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

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.’

 

 

 

 

Current Thoughts

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.’

 

 

 

 

Suggested Thoughts

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.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Emotions

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.’

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

Émancholl

• Tree/Plant: Double Hazel / ‘Lover’s Vine’
• Kenning: ‘The Sacred Pair’

Émancholl is duality in harmony: the sacred twin, the mirror, the double thread. This glyph speaks to powerful relationships—those that complete you, challenge you, transform you. Be it a person, a dream, or a path, what you are entwined with now is sacred. Tend it. Honour the tension. Let it make you whole.

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

 

 

 

 

Current External Stance

Gort

• Tree/Plant: Ivy
• Kenning: ‘Tenacity of the Green Path’

Ivy is persistence incarnate. It climbs, winds, and survives where others perish. Gort urges you to endure, adapt, and climb steadily toward your light. Tenacity, not brute strength, wins the marathon of life. Let your spirit be evergreen, no matter how dark the stone you cling to.

• Spiritual Lesson: Persistence must serve true growth.
• Reflective Question: What am I climbing toward—and is it worth it?
• Affirmation: ‘I cling to the light that feeds me.’

 

 

 

 

Suggested External Stance

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.’
