perhaps someone is trying to rub your nose in your mea culpas. Better to say "I am not proud of that, but I don't do that anymore" when you pray to your deity of choice and let them help you ameliorate that karma. Oppositely, perhaps you're running away from some bad thing you did and you need to face it. The remedy, once again, is an honest approach and saying "I don't do that anymore".

For your new job, well, congratulations! The Ogham give you Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified. What that means is you need to be very humble even about matters about which you are an expert. You might have to deal with one or more officious people who has a compulsive need to feel large and in charge. It may also be frustrating to confront what you do not know.

Hi Kimberley,

Thanks as always for this space and for doing these readings.

Just a follow up on my questions last week. My former partner ended our relationship yesterday and decided that she didn't want to pursue relationship counselling. I think in this instance Ioho signified endings in a fairly literal sense.

The third Ogham drawn, Eadha, was likely a reference to the limits of my former partner in coming to terms with her previous trauma and her willingness to address the in counselling. I believe she found it more comforting to continue the trend her life has followed to date than face things head on.

I have some more questions this week, if I may.

1. What are the chances of reconciliation and our relationship overcoming the current issues?

2. What does the Ogham say to beware of in the coming negotiations of splitting assets?

3. If reconciliation is unlikely, what advice does the Ogham offer for me to meet someone who is better suited to me as a partner?

Thanks as always,

P.

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi P.,

Ugh, that sucks. I agree with you -- it looks like the Ogham were trying to tell you the relationship was literally ending and I did not catch it. But Ioho being well-dignified indicates the ending is probably for the best.

For Question 1, chances of reconciliation, the Ogham give Koad or Confluence ill-dignified. There is almost no chance you can save this relationship as several factors have combined to make its resurrection impossible. I am going to guess she has the problem I described in my last post, and no, I don't mean compulsive masturbation, what I am talking about is the astral image of The One to whom no mortal man can measure up. Many, many women have a problem with the addictive obsession with The One, and when they cannot have him, they often react with hatred and disdain for any candidate who falls short.

My Ogham say that you'll be able to split assets fairly, but it is going to take a long time. They give Gort or Perseverance well-dignified, which indicates that you will make the best out of it. It is very possible that this decision to break up (of hers) will be better for you financially in the long term. As for what lies ahead for her financially in the long term, I did not ask the Ogham and I will not ask that unless she herself puts in a request.

For meeting someone new, my Ogham say to stay the heck away from that for a while. They give Beith or Intention ill-dignified. As you have sustained a great deal of astral damage and most likely etheric starvation from this event and events to come, you won't be in good condition to start a new relationship. I recommend starting a daily ritual of thanking your living environment, transportation, and household objects almost constantly. If you need a place to start, clean one corner, such as your stove and sink or your desk and then thank it. To seal the "deal", place a decorative object in a prominent place, for instance, the kitchen could get a new towel as a finishing touch or the desk could get a new pencil and pen holder. This kind of gratitude and appreciation building will magnify your power to attract a good mate later on when you are ready.

Hi Kimberly,

1. What do I need to know in order to make the best out of the next 2 weeks?

2. May the Ogham comment on what remains of the rest of my life?

I don't mean to turn my question into a therapy session, and I'm sorry if this is TMI, but I feel like I should provide some context for a more accurate interpretation of the Ogham result, which is basically: I have spent too much time in my current incarnation avoiding being an adult male: 1) often exhibiting the extreme forms of Puer Aeternus (like oversleeping, procrastination, and obsession with airy fantasies) that you detailed in a Nov. 23, 2022 blog post, and 2) often desiring to change my sex (essentially an "exotic fetishizing" of my female life in a previous incarnation).

Especially after reading JMG's recent Wed. blog post about karma, I am afraid that I spent all the good karma I had accumulated in previous lives and am now primed for a very hard landing as a result of avoiding responsibility.

