Game Plan Layout

 

 

Difficulty: Easy

When a person has a certain plan in mind, this simple five-ogham layout presents a choice, hinting at what action or attitude should be taken for their plan to succeed, and what should be avoided to help the plan work out for the best.

The initial ogham is laid in the centre of the layout, the significator. The following four oghams are laid out clockwise around the significator.

In this layout, the second ogham is about what drives the reader, but also says they are not fully conscious of this, perhaps even completely unaware of it. It provides a hint as to the reason they strive for their goal.

The third ogham uncovers what others think of the reader and their goals. The reader may or may not be aware of this. Sometimes other people factor into the plans (and sometimes they don't).

The fourth ogham suggests what not to do. If things are permitted to go down this path, the plan will collapse.

The fifth ogham is a hint as to how to make this plan work out favourably. The idea this ogham presents should be followed to make the plan successful. It is the differences between Oghams #4 & #5 that should be noted, as the differences provide important clues.

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.’

 

 

 

 

Ur

• Tree/Plant: Heather
• Kenning: ‘Flower of Dreams’

Heather carpets the wild hills, a dreamscape of resilience and mystery. Ur asks you to trust in subtle magic: quiet dreams, soft longings, secret hopes. Nourish them patiently. Some dreams need slow seasons to grow before they break into bloom.

• 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.’

 

 

 

 

Eabhadh

• Tree/Plant: Aspen
• Kenning: ‘Stone of Memory’

Eabhadh is mystery incarnate—the glyph that marks death, silence, or what cannot be said. It is the absence that still speaks. You are in a liminal space now: between known and unknown, voice and silence, life and the afterlife of meaning. Mark this moment. It matters more than it can ever explain itself.

• Spiritual Lesson: Some mysteries are meant to be honoured, not solved.
• Reflective Question: What silence am I afraid to name?
• Affirmation: ‘I honour the nameless and remember the unsaid.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Onn

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

Gorse blazes golden on barren land. It teaches that abundance can be summoned even from wastelands. Creativity, sexuality, and prosperity burn bright if tended. Onn invites you to stoke the fire: light your desires without shame. Plant the seeds of future harvests with daring and joy.

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

 

 

 

 

Ailm Blocked

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

Blocked Fir falls into rigidity or despair. Are you standing so firm that you refuse to bend when you must? Are you pretending strength while hollow inside? Adaptability strengthens resilience. Stay alive to yourself—not frozen.

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