The magic wand
Which branch will you choose? Look to the ground and follow your intuition... The powers of a tree's essence manifest as soon as it is recognized, named, and awakened by magical whispers. Thus, a mysterious connection is established, allowing you to connect with the surrounding trees and animals.
The miniature celtic village
Each tree is an echo of the past. Every twig, every leaf, every blade of grass collected tells a story. Gather these treasures of nature and shape them to bring to life a hamlet, where the memories of ancient Celtic villagers will resonate.
The miraculous potion
The plants with ancient virtues are carefully gathered, their properties blending in the cauldron. A wand twirls, and a healing wish rises, infusing the elixir with its finest qualities.