That being said, I readily acknowledge that you stated what is required to get out of the state of Puer Aeternus. But to re-phrase my question in high school terms, will the end of my life be like being able to celebrate graduation with my peers, or will I have to toil away in summer school and miss the ceremony?

Hi Eugene,

You drew three cards for the upcoming fortnight.

For the You position, you drew Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. You'll have unusual clarity over the next two weeks. The astral weather in your general vicinity is clearing up. As an anecdote, the astral weather in my area is unusually clear lately and we have blue skies to match. I went shopping yesterday and there were lots of people in happy moods. I reminded the cashier at the dollar store that I had three plastic trays and not one (they nest together) and I could tell she was made happier by the fact I did not try to steal them. There was a very happy couple in front of me at another store joking and generally being merry with another cheerful cashier. When the astral weather is like this, I'll often do up to three discursive meditations per day instead of one or two and I almost uniformly find they are unusually productive.

For the Situation, you drew Fearn or Bridge well-dignified. This week starts to show the way out of the long-standing funk you've been in. Digging yourself out of any hole is a long process, but if you are willing to do the work, the light at the end of the tunnel starts showing up more and more. This is a good week to get some fresh air, to teach yourself a new skill, and to be grateful for your unique circumstances.

For the Outcome, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. In order to grow, you have to accept limits and work with what you have. You may feel alone and isolated in your plight, which I believe has to do with accepting limits, but the rejection of limits is reliably common in this age. You'll make progress this couple of weeks as long as you are patient, keep your expectations realistic, and work with what you have.

As for your last question, I'm not sure I understand what "graduation" with your "peers" means. There is no graduation. I am still encountering the karmic consequences of when I was incarnated a serial killer hundreds of years ago. I don't think I will be done with those consequences for a long time. When my killer instinct does start getting the better of me, I can either choose to wallow in it or I can say "I don't do that anymore" and move on in earnest. My nightly dreams are either pedestrian or unpleasant -- I rarely have what others would call a good dream -- because I have not done enough work on myself to make my dreams a more consistently elevated experience. I have asked the Ogham if my dreams will ever improve, and they gave me a similar answer to the one they just gave you. They'll improve as long as I do the work on myself that makes them improve... or if I don't do the work, they'll stay exactly the same.

The Ogham also did not like your question about the rest of your life and they have given you Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. This is not a damnation of the rest of your life; it's more like the Ogham telling you to rethink the question. They are saying that in your case, your stuff owns you more than you own it. Pare the stuff down and be extremely generous with what little you have left and you will find it sublimates and returns to you in more benevolent forms to the power of seven.

Could the Ogham comment on my employer's relationship with their new landlord?

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Anon,

My Ogham say it's decent. They give Nuin or Communication well-dignified, which is an indication of strangers who have a healthy respect for one another enough to work together.

From: (Anonymous)

Hi there -

May I have a general "what's up" for this week, please?

Thank you!!

Jan

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Jan,

You drew three cards the two upcoming weeks. I am reading for a longer period as I will be taking next week off to host my students' music recital.

For the You position, you drew Duir or Gifts well-dignified. Duir is always a good card even when ill-dignified. When it is "upright", it's even better. You appreciate your gifts and share them, which comes back to you in the form of benevolent energy much faster than usual for this era. If you can cultivate gratitude for all the little things most people take for granted (including the things you do well because of Divine blessing and the way things worked out) you will see them sublimate on a much faster time-scale than is typical.

For the Situation, you drew Ur or Intimacy well-dignified. Close relationships are quite harmonious if you have them. The foundation of gratitude from the previous card helps this immensely. It is a good week to edit your speech and keep your secrets even from people you love the most. The lesson of this card is that what you reveal to other people is often more important to a long, lasting intimacy than what you do reveal. As much as we want to pour our souls into others, there is no such thing as a desirable Vulcan mind meld. What you keep to yourself is what preserves a relationship, so hold it tight and edit anything that escapes your lips without mercy. Virtue happens through actions and not words, at any rate.

