Cailleach Ritual Bowl

A shallow stone bowl set into the central altar, its concave hollow dark with absorbed red liquid as the Druids pour their offerings. Its edges ring faintly with the same crimson glow pulsing from the altar, deepening as the ritual reaches its climax. The bowl’s porous surface drinks in the liquid with increasing speed, feeding the altar’s transforming ruby core that throbs in time with the chanting voices.
