Past- Elation
As a representation of your past events you have drawn "Ailm" or Pine. Pine is an ogham which represents enthusiasm, ecstasy, and elation. It represents wonder and awe. It says that your past has been a time of peak experience, heightened consciousness, and discovered spiritual awareness. This is a good ogham to start this reading out with, and from what I remember of your past Kittycat, Pine is also the perfect representation of it. Your excitement and awe at anything new was and is one of your most endearing qualities, you were in love with the myriad of possibilities sometimes I think. There is a state of elation which comes with peak experiences which illuminate the mind, gradually heightening awareness, bringing an expansion of consciousness, where we can dwell in the endless sea of possibilities unfolding all around us all the time, this is Pine, and this is Kitty!
Life is a landscape, and it is this kind of enthusiasm which leads the dance between the worlds. Pine also speaks of the dawning of some great understanding as when a major part of the network of which we are each a part is revealed, though such things have been known to come with a measure of pain it is is always an illuminating experience. Such as the sudden understanding at how very fragile life and consciousness can be sometimes, grasping at what is passing, and fear of what lies outside the realm of comprehension.

Present-Spiritedness (upside down)
Eadha or Aspen is the representation of your present times. It has been drawn upside down which tells me you have become overwhelmed in fears, some of these have probably been brought on within the shadowy realms of the imagination, while others are very real. However you seem to be allotting them far more status than the deserve. Aspen is telling you of a need to confront and master your fears in turn, one at a time, the sorts of circumstances you find yourself in can never gain full victory unless the spirit is beaten, it seems to be time for you to face up to some of these fears of yours, lest they continue to weight on the soul...
Future-Enlightenment (upside down)
Coll or Hazel is the representation of your future events. it too has been drawn upside down and thus signifies a break in the quest for knowledge and wisdom of some sort and a block in the flow of the well of inspiration and creativity. Hazel is warning of a time when it will become difficult to be positive when not much more than flaws and short comings are visible of the world, others and yourself. Chances are at this point you are just tired on your quest and need some relaxation, or perhaps you've missed some illuminating piece of a puzzle and have become discouraged. You will need to identify the source of the block and deal with the problem there. Remember, no matter how it may look at the time, your quest isn't fruitless, none ever are. You simply need to view things from other angles to get a newer fresher perspective on things in general, and from there reclaim some of the excitement Pine spoke of.
Your over all reading
To represent your over-all reading I have drawn Huath, or Hawthorn, and this Ogham, to my mind represents the rest of your reading flawlessly. The beginning of the reading spoke of the dawn of your "flow" and the rest was obstacles, blockages, and obstructions. Hawthorn is telling you that what you're looking for isn't unachievable, but you may have to take the long way around to obtain it. Conditions will need to be met, possibly hostile forces will need to be dealt with.
According to legend the Hawthorn is a Faery tree which stands as a test to those who would pass and continue on their journeys, hawthorn tells you that what ever the problem is it can't be dealt with by force, you will need to use your head at this point, it will be the wisdom of the hazel which will help you continue on your path. Fear and doubt become the sharp thorns of the hawthorn tree, aggressively pushing will only cause you to become more entangled as it was with Blackthorn. Doubts and fears are "equal to a pack of wolves". Hawthorn is telling you that in order to push past the obstacles, you will need to draw from the wells of patients and wisdom.
Well there ya go Kittycat, I hope it makes sense to you.
