Path Layout

 

 

Difficulty: Easy

For the Path reading, one asks for suggestions how to behave properly to achieve a desired result. The Current column represents how the reader has been acting, and the Suggestedcolumn suggests how they should act to achieve a certain goal. The chart-like layout uses the standard three levels: Rational, Emotional, and External Stance (how one projects oneself outwardly). When comparing the Current and Suggested oghams, the most important thing is to notice the differences between the two oghams. It is these differences which hint at the behaviours that should be altered.

Ogham #1 is the significator, the ogham which should reflect the nature of the query and/or the desired outcome.

Ogham #2 shows the way the reader is and has been thinking. Ogham #7 suggests how to change the way one thinks to serve themselves better.

Ogham #3 suggests the reader's emotional attitude. Though it may seem difficult to manipulate one's own emotions, it can be done if one puts their mind to it. For example, acting a certain way such as smiling intently for a few minutes will lead the emotions to follow. When a person tries this, as silly as the exercise seems, they find this to evoke the emotion of happiness. For this reading, one should try to make themselves feel the way that Ogham #6 suggests.

External Stance means how one acts outwardly, how they hope others see them. Ogham #4 is about how the reader has been acting, while #5 indicates how they should act outwardly, for other people's sake. It is the differences between these oghams that hint at what behaviour patterns should be altered.

The Significator

Muin

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

Muin winds and weaves, bringing sweetness and sacred intoxication. It reminds you that connection can be heady—friendships, love, spiritual ecstasy. Embrace emotional entanglement without losing yourself. Trust the dance of give and take. Sacred intoxication frees the soul; debasement chains it.

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

 

 

 

 

Current Thoughts

Iodhadh Blocked

• Tree/Plant: Yew
• Kenning: ‘Tree of Death and Continuity’

Blocked Yew is fear of endings so deep, it calcifies life itself. You cling to what's gone rotten rather than face the sacred unknown. Let death do its work. Let silence speak. New roots must drink from ancient soil.

• Spiritual Lesson: Death is not the end—it is the sacred beginning beneath all beginnings.
• Reflective Question: What am I clinging to that refuses to die cleanly?
• Affirmation: ‘I descend to rise.’

 

 

 

 

Suggested Thoughts

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.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Emotions

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.’

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

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.’

 

 

 

 

Current External Stance

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.’

 

 

 

 

Suggested External Stance

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.’
