Please take this with the caveat that I don't know anything about either you or the Ogham, and so I am not trying to criticize you or re-interpret your reading but merely speaking what came to mind! It seems to me that you should maybe spend the time focusing on your family and take the opportunity to reflect upon what those experiences mean in terms of the occult training you've had.

If I may put a spiritual spin on this, Sallustius says "one may call the World a Myth," and what is the purpose of myths? "That we have to search and do not have our minds idle." So perhaps you should be taking your meditation themes from your everyday life, for the moment, rather than digging into anything exotic.

I'm on something of a Tao Te Ching kick today, I suppose, and I'm reminded of chapter 8:

The supreme good is like water,
which nourishes all things without trying to.
It is content with the low places that people disdain.
Thus it is like the Tao.

In dwelling, live close to the ground.
In thinking, keep to the simple.
In conflict, be fair and generous.
In governing, don't try to control.
In work, do what you enjoy.
In family life, be completely present.

When you are content to be simply yourself
and don't compare or compete,
everybody will respect you.

That is to say, maybe you're overthinking it!

Once again, please accept my wishes that you and your household be blessed!