For the Outcome, you drew Ngetal or Hygiene ill-dignified. Straight up, this one warns of feeling poorly or catching a nasty bug, or even physical danger, so be aware of all three. Take a good multivitamin supplement, drink plain herbal tea, get into the sunlight, do regular gentle cardio exercise, and don't take dumb risks such as running in socks across a wood floor or climbing sketchy ladders.

Hello Kimberly,

About a month ago I visited a couple of tarot card readers, and both told me that I am going to meet someone soon and maybe even have children...

I am single and, although still hopeful, I had kinda resigned myself to being alone for a while. I had gone to them more or less on a whim and was kinda hoping they would tell me something about some of the more mystical stuff I had just begun pursuing.

I am wondering what your Ogham have to say about it. (I am male, by the way.)

Thank you!

From:

kimberlysteele

Oy vey, my Ogham thinks those tarot readers were wrong. They seem to think you've got some negative karma to work on, and your choice to start tackling it via mysticism is going to pack a wallop. Nevertheless, this is definitely the time to ask the gods for help, so developing a prayer relationship with one or more deities is a very good strategy.

For the You position, they provide Mór or Sea Change ill-dignified. The bad news is that you are going through a rough slog right now. The good news is that it isn't your fault -- it has more to do with collective circumstances and that feeling of being born in the wrong era having some truth to it. The seas around you are rough, so keep your expectations low, be thankful for what is going right (and I mean thankful down to the last detail like thanking household objects every day) and reach out to deities who are by default smarter, older, and better than us humans.

For the Situation which I am taking to mean "Will I ever meet the right one and have children?" they say it is not likely anytime soon. They give Tinne or Defense ill-dignified, meaning that the defenses of your potential mates are too thick to penetrate. There is also the real possibility that you or she may not be fertile enough to do the job, provided you find her in the first place. If you ever get to that point where you meet the right woman and create a stable home, please consider adoption. I am adopted and though not all adoptees are grateful, I am immensely grateful to my parents for adopting me and my brother. I have two brothers -- one who is adopted like me and one who was born the usual way. As for the only secret formula I know attracting and keeping that special person, I have an essay on that!

https://kimberlysteele.dreamwidth.org/83892.html

For the Outcome or Karma, they give Onn or Community ill-dignified. This one points to your local community being wrong for you and you for it. You might want to look into hiring a good, accredited astrologer to do a reading/readings about either staying where you are or re-locating to various places. I am half-Japanese and at a couple of points have considered relocating to Japan as supposedly I can become a citizen simply because I have the right genetics, but there's no way in Hades I would do that if a competent astrologer said that the stars frowned upon it. (For the record, I am planning on staying put in the Upper Midwest for the remainder of this incarnation.)

Unfortunately there are lots of psychic readers who will tell you what they think you want to hear for money. From what my Ogham are saying, you got two of them in a row.

From: (Anonymous)

Thank you, Kimberly. I was really hoping they were right, but it did sound too good to be true.

The cusp of my seventh house is on (roughly) 20 degrees pieces, so Saturn will transit by it within the year. Anything to keep an eye on? I also have a natal Mars 4 degrees below that (16 pisces). (This Mars has a distant applying conjunction with my natal Sun, also in pisces.)

Thanks again!

From:

kimberlysteele

You're welcome. I am definitely NOT an astrologer and can barely navigate my own natal chart, so as for what parts of your chart you should keep an eye on, I have no idea.

I understand. Thanks, Kimberly!

Good afternoon Kimberly, the cool summer has been carried off suddenly by distant storms into fall.

To ask: What is it that I need to know this week, according to the Ogham? (I'll keep the week after a mystery, and exercise the intuition these divination tools are meant to develop)

What does the Ogham make of J&D's proposal for the upper farm?

