Blind Spot Layout

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.

Fearn Blocked

  • Tree/Plant: Alder
  • Kenning: ‘Shield of the Warriors’
When Alder is blocked, the call to act becomes a coward’s retreat or a reckless charge. You may be standing in the wrong battle, wasting blood for pride. Or worse, refusing a battle that desperately needs your presence. Beware false peace. Some bridges must be burned before the right ones can be built. Know what you are fighting for—and what you are willing to surrender.

  • Spiritual Lesson: Strength is found not in stubbornness, but in sacred resilience.
  • Reflective Question: What cause truly deserves my courage right now?
  • Affirmation: ‘I am the bridge and the battleground.’

 

 

 

 

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

Ur Blocked

  • Tree/Plant: Heather
  • Kenning: ‘Flower of Dreams’
Blocked Heather is escapism, false hope, or emotional dissociation. Dreams without grounding become fantasy. Tend your dreams like gardens, not castles in the air. Hope is sacred—not to be wasted on illusions.

  • Spiritual Lesson: Dreams demand roots as much as wings.
  • Reflective Question: What fragile dream do I need to protect and nourish?
  • Affirmation: ‘I dream with rooted hope.’

 

 

 

 

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

Quert Blocked

  • Tree/Plant: Apple
  • Kenning: ‘Fruit of the Otherworld’
When Apple is blocked, pleasure becomes greed, or fear of pleasure stifles the spirit. You may refuse what life offers, believing yourself unworthy—or gorge yourself into spiritual sickness. Seek balance. The fruit of the Otherworld is sacred because it is shared, not hoarded.

  • 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.

Saille

  • Tree/Plant: Willow
  • Kenning: ‘Sweeping Elegance’
The Willow bends but does not break. Saille teaches the mastery of emotion—the art of yielding without defeat. Here, grief is not an enemy but a river to be crossed, danced with, and honoured. Your feelings are powerful allies, not burdens. Dreamtime, prophecy, and creativity surge through the Willow’s domain. Trust your tears, your visions, your poetic instincts. They are the currents carrying you toward deeper wisdom.

  • Spiritual Lesson: Mastery of emotion is achieved through movement, not denial.
  • Reflective Question: Where am I refusing to let grief or inspiration flow?
  • Affirmation: ‘I bend; I do not break.’
