Ep 104: Willa and the Forest Spirits (audio version)

Joining Patreon: Please do not join via the Apple app which takes a third of my membership fee! please join via Patreon at: https://www.patreon.com/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership A delightful chat with Willa, an Australian woman who has made her home in Zürich, Switzerland. A video version of this chat is on YouTube: https://youtu.be/oTsepRFupcc?si=5KGtwaH-N81DALqp Willa's encounter took place five years ago in the Tarragona region of Spain. 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." 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 In America: Habitat for Humanity, The Salvation Army and Covenant House.

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. Support Lodge Tales on Patreon Exciting News! This is TMFSP's first published episode with ⁠SpectreVision Radio⁠.

Ep 100: Annick Brofman: Chakra Healing with The Body Mirror System

An in-depth conversation with Annick Brofman, long-time healer and wife of Martin Brofman, creator of the Body Mirror System. I trained with Martin from 2005 until 2014. Here’s Martin talking about healing and consciousness https://youtube.com/@iamhealer?si=f9orde0YC9QeXLIB⁠ Joining Patreon: Please do not join via the Apple app which takes a third of my membership fee! please join instead via your browser at Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership⁠⁠ Two Day Workshop BRISTOL November 2025 To mark the 20th anniversary of my healing transition with Body Mirror System, I am organising a two-day workshop in Bristol 22/23 November. https://www.scarlettofthefae.com/body-mirror-system-class-bristol-november-22nd-23rd-2025/ How Does This Relate to Fairy? I credit the profound healing that I received from Martin Brofman in May 2005 with having my first fairy encounter. That healing placed me back on the track of my life, which beforehand had felt distant and impossible. It felt like I had 'come alive' at that point and had been sleepwalking through my life before that transition. Annick and I discuss: 🌈 how Martin healed himself and went on to create the System. 🌈 what each chakra represents in our bodies and our lives. 🌈 some of the experiences that have taken place in these classes. In the exclusive full-length version on Patreon we discuss: 🌈 how the chakra system can be used to understand what is currently happening in the world. During the class you will exchange 5 healings with other participants, using various techniques you have been taught. 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 This July, Modern Fairy Sightings teams up with House of Zophiel to bring you a weekend immersed in the world of faeries.

Ep 99: Hiker on the Bridge...and Banshee? NSW Australia

Simone from New South Wales' first experience was atop a mountain early one morning. Simone and her husband's primal neuroception immediately picked up 'something was not right' and when they saw his eyes, they knew he wasn't human....it was as if he was using that body form to 'see' into this world. And he indicated he had been watching them. Simone also shares her experience of living in a house with what she describes as an elemental of some kind. The house would shake at will. The presence finally made it's appearance in flashing red lights and heavy footsteps approaching Simone's room, when she was alone in the house one night. She also shares her beautiful communion with a river and the vision of a tall white being and lastly, a very nerve-wracking childhood visitation of a large being with long grey curly hair - was it a banshee?
