Hello! I hope you are doing alright in these crazy times. Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to do these readings. My birthday is April 24, 1997 and I would love an Ogham reading.
My question is, what message is Loki trying to send me that I've been struggling to receive and understand?
Thank you for your kind wishes. I'm doing very well actually, just extremely busy, which has been hindering this little shindig I started, much to my chagrin. Regardless of that though, let's see what I can do for you in the way of a reading with Ogham.
For your reading, I shuffled my Rowan set and pulled the following feda for you:
Luis, Ruis, Huath, Nuin, Gort, Ngetal
Ultimately I feel like Loki is trying to tell you that there's something in your life that you need to get up, get moving, get busy to take care of or otherwise it is going to cause you problems. It could be a person, a thing, or a simple situation that causing the problems. I'm not getting a specific feeling about if it's a person, being, object, or situation, so anything could be the reason why things are going or will become the way they are or about to be.
I also feel like that it could be something that it happening right now and you are already in the thick of things, but it could easily be something that is starting to creep up, fester, grow, develop without your awareness. I don't know if you are completely unaware of what's going on or what's starting to happen around you, or if it's something you are aware of, but can't fully express to yourself. Either is just as likely the case, and once again I'm not picking up on anything that gives me some sort of clue  about which is more likely the case out of those two options.
Either way, Loki is both disapointed and irritated with you regarding the state of things and the lack progress on taking care of them before they either become a problem at all or become such a problem that it ends up feeling like something that imsurpassable to deal with. I also get the feeling that he's been trying to get your attention about this for a little while now. I asked Loki if he could give me some kind of time period and he says he's been trying to pass the warning and information to you about this since at least June, maybe even before then.
This problem, whatever it may end up being, is or at least can become a true threat to you. It is something that can either harm you or disrupt your life in a major way for a long period of time. The feeling I'm getting from thissituation is that it's the kind of disruption and havoc that could cause you to start over from scratch in a lot of ways.
However, taking care of this being, person, situation, or thing, will bring you peace and harmony in your life, along with causing things to go much more smoothly for you for a good long period of time. In fact, taking care of this, whatever it may end up being, will bring you some major satsfaction for you while Fixing and setting right the road you are currently on in life.
Okay, let me break things down a little bit with how I got to this point with your reading. When it comes to Ogham, I primarily focus on Word Ogham for the majority of the meanings, along with the depth of meaning, for each of the fedas or letter characters from the alphabet. Sometimes I'll grab some inspiration from how the letter characters mean for the other varients of Ogham such as Tree Ogham, Color Ogham, etc, but prefer to rely on Word Ogham most of the time.Â
Also, I have translated the names and kennings for the letter characters for myself and tend to work with the specific meanings I came up with, which may differ slightly from other translations in some ways.
First and foremost, let's start with Luis. Luis or Lus, as it also comes up as, can be commonly translated as Herb, plant, etc, though some people also translate it as flame. I have personally not seen enough evidence to agree with the flame translation, so rarely use it for this fid. Â
The three kennings for Luis can be translated as Luster of the Eye, Friend or Relative of Cattle, or the Sustance of Cattle. Right away the feeling I was getting for this fid in regards to your reading is the sustance of Cattle.
Keeping in mind that one of the main translations for the name of this fid is herb, plant, it's refering specifically to the sustance that fuels us, gives us energy, power, etc. When I translate the word that commonly means sustance in this particular kenning, other words come up, words like motion, vigor, movement, power, joy, or rejoyacing.
Hence Loki is trying to get across to you that you need to get moving, go in motion, find the power or vigor to get things done.
Next, Ruis, can be translated as Red, Redness, or Reddening. It's kennings, in turn, can be translated as Brighest of Blushes,Reddening Face, Brightest Fury.
With at least one of the kennings mentioned here, one of the words means more than just angery, but also shame. I tend to read this fid's general meaning to encompass more than just anger and shame, but all emotions that cause one's skin to flush and once's face to blush, including lust or passion.
Taking a moment from the actual reading and checking in with Loki, the feeling I got from him wasn't intense enough to be anger or shame, but more along the lines of annoyance and disapointment. The feelings felt very much like he thought the situation, person, etc was easy enough to be reckonized for what it is, and hoped he wouldn't need to step in and try to catch your attention about this as much as he has as of late. Not that he minds aiding and helping you, from what he shared with me, but that the fact that it came to this, and more so that there has been problems getting the message across to you at all has been causing some of those feelings to manifest.
After Ruis is Huath, which can be translated as Fear, Horror, Terror, Phantom, and Spectre among other things. It's kennings can be translated as Gathering of a pack of Hounds, the Paling of one's face, and Hard at Night.
