Doing divination with the Runes was actually the first occult thing I learned to do, and since then I've also picked up the Ogham. I do a daily reading for myself with one or the other, and as needed for specific questions where I'm looking for guidance. But I've never done a reading for someone else, and I think it's time I give that a shot.

So! Do you have a question that some additional information might help? A decision you're contemplating? If so, let me know in the comments and I'll do my best to answer. Fair warning, as I said, this is my first shot at other folks' questions, so I can't guarantee how helpful or accurate I'll be! That being said, I wouldn't be offering this if I didn't think I could help.

In your comment, let me know your question, any details or context you think might be relevant that you're willing to share, and whether you'd like me to consult the Ogham or the Runes. For what it's worth, I tend to go to the Ogham for spiritual or magical questions and the Runes for life-direction or practical questions, but I've used both for all sorts of questions. If you have a simple "yes/no" question, I find that easier with the Runes.

With all that out of the way, fire away!
Thanks everyone, but this offer is now closed! Next time I'm offering readings, I'll post here again.

Starting Devotion work with Loki

From: (Anonymous)
Hi Jeff, many thanks indeed for offering this service!

I recently had a divination done that advised me starting a devotional practice to Loki would be beneficial to me. This was done by a respected Heathen diviner. I'm not Heathen myself so the choice of pantheon (and, particularly, divinity!) was very surprising...

So I wouldn't mind a second opinion, something along the lines of whether taking up some sort of devotion work with Loki would be beneficial to me. I guess Runes would be more appropiate given the context, but I leave it to your discretion.

Many thanks again!

Dear Jeff, Thank you for the reading despite that fact that it is not joyful.  Here is some insight that may help you to make sense of the reading. I am hesitant to start my new job because I prefer to be a gardener and mother-but they do not pay the bills.  My new job is with my best friend and I am nervous because she has high expectations of me and I can see that she will not have the time to help me get started in an industry where I do not know much.  (I will be selling vending machines to EMS and Hospitals and Agencies that provide harm reduction services). As for the Algiz, I have to admit I have spent the last three years in a state of panic after I realized that the governments all around the world are trying  to kill as many of us as possible.  It has been a horrible realization that most of what I believed to be true is false.  I think this threatens my well-being regardless of my job which is the reason I spend most of my extra time in the garden! So, if the runes where sensing my hesitation they were correct.  I will start the job and see how it goes.  My main sales objective is always to help and to meet interesting people.  I am intuitive and curious and have been able to make a difference to people through the mundane work of selling. I am not surprised that this job is not my true path.  However, I am a skilled and talented sales person and I would like to spend more time with my best friend.

Please let me know if this provides any clarity to your interpretation of the reading.

In all earnest, the initial divination was a generic one, with no question, so I'm not sure if the same rule would apply here, but caveat accepted! and thanks again!

Dear Jeff, I agree with you and I thank you for your insight. This reading has inspired me to draw the line on the gloom porn and to spend the same amount of time in prayer, meditation and gardening.

Thanks, Jeff! Ouch, for sure. It makes a heck of a lot of sense though and I wonder if it means my plans are not very exact yet.

I have approached two city officials and I never get a reply. I always get their voice mail and they never follow up. I'm learning as I grow older that people in government (and in most institutions, private and public) really do not want to put any effort into anything, even if it is for their benefit. So this reading strongly reflects that.

I don't want to give up on the idea, though and I'll let you know if anything happens. But you may not hear from me for a year or two!

Thanks again. I really appreciate the time you took to help me.

Re: Thinking of quitting my job

I’m sitting here laughing as I read this. You, sir, are the real thing. I deliberately provided no information beyond asking the question, not wanting to influence the outcome. So there is no way you could have known…

First, your dadgum runes must be in cahoots with my i-ching. The time is not right, it says. The way is not ready. Not what I wanted to hear, obviously. Wanted to hear that I was justified in quitting etc etc etc

I suppose it is possible that I am misunderstanding the situation. It seems to me that I have caught the 2nd in command of the company taking some shortcuts that are potentially deadly (literally: we deal with hospitals). I sure hope I’m misunderstanding anyway.

