Hi Ighy,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You position, you drew Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. No matter what dignity this is in, it always reminds to keep your mouth shut at the right time. Think well before you speak. Coll is the benefit of having lived experience that keeps you from making the same mistake twice or from passing up a great opportunity. Nevertheless, keep in mind that catching the differences between what is and is not meant for you is a subtle art. An opportunity that is great for someone else may not be right for you, despite you being in a similar situation or environment.

For the Situation, you drew Muin or Harvest well-dignified. Your patience and hard work pay off. The Ogham suggest you kick back, relax, and enjoy the fruits of your labors. There is cause for celebration. When you have an accomplishment, whether large or small, it is very important to give yourself a rest period in its wake. This follows the patterns of nature: seasonality, ebb and flow. Give yourself breathing room to recognize a job well done.

For the Outcome, you drew Uilleand or Generosity ill-dignified. At its worst, Uilleand isn't that bad, it may mean molly-coddling and feeling suffocated by too many gifts and too much privilege. Uilleand is also the spirit of noblesse oblige and paying it forward, whether it is you on the receiving end or the giving one.

Hi Misty,

My Ogham like the apartment complex. They give Onn or Community well-dignified, which indicates peaceful neighbors and stability, both of which are very positive in a place to live.

As for the bedrooms, I asked for well-dignified to indicate one bedroom and ill-dignified to indicate two. They gave Fearn or Bridge ill-dignified, meaning that two bedrooms serves your needs much better than one and is worth the extra expense.

As for the outcome of the letter you sent, it's Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified, meaning it may take too long or that it won't achieve the results you want in a timely fashion.

Hi Heloise,

You drew three cards this week.

For the You card, you drew Huath or Obstacles well-dignified. Huath is one of my Ogham's danger cards, so I utter my usual warning and caution you to be risk adverse for the duration of the week. Other than that, you have the necessary mojo to fend off danger, and it is good, because danger has a high chance of rearing its ugly head this week. Keep a level head, don't let fight or flight get the best of you, and turn anger into motivation to make positive change in yourself.

For the Situation, you drew Koad or Confluence well-dignified. Factors you've put in place combine with good luck to make the best out of given situations. Recognize the goodness you've been responsible for -- you can do that without being excessively vain or proud. Recognition will give you the ability to see the good in others.

For the Outcome, you drew Tinne or Defense ill-dignified. Ah yes, another danger card in my Ogham, so this one is a double whammy of a reading. Be on high alert and be ready to make quick decisions. Nobody can prepare for everything. Also, Meatworld sucks. Just do your best and prepare as well as you can -- you're not superhuman.

Hi Anon,

You drew three cards for the next week.

For the You card, you drew Ngetal or Health ill-dignified. Ngetal is one of my Ogham's danger cards, especially in this dignity, so guard your safety and your health, take a decent multivitamin supplement every day, and prioritize hygiene and sleep. This week may be very taxing.

For the Situation, you drew Mór or Sea Change well-dignified. The mood lifts, the fog clears. Like other forms of weather, this isn't dependent on you or anything you did, but that doesn't mean you can't take advantage of it. Use this week to look deeply into the past and to make prognoses about the future.

For the Outcome, you drew Luis or Protection well-dignified. This is yet another one of my Ogham's danger cards (the four that signify danger are this one, Tinne or Defense, Huath or Obstacles, and Ngetal) and it means your Holy Guardian Angel may be working overtime to keep you well and safe. Minimize risk as much as you can. Other than that, it talks about opportunity for deep connection to your true self, brutal and constructive self-honesty, and facing your own demons with bravery and resolve.

Hi PW,

Ay yi yi, food poisoning is the absolute worst. I hope he mends well, poor guy.

You drew three cards this week, all well-dignified. As much as I would like to promise a cakewalk, all well-dig readings are seldom as trouble free as we would like.

For the You card, you drew Uilleand or Generosity. Privilege is often framed as a binary as "good" or "bad" when it is always a mix. Privilege is good as long as you pay it forward and use your gifts to be productive and helpful. It's bad when you think you're entitled and use whatever privilege you are given to pad your ego or indulge your laziness. By giving what you have (this is never confined to money) with a gentle spirit, you can sublimate any gift you are given and align it with higher and wiser powers.

For the Situation, you drew Gort or Perseverance. Patience is a virtue and you know how to see a thing to fruition. A little bit each day moves mountains... eventually. The journey is as important as the destination. Not everyone will understand your slow approach -- that's OK. Keep going in the direction you are going. You have your head on straight.

For the Outcome, you drew Quert or Delight. Moderation is joy. The middle ground heals where complete avoidance is drudgery and complete indulgence ends up in addiction. By modeling moderation, you are influencing those who need it badly. We don't live in a world where moderation is commonly embraced. As Apollo said, "moderation in all things". And "know thyself".

Aww, thanks so much, you made my week!

Hi Anon,

My cards say Yes, X outcome was intended. They give Coll or Wisdom well-dignified, which shows forethought and planning.

For the Situation, they give three cards.

For the You position, they give Saille or Sensitivity ill-dignified. You are being forced to bend so far that you feel you might break, and the demands on your energy leave you feeling brittle, exhausted, and numb. You may have to draw a hard line and either extricate yourself or make concrete demads.

For the Situation, you drew Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. You have worked for what you have and you need to surround yourself with those who have done the same. There is no short cut to certain kinds of learning and you know what you know the hard way.

For the Outcome, you drew Ur or Intimacy ill-dignified. The current stresses leave you feeling alone and stranded. We always take out our frustrations on the ones we love, so try not to do that. Other people have their own problems, so in order to maintain relationships, ask them about their problems before jumping into a litany of your own woes.