In JMG's Libra ingress, there is mention of churn in the presidential and vice presidential positions. The country where my farm is located has similar astrological conditions in its Libra ingress. Will the vice president be replaced in the next six months, or will she succeed the president in this time period?

Thank you for these divinations, and may you have a regenerative rest.

Hi Anon,

You drew three cards for this week.

For the You position, you drew Oír or Epiphany ill-dignified. This card, which is also symbolized by a lightning strike, is a sudden illumination that reveals both good and bad. Whether it is well- or ill-dignified, it is a necessary realization that is part of the process of maturing. Growing pains are often part of the package.

For the Situation, you drew Beith or Beginnings ill-dignified. Your get up and go may feel like it has gotten up and went this week. The more divided your energy is with various projects and life-tasks, the worse it will be, so do your best to enforce some strict limitations and leave some room for rest and play, mental or physical, but preferably both. Beith in this position can also be talking about someone close to you, or it can be talking about a false start for you or someone else.

For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace well-dignified. Ioho is a card of endings symbolized by the yew bush/tree. When endings are approaching or landing, we have choices. We can either fight the course of nature and stall in order to squeeze out whatever is left or we can gracefully accept the ending and lean into the process. Choosing the latter option is always better in the long run and often in the short run.

My Ogham approve of the proposal for the upper farm. They give Onn or Community well-dignified, which is to say it is mutually beneficial for the community around it as well as those directly involved.

For the VP question, my Ogham do not think she will be replaced. They give Luis or Protection ill-dignified, which means she might succeed the president or perhaps neither event will happen because the president might stay in his current position.

From:

kimberlysteele

Also, I am currently lapsed in my subscription to JMG's astrological forecasts, so I am not sure what his readings predicted about the presidency or the vice presidency.

From:

nightwatchwaits

Dear Kimberly. Please can you enquire of your Ogham what will I be wise to keep in mind this week.

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi NWW,

You drew three cards for the upcoming period. Please keep in mind I will not be reading next week because I am taking it off to focus on my students' fall recital.

For the You position, you drew Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. Even when ill-dignified, Uilleand can be essentially benevolent if it is talking about an excess of generosity on your part, or if you are the willing recipient of generosity. Generosity goes south when the well is poisoned by excessive worry and molly-coddling -- in that case it becomes co-dependent and enabling. Look at your own generosity this week as well as that which is given to you and try to determine the limits of the types of generosity in your life.

For the Situation, you drew Duir or Gifts well-dignified. Duir is similar to Eadha, but it is more a card of working with privileges and talents than Uilleand, which tends to be about interpersonal relationships, at least in my system of reading the Ogham. You use your own unique talents to their full potential this week and this inspires those around you to do the same.

For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection ill-dignified. Straight up, this card is one of the danger cards in the Ogham, so please be aware and don't take unnecessary risks this week. Other than that, it talks about your conscience being strained over some matter and indicates the need to think things through a great deal more. Of course I am going to recommend extra discursive meditation where needed.

What’s up this week?

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi PCK,

You drew three cards for this week.

For the You position, you drew Tinne or Defense well-dignified. Tinne is one of the danger cards in my Ogham no matter what the dignity, so be aware of physical dangers this week and take proper precautions. Other than that, it can be talking about being emotionally defensive, and that tends to happen when we have business inside our own heads that we either aren't seeing or that we do see and refuse to address.

For the Situation, you drew Onn or Community ill-dignified. You may be expecting too much from your community this week or it may be expecting too much from you or some combo of both. Community includes extended family (in my own case, I am much closer to some of my students than I am my own relatives) as well as your local retail staff, fellow churchgoers, etc. Keep your expectations low and do your level best to stay out of the dramatic foibles of the community, even where gossip is concerned.

For the Outcome, you drew Ruis or Regret well-dignified. The advantage of growing older is being able to see certain things coming at you and heading them off at the pass: the Ogham say you'll be adept at dodging mistakes that would have gotten you in the past. That said, part of the reason we get our noses rubbed into things is so we won't be so harshly judgmental when others have to go through the same process. "Judge not lest ye be judged" hints at that one, but I'm confident there is a better Bible verse that describes that phenomenon.

