Game Plan Layout

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.

Ngetal

  • Tree/Plant: Reed
  • Kenning: ‘Voice of the Waters’
Reed sings in the marshes—a simple stalk, yet a carrier of songs and messages. Ngetal reminds you that true communication is born of humility and clarity. Speak, but also listen. Your voice can guide or heal, if you align it with spirit. Let your truth ripple across the waters.

  • 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.’

 

 

 

 

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.’

 

 

 

 

Émancholl Blocked

  • Tree/Plant: Double Hazel / ‘Lover’s Vine’
  • Kenning: ‘The Sacred Pair’
Blocked Émancholl is entanglement without purpose. You may be caught in patterns that mirror old pain, not new growth. Not all bonds are sacred. Some vines must be cut to allow new growth.

  • Spiritual Lesson: True connection is mutual transformation.
  • Reflective Question: What relationship calls me to become more than myself?
  • Affirmation: ‘I grow through sacred union.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.’

 

 

 

 

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.’
