Let me show you a tree at the center of all-there-is…
…and the sacred fire ever burning at its roots where all-that-is is ever created and re-created.
Let me welcome you back home.
On January 9 from 12:00 -1:15 pm PT, join us for a free webinar with Crystal Woodling — A lineage Appalachian witch, clinical herbalist, Hellenistic astrologer, yogini, poet, and former literature professor.
In this restorative transmission, Crystal will tell you the forgotten medicine story of how we first separated ourselves from the body, will, and voice of the Goddess and her World Tree in Ancient Sumer.
The Sumerians were the first people to have their nervous systems and psyches severed from their roots giving birth to humanity’s first experiences of depression, anxiety, and purposelessness.
In working ritually with this medicine story, we will learn how we can re-root our nervous systems back into the Goddess’ World Tree from which they first grew–connecting us back with our ancestors, guides, the celestial lights above, and the plants, microbes, and animals below.
Plus: Get an exclusive sneak peek into Crystal's upcoming course — Goddess Medicine: An Alchemical Reunion with the Earth.
In this 60-minute complimentary session, you will learn...
- How to work with plant teachers to consciously wield light from the heavens for manifestation and healing
- How to upgrade your nervous system so it can hold more memory and function with more resilience and intelligence
- How to tie your memory and your nervous system to your ecosystem so that you can make decisions with more certainty and wisdom
- The root of our society’s disconnection from the wisdom of the Earth and what we can do about it.
- Plus: Get an exclusive sneak peek into Crystal's upcoming course that begins January 21st— Goddess Medicine: An Alchemical Reunion with the Earth.
Why Join?
Here at the World Tree of the Great Goddess we know what is and isn’t us.
We know what is and is not for us.
We know what is ours to keep and what is ours to give back to the flame.
We know what is ours to carry, what is ours to mend, and what is ours to give back to the Goddess.
The World Tree of the Great Goddess is the blueprint for our nervous systems. And it is here where we are meant to root and receive nourishment, wisdom, and guidance throughout our time here on Earth.
But sadly, many have forgotten how to return to the tree…
…because we forgot how we were first severed from it.

Crystal Woodling is a lineage Appalachian witch, clinical herbalist, Hellenistic astrologer, yogini, poet, and former literature professor.
She was born and raised in Appalachia, in landscapes shaped by both deep beauty and deep extraction. Growing up in coal country—where the wounds of land and people are inseparable—formed the roots of her life’s work and her lifelong inquiry into how cultures learn to live in relationship with the Earth.
Crystal has over twenty years of somatic and yogic study, eighteen years of herbal medicine practice, and more than a decade of committed ceremonial study with indigenous and folk medicine carriers. Her path bridges scholarship and lived transmission, holding ancient texts alongside oral tradition, ritual practice, and direct relationship with land and plant intelligence.
She has guided hundreds of students and clients in healing chronic illness, reclaiming embodied knowing, and remembering how to live in right relationship with the living world. Her teachings are known for their depth, clarity, and grounded devotion.
Crystal teaches full-time and co-directs The School of Heaven and Earth with her husband, Matthew Merlin, continuing to pass on the old ways of listening through story, ritual, and communion with the Earth.
What previous students say about Crystal Woodling
“Just want you to know how grateful I am to have you as a teacher. I’m usually fairly skeptical. Even with those I “trust” I manage to have some level of reservation. The fact that I have ZERO doubts about your healing wisdom (and your heart) says a lot and confirms that I am in the right place. Because of my skepticism, I’m always on the lookout for better. In this case, there is nothing better.
I am on my path. With clear guidance and direction. And zero reservations. You are a BIG part of why I feel so confident that I have finally found my footing.
When the student is ready, the teacher appears.
Thank you teacher. Thank you ”
JEANA BROWN
“Crystal is an exquisite, magical, lazer-like teacher/astrologer/channeler/intuitive/ herbalist/healer/guide. It’s rare to find someone so present, caring, attuned, curious, sensitive, and empathic.
She has played a huge role in helping me shed addictions that have held me hostage for years.
She truly has genius multi-dimensional skills to support you through a deep learning process of reclaiming your power through both the strengths and challenges of your unique nature.
Also, is there any greater gift than the feeling of being truly ‘seen’ & understood? Crystal possesses the x-ray vision that can penetrate underneath and beyond the surface, and the eagle eyes that can take in the bigger picture, able to honor multiple angles, perspectives and threads with grace.
Her illuminating intelligence and massive heart shine like the Sun, and I am so grateful for her being-ness in this world.
Hire her - and prepare yourself to enjoy a fascinating journey! ”
JENNIFER PIERCY
“I was in a rut when I began working with Crystal. I found myself wanting change but not knowing where or how to begin. I was not sure what astrology could do for me but I knew I wanted a change.
Speaking with Crystal was very easy and I felt an immediate connection and openness within her. Through our sessions I have gained insight on why certain times of my life have been effortless and when times may feel heavy. Along with the awareness of heavy times Crystal provides aid during these periods by sharing herbs and rituals that ease the passage of these times.
Crystal has also helped me in gaining insight on themes my children may be going through which has allowed me to become a more empathetic parent. I couldn’t recommend working with Crystal enough and am thankful I have taken this step towards gaining a deeper understanding of myself. ”