But as for timing and talking it over, I brought it up with one of the other employees who I usually don’t confide in just this morning and while he agreed he had seen the same thing I had seen, he said forthrightly he couldn’t afford to go on attack. He needs this job. We talked some more, and I learned he has additional concerns about the way we (as a company) do some other things too. Anyhow, there is a conference next week, at which we will both be doing presentations. He said he is presenting his concerns as a sales pitch, and had some useful suggestions that calmed me down a bit (not easy to do: I’ve been keeping my mouth shut about this guy for a couple years and seething at this most recent, potentially deadly transgression, for almost 3 weeks). His advice (perfectly reasonable now that I’ve calmed enough to hear it) present it as a class on how to handle a situation such as I had witnessed (as if it were a theoretical situation) and let the discussion unfold from there. I can always quit later if things don’t improve. I agreed and promised in any case I’d do my best to limit collateral damage (ie NOT get him in trouble too).

Oh, and the career change I’m considering? Serving an ancestral god: I had already (two months ago) begun the process of application to holy orders, which if I am accepted would mean leaving here and going off to seminary in 2024. (Wtf? a potential christian priest asking a heathen for a divination? Yep. Sometimes I don’t hear so good and my god has to ask one of the other guys to do him the favor of shouting at me a bit).

Thank you Jeff, I am not discouraged and it was I who asked so no worries!

I am taking this not too negatively whatsoever. When I thought of the question my specific area was in more ambitious targets. Which maybe would be like trying to reach 2 places at once, or planning my next stop before I know what I will find at my first.

For myself currently I don't feel depressed and my ambitious drive was rather to see if I could push myself more or if I may have set the bar too low, which I don't think I did.

I am definitely due to my "PMC" environment in a balancing act of obligations so this is a long term goal I have put myself on and am always mindful that I do not have the luxury at this time of taking a risk so major it risks my existing livelihood.

Of course, I may never see how things really are, but I would say the part which did feel off to me is depressed or hopeless as I feel very far from that. I do anticipate friction as with all risks.

Regardless, I very much appreciate you taking the time and effort to do this for me and would be happy to have you practice more for others if that is something you plan on continuing to offer.

Sometimes too when I do my own divinations I feel a sense of oh no what have I drawn, but I always am reminded of the timeframe or conditions I am asking of. Sometimes it is just a weekend, or a tiny sliver. I tend to stay away from grand questions as they are incomprehensible to me. Here I've really asked, should I up my goal from generating income ONCE this year from my idea, and to be honest, I think that is plenty ambitious and if I surpass it then I will have earned within myself the right to set the next goal and the next, as it should be. Like a ship going from port to port, one at a time.

Hello! I saw your comment on ecosophia and I’d be grateful for your time. I was wondering—what would help my relationship to improve?

Many thanks Jeff!

Interesting that you got Berkano, with its associations with Loki!

More to ponder yet, I think... I´m certainly not one willing to end on the wrong side of the Allfather, though my original divination was made by a long-standing devotee of both Loki and Odin, and Odin was not in the picture (though Frey was).

Hi Jeff, thanks for offering this. I am starting the process of job hunting. I would like to know if I should concentrate my efforts in any particular area, above and beyond just the normal steps of polishing up my resume and applying for positions that fit my skill set. Suffering from burn out from my last job, really hate job hunting in general.

Greetings, Jeff. Thank you for offering this service. I understand it's new for you to try divinations for others, but it appears your intuition has keyed in a lot of people's situations quite effectively so far.

I am seeking to move out of my current apartment into a cohousing or shared apartment situation, in response to a reduced budget. I sense this is a bit of a karmic trial for me, as I didn't take one great housing opportunity I had and now am choosing among more mediocre options. I'm less interested in identifying the best place to move into at this time, so much as understanding what I should understand about this housing search as it relates to me - what about me is being tested by this search? The way you've been phrasing question has been helpful - let's go with similar phrasing: "what does Anon need to know about his current housing search?" You can adjust the question as needed.

Thank you in advance!

Interesting! Yes, our relationship is troubled. I think my partner has mentioned me needing to be more disciplined financially. I was wondering more about the archetypes? I don’t quite understand what they are or how they could present a problem.