I’m considering selling a bunch of music CD’s of mine as part of downsizing and also trying to progress spiritually by feeling less attachment to the things in my life. I’ve attached music heavily to my identity but realized it’s not really important at all. But I recently had to question if I’m really being asked to get rid of all these CD’s. Does your Ogham like the idea of me selling the CD’s, or am I jumping to conclusions to get some brief sensation of progress that isn’t real?

From:

kimberlysteele

My Ogham says to sell them for whatever you can get for them NOW. They provide Oír or Epiphany well-dignified, which backs up your realization that you cannot take those CDs with you to the next world. You can still enjoy music without owning them. If you are at all able, consider using some of the proceeds, no matter how modest, to go see actual musicians perform live and in person.

Hi Kimberly,

Will R and I cross paths again?

Do your Ogham think it wise for me to join my family with their planned trip to the US?

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Anon,

My Ogham think it is unlikely that you and R will cross paths again. They give Phagos or Teaching ill-dignified, meaning that the gods know why you're not meant to meet again in this incarnation, but they do not wish for you to know why at this time.

For your second question, my Ogham say that the outlook is not good. They provide Saille or Flexibility ill-dignified, meaning that it will be hard to make room either time-wise or in some other sense. This isn't to say it is impossible, but expect difficulties if you join them: get travel insurance, pack an emergency carry-on with "just in case" items, and be ready to fly by the seat of your pants if necessary.

Edited Date: 2023-09-04 08:48 pm (UTC)

From: (Anonymous)

I see what your Ogham mean with ill-dignified flexibility with regards to the trip. My mom has given us approximate dates for the trip to the US, but is unwilling to give firm dates until she knows everyone's schedule, and doesn't want anyone who's agreed to go on the trip to plan anything during the times which might work. This may cause problems for me because I have various commitments which will require me to be in Canada for some of the period during the period of time when this trip might occur. I have some degree of flexibility, but I need to settle on dates for those commitments soon; and it looks like I might need to pick dates for my commitments before I find out when the trip is going to be.

I'm not sure you have a limit on questions, I'll leave 2 here but if you only want to do one of them, please choose the first question. I don't mean to take advantage of your generosity!

1) My fiance and I have had serious ongoing issues for over a year. I've done divinations trying to figure out how to handle this best (stay, go, take a break, etc.) But the answers are all over the place (or more likely, I'm too close to this and not interpreting the cards well). In the best interest of my fiance and I, how should I proceed with our relationship?

2) How can I forge a better relationship with my gods (Apollo, Hermes, Demeter, and the Morrigan) to honor them and honor and nourish myself on a spiritual level?

Thank you very much for this service!

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Pleiades,

My Ogham give you three cards in reference to your relationship and sadly they are pessimistic about it going forward. One out of three cards was well-dignified.

For the You card, they provide Coll or Wisdom well-dignified, which indicates that you are willing to do the work of maintaining the relationship, but of course it takes two to tango. Coll is a card of forging a canyon over glacial time, drip by drip of water. You have patience as one of your virtues, but not everybody is like you.

For the Situation, you drew Eadha or Limits ill-dignified. This one is talking more about your fiancée. Your fiancée is not at the point where he or she can change enough to sustain the relationship and be happy. Perhaps he or she wants more than you can provide or simply does not know what he or she wants, only that you are not it.

For the Outcome, you drew Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. Worry can often masquerade as generosity. Relationships between lovers and spouses can often become parental in nature, and instead of the two parties seeing each other as equals, protection and care turns into co-dependence. Meditating on where worry comes from is a very good idea. Worry about someone else or the status of the relationship often comes from a selfish and narcissistic place that is easy to deny and hard to face head-on.

