Muin---(Grape) Vine  | Slain Lord of the Vine \| Inwardness-Patience-Harvest

  Tree: This refers to the grapevine and other vine-like bushes or brambles.  The Irish word muine means a thicket of any thorny plant, so the correlation of this Ogham with vine may be a late connection.  As a thorny thicket, it may be nearer to a tree than a vine.  Vine is the tree of joy, exhilaration and wrath.  The interlace design of the Vine is a sign of the intricacies of the subjective world made manifest in the objective.  The grapevine required meticulous care in order for it to bear fruit.  The Vine, as Wine, also conjures thoughts of the harvest when all of nature enters its passive, inwardly moving phase.  The powers of the earth retreat and promise new rebirth after the cold months of winter.  Wine from the Grape Vine is the fermented essence of the harvest containing the mystic essence of divine ecstasy.  Muin is the ritual libation, sacred to the Gods and Goddesses.
Expression: The Vine, like the Ivy, grows spirally.  But unlike the Ivy, the Vine is a symbol of resurrection, because its strength can be preserved in wine.  The Vine is also a symbol of the intertwining of the conscious and unconscious mind.  It is a sign of liberation from inhibitions and restricting knowledge and actions.  It is a gentle and systematic release from the constraints of logic and rationality.  This liberation does not come through an abandonment of logic, or a drunken suppression of control, but through the full understanding of the interweaving (in the fashion of the Vine) of the inner and outer, the upper and lower realms.  In the aspect of the Wine, it also carries the representation of the fruits of one's labors.  Wine is the representation of the harvest and it is a culmination of many years of hard work.
Divination: Muin indicates that you will find some inner key to your problems, that they await an inspired solution.  It is time to turn your awareness within to your conscious and unconscious self.  External work will be being superseded by internal activity.  Inner development will be occurring, so you need to take time for this to occur.  Solutions to problems may come from unexpected quarters.  You must be strong enough to be patient because right now, patience is great power.  Also, it is now time to enjoy the fruits of your labors, and reap the rewards of right actions.  Hard work is finished and it is time to be rewarded for labors.  It is harvest time, so do not allow the fruits of your labors to lay rotting upon the ground.
The Challenge of the Vine Ogham is that you may not be following your instincts.  You may feel that your inner emotions and thoughts are tangled in such a way that you become confused of your true feelings, thoughts and emotions.  Be careful not to become blind to truth.  You are being too aggressive or being too impressionable and there is a lack of self determination.  A lack of patience could lead to further trouble.  There is a danger of becoming lost in your own subjective, intoxicating enthusiasms.  You are not able to enjoy the fruits of your own labors, or bad timing could lead to unfulfilled dreams or a waste of resources.  The negative effects of over indulgence, intoxication, or irrational thought are possible.