Like I said, the problem can either be a person, thing, being, or situation. Usually I tend to get a strong feeling about what it actually is when this fid comes up in a reading, but not this time, and there could be any reason why that might be the case.
Regardless of the identity of what is causing the problem or what is the identity of the problem, it's an actual and honest threat.Like I said before, it has the power to undo, unraval, and harass your life if steps aren't taken to deal with it while also working on yourself and the things in your life that you are cwishing to currently progress, improve, prosper.
After Huath comes Nin, which translates into English from Irish as things such as letter, forked letter, and part of a weaver's loom.It's kennings can be translated as establishing of peace, Boast of Women, and Boast of Beauty.
So yeah, this one is interesting. Among other things, I occasionally read this fid as a feminine letter character with feminine energy. Sometimes when I do this, it is because someone involved in the reading, being it the person I'm reading for or someone else that's being brought up in the reading itself, happens to be female. I see that you aren't female from taking a quick gander at your blog, so obviously that aspect isn't focused on or refering to you.
Of course, just because a large portion of the energy and meaning behind this fid is feminine by nature, doesn't mean a woman or feminine energy has to be involved at all. There has been occasions where men or non binary people were involved or being read to or for, and the focus on the reading with this letter character involved more of other aspects of the meanings and energies that make up Nin.
And while that could be what's happening here, I don't think so. I think that the first of the three kennings is what is being refered to here, what is showing up for you instead. While this kenning is commonly translated as Establishing of Peace, the word that translates as Establishing also can translate in kind to words such as checking, maintaining, keeping, etc. Also, the word that translates specifically as peace in this kenning specifically refers to the sĂ mounds and those folks who dwell there. I'm of the opinion that the core essence of this kenning is all about the building and maintaining of right relationships with otherworldly folks through hospitality, offerings, etc.
I think often of Daghda and his harassing with the descendants of Mil until they formed the pact with him, the Tuatha De Danann, and the Aos SĂ, etc.
Of course, I read this one, when the first kenning comes up, as much as regarding mundane peace and relationships as it does spiritually.
So it could be that it's peace that you will have when you deal with and set right what's causing you and your life problems. It could also be that the problem itself, that threat that wishes to unraval your life like so much spun thread, is due to a relationship that you started to build but didn't properly maintain or manage along the way. Â
If the source of the problem Loki has been trying to warn and alert you to happens to be a person, it could be that this person is female and that's a strong reason why this fid showed up for you as well. I'm not sure if this is the case, however, as I'm still unable to get a certain lock on the identity of this thing or person or situation at all. The details are very cloudy for sure.
Next is Gort. Gort translates as field, paster land, farmland, or even battlefield. It's kennings can be commonly translated asSweetest of Grasses, Suitble Places for Cattle, and the sating of Multitudes.
This fid showing up next to Nin goes a long way to make me feel and think that Nin is refering to the fight, the effort, the journey to create and maintain peace, especially in relationships. This letter character is telling you what you will receive once you are able to set things right, accomplish things to the best of your ability. Things will be set back to rights and you will have the resources you need to keep growing and thriving, especially spiritually, but in general as well. You will not have to hunger for understanding, for connection, especially with Loki.
Of course, he too will be sated by this. By working through this, dealing with and accomplishing things and settling or even dispursing the threat that's been developing and growing, will sate Loki and cause both his disapointment and irritation that he currently has leveled towards you to disapate altogether.
Last, but certainly not least, is Ngetal. It commonly translates as slaying or killing. It's kennings can commonly be translated as sustance of a Leech, Clothing of a Healer, and the Beginning of Slaying.
Yeah, this fid all but screams and crys out that the best way to fix things, restore things as they should be, is to excise the threat that is or will be causing you problems. The more it is allowed to grow and fester, the more harm it will do to you and your life.
This letter character is quite interesting as there's a strange dual nature to it's meanings. It's kennings can refer to healing or to fighting. What translates as healing or dealing with a healer, can also be translated as belonging to or part of a warrior. It's an interesting balance for sure. Even the beginning of slaying can be the slaying of an enemy or the operating upon a wound or injury that threatens to kill or destroy.
Operating upon, slaying, excising the problems that surround you will sate both you and Loki in the end.
I apologize that this reading took me so long to complete for you. The past week or so has been super busy, I'm still behind on finishing and posting or sending out readings, but I'm trying to get through them when I am able to. I hope this reading helps you in some way and thank you for giving me the oppertunity to read for you like this. Please let me know if there's any thing else I may be able to help you with.
