‘They’re enacting the winter solstice [in a prehistoric cavern]. I was in the cavern by the carved Bowles when I noticed blood dripping down my forearm. I was embarrassed and wiped it away and tried to rub my hand clean on the bowl. I heard in my mind’s ear ‘blood has been exchanged…’ When I came out huge digs [on?] two places were on my arm and now I have two scars that look like runes.’ ‘I knew it was a holy place of the Tuatha Dr Dannan.’