As for Question 2, the Ogham give you Koad or Confluence well-dignified. This is a good crossroads in your life to worship multiple gods. By meditation and prayer, you will discover more about your past lives and the unique talents you have to give the world. It is time to look at your gifts, including the ones you've ignored or given up on in more recent periods, and to decide what limits must be set to live out these gifts to their fullest potential. You must get ready to sacrifice things in your life for which you lack passion. I know it sounds silly, but I have sacrificed my passion for macramé and jewelry making because they take away time from my more potent talent of arranging music. So in my own case, giving away my supplies for both of those is an act of worship. By accepting what the gods have cultivated as special within me, I physically show them I appreciate it by reneging on the physical possessions that would distract me from the goal they are helping me to obtain. In other words, I give away those things so that way I am not just providing lip service that I want to devote my life to being a composer.

Hi Kimberly, I hope you're well.

I'd like to ask you and your Ogham for guidance for September. How can I best direct my efforts and energies this month?

Thank you!

Jonathan.

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi Jonathan,

My Ogham give you three cards for September.

For the You card, they provide Ngetal or Hygiene well-dignified. Whether well- or ill-dignified, Ngetal can be one of the risky cards in my Ogham, so be especially careful about your physical health this month: take a quality multivitamin supplement every day, prioritize rest and sleep, and if in doubt, leave it out. This month is good for connection to Earth energies which are very good for motivating you to do practical "chop wood and carry water" pragmatic tasks that ground you and make you whole.

For the Situtation, you drew Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. Slow and steady wins the race. Kudos to you for being the one to corroborate sources and to make sure they are legit before opening your mouth. This is a month of diligent work that shows the Divine you're not just messing around. That said, build on this good trend and don't speak off the cuff and end up tripping over your words.

For the Outcome, you drew Ioho or Grace ill-dignified. Endings are hard to deal with and as I said to someone else who drew this card in the threads above, learning to deal with them gracefully is tough. Keep in mind our civilization rejects the fact anything has to end, which is why we have huge groups fixated on the Apocalypse and no sane strategies for lessening our use of available petroleum. Neither seek to end something prematurely nor cling to what can no longer be. Let it happen in its own time. Lean into it instead of trying to control its every move.

Hi Kimberly,

What's up for me and my family these next 2 weeks?

Thanks!
-PW

PS Enjoy your week off!

From:

kimberlysteele

Hi PW,

You and the fam drew three cards this week; unfortunately they are all ill-dignified. Though this upcoming fortnight may be a doozy, I have found that I am often able to head off drama at the pass when given this kind of reading, so I hope you are able to make the best out of it.

For the You position, you drew Muin or Harvest. If you are waiting on something big, this is not the week it will come to fruition. If you've got any bad patterns or psychologies in place, this week is likely to feature some of the crappier consequences of those patterns. The Divine may be trying to teach you what not to do here, so be observant and use any forthcoming lessons to their fullest potential.

For the Situation, you drew Straif or Strife. We live in a dramatic culture in dramatic times -- someone is always getting excited over a bunch of nothing. Don't believe the hype and don't be drawn in; it's not worth it. Straif is also Resilience, and you may find your reserves tested by the strains of life, especially but not limited to the financial ones. I know for me, this card signifies the annoying and recurring expense of my quarterly taxes, which have been the bane of my existence since I began teaching private music lessons at age 26!

For the Outcome, you drew Duir or Gifts. There isn't a true bad side to Duir, so this reading ends on an ironically positive note despite being all ill-dignified. Duir is a consciousness about your own gifts and privileges, and though others may look upon you and your gifts with jealousy and spite, their bad energy cannot pierce your defenses if you appreciate what you have and stay thankful and humble to the Divine. You increase the protective effect by giving to those who do not have as much as you do, so by giving your time, talents, kindness, and occasionally money to help and encourage others, you send those gifts in a chain back to yourself, making yourselves 7 or more times as likely to receive the gifts of others when you need them.
