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

Nion Blocked

• Tree/Plant: Ash
• Kenning: ‘World-Tree of the Ancestors’

When Ash is blocked, there is disconnection from purpose—an aimless, rootless drift. You may have forgotten who you are, or worse, whose shoulders you stand upon. Traditions misused become chains; traditions honoured become wings. Find your bloodline, your soul-line, your myth. Rebuild your bridge to the past to walk boldly into the future.

• Spiritual Lesson: True growth demands humility before the unseen web of life.
• Reflective Question: What legacy am I weaving with my daily choices?
• Affirmation: ‘I walk the worlds rooted and crowned.’

 

 

 

 

Suggested Thoughts

Coll Blocked

• Tree/Plant: Hazel
• Kenning: ‘Wellspring of Wisdom’

Blocked Hazel creates confusion, ignorance, or misuse of knowledge. Perhaps you seek easy answers where there are none, or hoard knowledge without application. Wisdom is not merely knowing; it is knowing when, and how, and why. Choose discernment over cleverness.

• Spiritual Lesson: Wisdom must be lived, not stored.
• Reflective Question: What hidden knowledge am I being invited to embrace?
• Affirmation: ‘I drink from the sacred well.’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current Emotions

Huathe

• Tree/Plant: Hawthorn
• Kenning: ‘Thorn of Protection’

Hawthorn is the guardian hedge—neither hostile nor tame, but fiercely loyal to its sacred task. Huathe asks you to protect what is holy: your heart, your dreams, your boundaries. Sacred spaces need walls. Not everything and everyone deserves access to your inner garden. Wield your thorn wisely—defend, but do not imprison yourself.

• Spiritual Lesson: True protection is conscious, not reactionary.
• Reflective Question: What am I defending, and is it truly sacred?
• Affirmation: ‘I protect without imprisoning.’

 

 

 

 

Suggested Emotions

Saille

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

The Willow bends but does not break. Saille teaches the mastery of emotion—the art of yielding without defeat. Here, grief is not an enemy but a river to be crossed, danced with, and honoured. Your feelings are powerful allies, not burdens. Dreamtime, prophecy, and creativity surge through the Willow’s domain. Trust your tears, your visions, your poetic instincts. They are the currents carrying you toward deeper wisdom.

• 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.’

 

 

 

 

Current External Stance

Ór

• Tree/Plant: Spindle Tree
• Kenning: ‘Weaver’s Gold’

Ór is the thread that weaves fate. Spindle wood was used to craft tools that spin—and so too do you spin destiny now, strand by strand. This glyph teaches prosperity through precision, elegance through focused intention. What you spin now will clothe your future. Choose your pattern with care.

• Spiritual Lesson: Destiny is not found—it is crafted.
• Reflective Question: What thread must I pick up now, even if it scares me?
• Affirmation: ‘I spin my future with sacred hands.’

 

 

 

 

Suggested External Stance

Uilleann

• Tree/Plant: Honeysuckle
• Kenning: ‘Hidden Sweetness’

Uilleann wraps and winds—sweetness found not in plain sight, but in spirals. This is the glyph of unseen blessings and secret pathways. Trust the detour. Trust the fragrance that pulls at your soul. Follow what draws you, not what shouts at you. Life’s richest nectar is rarely on the main road.

• Spiritual Lesson: Not all that tempts is treasure—but real treasure rarely announces itself.
• Reflective Question: What unseen blessing have I ignored?
• Affirmation: ‘I follow sweetness hidden in shadow.’
