My columns are always white... with green gardens and heavily topiaried bushes.... but I get the impression that you were cutting through what many call a veil..thru to a to another dimension.. world... and...

maybe because I just happened to look up druid magic today... I get the impression that it was something like a Druidic initiation.. learning.. hence all these references to circles...
the bleeding reminds me of the many psychics who say that so many weird things.. coincidences.. manifestations happen to me because my reality is intertwined.. bleeds into many dimensions... sometimes when I am not truly focused in the Now.. especially in the past.. as via numerous coincidences I barely slept for more that 2 or 3 hours a day for a couple of decades.. I was often on the brink of sleep.. so I often experienced what could only be described as other realities in my now... I would bump into invisible walls.. feel splashes when there was nothing there step in holes that did not exist.. feel winds.. sun.. cold... that did not relate to my now...feel cuts.. scratches... could see moving shapes shadows.. fogs.. glimpses of other realities.. feel emotions.. thoughts attached.. almost that if I shut my eyes and allowed myself to let go.. I would be there...in other worlds...had people there I knew...
These felt almost as real as this world...
So I get the feeling that maybe you could have opened one of these realities.. and could be on some level now co-existing in this other world. the blue flame is one often seen as .... transmutation....
But to the Druids, this special blue light was a religious tool
Samuel???
the biblical one? or
The First Book of Samuel
Did Samuel frighten you? Or did you feel peace?

were you to be anointed or trained as the next potential ruler in that world???
