I woke up at 4 am with a headache again. Tom being the sweet man that he is got up and got me ibuprofen. It hung around all day and I have taken something for it every 4 hours. This is very annoying as it drags me out and makes it difficult for me to feel like doing anything.
Tom on the other hand actually got some work done. He graded the driveway, and mowed the camping areas and circle area for BelSummer with the tractor. We still have to get out and check out the cauldron area, mow the trail to it, and check out the trail to the cave and the cave itself. I did manage to go out with the hand mower to mow close to the 7 altars around the tree. Tom got the larger area with the 5 ft wide bush mower but he knocked one of the altars over so we won't do it that way again. The altars haven't been consecrated yet so I didn't feel too badly.
Some of the ritual details haven't been finished yet though I have ideas for them. I haven't decided quite what to do for the Oracle ritual and I haven't written up the closing ritual. The cave ritual is pretty simple and Tom can wing that. I may end up just winging the Oracle ritual as well. I have been feeling much more confident about my priestessing. It must be due to working with the trances and thinking about the work because I haven't been doing any more ritual than usual for the most part.
