Blind Spot Layout

 

 

Difficulty: Varies

This layout is used to enhance self-awareness. Questions about learning something about oneself or things that are hidden work very well with this layout, although no question is necessary.

1. This ogham displays the obvious identity, the part of oneself that is consciously known and projected to others.
2. This ogham indicates unconscious driving forces that neither the reader nor others are aware of about them, the great unknown. Nobody knows what this ogham means, at least not yet...
3. The part of oneself that is concealed, to keep others from discovering, is apparent in this ogham.
4. This is the Blind Spot. This is what was asked about, that which this reading should bring awareness of. The reader may wish to pay close attention to these mannerisms.

This ogham displays your obvious identity, the part of you that everyone knows.

Uilleann

• Tree/Plant: Honeysuckle
• Kenning: ‘Hidden Sweetness’

Uilleann wraps and winds—sweetness found not in plain sight, but in spirals. This is the glyph of unseen blessings and secret pathways. Trust the detour. Trust the fragrance that pulls at your soul. Follow what draws you, not what shouts at you. Life’s richest nectar is rarely on the main road.

• Spiritual Lesson: Not all that tempts is treasure—but real treasure rarely announces itself.
• Reflective Question: What unseen blessing have I ignored?
• Affirmation: ‘I follow sweetness hidden in shadow.’

 

 

 

 

This ogham shows unconscious driving forces that neither you nor your company is aware of about you. This is the Great Unknown.

Luis Blocked

• Tree/Plant: Rowan
• Kenning: ‘Delight of the Eye’

When Luis is blocked, the eyes deceive, and the spirit grows porous. Trust given lightly is trust betrayed. Omens grow cloudy; intuition is warped by fear or yearning. The shield has cracks; unseen influences may leech through if vigilance is not restored. Test every vision against the flame of reason. Listen more to what is unsaid than what is proclaimed. Protection demands discernment as much as faith.

• Spiritual Lesson: True insight demands patience, not desperation.
• Reflective Question: Where am I mistaking wishful thinking for true intuition?
• Affirmation: ‘My spirit sharpens to the truth.’

 

 

 

 

The secrets you keep from others are shown by this ogham.

Quert

• Tree/Plant: Apple
• Kenning: ‘Fruit of the Otherworld’

Quert is the sweet fruit hanging just beyond reach, the Otherworld’s promise of abundance, beauty, and healing. You are called to enjoy life's sweetness without shame or fear. Taste joy fully, live fully, love fully. Gifts are meant to be accepted. Pleasure, properly honoured, is a spiritual act.

• Spiritual Lesson: True abundance is joyful, generous, and reverent.
• Reflective Question: Where am I denying myself the blessings of life?
• Affirmation: ‘I taste joy without fear.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is your Blind Spot. This is what you asked about - what you wished to be made aware of by this reading.

Ruis Blocked

• Tree/Plant: Elder
• Kenning: ‘Death’s Gateway’

Blocked Elder is stagnation, refusing to grieve, refusing to grow. You may cling to rotted branches, mistaking them for life. Stop embalming your own dead. Surrender the corpse of old identities, dreams, and loyalties.

• Spiritual Lesson: True rebirth demands true mourning.
• Reflective Question: What am I still carrying that must be laid to rest?
• Affirmation: ‘I bless the ending and welcome the new.’
