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.

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 💚

Ep 89: Pat Noone ‘The Lads From the Other Side’

Fairy Encounters in Medieval England: Landscape, Folklore and the Supernatural

Pat Noone is a well known Irish farmer of Green Hills Farm in Kilconnell, Galway. He has led the way in teaching fellow farmers and people around the world about how to be a good guardian of the land,  living in harmony with nature and the fairy realm.

Pat has fairy forts, and fairy trees in his fields and folk are able to book overnight stays. Some folks have had interesting experiences there!

I chat to Pat about his family’s understanding of ‘the Lads from the Other Side’ and the important messages he has for us as a guardian of the land and a land healer.

Ep 88. Jeremy Harte: Medieval Fairy Encounters

Fairy Encounters in Medieval England: Landscape, Folklore and the Supernatural

Jeremy Harte is an independent folklore researcher and author. He’s written a number of books on the subject including Explore Fairy Traditions which won the 2005 Katharine Briggs Award and Cloven Country: The Devil and the English Landscape

His new book Fairy Encounters in Medieval England: Landscape, Folklore and the Supernatural is a really great read. It’s entertaining and wittily written. Supernatural encounters from primary source material are tied together through the chapters and also include stories related to documented miracles. The second half covers fairy-related place names in the English landscape.

Ep 86: Dark Man Appears on Glastonbury Tor: Jessica Mitchell

Big thanks to Jessica for sharing her story 🌿

I first heard about Jessica’s encounter with a tall dark man on Glastonbury Tor on Darragh Mason’s Spirit Box Podcast. Since then, she feels her sense of this being has developed further. This discussion is a chance to chat about what their meeting now means to her.

We hear how he has entered her life in other ways and how he is a source of guidance and support to her.

I was amazed to hear an updated detail about The Dark Man’s request for “a cup of tea” and “a cigarette” that he made to Jessica and her friend, as they stood, terrified on the hill of the Tor at 4.30am.

Jessica takes tarot appointments and her contact details are: jessietwobears1210@gmail.com and @jessie_twobears

Ep 85: “They Want To Talk To Us” South Wales Encounter

Our guest was only eleven years old when he wandered away from his holiday caravan site and found himself in the woods, communicating with two white beings.

They guided him through ‘rooms’ which seemed to have glass walls facing into the forest and showed him some kind of technical representation of how they were aiding us here on Earth. He also experienced lost time during the event.

Until recently he had never been able to speak about his experience. When he heard others talking on the show, he decided to contact me.

Every single encounter shared in the Project offers us greater understanding of this Universe. As you will see, this is no exception.

🌟 The Patreon-Exclusive full length episode is a whole extra hour of conversation with our guest. He describes what he feels is ahead for us in the future and part of that is all about ‘changing our perspective’. He also talks about how this experience developed over time for him. Join us on Patreon for lots of bonus content and most of all, our beautiful, warm community of like-minded folks.
