I'm back from break!  It was very refreshing and productive and looking forward to reading for you all.

I am happy to read your Ogham free of charge -- that's how I hone my divination skills.  Please limit your reading request to four or fewer Ogham cards: though this can take many forms, here are some common ones (all of them are basically combos of 4 cards):
 
-a single three card reading for the week or month and a one-off, one card reading
-four questions about four separate items that require one answer (card) per item
-a one card reading to answer a specific question and a three card for a more nuanced question
-Two separate readings, two cards a piece exploring the positives and negatives of two different choices
 
I am happy to do Ogham readings confidentially via email -- just email me at k steele studio at gmail during the allotted time/before deadline.  I cannot answer health questions.  If you have a question about health or another sensitive, private matter, provide a bunch of non-identifying information and the Ogham will be able to figure it out even if I don't. I'm serious... the Ogham actually tend to "know" things without me being privy to what is going on.

Please note I take time off during Solstices and Equinoxes for Druid stuff and because sometimes I simply need a break

My next planned break is from October 23 - November 6.

I take reading requests from whenever this post goes up on Friday night until 8pm US Central Time Saturday.  

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.

Twenty dollars and a fence

I dreamed we had gotten change from a register, a $20 American bill that for some reason had an image of Elizabeth II on it. It was commemorative, in some way, and dated 1970, but we couldn't find much information about it online. We went to the post office, a cavernous, Neoclassical space, to see if we it was somehow worth more, as a collectible, than twenty bucks, but then only offered to exchanged the faded bill for a crisper, more modern equivalent. We held onto it, vowing to do more research.

I dreamed my wife, daughter, and I were sitting on a platform on a chain-link fence in my late maternal grandmother's backyard. My wife was dozing off. My daughter and I beheld what we took to be a large seagull hurtling into a tree in the neighboring yard. Don't wake Mommy, I told my daughter (my wife is an avid bird aficionado), as it's only a seagull. The bird emerged from the tree where it was tangled up and landed right alongside my wife on the fence. Turned out it was a golden eagle, magnificent, beaming. My wife continued to sleep soundly. I urged my daughter to take photos of the visitor, and she stealthily did so. Then the eagle soared off.

Cool uncle

I dreamed we were on a reality television show in which people got to vote on various relatives and hangers-on in the court of the current president of the United States, and those who were voted in would have to go and live with him, to the delight of T.V. viewers. The most recent vote, this week, was for the role of "cool uncle." My daughter laughed as she voted in a crooked-looking little man, and revealed to me that she had voted in a guy whose proper name was "Cole Uncle." The president held up a photograph of the weekly winner, who promptly walked his bags into the White House, and everyone left.

I dreamed we were hot on the trail of an aspiring terrorist who was posing as a university scholar. The guy's name was "Malcolm Mohammed McLeish," an Irishman, all of which I found unusual. I'm not sure if we ever caught him.

Freedom

The Declaration of Independence, among other things, carries forward at least two very subversive and potent ideas:

  • That human beings are created, and all share in innate equal, divinely-conferred dignity;

  • That we have free agency, including the agency to determine how we are governed.


These ideas, if nothing else, are universal, not particular to any one country or region or people. May they provide some water to weary travellers on the way.

Rat labyrinth

I dreamed we were trapped in a vast labyrinth, crumbling concrete walls of purple, like something out of a dystopian movie, weeds poking up through the soil. The only one who knew the way out was a well-dressed rat, dapper in a dark blue suit. He would occasionally poke his small head through cracks in the wall and windows, as if checking in on our progress. Finally I grabbed him by the throat and pulled him through, choking him with both hands, his face writhing in pain. I demanded he show us the way out, and unwillingly he began to lead the way.

Planetary Charity Resource List

This is a resource list for members of the Ecosophia community for the practice of planetary charity as described here on the Renaissance Astrology website:

https://www.renaissanceastrology.com/planetarycharity.html

SATURN

The elderly are traditional recipients of Saturnine planetary charity, so donating to local nursing homes or senior citizens organizations is a good option.

Meals on Wheels feeds the homebound elderly.
https://www.mealsonwheelsamerica.org/

Saturn rules death and poverty. Many counties and some funeral homes have programs for indigent (often still called “pauper’s” burials), but generally you must check locally.

Saturn also rules permanent structures and, as mentioned, poverty, so Habitat for Humanity is another option. You probably have a local chapter.
https://secure.habitat.org

JUPITER

Churches are an option for planetary charity dedicated to Jupiter.

Honeybees are also Jovial, so donating to a charity that works to conserve them could be an option.

You might also consider planting something like this as an act of devotion:

MARS

Wolves belong to Mars, so wolf sanctuaries and conservation organizations are good for Martial charity.

American Wolf Foundation
https://www.americanwolf.org/donate

Veterans organizations are a very good choice for Mars as well.

Semper Fi & America’s Fund
https://thefund.org/

The Wounded Warrior Project
https://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/

Fisher House builds comfort homes where service members, veterans, and their families can stay free of charge while a loved one is in the hospital.
https://www.fisherhouse.org/about/

Homes for Our Troops builds specially adapted homes for seriously injured veterans.
https://www.hfotusa.org/

SUN

Horses are ruled by the Sun, so horse rescues are appropriate for Solar planetary charity.

Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue
https://www.gentlegiantsdrafthorserescue.org

EQUUS Foundation
https://equusfoundation.org/about/about-us.php

VENUS

Charities for women are appropriate to Venus.

The Lotus Flower: Supporting women and girls impacted by conflict
https://thelotusflower.org/

American Women Artists: Dedicated to the inspiration, celebration, and encouragement of women in the visual fine arts (Venus also rules beauty and the arts).
https://americanwomenartists.org/

The Women’s Resource of Greater Houston: Helping women and girls make choices toward being independent, productive, and financially stable
https://thewomensresource.org/

Roses also belong to Venus.

The Friends of Vintage Roses conserve old, endangered rose varieties; work to share them with the public; and educate the public about the importance and usefulness of the rose.
https://thefriendsofvintageroses.org/

You may also consider planting and registering one of these endangered rambling roses as an act of devotion to Venus:

Save the Ramblers
https://rose.org/ramblers/
https://heirloomroses.com/collections/save-the-ramblers-initiative

MERCURY

Youth literacy charities are a good option for Mercury.

Children’s Dyslexia Centers
https://www.childrensdyslexiacenters.org/

Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy
https://www.barbarabush.org/

MOON

Charities that serve infants and young children are a good option for charity dedicated to the Moon.

Ronald McDonald House provides families with a free place to stay near their critically ill and hospitalized children. Ronald McDonald House Greater Houston is our local RMHC chapter, where we stayed when our daughter was in the NICU. You may have a chapter closer to you or may prefer the global organization.

We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.
