Ep 104: Willa and the Forest Spirits

A delightful chat with Willa, an Australian woman who has made her home in Zürich, Switzerland. Willa’s encounter took place five years ago in the Tarragona region of Spain.

Warning: These are not fairytales. The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast is designed for viewers and listeners 16 years and older. This show is unsuitable for children or anyone who might be sensitive to creepy content.

Early one morning, she took a stroll through her friend’s garden and came face to face with some beings, whom she describes as ‘forest spirits’, sitting in three trees growing inside a spiral of arrangement of rocks. As Willa described: “I saw them, they seemed to be “looking” at me. My impression was they were aware I could see them. The situation…lasted only for about a minute before they seemed to fold in on themselves and disappear.”

This is an image of the beings that Willa drew recently. She said “here was a hint of wandjina about them.”

Describing herself as a lifelong ‘skeptical person’, we discuss how coming into contact with these beings has made a subsequent impact on Willa’s life and how she feels about visiting this location in the Tarragona region again, later in the year. We also discuss Willa’s call, to aid people like me and you who have become homeless.

Here she is volunteering during lockdown in the kitchen of the Pfuusbus in Zürich. If you would like to donate or find out more about the Pfarrer Sieber organisation here’s the website: https://www.swsieber.ch/

In the UK there are several homelessness charities including Crisis, Shelter and St Mungo’s.

The other episode which I refer to re Tree Being:    • Call to the Otherworld: Encounter in Alber…  warns why we shouldn’t seek out a fairy beau!

Ep 101: Lodge Tales: Shapeshifters and Talking Owls

It was so great to finally meet with R O D W I L L I A M S O N from Lodge Tales Podcast – one of my favourite shows. Rod speaks to fellow members of his Native American community about their strange experiences. The conversations are absolutely wonderful and give a great insight into what we have largely lost in our material-paradigm-focused, modern Western society.

https://lodge-tales.podcastpage.io

We talk about what it was like for Rod to grow up in the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana, – one of the largest reservations in the US – with parents that understand about Otherworld…and others in the wider community who no longer remember their connections with these worlds.

It was an honour to hear about Rod’s experiences including talking owls, a shapeshifting cricket, Little People, the backward speak of Otherworld, a talking eagle speaking Blackfeet.

He tells the terrifying story of the time he went down to the creek with his first cousin and her legs were pulled by an unknown force back beneath the waters.

We discuss shapeshifting in general, how we might relate to Spirits and how we feel about the West reawakening to these ways of seeing the world.

Huge thanks to Rod, please consider supporting his show and helping it to grow.

The Body Mirror System

This system of healing developed by Martin Brofman, is a
synthesis of Western psychology and Eastern philosophies based
on the chakras (energy centers found in the Hindu traditions).
Because each of these chakras can be associated with certain
parts of the consciousness as well as certain parts of the
body, they allow us to read the body as a map of the
consciousness within.

Thus, tensions in the body are seen to reflect tensions in the
consciousness, and the chakras can be used as a vehicle to
understand the Body Mind Interface and its implications for
healing. You will find more information on
https://www.fondation-brofman.org/

The Class During the class, you will exchange 5 healings with other
participants, using various techniques you have been taught,
and at the completion of the class, you will be able to:
1. Understand and experience yourself as a Being of energy.
2. Feel and direct energy, and see energy (auras, chakras, thought
forms.)
3. Understand the relationship between your body and your
consciousness.
4. Understand how symptoms in the body reflect tensions in the
consciousness.
5. Read the body as a map of consciousness, understanding the
inner causes to outer symptoms.
6. Understand the chakras and their associations with specific
parts of the consciousness and specific parts of the body.
7. Use various tools designed for healing (White Light, colors,
thought forms.)
8. See the results of putting these techniques and tools to use.

Ep 94: Otherworldly Hiking Encounter (Sedona, Arizona)

I chat to Tim about a strange interaction which took place during a hike and tapped deeply into his psyche.

