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. 01:38 Trista Meets Her Mentor 03:31 First Sacred Site Journeys 06:21 Earth-Based Mysticism Lessons 08:22 What Makes Sites Sacred 11:26 Primal Earth Energy Work 15:08 Mystic Path and Hidden Teachings 19:07 Trusting Intuition in Noise 23:51 Hawk Circle Vision and Land 29:51 Perfumery and Temple Scents 31:49 Essential Oils Impact 32:04 Ritual Perfumery Journey 33:11 Fairy Lore Explained 37:15 Threefold Path Teachings 40:14 Dragons and the Land 42:08 First Dragon Encounter 43:45 Connecting With Dragons 47:39 Awakening Landscape Dragons 48:38 Dragon Humor and Myths 53:31 New Earth Vision 56:41 When the Dark Mother Calls","meta_description":"Find out more about the Plant Cunning Conference – In-Person in New York – July 24-26, 2026 Today, AC & Isaac interview Trista Haggerty, author of Whe…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3825,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/plant-cunning-podcast-2048739/episodes/ep-234-earth-energy-dragons-and-faeries-with-trista-haggerty/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/plant-cunning-podcast-2048739/ep-234-earth-energy-dragons-and-faeries-with-trista-haggerty.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
