Moon which Manifests Truthhealing, robe of the physician NGEADAL/nGETAL ("NYEH-tl") - Reed - "Ng" - October; finding order in chaos, direction; the ability to make spiritual weapons; arrows, bowman. Reed in Scottish is "giolc," Irish "giolcach," Early Irish "gilcach."
Tree: Ngetal may refer to the common Reed or to the Broom. The Reed is a plant which grows straight up out of marshy and wet land near the sea or lakes. In all events, this plant is one noted for its straight and flexible stems. It is also the wood used by the Kelts to make pens for writing, and thus it is also a symbol of communication.
Expression: In this Ogham there is the union of complementary opposites. It is the roaring of the sea, the dynamism of that which is forever steady. It is that aspect of the Otherworld which has to do with the harmony between the conscious world and the unconscious reality existing side by side with that which we perceive. There is something essential about how we can handle the destruction of things in our lives. It is a sign of growth reintegration following destruction and breakdown.
Divination: Ngetal is a sign of harmony between this realm and those beyond it. You must bring harmony into your life for this will bring a unity of purpose and will. Inner direction and outer manifestation will seem to flow together in a harmonious fashion. You may need to challenge the elements within your environment in order to bring this harmony into your life. To accomplish this, elements may need to be harmonized, broken down, and reintegrated. Although things may seem to be threatening and even destructive, they must be dealt with. If you have the courage, contact with these powers of fluctuation and alteration can be a source of strength and illumination. A few surprises could pop up out of unexpected areas. Therefore, there needs to be a high level of ability to adapt and modify things to your will and purpose.
The Challenge of the Reed Ogham is an inability to adapt harmoniously to various fluctuating forces in your life. There may be a refusal to face some inevitable change or something passing away. Or surprises could catch you off your guard an cause intense stress. Inner chaos and distress could cause the link with your personal Gods and Goddesses, to be temporarily broken. In any case, there will be great difficulty in your attempt to harmonize your life. Spiritual impoverishment is a possibility. There may also be a great deal of turmoil and anxiety manifesting in your life. The solution is to be found in a new sense of purpose and direction.
NGetal in The Fifths
Mide, Center: Ngetal in Focus is Stability.
A harmonious and stable foundation is in focus right now. All elements tend to blend well together and you are well prepared to handle any changes that may occur.
Seis, South: Ngetal in Fire is Beauty.
You need to learn how to bring beauty and harmony into your personal realm. It is time to learn how to encourage peace and harmony rather than stirring up dissention.
Fis, West: Ngetal in Water is Acceptance.
What you need to do to regain balance and harmony is to become more accepting of those things that fluctuate and change in your life. Do not fight inevitable or necessary changes, for the only thing in life that we can be certain of is the fact that things will always change.
Cath, North: Ngetal in Earth is Surprise.
A great surprise is about to manifest. Something that you can not anticipate is about to enter your life and the only way to prepare for it is to prepare for change.
Blath, East: Ngetal in Air is Inflexibility.
Your unwillingness to change, or accept change, is what is in conflict. The more this change is resisted, the more destructive it will become when it finally manifests.