This marked both a shift in Tim’s life direction and a return to his underlying sense of ‘true’ self and an openness in life which had slipped away during adulthood. It continues to hold meaning in his current relationships.

We discuss how our home environment as a child shapes how we interact with the Otherworld and how, as an adult we can lose our sense of ‘being’. I hope you enjoy this discussion.

The discussion he watched between Patrick Harpur and ‘a philosopher’ was the interview between Patrick and Bernardo Kastrup. https://youtu.be/r4hEOJQpbiw?si=NTraD-Iog8xMCEzx

Ep 93: Fairies of Hedges and Homes (Sheffield, England)

This is the story of a woman from Sheffield in the North of England, who experienced a fairy flying out from a hedge near her home, in an area which had already felt particularly special to her. She later encountered an imp while staying in a holiday cottage with her family.

With a history of mediumship that seems to have been passed down her ancestral lineage through her great grandmothers (listen to the full extended version on Patreon for a discussion on her mediumship experiences) , Corinne shares how her abilities showed up initially and how she was ultimately able to use visualisation to release a fairy being who appeared to be unwittingly ‘stuck’ in this material plane.

This episode was recorded in July 2024.

⭐️ BONUS ⭐️ In the extended full length P A T R E O N version we also hear about our guest’s encounter with the Angel Metatron and how her experiences with the Otherworld continue to inspire her artwork.

Ep 92: David Halpin: Irish Folklore – Children, Fairies and Cillíns

Writer, David Halpin is a specialist in Irish folklore, fairylore and mythology in general and ideas around consciousness.

David looks at the Irish stories and fairy folklore in a refreshing way, through the lens of writers such as Jacques Vallée and John Keel. His group, Circle Stories on Facebook is an excellent resource and there is a shortened version of Circle Stories on Instagram.

We discuss some of the stories on Duchas.ie Schools Collection (see link below) which relate to children. Some of these involve children being taken to fairyland NB. these are not changeling stories which are a separate type of fairy lore. We also talk about unconsecrated burial grounds called ‘cillíns’.

Please give him a follow!

Ep 90: Druid Adrian Rooke and Gwyn ap Nudd, King of the Fairies

Adrian is a well-known and much-loved Druid of The Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. He is a dear friend. I often join him at Stanton Drew to provide the the equinox and solstice public ceremonies. Everyone is welcome. The link to the Facebook page for dates etc is below.

Some years ago, he told me about his experience with Gwyn ap Nudd. I know Ade well and there’s very little that phases him but this encounter had a profound effect on him, as he describes here.

We also touch on: 
– what it’s like to feel different in this world
– the struggles of addiction
– finding your true path and much more!

I hope you enjoy this chat. Adrian has led a really interesting life and has helped so many people in his role as a counsellor, particularly for people suffering from addictions. We all love his stories and he has a lot of wisdom to impart in this world.

⭐️ In the B O N U S episode on Patreon I share a video about the ‘Dancing Fairies of Sennen Cove’ Cornwall, where I visited in August.

Ep 91: Darragh Mason: The Dark Man

I chat to Darragh Mason, author, researcher and host of Spirit Box Podcast, about his new book Song of the Dark Man.

Our discussion begins with an overview of what, rather than who, ‘The Dark Man’ is. We then move onto the folklore and finally go over some of the first hand encounters which make up the second half of Darragh’s book.

It’s genuinely a fantastic read and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. I also found that it brought a deeper understanding to the encounters that we’ve heard here on Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast, where our guests have crossed paths with aspects of The Dark Man.

So, if you haven’t got your hands on a copy of Song of the Dark Man yet, then tarry not…you need this book in your life 🖤

And be sure to check out Spirit Box Podcast on YouTube where, through his interviews with a fine array of incredible guests, Darragh explores folklore, esoterica and the mysteries of spirit world: https://www.youtube.com/@SpiritBox
Audio version on all apps including Spotify and Apple:

Darragh also has a Spirit Box Podcast Patreon group which I am in too. It’s a brilliant community of people, sharing and supporting one another. Always something interesting happening. I highly recommend it as a community with a great bunch of folks 💚
