Druid dream: Moonstone requires sacrifice (blood), tree of life established after the battle of the gods, symbol of life and rebirth. Completed a ritual by cutting my hand and leaving a drop of blood on moonstone. Took a piece of moonstone (too heavy), touched the tree. A white branch grew on my left hand. I was named the prophet.
