Sacred Sites: The Alchemy
Sacred Sites - Alchemy Memorial: Spiritual Teacher – Spiritual Guide
By Freya Savitri Sampson
How may I honour you in words Chicchan, when words pale to your true magnificence? I know not how, save to share something of the intricate weave, of the interplay of our souls.
Awakening in 1999, I met my inner-plane guides who love me unconditionally, who expressed it would be 10 years before I’d meet my Spiritual Teachers, and I asked them how best to utilise the time. They suggested following my heart’s truth, be of service with reconciliation, so I moved to the Pilbara and volunteered at Bujee Noor-Pu Art Centre. Concurrently, crystals magnetised into my life. I dreamt about an amethyst geode, which I then happened upon in a crystal shop with faded signs, along a dusty red-dirt road. Purchasing it with my last $300, as my guides suggested, even though I was jobless and living in a tent in a shed!
Instantly my life improved, within one day I had a job, one week later I moved into staff quarters, the trend continued. Now crystals had entered my life, I became friends with the crystal shop owners Sandy and Rob, who educated me about their manufacture and mining.

Next the amethyst upgraded me to a duplex and my guides introduced me to eBay, where I found two Spirit Quartz points and instantly knew we were destined for one another. I purchased them, however I received a voicemail from the crystal seller who said, “I’m sorry, I don’t sell to Australia, I’ve refunded your money.” Immediately a clear voice in my consciousness stated with certainty, “That’s not true, we are destined.” I played the next voice message, which again was the crystal seller, “It’s me again, after I hung up the phone, I had this most overwhelming knowing that these crystals are meant for you. I am sending them free of charge postage paid.”
These crystals were the first I was guided to; little did I know they were the first three crystals for my Crystal Dreaming™ kit. The Spirit Quartz for the palms of the hands, and the Amethyst geode for recharging them after every session.


It wasn’t until 2009 (10 years later), when I was in your Crystal Awareness Course, Chicchan, that you so eloquently said, “I am here to remind you, about that which is already within you.” Going on to share with our group your knowledge and wisdom about the crystals, their purposes and our intrinsic intuitive relationship with them.
Whilst receiving a practice session in the Crystal Dreaming™ component of the course, I was teleported to a dimension where aqua/ gold, liquid-crystalline planets hummed ‘the music of the spheres’, overcome with tears of bliss, in that moment Raym arrived and said, “Chicchan knows this place.” The realisation came to me - this was where crystal singing bowls were born from, which you Chicchan played so exquisitely. The knowing that our souls were close dawned and a realisation, I had finally found you.
Whenever you played your crystal bowls, I was transported to that place, which you knew so intimately. You were so beautiful and graceful, so gentle and pure and instantly I loved you infinitely. The loving space you held for us all to awaken to our relationship with crystals, and in truth all of creation, was so sweet, truly the nectar of the Goddess.
As Raym shared his awakening experience, the purity of your love touched my heart and soul. That moment when Raym perceived the pink ray of unconditional love emanating from your heart to his. I inner-stood, that unconditional love, was the underpinning frequency that held space for his and humanities spiritual awakening. Thank the Goddess for you, and for your twin-flame relationship that birthed such an extraordinary world-service gift into creation in our time.
Soon after you left this earthly realm, I was blessed by your presence and communion, where upon you asked me, “Would you accept me as one of my team in spirit.” To which I responded, “Providing it is for my divine highest good and based in unconditional love - yes!”
This is greatest gift you have given me Chicchan, the opportunity to know you and continue the great work with you in this new way. You were my teacher, now you are my Guide, more radiantly beautiful than ever.
I trust that these words will be of service to all those who read them, and honour my Spiritual Teachers, Chicchan and Raym.
In the most loving memory of Chicchan Richards, how blessed our world was by your life.
With deepest heart-felt condolences to Raym and family, Lightfoot Chicchan’s horse and best animal friend and her loved ones all over the world.
Blessed Be
