Who is Crystal, The Seer-By-Touch & Healer? How Can She Assist You?
Crystal BlackCreek Carlisle (Onyinyechi-Chipo) is an Ordained Healer/ Priestess, Medicine Woman, Seer-By-Touch, (a channel of spiritual healing), who can assist you with spiritual, physical, emotional, & psychological pain & issues in your life, career direction, motivation, & focus, relationships, medical & healing crises, grief, impasses, mental blocks, & stuckness, with powerful spiritual counsel & spiritual healing medicine.
As is common in West African and West Central African dibia, sangoma, inyanga, and nanga traditions and Native American Indigenous shamanic traditions and medicine ways, she, (Crystal), is one called, chosen, initiated, trained, developed, and guided by spirit, “The Creator and the ancestors” in matters of spiritual counsel (spiritual advisement) and spiritual energy healing. She is one who received the healing song and, therefore, is a “mother-of-song” and “seer-by-touch”. She also specializes in assisting individuals with ancestral connection & healing of ancestral patterns handed down, that some may call “generational” or “ancestral wounds.”
She was given her birth name, Crystal, (a name that her maternal grandmother insisted she be named, before her unusual, premature birth), Then,as a toddler, Crystal was nicknamed “Crystal Ball” by her maternal great-grandmother, (who in later years, came to Crystal, “in the spirit”, during a meditation retreat, to instruct her on how to “lay hands” or do (hands-on-healing) and she also informed Crystal that she was a “seer-by-touch.” Then, out-of-the blue, within a few days of that message, Crystal was invited by a new acquaintance to her first Reiki Circle for healers, that were all doing hands-on-healing, which, subsequently, became a part of Crystal’s energy healing training. Crystal is of Muscogee Creek ancestry, (more specifically, BlackCreek), her tribal name. She was given the names Chipo & Onyinyechi by spirit, during training and her initiation, both meaning “gift” and “gift of God” in her ancestral Igbo and Shona tribal languages, respectively. This means that she carries the gift of channeling spiritual healing, which she expresses through many gifts. It is, therefore, her calling to facilitate spiritual healing in all she does, on behalf of her African and Native American Indigenous ancestors, for the benefit of past, present, and future generations and the world. She does this through offering: spiritual counsel, spiritual healing, spiritual teachings, spiritual jazz, spiritual song, chant, dance, and drumming, ceremony, and spiritual teachings in podcasts, inspirational speaking, books, CDs, and DVDs, etc.

• Annual Ancestral Water Ceremony (Founder & Facilitator), inspired by the words of Queen Mother, Winnie Mandela’s words “to do something about those bones in the ocean”, (shared with me when I met KPFK Spotlight Africa host, Assumpta Oturu), years earlier, in 2009. These words I never forgot & pondered for years. Then, in 2019, Crystal was further guided by a message of “Atonement to the Ancestors,” in a dream, as Winnie Mandela transitioned to the ancestral realm, (which Crystal found out, later the same day). This was only months prior to the announcement of the national #400 Years of African American History Comemmoration (1619-2019), [although Africans were also in the Americas before Columbus & U.S. slavery]. In answer to Winnie Mandela’s clear call, Crystal facilitated the 1st Annual Ancestral Water Ceremony on Winter Solstice of that year and every year since.
