Episode notes

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.

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.
