<p>Find out more about the <a href="https://plantcunningconference.com/">Plant Cunning Conference – In-Person in New York – July 24-26, 2026</a>Today, AC &amp; Isaac interview Trista Haggerty, author of <em>When the Dark Mother Calls</em>, about her path into mysticism after a dark night of the soul and two decades of mentoring with a German mystic while traveling to sacred sites in places such as Peru and Ireland. They discuss what makes power spots sacred, stone circles as “acupuncture,” and caves as initiation spaces, plus practices for trusting intuition through body-based discernment. Trista shares her work at Hawk Circle, a couple-hundred-acre land project where she’s building stone circle, trails, and a perfumery inspired by Egyptian temple recipes to fund youth nature programs. The conversation also explores fairies, dragons, the “threefold path,” and her upcoming talk at the Plant Cunning Conference (July 24–26) alongside other speakers.</p><p><br></p><p>01:38 Trista Meets Her Mentor</p><p>03:31 First Sacred Site Journeys</p><p>06:21 Earth-Based Mysticism Lessons</p><p>08:22 What Makes Sites Sacred</p><p>11:26 Primal Earth Energy Work</p><p>15:08 Mystic Path and Hidden Teachings</p><p>19:07 Trusting Intuition in Noise</p><p>23:51 Hawk Circle Vision and Land</p><p>29:51 Perfumery and Temple Scents</p><p>31:49 Essential Oils Impact</p><p>32:04 Ritual Perfumery Journey</p><p>33:11 Fairy Lore Explained</p><p>37:15 Threefold Path Teachings</p><p>40:14 Dragons and the Land</p><p>42:08 First Dragon Encounter</p><p>43:45 Connecting With Dragons</p><p>47:39 Awakening Landscape Dragons</p><p>48:38 Dragon Humor and Myths</p><p>53:31 New Earth Vision</p><p>56:41 When the Dark Mother Calls</p>
