Listeners, I very much needed this chat with Capuchin Franciscan Priest-Friar, Brother Richard. I hope you feel you get a lot from it too.

We discuss Brother Richard's personal encounters with Otherworldly beings, first as a child and later as a Priest-Friar. He also talks about the Franciscan Order's understandings of Non-Human beings, they steps they take when protection is required or in rare cases exorcism, and he shares his own experiences of aiding in these circumstances.

We also discuss:

- Rites of Passage (particularly in relation to young people)

- Offerings to Otherworldly beings

and so much more.

I found Brother Richard's suggestion of prayer when in a wild place such a gift:

"Bless every being present, seen and unseen, even the beings I pass by, around or through, without knowing."
