Beltaine, and my IDGAF dedicant period coming to a close
It's halfway through November and I am only just getting around to blogging about my Beltaine ritual. My apologies! I have been experiencing some health issues (fatigue, headaches) that have been impacting upon my ability to literally even update my blog.

I'm not much of a Pagan these days.

What you did for Samhain sounds lovely. I would more accurately say that you aren't much of a practicing Pagan, since your beliefs are still Pagan.

It's great that you use CBT and DBT skills. What you do in bed at night sounds a lot like meditation, clearing your head especially. So it's good that you do that because meditation is so beneficial. I notice the difference so much when I don't do it.

Take care of yourself. Much love to you. :) xx
