A Dragon Tale: Clearing a Dark Witch in the Woods

Author’s note: I’ve decided to start sharing some of the stories I have from my 5D healing and spiritual work with my crystals and spirit guides.

These stories are primarily for my Istari, the magical students who train with me in my Istaria Crystallis® Mystery School, as they will understand the context better, but anyone is welcome to read them if they’re curious as to how much deeper we can go with our crystal healing work.

In 5D crystal healing we can go beyond the chakras, and work with the consciousness of our crystals (like spirit guides) to channel crystalline frequencies beyond space and time — a type of “quantum healing”. We can work with our crystal allies to drop us into trance states where we can spirit journey into different realms of consciousness (an experience akin to shamanic journeying or psychotropic practices), and receive healing guidance and medicine.

To learn more about this work you can email me or visit my mystery school site.

We’ve Discovered a Dark Witch in the Back Woods…

Krista's back garden leading to the forest's edge.

There is a forest at the back of my garden gate. I've walked the trails in there for years, wizard's staff in hand, speaking to the trees and following the meandering path.

This has always been a happy forest, but in recent months I've felt an encroaching darkness. Something not right, something feeling off. 

I tuned in to it, searching for the cause: I asked the spirits of the trees, but they told me to let it be. So I did — it's always important to honor boundaries in our light work.

A girl had gone missing on the far side of the woods in December. Strangely there'd been no police search. It was assumed she'd joined squatters in the woods, and that it was drug-related. As she was no longer a minor it didn’t seem to concern anybody (which in my opinion is very sad).

Something tugged at me about it, though, and one day in a dragon journey I was unexpectedly drawn into the forest, to a spot where a girl was sick and held captive in some dark, energetic way.

My dragon told me that she was ensnared by a “dark witch” – an elemental spirit (so not human) who was feeding off this girl's energy. Unfortunately this happens a lot with drug use, I saw it often in New York City. Both drug and alcohol abuse weaken the aura and spirit and make it easy for dark entities to enter.

This was the darkness I'd felt in the woods, and my dragon had pulled me there because the spirit of the girl was calling out for help.

Well, you know me, I answered the call, and we engaged in quite the battle with this dark elemental. Even the might Phoenix spirit flew in at one point.

We managed to free the girl's spirit, but not, alas, to clear the dark elemental. Again, we have to honor boundaries, and this went outside the scope of the request for help.

We had to leave it, and trust it to the spirits of the forest and the higher powers. In the meantime, though, I had to tend to my dragon who had become injured in the skirmish.

Now, this really shocked me! I didn't know that our dragon guardians could become injured, they seem so all-powerful and mighty. And yet, my dragon's back left foot had been harmed by the elemental's magic.

I felt terribly guilty. I believe I even cried, but I was told not worry: We did what we had to do, and he would mend. I asked how, and was told that he needed to return to the dragon realm for a little while (author's note: he's already back in action).

How Dragon’s Heal

It is in the dragon realm that the dragons restore themselves. There is a healing pool with crystal clear waters into which they can enter and emerge as new.

And so my dragon dropped me off in the mists, at the gate of the Otherworld (a realm into which we can journey to meet with ancestors, or revisit lost places and civilizations), so that I could safely return to my own realm, and I watched as he flew off to the Otherworld.

So in summary, my friends: Yes, our spirit guardians and guides can sometimes take a hit for us. This is why we should always work with them wisely and respectfully, and sincerely love and appreciate what they do for us.

Like my dragon, your guide or guardian will always find healing in their own realm. After all, for every curse in nature there is a cure.

It is also pertinent for me to point out at this time that you can also sustain harm in a journey, though with all the prep work I've taught you this is highly unlikely: The Crystallines really do know what they're doing, and they've taught us very well.

The moral of the story: Honor boundaries. Answer the call if your soul say YES. Follow your dragon's guidance. And if you or them ever sustain injury and are not sure what to do, I am an email away…

Stay on the lightside this month my friends! I love you all so dearly.
