Puzzle Description:

According to the Dictionary of Celtic Mythology, "bulls were used in divination in both Ireland and Scotland." There was even a ritual called the "tarbfheis," in which a seer would drink the blood of a bull and then sleep. Then, four druids would chant an incantation over him, and he would dream about the next king.

Excellent puzzle, it was tricky through-out the whole puzzle, which I love, and the final image was very good. I also appreciated the information in the description as I have always been interested in anything Celtic. Thanx :)

It is tricky, but I'm a taurus so I bullied my way through it.
Keep making these, T, they are lovely

Over the top Theresa! It was tough but it made me feel so accomplished when I finished it. The image is outstanding. All over excellent job. Thank you so much for the challenge!

Wonderful information on you puzzle subject. Ties into the Arthurian legend. Or maybe I should say that the Arthurian legend is kind of the "people's" version of the ritual you described. Lovely job! Thanks again. ^>^

Good puzzle,enjoyed very much
