Decision Layout

 

 

Difficulty: Easy

This simple but highly useful layout calls for a question to be asked in this format:

"What happens if I do (X), and what happens if I do not do (X)?"

Please note that it should not be viewed as a decision between two different options, but about whether a single option should be exercised or not. A second option would call for a separate reading.

Ogham #7 is the significator, the overall theme of the query.

Oghams #3, #1, & #5 represent the chronological sequence of events that occurs if the reader chooses to do (X).

Oghams #4, #2, & #6 represent the chronological sequence of events that unfolds if the reader chooses not to do (X).

Ailm

• Tree/Plant: Silver Fir
• Kenning: ‘Pillar of Resilience’

Silver Fir stands tall in winter’s darkest days. Ailm offers endurance, spiritual health, and steady strength. In times of bleakness, remember your evergreen soul. Stand tall, rooted deep, reaching for starlight even when the sun hides. Your stillness is your revolution.

• Spiritual Lesson: True resilience bends without breaking.
• Reflective Question: What inner root keeps me alive through winter?
• Affirmation: ‘I endure, evergreen and steadfast.’

 

 

 

Outcome if you do it:

 

 

Muin Blocked

• Tree/Plant: Vine
• Kenning: ‘Binding of Intoxication’

Blocked Vine is clinging, addiction, or entanglement in illusions. Are you chasing connection so hard you’ve lost yourself? Beware false intoxications: relationships, substances, ideas that promise bliss but deliver bondage. Choose sacred connection over entrapment.

• Spiritual Lesson: True connection uplifts; false ties consume.
• Reflective Question: Where am I entangled in illusion?
• Affirmation: ‘I choose sacred union, not bondage.’

 

 

 

 

Luis

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

The Rowan stands at the crossroads, its scarlet berries a shield against dark enchantments. Luis grants the seer’s sight—flashes of truth glimmer through the fog. Dreams grow sharper; omens clearer. Not all that you see will be comfortable, but all will be true. Trust the tugs at your spine, the sudden chill when someone speaks untruth. Your soul is attuned to warnings others miss. Listen, and you will pass safely.

• 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.’

 

 

 

 

Saille Blocked

• Tree/Plant: Willow
• Kenning: ‘Sweeping Elegance’

Saille blocked is a dammed river—emotions swell, distort, and may burst destructively. You may cling to numbness, or become imprisoned by nostalgia and mourning. Let it move. What you suppress becomes the flood that drowns you. What you grieve becomes the seed of your rebirth. Surrender is not weakness; it is navigation.

• 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.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Outcome if you do not do it:

 

 

Ngetal Blocked

• Tree/Plant: Reed
• Kenning: ‘Voice of the Waters’

Blocked Reed creates noise instead of music. Are your words sowing confusion? Are you shouting when you should be silent? Miscommunication can rot trust quickly. Return to simplicity. Speak from the quiet place inside, not the ego’s storm.

• Spiritual Lesson: The purest messages are the simplest.
• Reflective Question: What truth needs my voice right now?
• Affirmation: ‘I am the voice of clear waters.’

 

 

 

 

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.’

 

 

 

 

Onn Blocked

• Tree/Plant: Gorse
• Kenning: ‘Flame of Fertility’

Blocked Gorse burns out of control or gutters to ash. Lust without love, ambition without honour—these are false flames. Don't waste your fire chasing mirages. Let your passions be sacred, not consuming.

• Spiritual Lesson: Sacred fire creates; false fire consumes.
• Reflective Question: Where does my fire want to bloom?
• Affirmation: ‘I blaze the barren into bloom.’
